As the first sedan product among Huawei's smart cars, the Zhijie S7 ( pictures | configurations | inquiry ) does look younger and sportier than other SUV models in terms of body shape. Not only that, the starting price of 249,800 yuan and the advantage of the 800V high-voltage platform as standard for the entire series can further enhance the competitiveness of the Zhijie S7 product. So, let's take a closer look at what the Zhijie S7 is like.
First of all, from the perspective of battery life and energy replenishment efficiency, the Zhijie S7 is a model with a full-domain 800V platform architecture, so even the entry-level version has the advantages of the 800V platform, and the 82kWh battery pack can provide a pure electric range of 705 kilometers. In addition, for the ultra-long-range version equipped with a 100kWh battery pack, the pure electric range of the car has reached 855 kilometers. Not only that, in the case of charging and replenishing energy, the Zhijie S7 can replenish the battery power to 80% in as little as 15 minutes. It is also worth mentioning that in the current highly competitive market environment, the external discharge function of the vehicle has also become a competitive project, so you can see that the external discharge provided by the Zhijie S7 supports a maximum discharge power of 6kW, thereby improving the convenience of users when camping outdoors.
Secondly, in terms of power, the Zhijie S7 has launched three single-motor versions and two dual-motor versions. The single-motor version of the Zhijie S7 has an output power of 215kW and a 0-100 acceleration time of 5.4 seconds; while for the dual-motor four-wheel drive version, the total motor power of 365kW and the total torque of up to 678N·m enable the car to complete the 0-100 km/h acceleration test in just 3.3 seconds. However, compared with the intelligent driving experience, these so-called power performances will seem a bit "cheap", because in the new energy market environment, strong power performance has become a very cheap product parameter, so for these electric vehicles, the most important thing is the intelligent driving experience.
As for the Zhijie S7, the entire series is equipped with Huawei's ADS assisted driving system, and from the various intelligent driving test videos circulated on the Internet, we can see that Huawei's intelligent driving system can be ranked at the upper level. At the same time, in the actual use process, some of its behaviors will be like those of an experienced driver. It is also worth mentioning that the entry-level model of the Zhijie S7 does not come with a laser radar as standard, so compared with the relatively high-configuration and relatively higher-priced Zhijie S7, the entry-level model has fewer functions. But fortunately, it comes standard with high-end intelligent driving functions such as automatic entry and exit of ramps, remote parking, automatic lane change assistance, and signal light recognition.
From the appearance point of view, the Zhijie S7 is a three-box sedan. Although it adopts a very obvious fastback design, its rear tailgate is not a hatchback design, which I personally think is a pity. As for the design of the front face and rear end, it still inherits some genes of Huawei's smart car, such as its headlight group and taillight group, which can effectively improve the recognition of the front face and rear end of the car. In addition, the wide body structure layout on both sides of the front hood and the rear fenders, the frameless doors and the blackened taillight group also further enhance the youthful and sporty atmosphere of the car.
Finally, in terms of interior layout, the steering wheel of the Zhijie S7 adopts an oval design, which looks like a game racing, and the sturdy design also makes the steering wheel of the car feel full. In addition, the addition of Huawei's Hongmeng OS operating system has further improved the functionality of the interior of the cockpit, and the overall operational fluency is also at the top level in the industry. In addition, in some small details, the Zhijie S7 integrates a Huawei stereo with ambient light in the center of the dashboard. In places with weak light, combined with the ambient light in the car, it will indeed create a good driving environment.
In addition, the co-pilot glove box of the Zhijie S7 also adopts a double-layer design, and from the actual experience, its internal space is not small. At the same time, the glove box located on the top is also more friendly to female users because it can store some small miscellaneous items. Not only that, the makeup mirror of the Zhijie S7 also has "knowledge", for example, it can adjust the color and color temperature of the fill light, which is more friendly to girls who like to put on makeup and look in the mirror.
Editor's Summary
Overall, the Zhijie S7 can create a smart and convenient travel experience for both male and female users, especially in some small details, reflecting Chery's "engineering man" side. So in the end, in the market range of about 250,000 to 300,000, the Zhijie S7 is indeed a relatively distinctive product. But then again, facing models such as the Zeekr 001 and the new "car circle internet celebrity" Xiaomi SU7, the Zhijie S7 will still have certain pressure, so from the current sales level, it cannot be confirmed that it is a success.
