Fan Fei F7 wants to set a benchmark for the luxury cockpit of pure electric vehicles.

With the deepening of intelligence, the competition of pure electric vehicles is becoming more and more fierce. Now the pure electric SUV that blows the horn for the new forces can no longer meet the expectations of users by relying on large space. The combination of comfort and space on the basis of intelligence is king. Under this trend, Fan Fei F7 and Weilai ET7 once stood on the same topic list because of their looks, but this time they stood on the same "runway" because of the same positioning. However, on closer inspection, there are obvious differences in the understanding of the combination of space and comfort between the two models, which may be the direction of the "involution" of the next round of pure electric vehicles.

Looks similar? In fact, we are different!

Before comparing the space and comfort of the two cars horizontally, we might as well make a simple comparison of the shapes of the two cars that have received much attention before. In contrast, although F7 and ET7 also use simple split headlights combined with daytime running lights and large air intake grille, they are obviously different in details.

F7 exterior design continues the essence of the Red Dot Award. The front and rear of the car are long and short, the posture is low and high, and the waistline is divided into upper thin and lower thick, which conforms to the classic aesthetics. The "feather face" of the car body embodies the design concept of super-running potential energy aesthetics from point to line, eliminating redundant lines. The design of "Floating Island Tail" makes the whole vehicle look more advanced and scientific. F7 is also equipped with a million super-running star wheel of the same model. With the red Brembo4 piston calipers, the taste of super running is coming. Coupled with the design of low-lying body, sliding roof, hidden door handle and borderless door, the drag coefficient of the whole vehicle is only 0.206Cd. Under the powerful aerodynamic design, the zero acceleration of F7 is as fast as 3.7s s. The above two data show that F7 is better than ET7.

On the other hand, ET7, as the first model in Weilai to cut into the car sequence from SUV, still seems to bear the imprint of SUV: it is large in size, full in front face, with large-size thick-walled tires, and the integrated taillights are clean and neat, giving people a heavy feeling as a whole. The three "corners" on the roof of ET7 once became its symbol.

Generally speaking, F7 is more dynamic than ET7, and more in line with modern aesthetics and aerodynamic laws. Will F7 with greater dynamic potential be better than ET7 with greater spatial performance? We might as well explore it carefully.

Total volume = large space? Do not go out!

Before comparing, let's make clear the relationship between sense of volume and sense of space. As we all know, the utilization rate of the interior space is not only related to the size of the car body, but also related to the adjustable degree of the interior configuration, including the up-and-down adjustment height and the front-and-rear adjustment range of the seat. Through the design of internal adjustment range, a greater degree of space folding can be realized, and F7 is very helpful in this respect.

The F7 has a body size of 5000x 1953x 1494mm and a wheelbase of 3000 mm, compared with the body size of ET7510/1987/1509mm and 3069mm. Nevertheless, F7 achieved the longest front-rear distance of 962mm in the same class. In addition, the rack structure innovatively replaces the traditional toothed plate structure, and the minimum height of the seat is reduced by 28mm again. In addition, the battery pack of the reclining structure is reduced by about 30mm, and the F7 has an overall low streamlined shape, but the vertical space in the front row can reach an astonishing 99cm.

In contrast, although ET7 is "tall" in appearance, the adjustment degree of the internal available space is not as flexible as F7, and its long and wide volume is not friendly to novices under the premise of low folding degree of the internal space.

Comfortable seats prevailed.

On the comfort level, based on different car scenes, the focus of comfort experience is also different. First of all, for the conventional car scene, that is, the basic scene derived from the core function of driving, such as commuting regularly. In this scenario, consumers' intuitive feelings about the comfort in the car mainly come from the seat experience.

In terms of configuration, both F7 and ET7 are high-standard luxury configurations. The skeleton of F7 full-seat Bach chair is made of high-strength steel treated by electrophoresis, and its stiffness exceeds the national standard by 30%, which has good durability. The surface is made of NAPPA high-end fabric, and the main drive 14 direction is electrically adjustable. With four-way lumbar support adjustment, a total of 70mm soft foam layer, 580mm longest seat cushion, electric leg rest and three layers of ***65mm soft foam layer, it brings a comfortable experience comparable to that of millions of luxury cars.

