I tried three car models, XPeng G9, Flying Pigeon R7, and Model Y, and would like to share my most concerning seat experience.
I don’t really believe in ergonomics or design, comfort is the most important factor. The seats are usually designed as one-size-fits-all, but this often fails to meet everyone’s needs.
I am 185cm tall, so sedans are not very suitable for me, and I prefer SUVs.
I tried each seat of the Flying Pigeon R7, the seat is relatively thick and wide, and the backrest looks very solid from the rear seats. The seat adjustment is on the door panel, which feels like the design of a Mercedes and takes some time to get used to. The seat has comfortable entry and exit configuration, massage and heating and ventilation functions are available, which makes it a versatile seat.
The XPeng G9 seat has a highlight of embedded speakers, it also vibrates and has a strong dynamic. The electric adjustment is traditional, which can be adjusted through the cushion position or the screen, and the seat is also thick.
The white seats of the Model Y look particularly cool and modern. The backrest is also comfortable, but relatively thin, so the support feeling would be different. It sways less steadily than the thick seats. It may also be for space, as the Y is the smallest among these cars.
