350,000 yuan peak showdown, choose NIO ET5 or Krypton 001 - Car news

Bitauto Original 350,000 yuan can buy many traditional fuel vehicles, as well as BBA's main B-class vehicles, but the extremely eye-catching book parameters of new power electric vehicles have attracted many consumers at this price range. As the two cars with the most attention at this price point, how to choose between Weilai ET5 and Jikrypton 001 has always been a dilemma for many consumers. Many of our colleagues have already test-drove JKr001, and I decided on today’s topic after experiencing the NIO ET5 last week. Okay, without further ado, let’s get straight to the main meal.

The article begins with a brief explanation of the price of 350,000 yuan. In fact, judging from the sales ratio of each version of the two cars, the Jikrypton 001 ME version is currently the most cost-effective version, with a price of 349,900 yuan. It has a large battery and dual motors, and removes many electric doors and air suspension that consumers do not need, so this version accounts for a lot. As for the Weilai ET5, because of its battery swapping system, most car owners only choose the small battery version. With some optional equipment, the price is over 350,000, so of course, the two cars have become quite close rivals.

Appearance comparison: the charm of a hunting car VS the elegance of a coupe

Both cars actually have attractive features in design. Since the appearance is relatively subjective, we will not decide the winner. I'm not sure whether consumers who like the sedan style can get the beauty of Ji Krypton 001, but as a car editor, the overall design of Ji Krypton 001's hunting suit shape is actually quite harmonious.

First of all, in the front part of the car, Ji Krypton 001 continues many designs of the concept car. The split headlights + powerful muscular lines are the iconic design of Ji Krypton 001. Unlike many new energy models, Ji Krypton 001 There is no "de-grilling" in the design, which can be accepted by more consumers.

The top version of Ji Krypton 001 is equipped with air suspension. If it is lowered to the lowest position, the posture is very good. However, the ME version we selected for comparison this time does not have this configuration, but the whole vehicle still has a good sense of sportiness. But what needs to be made clear here is that the size of this car determines that it is not a product that pursues ultimate performance, but is positioned as both sporty and luxurious.

So although Ji Krypton 001 has an obvious sporty stance, in terms of the surround processing and front details, Ji Krypton 001 is not exaggerated, and it does not have a clear and angular design like Lamborghini or a smooth curved surface like Ferrari. The front part of the car gives people the impression of being wide and imposing while taking into account the personality of the Lynk & Co brand.

NIO ET5 adopts the family-style design of the second-generation NT platform. It retains the classic design elements of X-Bar and has simpler front and rear lines. Although the design style is consistent with ET7, due to its more personalized and sporty positioning, theCompared with ET7, ET5 offers more diverse body colors and tighter body proportions. Of course, the position of the lidar, the shape of the split light group, and the bulging front surround are all still familiar.

Ji Krypton 001 is positioned as a mid-to-large car, while Weilai ET5 is positioned as a mid-sized sedan. There is also a big difference between the two in terms of body size. The body size of Jikrypton 001 is 4970/1999/1560mm, which is larger than the 4790/1960/1499mm of Weilai ET5. In terms of wheelbase, the wheelbase of Jikrypton 001 is 3005mm, and that of NIO ET5 is 2888mm. However, the space in the rear row of Jikrypton 001 will be much larger.

In terms of side shape, Ji Krypton 001 has a tougher hunting style. The wheel size reaches 21 inches, and 22-inch wheels are optional. The hatchback tailgate has good practicality, and keyless entry is a good choice. Comes standard on both cars. The NIO ET5 adopts a slip-back shape, which is good-looking and has lower wind resistance. The NIO ET5 comes standard with 19-inch wheels, and 20-inch wheels are optional.

However, due to the existence of NIO's battery swapping system, the battery pack of NIO ET5 will be thicker than that of ordinary electric vehicles, which also results in the height of its body being unable to be lowered - there is a saying in the automotive industry called The low profile covers all the ugliness, so the biggest criticism of the NIO ET5’s styling is that it is a little taller.

