However, if you have a budget of 400,000 yuan and finally choose a Weilai ES6 after watching the BBA, there will still be many friends who don't understand or even question it. In this case, we might as well compare the actual situation and see if the person who chooses Weilai is hard-headed or weird.
Weilai ES6 and BMW X3
Weilai ES6 and BMW X3 appeared on the same stage, and a big war was imminent. Weilai ES6 is a 430KM signature version with an official guide price of 468,000 yuan. Is BMW X3 xDrive? 30i？ The top model is equipped with M suite, and the official guide price is 479,800 yuan.
Not much to say, then, we will officially enter the comparison link.
Static contrast: there is more than one definition of luxury goods!
First, let's look at their design tendencies. Is there a natural "advanced face"?
Bmw X3
Let's take a look at BMW X3 first. Classic BMW design elements are also indispensable: kidney grille, angel eye headlights and the blessing of M suite. Even Xiao Bai, who doesn't know about cars, will definitely feel the standard "advanced face" at first sight, especially the huge rear tail and exhaust on both sides. The overall sense of movement is full.
Weilai ES6
Looking at Weilai ES6 again, I am used to the design of the front face of the fuel car. When I first saw Weilai ES6, I believe many people will have a short-term discomfort. However, if you carefully observe Weilai's family-style design, you will find that this design is actually very forward-looking and has even become the object that automobile designers are scrambling to imitate.
If the BMW X3 looks very advanced, it must be a sense of science and technology to describe the Weilai ES6.
Of course, there is no so-called "advanced face". The so-called luxury and luxury are just a kind of thinking prejudice caused by our constant psychological suggestion after being guided by marketing. Luxury design should be more of a unique element and the beauty of harmonious rhythm. At this point, both Weilai ES6 and BMW X3 have their own advantages, and there is no obvious difference between them.
In terms of appearance, the biggest difference comes from their size. The length, width and height of the BMW X3 are respectively 4717 *1891*1689 mm, and the wheelbase is 2864mm；; The length, width and height of Weilai ES6 are 4850* 1965* 1758mm, and the wheelbase is 2900 mm In terms of size, Weilai ES6 is larger than BMW X3.
On the bus, the difference between the two began to become obvious.
BMW X3 Interior
The interior design of BMW X3 is more in line with our understanding of traditional luxury cars, with layered cockpit design, the iconic "drumstick" shift handle, and a very sporty three-position steering wheel and paddles. The materials used are also very solid. In addition to a large area of leather coating, there are many wood grain decorations in the middle, and the interior design is very elegant.
Weilai ES6 Interior
The interior design of Weilai ES6 obviously chose another way, which eliminated the interference of physical buttons as much as possible, and replaced it with two large-size high-definition large screens. Even the shift keys were specially designed, which made it more scientific and technological in the future.
Therefore, judging from the interior design, the BMW X3 is solid enough and the traditional sense of luxury is in place, but the fly in the ointment may be a bit "greasy". Although the appearance is sporty enough, when the leather meets the wood texture, the overall temperament of this interior will mature.
Weilai ES6 caters to the current trend of light design, and people are slowly shifting from flashy European court style to the pursuit of Nordic minimalism and Japanese subtraction aesthetics. From the perspective of minimalist technology aesthetics, Weilai ES6 is undoubtedly more attractive.
In addition to the interior, in fact, in terms of space performance, the two are also very different.
Weilai ES6 "Queen's Co-driver"
"The Queen's Throne" is an ingenious idea of the space utilization of Weilai ES6. The co-pilot can be electrically adjusted to be almost flat, and can also move back and forth greatly to take care of passengers who need care. Humanization index is five stars!
In fact, it is not only the co-pilot of the Queen, but also the overall space utilization rate of Weilai ES6 is higher. From the wireless charging cell phone slot dug in the center console to the huge glove box, space has also been dug under the center console. In terms of space utilization, Weilai ES6 will actually be more "loaded", while BMW X3 sacrificed this part of the space experience for luxury and sports.

In the back row space, the flat platform of Weilai ES6 can also win the hearts of passengers in the back row, while the high platform of BMW X3, sitting in the middle of the back row, will make people feel "in a dilemma" and the experience will be greatly reduced.
Configuration comparison: technology ≠ luxury
But keeping pace with the times is the standard of luxury.
After reading the static comparison, let's take a look at the difference in configuration between the two.
In terms of hardware, BMW X3 adopts 12.3+ 10.25 inch dual screen, and Weilai ES6 adopts 9.8+1/0.3 inch large screen.
BMW X3 central control panel
Although some people may say that BMW is the first car company among luxury brands to use voice/semantic recognition, and how accurate and intelligent voice recognition is, if it is to be compared with NOMI of Weilai, BMW X3 will obviously be ruthlessly crushed. The former is still a function, and the latter has become an intelligent system, which is completely different from its peers.

