In August 2018, SAIC Roewe launched a pure electric car called "MARVEL X".
The reason why I was so impressed by this is that not long after the car was launched, a parking lot downstairs of the company I was in at that time, and I could see it almost every day for a period of time since then.
MARVEL X seems to be Roiwei and even the entire SAIC Group . For the first attempt of high-end pure electric vehicles, its price is not cheap, with a minimum configuration of 268,800 yuan and a maximum configuration of 460,000 yuan.
Two years later, in 2020, SAIC Group launched a brand new new energy vehicle brand - Feifan Auto . As the saying goes, "It's great to enjoy the cool air with a big tree on your back." Feifan Auto's first two models have received strong support from SAIC Group, so they have strong traces from Roewe.
and even the SUV model is called "Fefan MARVEL R", which is hard to think of Roewe's "MARVEL X".
After two years of tempering, Feifan Auto's third model - Feifan R7, has been officially launched recently. It has no trace of Roewe on its body and has begun to become independent.
Fefan R7's front face is a typical pure electric vehicle design nowadays. Some models (not available in low-end configuration) use through-type headlights. Because the closed grille is a little monotonous, the area of the traditional fog lamp grille is retained on both sides, and a string of vertical LED lights are arranged. At the same time, the roof of some models (not available in low-end configurations) also has a bulge, which is used to arrange the lidar .
It is not difficult to see from the above picture that Feifan R7 is a coupe-style SUV with a sloping back shape at the rear. The doors are frameless and equipped with hidden door handles.
As a medium and large SUV, the length, width and height of Feifan R7 are 4900/1925/1655mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2950mm. Since all models adopt a 5-seat layout, you don’t have to worry about whether the sloping back design will cause the rear space to be cramped.
The two cars that Feifan has previously launched have the most similar appearance to Roewe, which is the taillights. I won’t put pictures here. Interested friends can check and compare them by themselves. The taillights of Feifan R7 obviously have no trace of Roewe. You can't even imagine any model on the market. It has a brand new design, and the through-type taillights and luminous logos make it highly recognizable at night.
Feifan R7 taillights are also designed below both sides of the vent, which echoes the front face and enhances the sporty feeling of the whole vehicle to a certain extent. Although there is no exhaust outlet on the lower surround, a spoiler-like shape is designed in the middle, and the entire tail does not look monotonous.
Cars, like people, can draw many aspects, and for new energy vehicles, intelligence is undoubtedly a very important aspect. The most attractive thing to Feifan R7 interior is undoubtedly the "RISING MAX3+1 giant screen", which is simply a few screens.
Feifan R7 instrument, central control screen, and co-pilot entertainment screen adopt the "triple screen" design, with dimensions of 10.25, 15.05, and 12.3 inches respectively, and is equipped with the world's first mass-produced Huawei Vision Enhanced AR-HUD Head-up System, that is, the head-up display system, with a sense of technology and a smooth operation and excellent experience with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip. In terms of interior materials and comfort configuration, Feifan R7's performance is also remarkable, with a strong sense of luxury. The top-end model has a leg support, and other models can also be equipped with this configuration.
top-end models front seats are equipped with seat heating, ventilation, massage, and memory functions. Other models are equipped with front seat heating, driving position memory functions. These configurations can also be selected for other models. Pure electric models with a price of more than 200,000 yuan generally have dual-motor versions, and Feifan R7 is no exception. Its dual-motor version has a total power of 400 kilowatts (about 544 horsepower), a total torque of 700 Nm, and the official acceleration time of 100 kilometers is 3.8 seconds.
The single motor version actually does not have a front motor. The maximum power of the rear motor is 250 kilowatts, the maximum torque of is 2450 Nm, and the official 100-kilometer acceleration test drive is 5.8 seconds. For a single motor SUV, this data is also quite outstanding.
, except for the lowest-equipped models, all equipped with a 90-kilowatt-hour battery pack, the dual-motor version CLTC range is 606 kilometers, the single-motor version is 551 kilometers (77-kilowatt-hour battery), and the single-motor version is 642 kilometers.
This model has a special point. It has a standard battery swap architecture for all series. Like NIO and other models, it supports battery swap. When purchasing a vehicle, you can choose to purchase the entire vehicle or rent the battery. The price after subsidy of
Feifan R7 starts from 289,900 yuan. If you choose the car-electrical separation mode to buy a car, the price after subsidy starts from 205,900 yuan. In addition, you can pay the monthly battery rent. The battery rent must be 1,560 yuan (90 kWh battery) or 1,260 yuan (77 kWh) per month. The advantages of
, such a battery rental form, are also very obvious.
First of all, the battery swap speed is much higher than the current charging speed, which can solve charging anxiety to a certain extent (provided that battery swap stations are highly popular).
Secondly, the anxiety about battery quality itself can also be greatly reduced, because the battery itself is very expensive, and many car owners will worry that they will have to pay a large fee after battery failure
Finally, for car owners, the pressure of buying a car will be relatively lower. Taking the Feifan R7 as an example, the price starts at 289,900 yuan with the traditional car purchase model, while the price starts at 205,900 yuan with the vehicle-electrical separation model. If we use a 90 kilowatt-hour battery, the price difference of about 80,000 will be tied for more than 4 years. Whether you want to stop spending more money on renting a battery in 4 years, or want to reduce battery concerns, it depends on how the car owners make their own choices.
For a purely electric mid-to-large SUV, the price of Feifan R7 is still quite competitive compared to its performance in all aspects.
