On December 24, 2022, NIO Day 2022 was held in Hefei. This time, NIO Day 2022 released the intelligent electric flagship SUV EC7 and the all-scene intelligent electric flagship SUV new ES8. Both models were born from the latest second-generation technology platform of Weilai, which has created an experience beyond expectations for users in terms of design, performance, comfort, intelligence, safety, etc.
EC7 and ES8, as a new generation of Weilai vehicles, represent the latest technical level of Weilai. Both models were born on the latest second-generation technology platform of Weilai, creating an experience beyond expectations for users in terms of design, performance, comfort, intelligence, safety, etc. Let the hotline Junlai give you a static experience to see what highlights of the two new models of Weilai!
First of all, the Weilai EC7, as the medium and large flagship sedan SUV newly designed by Weilai, interprets the elegant characteristics of Weilai to the extreme, and will become the aesthetic benchmark of the sedan SUV.
EC7 is equipped with air suspension and a new generation of efficient electric drive platform from Ulai. The maximum power of the front and rear motors is 480kW, and the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is 3.8 seconDS; The shortest braking distance of 100 kilometers is 33.9 meters.
In addition, the active lifting tail wing is used for the first time, which not only shapes the visual sense of motion of EC7, but also improves the aerodynamic performance of the whole vehicle. The tail wing provides drag reduction and extreme speed, providing drag reduction and downforce lifting functions respectively. The drag coefficient of EC7 is as low as 0.230Cd, which is "the SUV with the lowest drag coefficient in the world".
The skylight is a panoramic skylight glass with an area of 1.94 square meters, and the optional intelligent dimming panoramic skylight. For the first time, the black and gray neutral primary color is used in the electrochromic skylight glass. The third generation of flexible electrochromic technology (EC) provides five levels of transmittance adjustment.
The new ES8 for the first time represents the most advanced expression of the second generation design language of Weilai in SUV models through design. The appearance adopts the design concept of "Design for AD" to achieve the integration of functionality and design, so that the wind resistance coefficient of the new ES8 is only 0.250Cd.
The new ES8 also adopts a new generation of high-efficiency electric drive platform, with the maximum power of the front and rear motors of 480kW, and the acceleration time of 100km is 4.1 seconds; With six-piston brake calipers, the shortest braking distance of 100 kilometers is 34.3 meters; Through the IPB line control system, intelligent dual-chamber air suspension and self-developed ICC intelligent chassis domain controller, the driving quality and adaptability have been greatly improved.
The new ES8 is the first time to apply the self-developed Weilai high-end seat platform. The driver seat supports shoulder adjustment. The newly upgraded Queen (parameter | picture) co-driver can achieve zero gravity attitude through one-touch comfort mode. The width of the second row of independent seats is 550 mm, equipped with leg support, and the one-button comfort mode forms a 135 ° comfort posture. The combination of digital layer and reservoir layer between the second row of central handrails creates a new "adMINIstrative island" layout.
The digital layer provides functions such as the car and machine interconnection of Weilai mobile phones and wireless charging, cup holders, and storage of mobile phones;; Car refrigerator is optional for storage layer. The third row of seats is designed in an encircling way, equipped with seat heating and electric angle adjustment functions, as well as cup holders and Type-C charging interfaces. ES8 is also available with two rows of independent seats and a central channel, and the third row is more convenient. With three rows and five zones of independent air conditioning and fresh air system, each seat of ES8 is extremely comfortable. EC7 also uses this high-end seat platform.
The new ES8 adopts intelligent multi-beam headlights. With the support of the laser radar, combined with the forward-looking camera and millimeter wave radar, the new ES8 can automatically detect the road conditions and guide the lighting system to achieve accurate beam distribution; It can provide a variety of adaptive light types to adapt to various common driving scenarios, including low-speed urban roads, urban roads, medium-speed rural roads, high-speed roads, turns, dynamic continuous turns, intelligent high-beam anti-dazzle, car-following intelligent high-beam anti-dazzle, and road signs anti-dazzle. EC7 is also equipped with this headlamp.
Both EC7 and the new ES8 are equipped with the latest Banyan intelligent system of Weilai, including the Aquila super-sensing system composed of 33 high-performance sensors such as ultra-long-range laser radar and 8 megapixel camera, and the Adam supercomputing platform composed of 4 NVIDIA Drive Orin X chips with a total computing power of 1016 TOPS, providing users with intelligent cockpit and intelligent driving applications that continue to lead the whole industry.
The standard configuration of the two models is the Weilai PanoCinema panoramic digital cockpit, which is composed of the world's first vehicle-mounted artificial intelligence assistant NOMI, the 7.1.4 immersive sound system equipped with Dolby Atmos Dolby panoramic sound technology, the light waterfall surround atmosphere light, the 12.8-inch AMOLED central control screen, and high-performance AR and VR equipment, making the cockpit a "immersive digital space" for multi-sensory interaction of the whole scene.
The power of ES8 audio system is upgraded to 20-way 2230W, and the enhanced entertainment host with built-in N-Box is equipped as standard to realize PanoCinema 3DoF cinema, AR/VR multi-person viewing, and AR glasses direct connection. At present, Weilai users can enjoy thousands of Dolby music, "vinyl" records, giant screen movies and even live broadcast of NIO Day AR in the PanoCinema panoramic digital cockpit in the car.
In terms of intelligent driving, in addition to NOP+, Weilai will gradually realize high-speed pilot power change in the first half of 2023. Users can launch navigation through EC7 and the new ES8. After that, the vehicle can automatically complete the planning of adding circuit lines on the highway, intelligently navigate to the power station, automatically complete the power change and automatically drive out of the service area to return to the highway.
Conclusion: In general, EC7 and ES8, as the replacement works of the second generation of Weilai platform models, have been very excellent in the same level and price range models. The strong power brought by the dual motors, the interior atmosphere with full sense of science and technology, and the design language handed down by Weilai can make people recognize this is a Weilai at a glance.
