Dongfeng Nissan N7

Appearance: I drove the new car home and the next day, I took it to get window tinting. I chose an 8mm car paint protection film, and for the window tint, I went with Llumar's ClearVue 80 + ClearVue 35 + ClearVue 15. (The ClearVue 80 on the front windshield is very clear, but the heat insulation is a bit lacking.) The silver paint looks blue and silver from different angles, which is quite special compared to the silver of other new energy vehicles!
Space, Interior, and Configuration: The rear - seat space is very large. Adults can cross their legs. The length of the seats is also great. No wonder it's called the Nissan "big sofa". The panoramic sunroof looks great, but it gets a bit sunny, so I installed the sunshade the manufacturer gave me right after leaving the 4S store. In terms of configuration, it has most of what it should have, but it lacks my favorite feature of the rear - view mirror automatically tilting down when reversing. My previous car had this function, and I could see the curb when parking. Also, the car horn doesn't sound good. The original one was a snail horn, so I replaced it without hesitation. (Be careful when unscrewing the screws, as they're easy to strip.)
Driving Experience: It's very easy to drive. There isn't much difference between the Comfort mode and the Standard mode and driving a gasoline - powered car. You won't get carsick. After getting the window tint, I drove it on a round - trip 400 - kilometer highway journey. The chassis is very stable. I mostly drove at 130 - 140 km/h. The wind noise is okay, but the tire noise is a bit loud, which might have something to do with the tires. I heard that the tires are prone to blowouts, so I inflated them to 270 kPa. I've driven over 1000 kilometers so far and haven't found any problems!
Range and Energy Consumption: I bought the 625Max. The battery range seemed inaccurate in the first few charges. I could only drive a little over 300 kilometers each time. This range really gave me range anxiety. I charged it 6 times, 3 slow - charges and 3 fast - charges, and it still wasn't accurate. Later, I heard from the car owner group that the battery range would become more accurate over time, so I felt more at ease.
The last time I fully charged the car, the odometer showed 1310 kilometers. With 100% charge, I drove to 1693 kilometers, which means I drove 383 kilometers. There was still 17% charge left, with an estimated 78 - kilometer range (dynamic range). 383 + 78 = 461 kilometers, which is not bad. (The air - conditioner was set at 26¡ãC with the fan on the second speed.) When I drive it for short commutes with the air - conditioner on, it seems to consume more electricity. Today, with 17% dynamic range after a full charge and without aggressive driving, using the custom driving mode, the estimated range has increased. It was 417 kilometers before, then 430 kilometers, and today it's 478 kilometers. When it's not necessary to use the air - conditioner, I think it should be no problem to drive 550 kilometers.
Assisted Driving: Since I'm still getting used to the new car, I plan to try the assisted - driving feature last...
Overall, I'm quite satisfied. The driving experience and the chassis of this joint - venture car are both very good. The driving quality is excellent!

