The recent news that Zeekr 001 has been reduced in price by 37,000 yuan has gone viral on social networks. Zeekr 001, which has always insisted on not reducing prices, finally decided to put aside its face and face the increasingly powerful opponent head-on.

The Xiaopeng P7i, which was lukewarm when it was launched, has gradually increased its voice among the public under the influence of the Xiaopeng G6, and its sales are quietly recovering.

The Feifan F7 launched by SAIC did not repeat the old path of Zhiji. Through its cost-effective strategy and outstanding appearance and interior design, it has received rave reviews and sales since its launch.

So which of these three models should you choose?

Today 91che has found three models for comparison to see which one is the most suitable choice for you.

The models participating in this comparison are: Zeekr 001 2023 WE version 86kWh, Xiaopeng P7 2023 P7i 610 Max performance version and Feifan F7 2023 long-term Pro version.

Design

Zeekr 001 can be said to be the most uniquely designed model among pure electric coupes in recent years. By combining the design elements of racing cars and station wagons, it has created a unique low-lying shooting brake coupe shape on the market. It has a design sense that can be distinguished at a glance from previous shooting brakes, and is very suitable for young consumers who pursue individuality.

As a modified model of Xiaopeng P7, the appearance of Xiaopeng P7i has not changed much compared with the previous generation. Perhaps it is because the appearance design of the previous generation is good enough and has received enough praise. Except for the addition of laser radars on both sides of the front face, there are no other changes in the overall design. However, it must be said that its streamlined body design is still not outdated until now.

As a pure electronic brand of SAIC, the exterior design of Feifan F7 fully reflects SAIC's skill in designing high-end sedans. Different from models that pursue a sporty and technological appearance, Feifan F7 is more like a high-end, commercial sedan. The simple front face, full but not sharp side and rounded tail all make Feifan F7 full of nobility.

Power Performance

In terms of performance, Zeekr 001 uses an electric motor with 544Ps horsepower, 400kW power and 686N·m torque, which is completely top-level among models of the same price. Its powerful performance can definitely meet the needs of every consumer who pursues power. Even though the curb weight of the car is close to 2.3 tons, Zeekr 001 still achieves a 0-100 acceleration time of 3.8 seconds.

Thanks to the dual-motor four-wheel drive, 255/55 R19 tires, and excellent handling tuning, the handling feel of the Zeekr 001 is also at the leading level in its class, making it a very suitable choice for consumers who love handling and high performance.

The Xiaopeng P7i is equally not to be outdone. It also adopts a dual-motor four-wheel drive design. The electric motor has a horsepower of 473Ps, a power of 348kW, and a torque of 757N·m. Therefore, its performance can be said to be on par with the Zeekr 001. Thanks to its light weight, the Xiaopeng P7i can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds, which is a bit behind the Zeekr 001, but the difference is not big in actual driving.

However, it should be noted here that the Xiaopeng P7i also has a very powerful XNGP autonomous driving function and a very high level of AI driving, so choosing the Xiaopeng P7i is equivalent to owning a high-performance coupe and an autonomous driving car at the same time.

Since Feifan F7 adopts a single-motor design, its performance is quite different from the previous two. The electric motor with 340Ps horsepower, 250kW power and 450N·m torque allows Feifan F7 to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds. Although compared with the same level of models, Feifan F7 is still regarded as an upper-middle performance coupe, but if you remember to pursue performance, Zeekr 001 or Xiaopeng P7i are better choices.

Battery life

In terms of battery life, the Zeekr 001 uses an 86kWh ternary lithium battery. Logically, its battery life should be very high, but due to the excessive performance of the electric motor and its power consumption of 17.1kWh per 100 kilometers, the final battery life is only 546km, which is mid-range among models of the same price. Therefore, if you often need to travel long distances, the Zeekr 001 is not the most suitable choice.

The Xiaopeng P7i uses an 86.2kWh ternary lithium battery with almost the same capacity as the Zeekr 001. However, due to Xiaopeng's good power consumption control and light body weight, the Xiaopeng P7i can provide a range of up to 610km. And thanks to Xiaopeng's relatively advanced three-electric technology, it only takes 0.48 hours to charge from 10% to 80%.

In addition, Xiaopeng also has a large number of brand-built charging stations, so in terms of the convenience of recharging, it is far ahead of the other two models.

Since the performance of Feifan F7 is not as extreme as the previous two, and its power consumption level is still good, it uses a 90kWh ternary lithium battery to achieve a range of 666km, and supports charging from 30% to 80% in 0.5 hours. Although the charging speed is not fast, overall, in this regard, Feifan F7 is the most practical and suitable for consumers with long-distance travel needs.

Cabin interior

In terms of the cockpit, the overall design language of Zeekr 001 is simple and advanced. The collision of three different materials on the center console makes the cockpit of Zeekr 001 not look monotonous visually; the leather steering wheel supports electric adjustment, and the seats are also made of Nappa leather. The front seats support heating, ventilation and massage; however, the 15.4-inch central control screen has a poor system operation experience, and we look forward to subsequent improvements.

Xiaopeng P7i still continues the cockpit design of P7 without making too many changes. The cockpit adopts a minimalist design. It does not look very high-end, but the quality is still good. There is a hidden light strip design inside, which can flash when playing music. The 14.96-inch central control screen has a good experience, and the AI ​​assistant is very intelligent, with timely feedback and can be used even in weak networks.

The cockpit design of Feifan F7 is similar to that of Mercedes-Benz electric E-Series. The design elements of the cockpit are very restrained, but the materials used are able to show a sense of luxury. The three large screens are responsible for driving information display, map and entertainment content display and co-pilot entertainment experience respectively, which takes care of everyone in the front row without appearing to be "installing screens for the sake of installing screens."

Buying advice

Considering only from the perspective of performance and handling, the Zeekr 001 is undoubtedly the most recommended model. Its 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 3.8 seconds is far beyond the reach of other competitors, and this is achieved on the basis of a body weight of nearly 2.3 tons. Combined with excellent handling tuning, it has become a car that all consumers who pursue power must see.

If you want excellent performance and want to experience the most advanced autonomous driving technology, then the Xiaopeng P7i can be said to be an intelligent alternative to the Zeekr 001. Its 0-100 km/h acceleration of 3.9 seconds is also at the upper level of its peers, and its elegant body design is suitable for both men and women.

Compared with the other two models, the performance of Feifan F7 in terms of power and intelligence is not outstanding. However, it is worth mentioning that the appearance design of Feifan F7 is more stable, the interior design is more in the style of a luxury brand, and the cruising range is longer, making it a relatively practical choice.