ET7 is also made of Napa leather fabric, and the front seat cushion supports about 60 mm extension. Although both the main driver and the co-driver support 14 electric adjustment, the rear seat is only adjusted by 4 degrees compared with F7' s 6-degree electric adjustment, and the backrest angle of the rear seat is relatively straight, and the length of the seat cushion is also relatively short, so users who are slightly taller are likely to feel tired after riding for a long time.

F7 rear seat adopts semi-independent design, and the rear armrest is put down, giving people the feeling of luxurious four seats. In addition, ET7 has no rear entertainment screen, and F7 makes every seat a luxury entertainment seat, so that everyone can enjoy luxury equally.

Even more amazing, F7 is also equipped with headrest speakers, which ET7 does not have. With it, F7 can realize the partition mode of front and rear audio, and can also provide exclusive audio mode for the main driver. This means that the front and rear row stereos will not interfere with each other, and the rear row does not have to interrupt or turn down the volume because of navigation and other driving stereos when enjoying entertainment scenes. On the other hand, the main driver can enjoy the scene audio he needs, without interference and influence from other seat audio applications, and can have more privacy protection when answering the phone, so that driving safety is more guaranteed.

The underlying logic that brings comfortable somatosensory feeling is the support of scientific and technological strength. In the performance of scientific and technological strength, F7 Bach Chair recently won the highest score of "Comfort Star" in the history of China Automotive Research Institute, and got full marks in 30 test items, which shows the product strength.

The core foundation behind this honor is the first fully indexed China anthropometric database built by President F7 Bach relying on SAIC and the third-party standardization authority. Based on the data support of this database, Fan Fei guides the development of ergonomics by covering 23 characterization indexes and detailed data of 5%, 50% and 95% body types, and designs seats that are more in line with China characteristics. In addition, the Feifanbach seat is optimized from two dimensions: static pressure distribution and dynamic vibration frequency, which further improves the riding comfort.

In addition, by innovatively replacing the traditional toothed plate structure with the rack structure, the F7 can reduce the minimum height of the seat by 28mm, and with the battery pack whose prone position is about 30mm thinner, the Fan Fei F7 presents a low-lying streamlined shape as a whole, and the front head space reaches 99cm, which is comfortable and does not affect the driving vision.

On the other hand, ET7' s seat continues the traditional luxury design. Without the support of such a huge database as F7, the matching degree between seat height design and actual demand is obviously not as high as F7.

To experience advanced comfort, you have to look at these besides the seats!

Advanced comfort is not limited to the tactile experience brought by the seat, but multi-sensory linkage and smooth human-computer interaction. In this respect, F7 and ET7 have different performances.

First of all, in terms of sound and sound effects, F7 is equipped with 16 speakers, of which 14 speakers and two head pillows, especially its headrest sound is very distinctive, which is rare in the same class. The design of headrest speaker can not only improve passengers' perception of sound quality, but also transmit driving information such as navigation to the driver without affecting other passengers in the car. The 3D vector sound effect is ten times that of the traditional 1 12-channel audio signal, which enables the multimedia sound effect, the prompt sound outside the car and the interactive sound inside the car, and the sound planning is highly coordinated and unified from the system to meet the needs of different scenes. For example, when driving intelligently, users can judge the direction according to the directionality or directionality of 3D sound effects. When navigating, the driver can get the steering information according to the direction of the sound, so as to avoid driving mistakes caused by vague prompts. When reversing, the distance between the car body and the rear obstacle can also be represented by the distance of sound. In addition, F7' s personal voice interaction can avoid poor communication between the front and rear seats caused by distance.

