All along, the focus of the new domestic brands are in the SUV, after all, the chassis space is relatively easy, the difficulty of research and development is relatively low, and the user recognition of high-end new energy SUVs is higher than that of high-end new energy cars.
However, there are actually several high-end independent brand new energy sedans on the market, such as BYD Han, such as the NIO ET7, the sales performance of the two in the same price point is a relatively good level.
A few days ago, I took a real-life experience of the NIO ET7, let's see what features the actual car has.
The shape of the hood is relatively simple, with a raised rib line on both sides, effectively increasing the sense of power. The grille is the common closed shape of pure electric vehicles, and creates a certain sense of hierarchy.
The roof of the auxiliary driving is also very recognizable design style, including a LIDAR and two cameras; designed in the roof although slightly abrupt in terms of visual effects, but also in the event of a cut to reduce the risk of damage to the auxiliary driving hardware.
The headlight cluster adopts a split design, with the daytime running lights located at the edge of the hood in a sharp style; the high and low beam lights are located in the inflow slot area on both sides of the grille in a more individual style. The middle part of the lower envelope is also designed with trapezoidal air intakes, and the interior is decorated with a horizontal structure, effectively increasing the sense of hierarchy of the front end.
In terms of side shape, the roof adopts a sliding back shape, frameless doors are not absent, with a strong coupe model; door handles are pop-up design, which can play a role in reducing wind resistance; the wheels use a five-spoke two-color modeling, texture performance is relatively outstanding, with red calipers also further enhance the sense of movement.
In the rear, the top of the trunk is designed with a slightly upturned ducktail, and the smoked taillight cluster adopts a through design, effectively stretching the horizontal visual width of the rear; the trapezoidal license plate frame adopts a concave design, embellishing the rear of the car's sense of hierarchy; the shape of the lower bracket is relatively simple, with the addition of thick black trim plate for decoration, bringing a certain sense of power performance.
In terms of dimensions, the NIO ET7 has a length, width and height of 5101/1987/1509mm and a wheelbase of 3060mm, positioning it as a mid-size sedan.
As for the interior, the overall design style is very simple, offering a two-spoke flat-bottom multi-function steering wheel, a full LCD instrument panel, a large center control screen with vertical layout, and a paddle-type electronic gear knob; the NOMI assistant on the center console is not absent, and has a nerdy feel.
The actual model's interior color scheme is mainly black with brown, a large area of soft materials used for wrapping, wood grain style trim also effectively increases the sense of class of the interior, the overall sense of atmosphere is relatively in place.
The air silence is one of the highlights of the ET7, even among mid-size sedans, which is a top level, fully catering to the preferences of domestic users; the cushions are soft and the central floor is completely flat, so the three passengers do not feel crowded in the back.
In terms of configuration, the NIO ET7 comes standard with tire pressure display, parallel assist, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, active braking, full-speed adaptive cruise control, front and rear parking radar, panoramic video, automatic parking, automatic parking, hill climb assist, air suspension, panoramic canopy, electric suction doors, keyless entry, one-touch start, heated/memory steering wheel, wireless charging for front cell phones, HUD head-up display, built-in driving recorder, automatic LED headlights, adaptive high and low beam, automatic wipers, automatic air conditioning and independent rear air conditioning. display, built-in driving recorder, power adjustable/heated/ventilated/massage front seats, automatic LED headlights, adaptive high and low beam, automatic wipers, automatic air conditioning and independent rear air conditioning.
In terms of power, the entire NIO lineup is equipped with dual front and rear motors, with a combined maximum power of 480kW, peak torque of 850N-m and a 100km acceleration time of 3.8 seconds. In terms of range, the 75kWh battery pack version of the CLTC has a range of 530km and the 100kWh battery pack version has a range of 675km.
Summary.
The NIO ET7 has the feeling of a high-end model in terms of both appearance and interior, with an atmospheric and sporty appearance, a simple but not aggressive interior, and a sense of luxury in place.
Other aspects such as power, range and configuration are also at the level of this price point, so there is no problem in meeting daily driving needs. If you are planning to buy a new energy car with a budget of around 500,000, the NIO ET7 is worth considering.
