In appearance, the style of Audi Q7 is actually quite satisfactory, and the S-line sports kit will be reflected in the improvement of the diversion of some details, but a large number of chrome-plated decorative materials on the structural parts still make it look stable and luxurious; In addition, "Audi Lighting Factory" is more advanced in function on this flagship SUV, and it can't add too many points to it visually.
Weilai ES8 is obviously more distinctive. Although the front face of the X-bar is also heavily chrome-plated, more avant-garde signals are released through the multi-zone interspersed connection of the lamp group, grille and diversion. In addition, Weilai ES8 is surrounded by relatively perfect chassis movement, which will make this pure electric flagship not appear too "new energy".
In terms of dimensions, the length, width and height of Audi Q7 are 5067/ 1970/ 1740mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2996 mm. The overall structure seems to win by height, and the column structure is very straight. The circumference of Weilai ES8 is 5022/ 1962/ 1756mm, and the wheelbase is 3010 mm. The suspended roof of the large-caliber window and the wide chassis with different colors from the body will make it look more slender.
For the interior, the Audi Q7 adopts a T-shaped central control layout. In addition to the 12.3-inch digital instrument panel, the 10. 1+8.6-inch double central control is embedded in the center baffle and auxiliary plate of the gear shifting mechanism respectively. The electronic gear shifting mechanism is push rod type, and the three-spoke steering wheel has perforated leather, which looks lighter in structure. In addition, there will be some wooden decorative boards on the auxiliary board, gear shift and door handle structure, and the seat will be a mix of genuine leather and imitation leather.
Weilai ES8 adopts a special asymmetric center console, with a 1 1.3-inch vertical touch screen under the NOMI interactive robot, and a 9.8-inch full LCD dashboard at the front of the dual-spoke steering wheel. The leather area of decorative stitching is relatively large, and the cockpit is compared up and down, while the steering wheel and seat are all leather, so there is no choice in grade.
In terms of vehicles, both vehicles cover real-time navigation, voice interaction and other functions through intelligent interconnection system, and are supported by vehicle networking and vehicle communication. Among them, Audi Q7 is equipped with Audi Connect system, which has the advantage of continuing to retain the interconnection function of lCarPlay/CarLife mobile phone; The NOMI system equipped with Weilai ES8 can cover more accessories such as skylights by voice, and can be remotely controlled by mobile APP, while services such as Baidu navigation, 5G network and OTA online upgrade are also not available in Audi Q7.
In terms of assistance, both cars support L2-class assisted driving, but the Audi Q7 is optional. The standard functions are only panoramic image+cruise control, assisted by automatic parking and active braking. On the other hand, Weilai ES8 relies on NIO Pilot to achieve the standard. In addition to full-speed adaptive cruise, it also has advanced capabilities such as automatic lane change, intelligent call, ramp access and so on, and supports NOP navigation assistance.
In terms of configuration, both cars support panoramic sunroof, induction tailgate, keyless entry of the whole car, wireless charging board and other accessories, while Audi Q7 realizes luxury ride by realizing front heating/ventilation and electric adjustment, rear electric reclining and multi-zone independent air conditioning with fragrance, and accessories such as 30-color atmosphere lights will also highlight the advanced cockpit; Weilai ES8 is superior to front soundproofing+rear privacy+heat pump air conditioning, and leather seats will also have more front massage and rear heating functions.
Mechanically, the engine compartment of Audi Q7 is a 2.0T engine, with the maximum power 195kW and the maximum torque of 370 N m. The 8AT gearbox on the transmission and the quattro four-wheel drive on the drive can help it break 100 in 6.9 seconds, while the mechanical torque-limited slip differential retained by the full-time four-wheel drive can cooperate with the off-road driving mode, so that the vehicle can cover more road conditions and improve logically. At the same time, the front and rear multi-link independent suspensions in the chassis will also be rigidly adjusted to optimize the road feedback under complex road conditions.
Weilai ES8 has dual motors, with total power and torque of 400kW and 725n·m respectively, forming an electric four-wheel drive. At the same time, it can make the vehicle break 100 in 4.9 seconds, and 100kWh battery pack will bring 580km NEDC pure battery life to the vehicle and support 0.8 hour fast charging. Unfortunately, the electric four-wheel drive has limited slip-limiting ability, but the suspension combination of double wishbone and multi-link is supplemented by air suspension, and the off-road ability may not be so strong, but the passability and shock absorption performance can be taken into account.
Write it at the end
After reading today's article, we can't deny BBA's seriousness about process details, and we can also see the advantages of Audi Q7 in multi-road driving.

Of course, the Audi Q7 is still luxurious enough and will be more suitable for consumers who are bent on stability. However, if you have some personal and intelligent interests, Weilai ES8 may be a good choice.