In terms of rear design, both Jikrypton 001 and Weilai ET5 are highly recognizable, and I personally think the rears of both cars look very good. The highlight of the tail of ZEEKR 001 is the shape of the taillight group and the ZEEKR brand logo embedded in the taillight. An aerodynamic spoiler and a camera for assisting driving are designed above. The taillight is not completely smoked. The black processing makes it more recognizable.

The rear part of the NIO ET5 is extremely simple, with the overall lines of the rear window converging inward, trying to maintain a smooth curve at the rear to further reduce wind resistance. On the one hand, the "duck tail" design can stretch the airflow at the rear of the car, and also make the new car look more like a sports car. Tail light group penetratesThere is no unnecessary design in the entire rear of the car. Which design of these two cars do you like better?

Interior Comparison: Each design has its own characteristics, and Jikrypton 001 has a better experience

As for the interior, the two cars also explain their respective understandings of the interior of vehicles in this price range.

The first impression given by the interior of Ji Krypton 001 is that it is large. The T-shaped center console design and a large number of horizontal and vertical lines give people a very good sense of space. The frame of the screen is very narrow, and the various materials are not simply spliced together, but are treated with a layered feel. Whether it is suede or laser-etched decorative panels, they can greatly enhance the sense of class in the car. This car's The interior is not designed to reflect the attributes of a hunting suit, but rather the style of a very typical luxury mid-to-large sedan.

NIO ET5 is different. The wrap-around interior cockpit is available in six colors. A large number of environmentally friendly materials and skin-like materials give an innovative feel to the touch. The layout is similar to that of ET7, but the space inside the car will be more compact. I personally like the design of the ambient lights very much. It is restrained and can create an excellent atmosphere at the same time. Although the overall appearance is not much different from the T-shaped design of Ji Krypton 001, the angle of the central control screen is more inclined, and the center console is also clearly layered.

There is not much difference between the two cars in terms of configuration. Both cars are equipped with seat ventilation, heating, panoramic sunroof, 8155 car chip, etc. The NAPPA leather material of Jikrypton 001 does not require extra money, while the Weilai ET5 Upgrading interior materials requires a certain amount of money. However, the standard driving assistance system of Weilai ET5 will be more powerful, while Jikrypton 001 is still waiting for the OTA upgrade stage.

In terms of space, the headroom in the rear of the 001QIANPA is also relatively average, but the legroom is clearly superior. After all, the wheelbase is 3005mm. However, the space advantage of Jikrypton 001 compared to Weilai ET5 is reflected in the adjustable backrest of the rear row, and the height of the front seat is also lowered more, so the space experience is better.

I have carefully experienced the interiors of both cars. I personally have a better subjective experience with the Ji Krypton 001. The workmanship is more refined and there will be more storage space. Of course, the visual look and feel of NIO ET5 will actually appear more advanced, but there are two common problems in my personal experience.

1. Due to the thickness of the battery and the line of the front of the car, the sitting posture of the NIO ET5 will be higher, and the seat height will not be adjusted to the lowest level. This will be a bit uncomfortable for taller drivers.

2. The rearview mirror module is large, and due to the sitting posture, the rear and front view will be blocked to a certain extent.

Both of these points require you to test drive yourself before you can feel whether you mind or not.

Power system comparison: Power and control are all in the first echelon

NewIn the era of energy vehicles, motors have given everyone more accessible power, allowing more ordinary people to enjoy the beauty of the 3-second club. But aside from simple and direct acceleration, how does it feel to drive the two cars?

First of all, let’s talk about the power parameters. The two cars we chose today are both dual-motor versions, and obviously they also have four-wheel drive function. The front and rear motors of Ji Krypton 001 are permanent magnet synchronous motors, and the power parameters have reached 400kW/768N·m. The front motor of Weilai ET5 is an induction asynchronous motor with a power parameter of 150kW/280N·m, and the rear motor is a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a parameter of 210kW/420N·m. The total power is 360kW and the total torque is 700N·m.

