In the past, if you had a budget of four or five hundred thousand yuan to buy a luxury car, more people might choose BBA, and with the entry of a number of new forces such as Wei Xiaoli into the high-end luxury market, consumers have a new understanding of the definition of luxury. However, from the perspective of the terminal market, there are still many people who recognize the luxury of BBA, believing that BBA has a deep history, the quality of car manufacturing is more trustworthy, and the luxury created is of course the top, but is this really the case?
Today, we will answer your questions through a detailed comparison of the NIO ET7 and Mercedes-Benz EQE, which are both medium and large luxury pure electric sedans.
Let's compare the appearance of the two cars first, NIO ET7 adopts a new generation of "X-BAR" design language, with concise and capable lines outlining a visually impactful front face, and high- and low-beam integrated LED headlights with "double-dash" daytime running lights, which makes the vehicle full of refinement. The design of the lidar component in front of the roof also blends perfectly with the whole vehicle without being obtrusive.
From the side, the smooth body waistline and the wide-body low-lying shape make the NIO ET7 quite sporty, and thanks to the design optimization of the details of various parts of the body, the drag coefficient of the NIO ET7 is only 0208cd, coupled with intelligent frameless electric suction door, not only enhances the fashion sense of the vehicle, but also allows users to enjoy a luxurious sense of ritual between movement and stillness. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the NIO ET7 are 5101 1987 1509 mm, and the wheelbase is 3060mm.
Compared with the front face, the rear design of the NIO ET7 is purer and more futuristic. The design of the large slip-back is fashionable and dynamic, and the through-type heartbeat taillights perfectly echo the design of the front face, and at the same time, it can also achieve interesting interaction in a variety of scenes, which is full of fun.
Compared with Weilai ET7, the appearance of Mercedes-Benz EQE is slightly rounded, it uses a large number of curves, outlining a full and dynamic front face, "dark night star array" closed front grille, with a huge Mercedes-Benz three-pronged mark, looks very atmospheric, 2.6 million pixels of intelligent digital headlights on both sides, can show a meteor shower lighting effect after lighting, full of science and technology.
From the side, the Mercedes-Benz EQE's dynamic body lines, supplemented by coordinated body proportions, create an elegant and dynamic bow body, with large five-spoke wheels and hidden door handles, which not only brings strong visual tension, but also reduces its body drag coefficient to 022cd, but compared to the 0. of the NIO ET7With a drag coefficient of 208cd, it seems that the aerodynamic performance of the Mercedes-Benz EQE is still slightly lacking. In terms of size, the length, width and height of the Mercedes-Benz EQE are 4969 1906 1514 mm, and the wheelbase is 3120mm, which is longer than the NIO ET7, but the longitudinal and horizontal dimensions are not as good as the NIO ET7, so in terms of vision, the Mercedes-Benz EQE is slightly stingy.
In terms of the tail, the Mercedes-Benz EQE adopts a through-type 3D spiral taillight, with a large slip-back design and a duckbill small tail wing, the tail is simple and elegant, and the recognition after lighting is also very high.
In terms of interior, the NIO ET7 adopts a wrap-around cockpit design, realizing the harmony and unity of future technology and simple and avant-garde style, with intelligent and interesting NOMI as the core, with the blessing of Banyan Banyan intelligent car machine system and NOMI on-board artificial intelligence system, 128-inch central control screen, 102-inch full LCD instrument, rear 6The 6-inch multi-function control screen and AR-HUD can realize multi-screen interaction, and the intelligent experience is very good. With the blessing of Qualcomm 8155 chip, it also makes its system silky and not stuck. The hidden intelligent air outlet with the waterfall atmosphere light also presents a good sense of refinement. As many as 14 places in the cabin are also made of renewable rattan wood from the tropical rainforest, with a unique texture and delicate touch, coupled with simple and comfortable seats, wrap-around armrests, flying headrests and Microfiber microfiber headliners, a sense of luxury arises, and the NIO ET7 is also equipped with a 71.A 4-channel Dolby Atmos sound system provides users with an immersive listening experience.
The central control of the Mercedes-Benz EQE adopts a T-shaped layout, 123 inch LCD gauge +12The 8-inch central control screen is collocated, making the cockpit full of science and technology, and it also has a built-in MBUX on-board intelligent system, which does not need to scroll the screen and turn pages. However, from the perspective of the usage habits of Chinese people, the human-computer interaction of NIO ET7 is more humane. Of course, when it comes to Mercedes-Benz, we have to mention the atmosphere lights, its Mercedes-Benz EQE star emblem trim with backlight, supplemented by turbine-shaped air conditioning outlets, and with active ambient lighting, it can make the cockpit of Mercedes-Benz EQE quite attractive, but it always feels a little too hard, the nightclub style is too strong, and the luxury presented is slightly cheap.