I bought the black one. On the one hand, I think black is more mature. On the other hand, since the lights are black, I feel other colors don't look good. In the end, the actual car looks better than the photos. The front of the car is a bit rounded. Most of the places inside the car that you can touch are made of soft materials, and the touch feeling is great. The ambient lights are okay when turned on, but I don't have much of a pursuit for them, so I turned them off. The interior design is quite simple, which is also the style I like. Given the size of this car, there's nothing much to say about the space; it's spacious enough. Although there's no frunk, the trunk is deep enough for ample storage. Generally, the power of electric cars is greater than that of ordinary fuel cars. Its power adjustment is relatively linear, and it won't suddenly accelerate sharply, which reduces the feeling of motion sickness. It has enough power even on the highway. The steering wheel doesn't feel overly light; it's just right, with precise steering, making U-turns convenient. The chassis is more comfortable than that of the M03. It won't be very bumpy when passing over some potholed roads. I've seen many people on the Internet reporting tire blowouts. I inflated my tires to 270, and I haven't had a blowout after driving for more than half a month. Since it has frameless doors and single-layer glass, the sound insulation in the urban area is okay, but there's still a bit of noise on the highway. It's still acceptable if you turn on some music. The central control large screen is quite smooth at present, but the voice recognition is a bit poor. Many commands fail. It can only recognize precise commands or corresponding names. If there's a slight difference from the menu names in the car system, it won't respond. I basically don't use it anymore, and this aspect needs to be improved. Sometimes when I just start the car, the car system starts a bit slowly several times. It keeps spinning, and the interface doesn't appear until a few minutes later. The power consumption is just so-so. Under the current usage condition, it's about 15 - 16 with the air conditioner on. I tried driving without the air conditioner on a few cooler days, and it could reach 12 - 13. But usually, the air conditioner has to be turned on, and this performance is a bit lower. They say the power consumption data will be more accurate after several more charges. This remains to be observed, and it might just be like this. Generally speaking, I'm very satisfied with this car. Its appearance and space are both okay, and the car - using cost is low. I basically use the slow - charging at home, which costs only 0.25 yuan per kilowatt - hour. It's really cost - saving!

[Interior]
I chose the elegant gray color myself. Although I really like the snow-white color. But there's only an option of a color combination of snow-white and forest green. Although it looks nice, it's really not suitable for me.
The interior uses a color combination of dark and light gray. The whole car is made of suede and leather materials. Basically, except for the hard parts that your feet might kick, other parts you touch are made of soft materials.

[Spatial Performance]
I'm 1.7 meters tall. After adjusting the seat position, there's about three fingers' width of headroom. In the back row, there's a bit more than one and a half fists of space from the seat. I'm quite satisfied with the space for this type of car. The only drawback is that you can't put your feet under the front seats in the back row, which is a bit awkward. But fortunately, the overall space is big enough, so it doesn't matter much.

[Intelligent Cockpit]
The Max version uses the 8295P chip. So far, I haven't encountered any issues with the car's infotainment system freezing or lagging.
The software available is fairly comprehensive. I usually use Amap and QQ Music on my phone, and now I can use them seamlessly on the car's infotainment system. It's a pity that NetEase Cloud Music isn't available.
I use an iPhone, so the fact that the car's infotainment system supports CarPlay is a plus for me. I can use Siri to give commands to the phone apps. However, the car's infotainment system itself is fully functional, so I mainly use the built - in applications.

[Endurance and Energy Consumption]
I haven't been driving it for long. I've driven less than 200 km in two weeks. With the air - conditioner set at 25 degrees, on a route that's half city roads and half expressways, the average energy consumption shown on the display is around 14. Actually, I feel that when the assisted driving is on, the energy consumption can drop to around 12. Maybe I need to practice my driving skills more.
Also, the Sentry Mode does consume a lot of electricity. It uses about 7 - 8% of the battery per day. I wonder if it's the same for other models.

[Charging Time]
There's a XPeng S4 super - fast charging station near my home, with a rated power of 360 kW. When charging from 20%, the peak power can reach 184 kW. It only takes 16 minutes to charge from 20% to 80%. From 80% to 95%, although the power decreases, it still only takes 18 minutes. I'm very satisfied with the charging speed.

[Most Satisfied]
1. The exterior design is very simple. Combined with the light groups, it has a technological feel typical of new - generation automakers without being over - the - top.
2. The seats are really comfortable. Even after driving for a long time, my back and buttocks never get hot and stuffy.
3. The highway assisted driving and automatic parking functions work very stably without any problems.

[Least Satisfied]
1. The dash - cam can only save 50 minutes of video, which is too short. You can't manually record and save emergency videos either.
2. There are still some promised features in the car's infotainment system that are yet to be updated (memory navigation, memory parking, customizable wallpapers, etc.).
3. The fridge in the armrest box can only be opened from the driver's side. It's a bit of a hassle for the passenger in the front - passenger seat to reach for things.
