Since the Feifan F7 Urban Edition to 18After the price of 990,000 yuan entered the market within 200,000 yuan, the 2024 Feifan R7, a mid-to-large coupe SUV launched at the Guangzhou Auto Show not long ago, also announced the same starting price**. Presumably, this has made many people sigh: the current new energy market is really a volume. On December 17th, "Smart and Comfortable as You Like 7", Feifan's "Gemini" National Test Drive Conference came to Guangzhou, taking this opportunity to feel the strength of Feifan's two "7s".
First of all, the medium and large pure electric sedan Feifan F7, the appearance is derived from the essence of the Red Dot Award design, and the first impression is relatively advanced. The front of the car as a whole presents a downward swooping trend, without the through-type headlights that many new energy models like at present, and the split headlights are combined with the closed front face, which is more concise and durable.
The Feifan F7 has a body length of 5 meters and a wheelbase of 3 meters, and the side lines look stretched. The frameless doors are fitted as standard, with double-laminated acoustic glass and an electrically suction function. This configuration can also be available at this price point, thanks to the market. The slender and coherent taillight design, the ** logo also has a lighting effect. The rear of the car adopts a fastback design, and the tail box opening is large, and the space and practicality are satisfactory.
Sitting in the car to start a test drive, there are leather wraps in all positions, and the front seats are ventilated, heated, and massaged, which is soft and supportive. The ** cockpit of Feifan F7 can give this texture at this price, which is worthy of praise. And the 43-inch wide triple screen in the cockpit that is difficult not to notice is also delicate enough for visual effects.
The F7 in this test drive is a rear-wheel drive version, with power and torque of 250kW and 450N·m respectively, and the 000 acceleration time is only 57s。Compared with the rear-wheel drive models of the same level, which are generally equipped with a rear motor of more than 200 kilowatts, it is not an exaggeration to say that the F7 is the strongest rear-wheel drive in its class. On the Guangzhou Ring Expressway, although the road conditions are not enough to support the experience of high speeds, the rapid acceleration of multiple lane changes and overtaking can still feel a good power release.
The split front double wishbone design and 50:50 front and rear axle load ratio allow the F7 to maintain a good body posture when changing lanes or entering corners, and the roll suppression is very good. On a section of cement road without asphalt, road noise, tire noise and external noise have a good isolation effect, which is also due to the fact that the windshield, windows and sunroof of the F7 are equipped with double-layer soundproof glass.
After arriving at the change point, it is time to test drive the Feifan R7, a mid-to-large coupe SUV. The R7 can be seen as a more generous and more efficient F7, and the equally comfortable ** cockpit is indeed a big selling point of a family-oriented SUV model. Wouldn't it be nice to have a seat heated up in December. Maybe it's because of the thick clothes, but I feel that even the highest level of massage is a little lacking.
Looking up, it's 1The 855m integrated panoramic canopy has a very good transparency. In addition, the vector sound technology of the ** cockpit during the test drive also brought many surprises. For example, if there is a vehicle passing behind the left, the R7 will gradually change from the rear left to the front left. For another example, when the navigation prompts the right side of the ramp, the prompt sound is also issued from the right side, so that the driver can hear the sound and distinguish the position.
Compared with the brother F7, another highlight of the R7 is that it is equipped with the only Huawei AR-HUD lane-level enhanced real-world navigation in the same class. AR-HUD and triple screen can be linked together to form a 3+1 visual interactive experience, which greatly enhances the sense of technology. Different from other HUDs, the R7's AR-HUD not only integrates cursor arrows into navigation information such as speed, but also displays destinations, energy facilities, and other signs such as track flags and lightning bolt signs, giving it the feeling of playing an AR game. Due to the test drive section and scene, only some of the functions of this AR-HUD have been tried, and interested friends can go to the offline Feifan store to make an appointment for a test drive to feel it themselves.
Not only that, the 24 Feifan R7 is also equipped with the industry's first and only stepless driving mode in its class. In other words, the R7's electric valve response and energy** can be adjusted completely to your liking, and you can also adjust the driving experience to look like a petrol car. Combined with a very linear brake feel, this is a blessing for many friends who sit in the back of the tram and are prone to motion sickness.
Although the R7 is a cut taller than the F7, you can feel that the body posture has a good performance when you drive it. It is reported that this is due to the Feifan Bay driving system equipped on the R7, which is also the industry's first automotive dynamic technology that integrates the concept of aviation. While current models are typically developed with only positive wind tunnel testing, the R7 has been tested in the industry's first crosswind wind tunnel to optimize lateral aerodynamics. This not only provides better stability against incoming winds at high speeds, but also helps prevent roll when cornering and making U-turns.
Summary: Through this Feifan "Gemini" test drive, it can be seen that Feifan Automobile's response to the current market is not good, after all, it has been applauded in the early stage. Moreover, SAIC's new energy models, whether they are Feifan or Zhiji, etc., can become selling points in the same level of products, which is also the strength of the old car companies. The prices of the F7 and R7 medium and large-sized models have come to the beginning of the "1", and the competitiveness has indeed improved a lot. Such a quality-price ratio reminds me of another "7" released a while ago - Volkswagen ID7, it's a bit embarrassing to compare everyone else, right?
