Xiaomi’s F7 competes with ET5 in terms of cost performance
It is popular to see competition among rival companies these days. Lei Jun, the CEO of Xiaomi, said, “I am familiar with this situation!” and just yesterday the general manager said that the sales of F7 for 23 years will exceed those of ET5! Dreams are always ridiculed when talked about, and I saw that some netizens laughed and said that if the goal cannot be achieved, let Xue Zong resign, haha!
Last week I already placed an order for the F7, and to lock in the first wave of dividends and advance reservations, I invested the first 77 yuan. At that time, there were rumors that it would be listed by the end of March, and now it has been officially confirmed! The delivery speed is faster than that of R7, and I have learned a lot from R7 and will apply it to F7!
From the perspective of the picture, F7 is taking ET7’s size and configuration as a benchmark for the price of ET5, the cost performance is excellent. I am more concerned about the practicality and the texture of the interior. For me, practicality is the best if it can take care of the children in the front passenger seat and back seat, and texture is more about my sensory experience.
The interior of ET5 is very refreshing and tidy. The vertical screen doesn’t give me the same widescreen visual effect [WL1]. I really like the color matching of the steering wheel. Secondly, children especially like Nomi because it is lively, and its expression feels very spiritual, making it smart and convenient to use. Overall, I can give it a 4-star rating in terms of sensory experience. I won’t mention the shortcomings, so that it won’t be criticized as a negative review.
Regarding some of the opinions of the F7, I may refer to R7 because I have seen it before, and there are many shops in supermarkets. F7 is a pragmatic model with sufficient screens in both front and back rows. Compared to Nomi, children will prefer the screen in the back seat to watch animations. The front-row screen has clear functions. If I remember correctly, F7’s OLED screen is the same as R7’s. The visual and color effects of OLED are really impressive. However, too many screens may not be minimalistic and may be submerged in the trend of big screens, but the integration of the center control is a breath of fresh air. The seat has a nice name called the “Bach seat.” Although the reason is unknown, I feel that RisingAuto has a lot of expertise in seat design and layout.

After experiencing them statically, I actually would lean towards RisingAuto F7 a bit more, but I don’t exclude the possibility of choosing ET5. I will wait until I have tested the dynamic performance of F7 before making any comments. Anyway, I heard that it will be available for test drive in March, which is pretty fast. Regarding what General Manager Xue said about surpassing ET5, I think it is definitely a good thing. Whether it is NIO or RisingAuto, surpassing and chasing each other is beneficial for development!
