Finally, at the end of November, the day I received my car had arrived. Despite the continuous drizzle in Shanghai, I arrived at Anting Delivery Center with excitement. Two rows of new cars were parked in the shiny lobby, and I immediately recognized my little purple one. This was also the first time I saw the real car of the Silver Wing Purple. This color is similar to the Pantone 2022 Popular Color “Changchun Flower Basket” in different light, presenting different colors, noble and mysterious. Matching with the black full-glass back, it looks fantastic! When I opened the car door, the elegant white interior I chose shone brightly. The 43-inch three-screen display was delicate and clear, and it was indeed worthy of being called the “Screen Dominator”! 
After completing the delivery procedures and obtaining the car, I first said to the navigation system, “Hey, FEIFAN, I want to go to XX Road”. The navigation instantly and accurately provided three routes for me to choose from. Then, I turned on the music, and the 14-speaker Bose sound system was full of texture! Halfway through, it started raining, and the wipers promptly responded by working. I originally wanted to try high-speed navigation, but due to the heavy rain, I decided to wait for better weather for safety.
Since I did not have the need for a long-range version and had a parking space for installing a charging pile at home, I chose the Standard Range version. After driving for a few days on short trips (round trips of 2-3 kilometers), the energy consumption performance was quite high. I heard from my buddies in the group that electric vehicles have higher energy consumption on short trips, whereas the energy consumption will decrease when driving on longer routes. After trying it, the consumption went down to a minimum of 13.8 kWh per hundred kilometers, which was quite satisfying. I also experienced automatic driving on the elevated expressway. Although I was a bit scared at first, the performance of the FEIFAN R7 was steady and reliable, giving me full confidence. It is indeed worthy of being called the “Roller King” in the intelligent driving world.
Unfortunately, the R7 lacks automatic parking and a transparent chassis. It is said that there will be a large OTA update in January, and I hope these practical features can be added. In addition, if FAW-Volkswagen wants to break into the mid-to-high-end market, the service needs to be improved as well. In short, I look forward to FAW-Volkswagen getting stronger and more people choosing FAW-Volkswagen!