Different from F7' s sense of science and technology and intelligent sensory communication experience. ET7 tends to be more traditional in the concept of creating sound. ET7 is equipped with 23 speakers, including 7 tweeters, 7 midrange units, 4 woofers, 1 subwoofer and 4 sky channels, with a total power of 1000W W ... Based on this huge volume and Dolby panoramic sound, ET7 breaks through the traditional 5. 1 channel and 7./kloc-0. Its sound effect largely depends on the adjustment level and hardware stack of audio manufacturers. There is no intelligent sound architecture like F7, and there is no 3D stereo effect.

Intelligent man-machine interaction, powerful intelligent cabin system

Advanced comfort is absolutely indispensable for human-computer interaction, and how to realize smooth human-computer interaction is closely related to the underlying software and hardware.

In hardware, both F7 and ET7 are equipped with 8 155 chips, and the basic experience is very smooth. However, compared with ET7, ET7 is only equipped with full LCD instrument panel and suspended central control panel, F7' s 43-inch wide true color triple screen and the second 8-inch interactive entertainment screen, which seems to create an immersive appearance and feeling through three-screen linkage and multi-tone speech recognition.

In terms of software, F7 and ET7 developed their own intelligent cabin interaction systems from different logic systems based on users' general demand for simple and smooth interaction process, efficient interaction experience and immersion.

F7 Based on intuitive interactive logic, the Rising OS intelligent cabin system is built. The use of quasi-physical icon design, intuitive driving display, and functional control such as "visible saying" and "visible point" are very in line with the needs of modern users to get started easily.

In this respect, ET7 has also been fully demonstrated. Banyan Tree Intelligent System supports full touch of the central control panel, and only three functions of driving mode, double flashing lights and door lock are separately set as physical buttons, and all other functions are integrated in the central control panel, so the learning cost for consumers is low. In addition, NOMI, a voice assistant that evolved to version 2.0, was once deeply loved by users.

The entertainment scene that determines the future wind direction is an important part to measure the comfort of the interior space.

All of the above are based on the comfortable experience brought by the conventional scenes of travel, but combined with the real life of users, travel is only a part of it. Rich and varied entertainment scenes, such as playing games, watching movies, traveling and camping, are more attractive to users and greatly expand the possibility of "the third space". This puts forward new requirements for the response ability of in-vehicle entertainment scenes.

In terms of scenes, both F7 and ET7 have developed unique shortcut function modes according to the different needs of users, which also confirms their Scientific Outlook on Development based on science and technology and looking to the future. For example, F7 takes various scenes such as rest, camping, games and watching movies into account according to the diversified needs of real life, and develops different models accordingly. In different modes, users can transform the indoor space into a unique space closest to the real scene, and can also customize the scene settings according to their personal needs. For example, the game mode, combined with three-screen interconnection and stereoscopic 3D sound effects, allows players to enter the world of full-sensory games in minutes. In camping mode, F7' s large hatchback tailgate with a height of 66cm and a depth of 1 14cm, combined with soothing music, can meet the needs of users sitting in the trunk to watch the sunrise and sunset.

ET7' s quick scene functions include commuting, going home, fancy outing, etc., but even with different names, it still focuses on the core demand of "travel" and does not cut into the pan-entertainment scene demand other than "transportation".

Generally speaking, the comfort of ET7 is a continuation of traditional modern interpretation, which may be mixed with some scientific and technological flavor, but the overall "old-fashioned" meaning is more obvious. Whether it is seat, sound adjustment, in-car screen or shortcut function setting, it only delineates the car scene in the field of travel, and does not derive more scene development and entertainment experience. On the other hand, F7 is more avant-garde, which can not only meet the basic car scenes, but also develop more playable space on the basis of intelligence, with greater selectivity. Moreover, compared with ET7' s price of 400,000 to 500,000, F7' s minimum price of less than 300,000 is more attractive.

Finally, it is worth mentioning that both of them provide power exchange services, and the convenience of replenishing energy is similar. In addition, if the rental battery version is launched in F7, I believe there is still room for price exploration. I want to continue to pay attention to the development of F7 and the suggestion of pure electric vehicles.
