Bitauto original After the Feifan R7, another Feifan model has been officially unveiled. It is Feifan's first medium and large sedan - Feifan F7. There is actually a lot to praise about this car, such as the drag coefficient of 0.206Cd and the 0-100km/h acceleration time of 3.7 seconds. However, whether this car can succeed in the market depends on its comprehensive capabilities, and the comprehensive capabilities of a car are not just the appearance, interior, and vehicle configuration. For this reason, we chose its direct competitor, Ji Krypton 001, to compare them in terms of price, performance/battery life, hardware configuration and energy replenishment system to see if this Feifan F7 can compete in gain a place in the market.

Static review

However, the Feifan F7 is a brand-new model after all, so we will first review its static performance. The appearance of Feifan F7 draws inspiration from the AURA concept car, and the overall design feel is very close to Feifan R7. The biggest difference is the elimination of the through-type LED light strip in the front. Moreover, Feifan F7 also uses a split headlight design, but the daytime running lights are slimmer. In addition, the "R" logo directly in front of the car also has a light-emitting function, which can effectively improve the visibility at night.

The side body lines of Feifan F7 can be said to be quite smooth, and the roof line also adopts a slip-back design. In addition to being beautiful, this design can reduce the wind resistance coefficient to the greatest extent. This is indeed the case, Feifan F7 The F7's drag coefficient is 0.206Cd, which is among the top levels among mass-produced cars. Moreover, Feifan F7 also adopts the design of hidden door handles and frameless doors. All four doors have double-layer laminated glass and electric suction doors. However, it is not yet known whether the electric suction doors will Standard for all series. In terms of body size, Feifan F7 has a length, width and height of 5000x1953x1494mm and a wheelbase of 3000mm, which is considered to be the standard size of a medium and large sedan. This body size is smaller than the Zhiji L7 and Weilai ET7, and is different from its direct competitors. Compared with Krypton 001, it is in the middle.

As for the shape of the rear of the car, it is relatively unique. Feifan F7 introduces the design concept of a floating island at the rear of the vehicle. The through-type taillights are embedded in the rear in the form of a relief, which looks very three-dimensional. What's more impressive is that the Feifan F7 adopts a hatchback tailgate design, which can effectively increase the opening angle of the trunk.

Entering the car, the cockpit design of Feifan F7 is almost the same as that of R7. The familiar 43-inch integrated triple screen makes the Feifan F7's cabin full of technology, and most parts of the instrument panel and door panels are wrapped in leather, giving it a relatively strong sense of class. F7 adopts a more traditional3-spoke steering wheel, scroll wheel operation is more direct than touch control. In addition, two sets of commonly used mechanical buttons are added to both sides of the steering wheel, and the minimalist design is no longer pursued.

The 43-inch integrated triple screen consists of a 10.25-inch LCD instrument, a 15.05-inch AMOLED central control screen and a 12.3-inch passenger screen, and is packaged with an integrated glass panel. The car is equipped with Feifan's RISING OS smart cabin interactive system, which is embedded with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, which ensures smooth use. In addition, in the rear row, F7 is also equipped with an 8-inch LCD screen. The content of the screen is mainly audio-visual entertainment, and it can also adjust the rear independent air conditioning, seat position, etc.

Feifan F7 provides two power layouts: single motor and dual motor. The single motor model is a rear-wheel drive model. The motor has a maximum power of 250kW and a maximum torque of 400N·m. Its 0-100km/ The acceleration time of h is 5.7s. The dual-motor model is a four-wheel drive model with a total motor power of 400kW and a total torque of 700N·m. It can accelerate from 0-100km/h in 3.7 seconds. As for battery capacity, Feifan F7 also has two configurations, 77kWh and 90kWh respectively. It is equipped with a 90kWh single motor model CLTC with a maximum cruising range of 666km.

The price has certain advantages

After briefly reviewing the static performance of the Feifan F7, we can see that this car is indeed a sincere work of the Feifan brand. Next, let’s take a look at the Feifan F7 from several other dimensions. It has the strength to compete with Ji Krypton 001. The first thing I want to talk about is price. No matter what kind of car it is, price is always one of the most sensitive factors for consumers when buying a car. Feifan F7 has not been officially launched yet, but a pre-sale price of 280,000-350,000 yuan has been announced. The price is expected to drop after it is officially launched. As for Jikrypton 001, the current price is 300,000-403,000 yuan. However, since the Jikrypton 001 equipped with a 140kWh Kirin battery priced at 403,000 yuan cannot be delivered for the time being, the price range of the Jikrypton 001 models on sale should be 30 -386,000 yuan. From a price point of view, Feifan F7 has certain advantages. If the configuration levels are not much different, the price difference of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan is enough to affect consumers' final choice.

