The Bach Cabin of F7 by FF is definitely worth the fare.
I was very happy to receive FF’s invitation to participate in the F7 event on the “Bach Cabin”. I took an early morning train to Shanghai and rushed to the Glass Museum to check-in~ The event process was not complicated, but I had many experiences, mainly in three aspects: “space”, “seats”, and “audio and video”. I will briefly record them:
Space —— As a mid-to-large-sized car, the F7 has a length of 5 meters and a wheelbase of 3 meters. My wife thought we should buy a car with more spacious interior, which is more practical. So I decided to order the F7, but in fact, the F7 is far from just being “practical” haha! The rear space with a 3-meter wheelbase is indeed spacious. FF said that the battery structure of the chassis has been optimized, and the floor is not as high as the NIO ET7. Therefore, sitting in the car is also very comfortable. Especially the seating position of the front row driver’s seat can be adjusted as low as an oil-powered car. This is really awesome!
Seats——From space to seats, the most intuitive feeling is of course the comfort of sitting. The seats of the F7 are really thick. It is said that there are three layers of foam, and there are special filling designs from the backrest to the cushion. So when you sit on it, you can clearly feel that it is very solid, just right. If this is my one-sided experience, FF has also brought in the Mercedes-Benz S and NIO ET7 for comparison. Compared with these two, the riding experience of NIO ET7 is really average. Of course, the comfort of the Mercedes-Benz S is unparalleled, but to be honest, if I were to compare the seats of FF F7 and Mercedes-Benz S with my eyes closed, I would really feel that they’re evenly matched, this is something that surprised me a bit. The cushion of F7 has also been lengthened, so there is support for leg dragging, and the shape of the entire seat matches the body very well!
Video and audio –– In fact, F7’s publicity in this area is low-key because the official statement is “dual-zone independent video and audio”, which means the front and rear zones are independent, but actually the central control, co-pilot, and rear 8-inch screens of F7 can realize “three-zone independent video and audio”, such as the central control screen connecting with Bluetooth earphones for music playback, co-pilot and the rear screens used for playing cartoons for children. The idea of these usage scenarios is still good. I also experienced the 3D sound effect on site, and the sound quality is of course undoubted. But I think the following functions are interesting: There are vector sound sources, where the sound goes to the direction where the attention is focused, similar to Airpods spatial audio. The linked function can enable the “quiet mode”. So while the front row is still listening to navigation or music, there is a relatively quiet space in the rear. Another thing is to use this technology, which can be linked to left or right turn signals during navigation voice broadcasting, which is indeed something haha~
The experience of visiting this time is still very good, and the F7’s cabin did not disappoint me. Currently, I hope it can be launched and put into production quickly.付，早点去把我的F7接回来～
