Bitauto original If Feifan still felt a bit strange when we came into contact with it a year ago, then this brand seems to be more familiar to us now. On the streets of Shanghai recently, the Feifan R7 has appeared in people's sights from time to time, and I will stop and take a closer look at it.

On February 5, SAIC Feifan launched another new model after the R7 - Feifan F7. Before that, we had already had the opportunity to experience it in all aspects, so what was it like after experiencing it?

The appearance design of Shifen Family

Since I am already very familiar with the Feifan R7, when I saw the F7 for the first time, I naturally associated it with the Feifan brand. After all, they both borrowed the design of the AURA concept car. inspiration. In fact, if you want to identify the Feifan F7 as the sedan version of the R7, there is nothing wrong with its appearance alone. Feifan F7 currently has a total of 5 body colors, including raw coconut latte, world gray, silver wing purple, Yunshu white, and dragon tongue blue that were unveiled this time.

The overall shape of the Feifan F7's front is almost the same as that of the R7, but the biggest difference is that the vehicle has eliminated the through-type LED light strip on the front. In addition, although both cars use "squinting"-style LED daytime running lights, the F7's shape is more slender, and it also has a "pupil" effect when lit. Located below it is the vehicle's integrated high and low beam light group.

Like the R7, the Feifan F7 is positioned as a medium to large size. Its length, width and height are 5000x1953x1494mm, and the wheelbase is 3000mm. It is smaller than the Zhiji L7 and Weilai ET7, and is basically the same size as the ZEEKR 001. The vehicle adopts a fast-back roof line, while the side waistline is basically the same as that of the R7. The vehicle's wind resistance coefficient reaches 0.206, which is a top level among mass-produced models. In addition, Feifan F7 also adopts the design of hidden door handles and frameless doors. All four doors of the real model have double-layer laminated glass and electric suction configuration.

The rear of the vehicle adopts a relatively independent shape design. The "one"-shaped through-type taillights have a three-dimensional suspended effect, and converge from both sides to the red luminous logo in the middle. The top of the windshield There is also a built-in high-mounted brake light. The vehicle's fog lights are quite interesting. They are designed in the lower middle of the bumper, giving it a bit of a formula racing feel.

The real-shot model is equipped with a set of 20-inch wheels. The 5-spoke design is very sporty, and parts of the wheels are also colored in the same color as the body.The vehicle is originally equipped with Michelin Pilot Sport EV tires, the front and rear tire specifications are 255/40 R20, and the front wheels are also equipped with opposing 4-piston brake calipers provided by Brembo.

The interior is equipped with the same triple screen as the R7

After entering the cockpit of Feifan F7, a familiar feeling hits your face. Since Feifan F7 is equipped with the same 43-inch integrated triple screen as R7, it is very difficult to distinguish it from the details. It is difficult to distinguish between the two models as a whole. These details are mainly reflected in the steering wheel shape, inner door panel design, storage area, etc. In addition, most parts of the instrument panel and door panels are wrapped in leather, which gives a relatively strong sense of class.

The F7's steering wheel adopts a more traditional 3-spoke design, and the wheel-type 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 triple screen consists of a 10.25-inch LCD instrument panel, a 15.05-inch OLED central control screen and a 12.3-inch passenger screen, and is encapsulated by an integrated glass panel. The air-conditioning outlets are still designed on both sides and below the triple screen. In addition, compared to the R7, the air-conditioning outlets below the Feifan F7 also have an air-guiding device added.

The vehicle's engine is Feifan Auto's RISING OS smart cabin interactive system, equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 flagship chip, and the interface slides and switches smoothly. The display effect of the central control screen is very delicate and the colors are relatively bright. The interface layout is in the form of a mainstream card + Dock shortcut bar, which can carry out functions such as navigation, audio-visual entertainment, air conditioning control, vehicle settings, Internet of Vehicles, and OTA remote upgrades. The voice operating system can more accurately distinguish sound sources in different locations, and the logic and fluency of dialogue are also relatively good.

In the central aisle area of ​​the rear row, passengers can enjoy an 8-inch LCD screen. The screen has an embedded design, which gives a stronger overall feel. The content of the screen is mainly focused on audio-visual entertainment, and it can also adjust the rear independent air conditioning, seat position, etc. This is also a small innovation on the Feifan F7.

The Bach seats of Feifan F7 have a relatively good fit. They are made of Nappa perforated leather fabric, and the seat adjustment buttons are set on the door panels. The front seats of the real-life model are equipped with hot stone massage, heating, and ventilation functions, while the rear seats have electric backrest angle adjustment and heating functions. The passenger seat of Feifan F7 is not equipped with leg rests and footrests like the R7, which is a trade-off in some functions.

The experiencer is 175cm tall. After sitting in the front row and adjusting the driving posture, the head room is about 1 fist + 2 fingers. When sitting in the back row, the head room is about 1 fist and the leg room is about 2 fingers. Boxing, overall performance was good.

The storage space of Feifan F7 is remarkable. It provides 1 12V power supply, 1 USB, 1 Type-C and 1 miniSD interface in the front row. In addition, it also has a 12V power supply in the trunk. Power interface. The central passage in the front row adopts a suspended design, and the storage compartment below can store some larger items. The rear seats can be folded down in a 4/6 ratio, but because they cannot be folded flat, the expansion capacity is average.

Different power and battery life options

Currently, SAIC provides Feifan F7 with 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/h acceleration The time 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.

Feifan F7 is currently equipped with two different battery configurations, with battery power of 77kWh and 90kWh respectively. The CLTC maximum cruising range of the 90kWh two-wheel drive model is 666km. In addition, Feifan F7 owners can also enjoy battery replacement services. Under ideal conditions, the vehicle can complete battery replacement within 2.5 minutes. The vehicle's fast and slow charging interfaces are designed on the left rear fender, which is more in line with the Chinese driving habit of reversing into the garage.

The vehicle's chassis adopts a front double-wishbone and rear multi-link independent suspension that pays more attention to control, and the main components of the front suspension are aluminum alloy, which is quite good. In addition, Feifan F7 will also be equipped with the RISING PILOT intelligent driving system. The entire vehicle contains 32 sensing hardware. In addition to the conventional L2 level driving assistance functions, it can also realize intelligent pilot driving from point A to point B on the highway. This function I have tried it on Feifan R7 before and the overall performance is good.

Editor’s comment: With R7 as a reference, the overall strength of Feifan F7 has been roughly demonstrated through this static experience. The two cars have the same platform and follow the same concept in design. However, with the R7 as the basis, SAIC Feifan obviously has richer experience when launching this F7. Therefore, we can see that Feifan F7 has some unique configurations and functions, and is also different from R7 in terms of product strength, which actually gives consumers different choices.

In high-end medium and large pure electric carsIn the car market, brands such as Weilai and Jikrypton have already established a good reputation among consumers due to their early entry. This is particularly important for a market that is relatively blank. So for aviation For any brand that enters late like this, the difficulty is naturally self-evident. Of course, if the pricing of Feifan F7 is attractive enough, it is not impossible to seize share from other brands.