In addition, Feifan F7 has an advantage that JiKr 001 does not have, and that is battery replacement, which is the car-battery separation policy. Referring to the Feifan R7's car-battery separation price, if it is a 77kWh battery, the car price can be reduced by 84,000 yuan immediately, and a monthly battery rental fee of 1,260 yuan needs to be paid. As for the 90kWh battery, the car price is immediately reduced by 100,000 yuan, and the monthly leasing fee is 1,560 yuan. In other words, if the vehicle and electricity separation policy is adopted, Feifan F7’sThe price may fall below 200,000 yuan, which will make the F7's cost-effectiveness more outstanding. A pure electric mid-to-large sedan with a price of less than 200,000 yuan is believed to have a certain appeal to consumers. Moreover, choosing the car-battery separation policy means that you can also enjoy the rights of battery swapping, and there will be an additional means of energy replenishment.

The performance of F7 is stronger and the battery life of 001 is more advantageous

I think in addition to price, what everyone is most concerned about about electric vehicles must be their acceleration and battery life. These two items are often the most intuitive impression consumers have on electric vehicles. Let’s take a look at the Feifan F7 first. The single-motor model has a maximum power of 250kW, a maximum torque of 400N·m, and an acceleration time of 0-100km/h of 5.7s; a dual-motor model has a total power of 400kW, a total torque of 700N·m, and a 0-100km acceleration time. /h acceleration time is 3.7s. Looking at Jikrypton 001 again, the single-motor model has a maximum power of 200kW, a maximum torque of 343N·m, and an acceleration time of 0-100km/h of 6.9 seconds; a dual-motor model has a total power of 400kW, a total torque of 686N·m, and a 0-100km/h acceleration time. The acceleration time is 3.8s. Judging from the most basic power parameters, among the more popular single-motor models, the performance of the Feifan F7 is ahead of that of the Jikrypton 001. The acceleration time from 0 to 100km/h is more than 1 second faster than that of the Jikrypton 001. The single-motor model is somewhat lacking in acceleration performance. As for dual-motor models, there is not much difference between the two models in terms of power parameters and acceleration results, and can be regarded as being of the same level.

In addition to acceleration, battery life is also very important to everyone. Since we still don’t know the specific configuration of Feifan F7, according to the currently known information, the Feifan F7 dual-motor model equipped with a 90kWh battery can have a CLTC comprehensive cruising range of 600km, while the single-motor model equipped with a 90kWh battery can have a CLTC range of 666km. CLTC comprehensive cruising range. As for the cruising range of the single-motor model equipped with 77kWh, we still don’t know. Looking at Jikrypton 001 again, the WE version model (dual motors) equipped with an 86kWh battery has a CLTC comprehensive cruising range of 546km, while the WE version model (single motor) equipped with a 100kWh battery has a CLTC comprehensive cruising range of 741km. As for the ME version and YOU version, both are dual-motor models and are equipped with 100kWh batteries. The CLTC comprehensive cruising range is 656km.

Comprehensive analysis of the battery life of these two models, we will temporarily call the smaller capacity battery of the two models the standard battery life, while the larger capacity battery is called the long battery life. It can be seen that the capacity of Feifan F7, whether it is a standard battery or a long-life battery, is smaller than that of the corresponding Jikrypton 001 battery. The currently known CLTC comprehensive cruising range of Feifan F7 is between 600-666km, but the lower limit of the cruising range of this car should be that of a single-motor vehicleThe model is equipped with a 77kWh battery. Referring to the endurance of Feifan R7, the CLTC's comprehensive cruising range should be around 550km. Although the standard endurance battery of Jikrypton 001 has a larger capacity, it uses a dual-motor configuration, which also reduces the endurance mileage significantly to 546km. However, there is not much difference between the two models in terms of the lower limit of endurance.

As for the upper limit of battery life, Jikrypton 001 has the advantage. Since the long-range battery capacity of Jikrypton 001 is 100kWh, which is larger than the 90kWh of Feifan F7, and both models are also single-motor configurations, the CLTC cruising range of Jikrypton 001 can reach 741km, compared with 666km of Feifan F7 It's going to grow a lot. After the delivery of the 140kWh battery version of Ji Krypton 001 in the future, the advantage of battery life is expected to continue to expand, and of course the price of the vehicle will also rise accordingly.