Judging from the parameters, Jikrypton 001 will be stronger, but the vehicle is larger and heavier, so the acceleration capabilities of the two are basically the same - Jikrypton’s official 0-100km/h acceleration time is 3.8 seconds, and NIO ET5 It is 4s, and the latter is a half-load test with two people, so the acceleration ability is indeed between the two. In fact, we actually measured the time for NIO ET5 to break 100km/h in 3.8 seconds. The value acceleration exceeded 0.8G, and the vehicle speed began to gradually decay after exceeding 70km/h.

However, judging from the types and parameters of the front and rear motors, the driving experience of Ji Krypton will be more like that of a four-wheel drive model, while the NIO ET5 is more rear-wheel drive. In addition, the driving styles of the two cars on daily urban roads are actually completely different. Compared with the Jikrypton 001, the Weilai ET5 is more compact in body size and wheelbase, and the first impression when driving is that it is more agile. It is much more flexible to quickly change lanes and make U-turns than Ji Krypton 001. In addition, the steering part is also more direct. I only need to move the front of the steering wheel slightly to give me feedback. This setting is very consistent with its own positioning.

The flexibility and steering feel of Ji Krypton 001 are actually not as good as those of NIO ET5, but the suspension comfort and high-end feel will be better. It is not as hard to face manhole covers and potholes as NIO ET5. Passenger comfort will be better. The Jikrypton 001 feels very big when driving. Although the body width is not much different, the longer body, nearly 2 meters in width and slightly soft suspension make this car not suitable for passing through traffic. , more suitable for stable cruising on elevated roads.

As for the battery, Ji Krypton 001 is equipped with a 100kWh ternary lithium battery from CATL. The ME version has a CLTC range of 616km, while the NIO ET5 is equipped with the ternary lithium+ battery jointly developed by NIO and CATL. Lithium iron phosphate 75kWh battery, CLTC battery life is 560km.

From the perspective of battery life performance, Jikrypton 001 definitely has advantages, but the advantages are not very obvious under the NIO ET5 battery replacement system. Because of NIO’s special battery swapping system, the battery is actually the key to deciding how to purchase the two cars. Because if Weilai ET5 is replacedFor electricity, it is actually very likely to be replaced with an older 70kWh battery pack. Coupled with various factors such as winter, high speed, reserved power, etc., its usable battery life will be around 300-400km, which is most suitable for short- and medium-distance travel.

Weilai ET5 does not have slow charging, which limits many consumers, while Jikrypton 001 is still a regular flagship: the available battery life will be about 100km longer, and it supports fast charging, slow charging, and 220V cradle charging. If there are enough power swap stations, the experience of NIO ET5 will actually be better. Therefore, the NIO experience will be better in first-tier cities with dense battery swap stations. And if you have a fixed parking space, Jikrypton 001 will be better than conventional fuel vehicles. Save money and experience better.

Full text summary: In fact, after overall calculation, although the price of these two cars is similar, the two cars are actually completely different in terms of product attributes. If you have household needs, then Jikrypton 001 is more suitable. After all, its The space, sound insulation, and workmanship will be better than that of the NIO ET5, especially the performance of the rear row. And if your charging conditions are not very good and you don’t have a lot of space requirements, then NIO ET5 will be more enjoyable and convenient to drive. Of course, there are many reasons for these two cars to impress you, such as the safari style of Jikrypton 001, NIO’s lidar and driving assistance systems, Jikrypton’s camping experience, or the social features of NIO ET5. Group atmosphere. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with which one you buy. After all, the sales volume of these two cars at this price range are relatively good. As long as you understand your needs clearly before buying.

According to the "Bitauto App Pure Electric Vehicle Popularity List" data, the average daily attention of Jikrypton 001 is 27,000, and the average daily attention of NIO ET5 is 13,100. If you need more data, please log in to the Bitauto App to view .