In terms of power, all NIO ET7 models have a front and rear dual-motor four-wheel drive layout, with a total system power of 480kW, which can burst out up to 850N·m of total system torque, and the 000 acceleration is only 38 seconds, the power performance is comparable to a million sports cars, in terms of battery life, NIO ET7 has two endurance versions, its pure electric range under CLTC working conditions are 530km, 675km respectively, relying on NIO's new generation of high-efficiency electric drive platform, not only its energy consumption and performance have been greatly improved, but also make NIO ET7 fast charging power up to 500kW, which is also one of the best in the same class, in addition to fast charging, NIO ET7 supports battery swapping, and the energy replenishment efficiency is comparable to refueling.
In terms of chassis handling, NIO ET7 adopts a front five-link independent suspension, a rear multi-link independent suspension, and an air suspension + CDC dynamic suspension damping control system, which not only has higher control limit performance, but also provides an extremely stable dynamic experience of "no bumps at low speeds, more stable at high speeds", plus NIO ET7 also has 9 driving modes, which can bring a more diverse driving experience.
In terms of intelligent driving, NIO ET7 is equipped with NIO Aquila Super Sensing system, which is composed of 33 high-performance perception hardware such as ultra-long-distance high-precision lidar and 8 million pixel high-definition cameras. Closed high-speed roads, pilot parking, intelligent summoning, and global pilot assistance functions including high-speed, urban expressway, urban road, and high-speed service area pilot battery swap are realized, and the intelligent driving level has reached the top in the industry.
Mercedes-Benz EQE is based on the Mercedes-Benz EVA pure electric platform, the whole system adopts rear drive force, the total system power is 215kW, the total system torque is 556N·m, and the acceleration from zero to 100 is 67 seconds, from the point of view of parameters, Mercedes-Benz EQE is completely crushed by Weilai ET7, in terms of battery life, Mercedes-Benz EQE also provides two endurance versions, CLTC pure electric range is 752km and 717km respectively, but Mercedes-Benz EQE is only equipped with 400V architecture, so the fast charging power is only 128kW, and it does not support battery swapping, so in terms of energy replenishment efficiency, Weilai ET7 still has certain advantages.
In terms of chassis handling, Mercedes-Benz EQE adopts the front double wishbone independent suspension and the rear multi-link independent suspension, from the structural point of view, the grip performance and anti-roll performance of the double wishbone independent suspension are better than those of the five links, but due to the complexity of its positioning parameter settings, the technical requirements for maintenance personnel are also higher.
In terms of intelligent driving, Mercedes-Benz EQE is equipped with L2 level intelligent assisted driving functions, but in terms of functional richness, it is far less than Weilai ET7, and it is not equipped with lidar, so it can only achieve some conventional intelligent driving functions, and the intelligent driving experience is completely behind that of Weilai ET7.
In terms of configuration, we selected the middle configuration of the two models as a comparison model, which is priced at 4860,000 for the 2023 NIO ET7 100kWh and priced at 4960,000 for the 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQE 350 Deluxe.
The advantages of NIO ET7 are: reversing side warning, active DMS fatigue detection, traffic light recognition, front vehicle departure reminder, automatic ramp exit (entry), sentry mode, vehicle summoning function, facial recognition, ** airbags, active closing grille, CDC variable suspension adjustment, air suspension, mobile phone Bluetooth key, NFC RFID key, UWB digital key, AR-HUD, original ETC, electric suction door, inductive rear tailgate, Electric rear tailgate position memory, front and rear side window double-layer soundproof glass, rear privacy glass, front seat ventilation massage, second-row seat lumbar adjustment, heating and ventilation massage, heat pump air conditioning, three-zone air conditioning, lidar, V2X communication, car fragrance, etc.
The Mercedes-Benz EQE has advantages such as knee airbags in the main driver's seat, passive pedestrian protection, variable steering ratio, leather steering wheel, boss button, 40:60 ratio reclining of rear seats, CarPlay, fingerprint recognition, and HEPA filter.
From the perspective of configuration comparison, Weilai ET7 is better than Mercedes-Benz EQE in terms of comfort, chassis suspension, intelligent driving, intelligent configuration, etc., and Weilai ET7 is also 10,000 yuan lower than the price of Mercedes-Benz EQE, therefore, who is more luxurious and who is more cost-effective, it is clear at a glance.
Uncle Che concluded. In a comprehensive comparison, we can find that the luxury presented by the NIO ET7 is definitely in the crushing advantage, although the Mercedes-Benz EQE has an advantage in terms of battery life, but the shortcomings of the energy replenishment efficiency are also very obvious, and the performance in intelligent driving is far from reaching the level that it should have as a traditional luxury brand, even if it has the blessing of the Mercedes-Benz brand halo, it is difficult to cover up the pseudo-luxury of the Mercedes-Benz EQE, therefore, from all dimensions, compared with the Mercedes-Benz EQE, the NIO ET7 is definitely the best quality, It is also the most worthwhile luxury car to buy.