In terms of technology configuration, due to the inherent advantages of pure electric architecture, what we can see is that the compared Weilai ES6 has remote start, air suspension, Bluetooth /NFC key, built-in driving recorder, wireless charging of mobile phone and other configurations, which are not even available on the BMW X3 top. In addition, this model is also equipped with the "Queen's Co-driver", which is also very distinctive in terms of comfort experience.
Of course, the most anticipated technology configuration of Weilai ES6 is actually the OTA of the whole vehicle, which means that the Weilai ES6 you bought has great upgrade potential, just like the mobile phone I use. After updating the system, many functions that I don't have will be unlocked.
"Chicken Leg" of BMW X3
On the side of BMW X3, technology has actually ranked first in BBA, but in addition to the basic technology configuration, the characteristics of BMW X3 are more inclined to create a sense of movement. Sports seat, appearance sports kit, steering wheel shift, etc. Not on the Weilai ES6, there are also flat tires, which is also a highlight of the BMW X3.
Compared with configuration technology, I believe many people will complain about BMW X3, saying that technology can't define luxury, but in fact luxury and technology itself are not contradictory. Many times, the high value of luxury cars should enjoy more avant-garde and practical technology. BMW has always emphasized giving car owners the right to choose, and the premise of all this is: you have to have this configuration first!
Power control: the inheritance of BMW and the comfort of Weilai
If the static contrast is not obvious enough, then the dynamic experience is inevitable.
The two cars accelerated in the track race &; Braking performance test, pile winding test, elk test, bumpy road test, pulley block. The main test is the product quality of the two cars in terms of performance, handling, comfort and ability to get out of trouble.
Weilai ES6
First of all, in the accelerated test, according to official data, it takes 4.7 seconds for Weilai ES6 and 6.8 seconds for BMW X3. In the actual experience, the motor induced by the front permanent magnet synchronization of Weilai ES6 has a comprehensive power as high as 400kW, and the push back feeling is extremely crisp, while the BMW X3 uses a high-power engine of BMW 2.0T, and its output is also very strong, but obviously it can only be seen that the taillights of Weilai ES6 are accelerating the competition.
If you run fast, you must stop. Accelerate to the end of the runway, then brake performance test, stop with one foot. Thanks to Brembo four-piston brake calipers, the whole braking process of Weilai ES6 is very linear, and the braking distance is also very short, which is not much different from the official braking distance of 33.9 meters, so it is very crisp and decisive.
BMW X3 is not a vegetarian either. Its excellent mechanical quality also brings excellent braking linearity and solid foot feeling, but it is slightly inferior in braking distance and needs a longer braking distance.
Weilai ES6 passed the elk test.
BMW X3 passed elk test.
The next step is the test of winding piles and elk to test the adjustment and handling performance of the chassis. This link is actually the strength of BMW X3. BMW has always been known for its manipulation. The superb chassis adjustment art of Bavarian engineers has made countless control enthusiasts fondle admiringly, and with the advantage of shorter wheelbase, there is an unforgettable feeling in the whole pile winding and elk test, whether it is the stability of the car body or the tracking of the whole vehicle!
Although Weilai ES6 prefers comfortable driving experience, the ultra-high torsional stiffness of active air suspension and all-aluminum body is also very eye-catching, such as unlimited handling, which is actually comparable to BMW X3.
Weilai ES6 has gone through a bumpy road.
BMW X3 passes through bumpy roads.
In the bumpy road, the advantages of air suspension are rapidly highlighted, and with the design of CDC active shock absorber, Weilai ES6 can filter the vibration in place when passing through the bumpy road, and the ride experience will be more comfortable and cozy. The BMW X3 with motion adjustment will be tougher overall, and the comfort will naturally be slightly weaker.
Weilai ES6 passed the pulley block test.
BMW X3 passed the pulley block test.
In the final pulley block test, the ability of the vehicle to get out of trouble is tested. Both BMW X3 and Weilai ES6 can pass smoothly, but the difference between them is that Weilai's electric four-wheel drive has a faster response, and when the wheels slip, it can adjust the torque output of the four wheels more quickly, thus getting out of trouble quickly.
Hongping electric vehicle
After some comparison, we can see that although the BMW X3 is excellent, the latecomer Weilai ES6 is also very strong. Under the wave of pure electricity, in fact, ES6 has many innate advantages, such as technology, such as humanized design, and the unique performance characteristics of pure electricity. Although many people are still cautious about pure electricity, this does not prevent Weilai ES6 from becoming more and more mature.
Especially the release of 100kWh version, after the power station layout is mature, it not only solves the battery life problem criticized by pure electricity, but also has the strength of not losing oil in experience, especially the brand-new separation mode of vehicle and electricity, which reduces the entry threshold of Weilai ES6 a lot. What is most worth looking forward to is Weilai's sea fishing service, which does not lose the traditional luxury in the luxury experience and solves the worries of users.
Generally speaking, whether it is Weilai ES6 or BMW X3, there is always more than one luxury choice. Users have the right to choose, and car companies can only be invincible if they provide products that meet the market demand!