F7 hardware configuration is stronger and 001 is more average

After talking about performance and battery life, let’s take a look at the vehicle’s smart hardware configuration. What we are talking about here is intelligent hardware configuration, not traditional in-car configuration. After all, in the field of electric vehicles, traditional in-car configuration is mostly a matter of program. Even if it is not available when buying a car, it can be obtained through subsequent OTA upgrades. Intelligent hardware is not available when you buy a car, and most likely cannot be installed later. Even if it can be installed, it will be troublesome. Feifan F7 has a total of 32 intelligent hardware, including 1 lidar, 1 4D imaging radar, 12 cameras, 1 high-precision positioning system, 1 driver detection system, and 4 enhanced long-range point cloud angles Radar and 12 ultrasonic radars, and supporting these hardware will be two NVIDIA Orin chips, with a total computing power of 508TOPS. Although the specific configuration of the Feifan F7 has not yet been announced, according to the analysis of the R7's configuration, all the above hardware should be available only in the top model. As for the hardware level of other models, we still have to wait for the specific configuration to be announced. Of course, hardware is not enough, you also need software support. Feifan’s RISING PILOT fully integrated high-end intelligent driving system can realize high-end driving assistance functions, and in the pre-sale stage, you can own this set worth 30,000 for free as long as you place an order. Yuan system.

As for Ji Krypton 001, it has 1 ultra-long-range millimeter wave radar, 12 ultrasonic radars and 15 cameras, a total of 28 intelligent hardware, and two Mobileye EyeQ5H chips, with a total computing power of 48TOPS. However, these hardware of Jikrypton 001 are standard for the whole series, unlike Feifan F7, only the top model has all the smart hardware. As for the assisted driving system, ZEEKR 001 is divided into two types, namely the ZEEKR AD enhanced intelligent driving assistance system worth 16,000 yuan and the ZEEKR AD fully intelligent driving assistance system worth 35,000 yuan. Only ZEEKR AD is fully intelligent.Only the driving assistance system can realize the high-speed NOA function. From the current point of view, the top model of Feifan F7 should have certain hardware advantages over Jikrypton 001, while the hardware level of other models should be between equal. Although only the top model is quite generous, I still think we should choose a model with higher hardware level. Only sufficient hardware can support higher-level driving assistance functions in the future. After all, a car is not like a mobile phone that can be replaced every year or two, so it is better to be well prepared.

The number of charging stations is far ahead of the rest

The next step is the last point, which is the energy replenishment system that we may most likely ignore. To be honest, the most reliable and trouble-free charging method at present is still home charging. You don’t have to worry about someone occupying your seat. The battery will be full when you go out the next day. This not only saves time and cost, but also maximizes the advantage of low cost of using the electric car. But after all, not everyone can install home charging piles, and public charging piles take up a lot of space and their quality is not stable. Therefore, the energy supplement system of each brand can also determine our choice of car purchase to a certain extent.

First, let’s take a look at Feifan’s energy replenishment system. It has both charging stations and battery replacement stations. Feifan, which walks on two legs, is already one step ahead of other brands. Of course, if you want to replace batteries, you can only choose a car. The electricity is separated. Feifan’s current number of battery swapping stations has not been announced on the official website. Even on the charging map of Feifan App, the number of battery swapping stations cannot be found. Perhaps only Feifan car owners who have truly chosen to separate the car and battery can check it. , but there is news that Feifanmu The number of power swapping stations in Shanghai is still in single digits. I don’t know whether the goal of building 40 power swapping stations by 2022 mentioned last year has been achieved. As for reaching the scale of 3,000 comprehensive energy service stations in 2025, it is even more difficult. It's a long way to go. As for the number of charging stations, according to the current data provided by the official website, there are only 114 truly self-built charging stations, and the rest are accessed by third parties. Although Feifan has more energy-supplementing forms than other brands, the quantity is really small.

As for Jikrypton’s self-operated charging stations, they are divided into three types: extreme charging stations, super charging stations and light charging stations. The charging speeds are also different. From the naming, it should be obvious that the charging stations are fast and slow. According to the latest data, the number of self-operated charging stations of Jikrypton has exceeded 600. In addition to self-operated charging stations, Jikrypton also has valet charging and mobile charging vehicle services. It can be said that in terms of self-operated energy replenishment system, Ji Krypton is far ahead of Feifan. Of course, this is also related to the fact that Feifan R7 sales are average and building more self-operated charging/swapping stations is not worth the gain. However, perhaps sales performance and the energy replenishment system are complementary to each other. The richer the energy replenishment system and the more self-operated charging stations, the more consumers will feel more secure and choose models of that brand.

Editor’s summary: Through the analysis of these aspects, we can actually see that Feifan F7 still hasThe basis for achieving certain results. First of all, there is no doubt about the price advantage, but how to solve the problem of not being able to replace the battery after buying it out is a top priority. As for performance, battery life and hardware level, Feifan F7 can be regarded as the mainstream level in the industry. If the hardware configuration can be more average, it may be more favored by consumers. As for the energy replenishment system, this is where Feifan needs to catch up. It has the advantage of being able to charge and exchange energy, but does not have enough support from charging/exchanging power stations, which is indeed a bit of a waste. In any case, Feifan F7 definitely has the strength to compete in this market. Let us take a look at its performance after it is officially launched.
