The so-called consumer upgrade, in my opinion, is to pull the "battlefield" to higher-priced, higher-level segments, and the majority of auto brands are indeed doing so. In the new energy midsize car segment, BYD's Han, ZEEKR 001, NETA S, NIO ET7, and IM L7 have been born one after another, and the competition is no less fierce than in other segments, but the only ones that have really gained market recognition (top sales) are ZEEKR 001 and Han. Even so, there are still many new cars being prepared for the market, such as the RISING F7 that I want to talk to you about today.
As the new mid-size sedan of RISING Auto, the RISING F7 is currently open for pre-sale, with a pre-sale price of 280,000-350,000 yuan, and the new car is expected to be listed and open for delivery in late March. From the current information revealed by RISING Auto, the goal of RISING F7 is naturally to grab the existing market share, and to be more blunt, it is actually to "take food" from the mouth of ZEEKR 001 and BYD Han. However, it's not that simple to stand out from the crowd, does RISING F7 have the strength?
The information that has been revealed about the RISING F7 is that it will be available in rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions, and the pictures in this article show the four-wheel drive version, around which we will also start to interpret. As you can see, like most new energy vehicles, the shape of the RISING F7 is of a more stunning type, with a wind resistance coefficient as low as 0.206. The front area creates a visual effect of a wide-body coupe, with a closed front design with sharp headlights, and "fangs" on both sides highlighting the sense of movement, as well as the black front surround. The closed front design with sharp headlights and sporty "fangs" on both sides, as well as the black front fascia, further enhance the aggressiveness and sportiness of the RISING F7.
The side of the car is also a very sporty swooping design, with a short front overhang and long rear overhang, as well as a hatchback body with a sliding back shape, bringing a more low-slung visual effect. With a body length of 5 meters and a wheelbase of 3 meters, the RISING F7 also looks slender enough, and it is worth mentioning that this length is the golden size of medium to large electric cars, so the visual effect is quite good.
As for the wheels, the RISING F7 will be offered with two sizes of 19-inch and 20-inch wheels, with the 19-inch wheels being aerodynamic wheels. The picture shows 20-inch wheels with Brembo piston calipers, which further enhances its sense of performance.
The rear of the RISING F7 is designed with the floating island concept, with the running tail lights and the upturned duck tail creating a good three-dimensional effect, and the "R" logo is designed in the middle of the running tail lights, which looks very qualitative. Both sides of the rear are also designed with dynamic aerodynamic air vents, equipped with a diffuser at the bottom, enhancing the entire car's sporty atmosphere.
On the interior, RISING F7 continues the brand's tradition of "screen domination", and like RISING R7, the car is equipped with a 3+1 RISING MAX 43-inch triple screen, and an 8-inch entertainment screen in the rear. In terms of intelligent car networking, RISING F7 is equipped with the RISING OS intelligent cabin interaction system and uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip. The system is designed to be more user-friendly than the traditional car hardware, and the front and rear spaces are separated to provide a two-way, dual-zone independent theater experience, so that the main driver, passenger and rear rows can browse information alone, or entertain and watch movies together.
In terms of interior coloring, RISING F7 offers two color options: white and brown, creating two different visual effects. The interior of the F7 is covered with a large area of leather material, and the local area is covered with a frosted metal panel, together with the air conditioning vents and metal lines outlined on the edge of the screen, further enhancing the sense of class inside the car.
Unlike the RISING R7, the RISING F7's multifunction steering wheel adopts a more common three-spoke design, but the multifunction buttons on both sides are slightly different, it uses a scroll wheel design similar to Tesla's, and the bottom is a touch button, with the pocket gear design, the overall is still in line with the car's technological atmosphere.
In addition, in the intelligent driving assistance part, RISING F7 also put a lot of effort, the car uses RISING PILOT high-level intelligent driving system, the whole car is equipped with a total of 32 sensors, including a high-gauge LIDAR, 8 megapixel camera, enhanced version of the long-range point cloud angle radar, only love as PREMIUM 4D imaging radar, while equipped with NVIDIA DRIVE Orin chip, which will process the information received by the sensors. At the same time, RISING F7 also adopts 3D vector sound technology, providing 14+2 speakers, 7.1 channel surround, voice broadcast will be more directional when navigating the vehicle, allowing the driver to grasp the road information faster.
Seat, RISING F7 use NAPPA perforated leather, support effect and breathability are good, two wing support is also good enough. And the configuration is not ambiguous, seat heating, ventilation and lumbar hot stone massage function are equipped, plus the car can be seen everywhere in the storage compartment, cell phone wireless charging area, headrest audio, the overall bring ride experience is not worse than the same price pole ZEEKR 001 and Han.
Compared to the richly configured front seats, the rear seats of the F7 are a little less interesting in terms of configuration, which cannot be compared to the ZEEKR 001. However, the second row of seats supports 6° adjustment, and the seats are thicker, plus it has a panoramic canopy of 1.98 square meters, so the ride down comfort is still good.
Power, RISING F7 is divided into rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions, where the rear-wheel drive version of the motor maximum power of 250kW, the official 0-100km/h acceleration score of 5.7 seconds, four-wheel drive version of the motor maximum power of 400kW, the official 0-100km/h acceleration score of 3.7 seconds. On the contrary, the acceleration scores of the two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions of the ZEEKR 001 are 6.9 seconds and 3.8 seconds respectively; the fastest acceleration scores of the two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions of the BYD Han are 7.9 seconds and 3.7 seconds respectively. At the same time, the chassis of RISING F7 is aluminum alloy lightweight design of the front double-wishbone rear five-link suspension, with Broembo brake calipers, the overall driving control performance is still quite worth looking forward to.
As for the range, the RISING F7 offers two versions of 666 km and 600 km respectively, which are basically at the same level as its class. However, the difference is that the F7 also offers the option of power exchange and non-power exchange, and the power exchange version can be booked through the RISING APP for the power exchange station and the time of power exchange. Of course, the number of exchange stations is still relatively limited at the moment. The other thing is that RISING F7 also has a car-electricity separation service RBS, which can reduce the price threshold of the model to a certain extent.
In conclusion.
In terms of strength, RISING F7 is not worse than Pole ZEEKR 001 and BYD Han, even in terms of design and performance output, RISING F7 also shows the advantageous side. What is even more crucial is that the existence of RISING's car-electric separation service RBS is likely to bring the price of RISING F7 to within 200,000 yuan, which adds a layer of advantage to it. So all the signs show that RISING F7 fire up, from the ZEEKR 001, BYD Han mouth "take food" or the possibility of great, specific it can seize how much market share, let me wait and see.
