Polestar 2 compared to Xiaopeng P7, who is the ideal for pure electric vehicles?

Brother Bean takes you to a different perspective to see the car

Recently the news of the crazy rise in oil prices has become a hot topic in everyone's tea and dinner chatter, many car friends have said that it seems to be more in line with the situation of the times to start a new energy vehicle, for the family has owned a fuel vehicle in the high-end customers, the budget of about 300,000 pure electric vehicles will become everyone's first choice, but the range of options does not seem to be much. Especially when everyone has aesthetic fatigue on the existing high-end pure electric vehicles, if there is a model with a moderate price and unique shape, I believe that everyone will have a bright feeling. Today, Dou Ge will introduce a pure electric vehicle with European luxury car genes, which is Polar Star 2, and the benchmark is our domestic new energy Xiaopeng P7.

Some people may think that the two pure trams are of different levels, but in the selection of electric vehicles, price proximity is often the most important consideration. Therefore, Dou Ge chose two models with a relatively close time to the market and a small price range difference - Polar Star 2 2021 dual motor long endurance model and Xiaopeng P7 2021 670E Pengyi version. At present, the price checked from the Zhichedi APP, the guidance price of the PoleStar 2 2021 dual motor long endurance model is 338,000 yuan, the guidance price of the Xiaopeng P7 2021 670E Pengyi edition is 366,900 yuan, and the following two models are referred to as "PoleStar 2" and "Xiaopeng P7" respectively.

Designs vary

From the appearance point of view, the Polar Star 2 has a unique shape, which is minimalist according to the popular saying at the moment. The design of polyline angles and geometric figures is used to create an angular and sculptural appearance. The body ratio is evenly distributed, with a gold counterweight ratio close to 50:50. In contrast, Xiaopeng P7, sports and personality may be the most obvious labels. The front's signature through-LED is increasingly running lights, and when parking or waiting for traffic lights, this running light will flash like a wave. Looking at the Xiaopeng P7 from the side, the overall relatively flat and rounded body line coupled with the slender and slippery shape creates the characteristics of a coupe.

For Dou Ge, if you only look at the appearance, the individual will be more inclined to the shape of xiaopeng P7, whether it is the iconic scissor door or body color matching and the overall line integration, Xiaopeng P7 is definitely bright enough in the vast sea of cars.

The texture of the interior is not different

First of all, let's talk about the feeling of Brother Dou sitting in the cabin of polar star 2, and the delicate texture left a deep impression on me. First of all, the seat material of the PoleStar 2 is quite special, and it can be used to make the WeaveTech material of professional diving suits, which is delicate to the touch and more durable. Secondly, the main and auxiliary chairs of polar star 2 provide five ways such as front and rear, backrest, high and low four-way, leg rest and waist support four-way, for tall users, this detail design can enhance a lot of driving pleasure. In addition, Brother Bean believes that a good atmosphere in the car can enhance the driving pleasure. Polar Star 2's white mood light creates a pure sense of atmosphere, especially at night, with the assistance of white atmosphere lights, it is easy to find the items you need in the dark.

The minimalist design of the Cabin of Xiaopeng P7 will suddenly have a feeling of "no way to start" to control the vehicle, especially for car owners who drive traditional fuel vehicles all year round, the central control layout of Xiaopeng P7 will definitely surprise you a little. Of course, compared with traditional design, young people who pursue individual novelty should like this kind of style. It can be seen that the idea of Xiaopeng manufacturers is to hope that users will control the function through the 14.69-inch central control screen, so that the layout of the entire center console is very simple, and no physical buttons can be seen.

To be fair, from a visual point of view, xiaopeng P7 has attracted a lot of attention with its minimalist central control layout and interior color matching, including Dou Ge. However, from the perspective of long-term user use, retaining a small number of commonly used physical buttons may be more in line with everyone's daily use habits. Especially when the central control screen fails, the most commonly used physical buttons retained by the PoleStar 2 can make the vehicle more safe to drive on high speeds.

Space Experience PoleStar 2 overall more comfortable

The vehicle size of The PoleStar 2 is 4606*1859*1479mm, with a wheelbase of 2735mm, and the vehicle size of Xiaopeng P7 is 4880*1896*1450mm, with a wheelbase of 2998mm. Compared with the Xiaopeng P7, the length and width are slightly shorter, but the height is 29mm more. On the one hand, the front row of the Xiaopeng P7 has a fairly good view, but when Brother Dou sits in the back row, the leg space is not as spacious as imagined, and the area of the rear windshield is relatively narrow, plus the overhead is a segmented skylight, so the Xiaopeng P7 may not be so friendly to the passengers in the rear row. On the other hand, although the wheelbase of the Polestar 2 is not as good as that of the Xiaopeng P7, it is fortunate that its height is higher, taking care of the head space of the rear passengers. To put it simply, Polestar 2 uses limited space to "evenly" distribute the ride feeling in the front and rear rows.

Power-out PoleStar 2 wins

The reason why Dou Ge said that the Polar Star 2 is very thick is because the price is lower than the Xiaopeng P7 but has dual motors. Under the blessing of the dual motors, the maximum total power of the PoleStar 2 is 300kW, the peak torque is 660N·m, and the maximum speed can reach 205km/h, while the single-motor version of the Xiaopeng P7 has a maximum power of 196kW, a peak torque of 267N·m, and a maximum speed of 170km/h. As long as the Polar Star 2 is driving on the road, it will definitely give you the desired feeling of pushing back, and the model architecture of the Polestar 2 is biased towards control, so it is completely possible to change lanes easily and quickly.

The security configuration Polestar 2 is slightly superior

From the perspective of safety configuration, whether it is active safety or passive safety, the protection of both vehicles is done well. In addition to the similar protective measures of the two cars, Dou Ge would like to share the highlights of the Polar Star 2 with you. First of all, the body "skeleton" of the PoleStar 2 uses 67% of the high-strength steel, and if there is an unfortunate side collision or vehicle rollover, the body structure can provide sufficient support for the driver and occupants. Secondly, the battery pack of the Polestar 2 is wrapped in an aluminum shell, completely enclosed in the chassis architecture of the CMA platform, and the body structure is reinforced. In the event of a collision, the Polestar 2's high-voltage battery pack will automatically disconnect from the vehicle, removing the danger of charging the vehicle. It is worth mentioning that the inner airbags in the Polestar 2 car add the maximum area of protection to the inside of the front passenger, and the safety performance is self-evident. Of course, if the seat belt of the Polestar 2 can be equipped with a full car and a 360-degree panoramic image as standard as the Xiaopeng P7, it will be more impressive to the car buyers.

Written in the end: through the comparison of the two cars, xiaopeng P7 may be more attractive to young people in terms of appearance and styling, but if you calm down to test drive PoleStar 2, you will find that Polar Star 2 is a pure electric vehicle that pays attention to the driving experience and has a high comprehensive safety factor. If you have a slight aesthetic fatigue of pure electric vehicles in the high-end market, you may wish to try the PoleStar 2, the more affordable starting price and the good driving and safety configuration should not disappoint you.
