Recently, the editor has become more and more interested in new energy vehicles. A few days ago, we tested the headlights of the Xpeng P5 and Leapmoon C01 models. It can be said that the results are not ideal. Maybe the model we tested is not priced enough? So today we brought a model that can be considered mid-to-high-end among new forces and new energy sources, it is the Wenjie M7. Take a look at the strength of new energy models worth about 300,000 yuan!
First, let’s take a quick look at Wenjie M7! The car is a medium-to-large range-extended SUV with a price range of RMB 289,800-379,800. Our test car is the 2022 1.5T extended-range four-wheel drive flagship version, which is the top version of the Wenjie M7 family and is priced at 37.98. At this price, it can be considered a high-end product among new energy products.
Test model: Wenjie M7 2022 1.5T extended range four-wheel drive flagship version Guide price: 379,800 yuan
Light source: Both high and low beams are LED Special features: Automatic high and low beams
The differences between various price versions of the Wenjie M7 are mainly divided into four-wheel drive dual motors and rear-wheel drive single motor. In terms of headlights, all M7 series are the same. They are equipped with LED light sources. The headlights are connected by a slender light strip, which brings a good sense of technology.
In terms of configuration, the set of headlights of the Wenjie M7, in addition to the standard LED far and near light sources for the entire series, the taillights and through-type U-shaped daytime running lights and turn signals also use LED light sources. It is also equipped with adaptive high and low beams (without automatic shielding), which can automatically switch between high and low beams according to the environment.
In terms of car light control, the turning on of the high and low beam width indicator lights of Wenjie M7 is controlled by the lever. However, the distance and delay closing functions of the light are set in the central control screen. It can be said that the operation is relatively convenient. I don’t want to In many new energy models, many switches of the headlights are also turned on on the screen, which indeed increases the learning time for many users.
In addition, the headlights are adjustable with a delay shut-off function, and the gears are divided into four distances: near, near, far, and far. The headlight delay time can also be selected as 15 seconds, 30 seconds and 60 seconds. It can be said that these configurations appear on a model with a price of 300,000 yuan, which can be regarded as the current mainstream level.
Lamp group composition & configuration analysis:
It can be seen intuitively from the structure diagram that the internal structure of the headlights of Wenjie M7 is relatively simple. Both the high and low beams are illuminated by a lens bead. The upper LED light strip is the daytime running light, and the lower yellow LED light strip is the turn signal and width indicator light.
Of course, the editor also consulted the local retail dealer about the price of the lamp set for the Wenjie M7. The price quoted by the after-sales staff was 4,500 yuan. This price is not considered high among independent new energy models of the same level. High. Compared with its selling price, the parts-to-part ratio of this car’s accessories is still very low. It can be said that the price difference is not much different from the 200,000 yuan Xpeng P5 and Leapao C01 that we have tested before.
standard test:
Car light brightness measurement unit: Lux (Lux)
Definition: When an object is uniformly illuminated by light and the luminous flux obtained on an area of 1 square meter is 1 lumen, its illumination (light intensity) is 1Lux
Note: In the actual test of Feiling Auto, in a dark room, an ordinary candle is lit, and when the human eye is 30cm away from the candle flame, the light intensity experienced is 10Lux.
In terms of car light illumination distance, we take the brightness of 10Lux as the minimum lighting limit and take the distance value when this brightness is reached.
20cm is generally the minimum height of the vehicle's front bumper from the ground. We choose this position as the lowest position illuminated by the light. The distance from this position to the headlights is the illumination distance.
10Lux is also a brightness standard for the next car light distance test!
The low beam results are not outstanding, not exceeding 30 meters.
In the actual lighting test, we tested the nearest and farthest low-beam irradiation distance of Wenjie M7 separately. It can be said that the low beam performance of Wenjie M7 is not too outstanding. The farthest low-beam irradiation distance of Wenjie M7 is: 28.7 meters on the left, 28.4 meters on the right, and 27.2 meters in the middle; the shortest low-beam irradiation distance is: 15.7 meters on the left, 19.1 meters on the right, and 18.7 meters in the middle.
Generally speaking, 30 meters is considered the passing line for our low beam test, and the low beam of Wenjie M7 does not exceed 30 meters, which does not bring us many surprises.
High beam irradiation distance: 112.7 meters, a good result among new energy vehicles!
The high beam of Wenjie M7 can be said to be the best among the new energy models we have tested recently. Its high beam irradiation distance is 112.7 meters. What concept? It can be said to be the standard for many joint venture luxury cars. It is difficult for some Japanese joint venture cars to reach the 110-meter level, which is basically the same as many BMW models.
Editor's summary:
The set of headlights of Wenjie M7 has advantages and disadvantages. It is obvious that the high beam performance is still very good, but the low beam still needs to be improved a bit. In terms of configuration functions, although it is not a full-level configuration, at the price of 300,000 yuan, the configuration is reasonable.
Generally speaking, the development of independent new energy vehicles needs to continue to be balanced, and not just focus on battery life and battery power. Other configurations, such as headlights, etc., also need to keep up with the pace.
