The coupe design makes the visual experience on the side of the car more compact, equipped with hidden door handles, frameless doors, electric suction doors as standard throughout the series, and optional orange front and rear high-performance sports calipers and 20-inch rims to further enhance the visual impact.
The ET5 tail is followed by through taillights, the logo is placed above the upturned ducktail spoiler, and the exaggerated vertical knife tail diffuser under the rear bumper makes the rounded body a little more crisp.

Battery rental
On January 10, 2022, Weilai built a total of 784 substations across the country, making it difficult to solve the charging of one of the biggest pain points of electric vehicles, and also let some consumers focus on new energy vehicles, and the problem of excessive battery prices that consumers are worried about, Weilai also provides a solution, and then we explore the battery rental plan proposed by Weilai.
Taking the 70Kwh battery as an example, Weilai priced it at 70,000 yuan, and when choosing the battery rental service, this money will be deducted from the car payment, and then it needs to pay 980 battery rental fees and 80 yuan battery guarantee service fees per month, a total of 1060 yuan.
Et5's long-endurance battery pack (100kWh) rental fee starts at $1480.
When the battery rental scheme was selected, the car price was greatly reduced, but taking the 70kWh battery of 70,000 yuan as an example, when the consumer paid 5.5 years (66 months), it was already the same as the battery buyout price, and the long-lasting battery pack (100kWh) was the same as the battery buyout price when it was paid for 82 months, but the next rent was still to be paid.
There are several issues to be aware of before choosing a battery rental:
1. Battery rental is non-replaceable for life, and it is also non-replaceable when trading second-hand cars, and new owners still need to pay rent.
2. If you do not use a car for a long time and want not to rent a battery, there are two problems to hinder, one. The vehicle has no power after the battery is out of power. Two. The official does not recommend installing batteries for a long time, and long-term lack of electricity may cause problems with electrification equipment.
3. Battery buyout and lease enjoy the same rights and interests in power exchange services, choose WEILAI to provide charging piles with four power exchange services per month, do not need Weilai to install charging piles there are six free battery replacement services per month.
summary
The effect of Weilai's 784 replacement power station is obvious to all, reducing the mileage anxiety of some car owners, and long-distance travel does not necessarily remove electric vehicles. ET5 at a price of 328,000 standard with electric suction doors, 256 colors of digital light curtain mood lights, 23 speakers of The Dolby Atmos audio, in front of many practical configurations, 4.3 seconds of acceleration seems to be less important, with minimalist style interior, the ET5's interior feeling is more expected.
