Can the NIO ET7 replace the BBA in 3 seconds and with air suspension as standard?

NIO ET7 Range: The core triboelectric system is adapted to the road environment

Since the NT2.0 entered mass production, NIO has completed the layout and production of its new generation of products, and among the many products, the "fastest NIO" - the NIO ET7 - is naturally the one with the most attention. From the 3-second powertrain to the 1,000-kilometer range battery, to the L3 computing platform and sensing hardware, the ET7 has everything that can beat most of the competition in the new energy market. Will this seemingly leading hardware and software, all put together in one car, eventually bring about a leading comprehensive ability? Will it be able to replace the BBA? Let's take a look at the ET7 now.

NIO ET7 Range: The core triboelectric system is adapted to the road environment

I'm sure you're already tired of reading the static and dynamic reviews of the ET7, but here we'll focus on the technical details of the ET7 based on the few important advantages mentioned earlier. The core triboelectric system, which includes electric motor, battery pack and electronic control unit, has been built for the entire NIO ET7 series, and each subdivision will get an electric 4WD system consisting of dual front and rear motors, which will bring 480kW of maximum power and 850N-m of maximum torque to the vehicle, which is equivalent to those we have seen in the fuel market. V8, V12, with a fixed gear ratio gearbox that can be switched on and off, each NIO ET7 will be able to accelerate within 3.8 seconds, but its maximum speed is still limited to less than 200km/h by the battery pack current and BMS electronic control unit, which is of course perfectly fine in the domestic road environment.

In terms of range, in addition to the debut 75kWh and 100kWh battery packs, the NIO ET7 also gets a solid-state battery pack with 150kWh battery energy, which continues to be produced by Jiangsu Times and is capable of pulling the vehicle's NEDC combined range up to 1,000km, while the 75kWh and 100kWh packs correspond to 500km and 700km NEDC combined range figures.

NIO ET7 is more "costly" than Tesla Model 3 in assisted driving

In terms of assisted driving, the surface of the roof structure and other areas of the ET7 are the sensing hardware used to achieve L3 level assisted driving, including one LIDAR, five millimeter wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars and 11 different types of cameras. At the same time, with four Nvidia Drive Orin smart driving chips as the core, Banyan-Banyan also gets an Adam supercomputing platform with a total computing power of 1016 TOPS, and these two technology systems together support the NAD autonomous driving of NIO ET7.

Of course, NIO ET7's NAD does not give everything for nothing. With standard L2 level assisted driving, every NIO ET7 is capable of 540 degree panoramic view with blind zone warning, full speed adaptive cruise with automatic lane change assist and automatic parking, but to achieve automatic driving on highways and some city roads, complete automatic parking in multiple scenarios, remote parking, intelligent summoning If we convert Tesla's 64,000 yuan full autopilot option package, it's equivalent to 94 months of payment, and only when the vehicle cycle exceeds 8 years does the ET7 appear to be more "costly" than the Tesla Model 3 in terms of assisted driving. The ET7 is more "costly" than the Tesla Model 3 in the assisted driving segment.

NIO ET7 intelligent technology: all-round luxury

In terms of infotainment, the 12.8-inch touchscreen OLED screen naturally maintains a high specification, while the 10.2-inch full LCD instrument cluster and paired HUD head-up display system of the NIO ET7's suspended layout will make its infotainment functions more realistic than many new energy manufacturers wanting to maverick in their infotainment hardware design, and the specific operation can be achieved from fuel to new energy. Seamless connection, without having to get used to the car-machine interaction again. Of course, the NOMI system with the presentation of the interactive robot still brings some additional interaction fun, which will be achieved through an interactive display at the top of the center console. Meanwhile, the V2X vehicle-road collaboration + high precision map module can also be used for navigation optimization, the 23-speaker surround sound system enables Dolby Atmos, and the 256-color ambient lighting + on-board fragrance will enhance the cabin's comprehensive feedback in more sensory ways.

What the ET7 shows through the NT2.0 platform is not just a stream of technology in terms of hardware and software, it also does an excellent job in meeting the most basic capability of passenger cars, which is to ride. We often hear about NVH performance, which in short is about the vibration and silence of the vehicle, and ultimately the ride comfort feedback. With this in mind, the NIO ET7 starts with full leather seats covered with heated/ventilated/massage to make sure the base is tactile, full multi-layer acoustic glass, rear privacy glass and air suspension system in the chassis to further optimize the vibration and sound insulation in the dynamics. However, Nappa leather is part of the Premium Interior Package, and an additional 21,000 yuan is required to obtain such an upgrade, again at a cost that does not differ across the lineup.

Ride experience is comparable to BBA

In terms of other features, the ET7 also comes with a standard segmented sunroof, frameless power-operated doors, power door locks that can be unlocked via Bluetooth/NFC/UWB, and a heat pump air conditioning system that combines PM2.5 filtration/air purification/negative ion purification, etc. Unless you mind whether you're sitting in leather or not, the ET7's intelligent technology, internet-connected software and electrified hardware are all hard to beat. ET7's "new three" all present a hard-to-pick all-round luxury, so it is not difficult to replace BBA.
