the m7 is a model with very good sales performance in the current new energy suv market. compared with the previous old models, its biggest change is the lower price threshold. for a model that focuses on the family car market, the price will largely determine the sales trend of a new car. so how does the 2024 m7 ultra perform in terms of daily practicality? this issue of "daily practicality test report" will answer you.

test vehicle: 2024 new m7 ultra 5-seat 4wd smart driving edition

official guide price: 309,800 yuan

1. functional configuration test

the evaluation car is equipped with a keyless entry function. when the driver approaches the vehicle with the smart key, the door handle will unlock and pop up automatically. when you need to lock the car, you only need to take the smart key out of the car and it will lock automatically. the actual unlocking and locking process is very smooth. there is no one-touch start button in the car. after the door is unlocked, the vehicle will start automatically and can be driven directly. at the same time, the evaluation car is also equipped with bluetooth keys and nfc/rfid keys.

the trunk can be opened in four ways: the central control screen icon, voice, external buttons and remote control key. it is simple and convenient to operate, and its practicality performance meets expectations.

the opening switch of the engine hood is located at the lower left of the front of the driver's seat. to open it, you need to pull the switch inside the car once, then flip the switch inside the engine hood and lift it up. during the operation, since the engine hood is supported by double-sided hydraulic rods, it has good stability and is easy to operate.

for consumers, the height of the door sill from the ground determines the convenience of getting on and off the vehicle to a certain extent. according to the actual test results, the height of the door sill from the ground of the evaluation vehicle is 470mm, which is in the middle level of the same level.

2. comfort configuration test

in terms of seats, the front seat adjustment buttons of the evaluation car are located at the bottom of the side of the seat, and the adjustment buttons are reasonably located. the main driver's seat is equipped with seat memory and has a welcome function, which is quite convenient. at the same time, the front/rear seats support 3-speed heating, 3-speed ventilation and massage functions, and the comfort configuration is satisfactory.

in the main driver's seat test, the distance between the front and rear ends of the evaluation car's driver's seat is 260mm, which is at the middle level in the same class, and the seat has moderate adjustable travel.

the multi-function steering wheel supports manual up/down and forward/backward adjustment. according to actual measurement, the steering wheel can be adjusted up/down by 50mm, which is in the middle of the tested models of the same level. the steering wheel can be adjusted up/down by 11.3°, which is in the upper-middle level of the tested models of the same level.

the rear seats of the test car are equipped with three independent headrests, all of which support up and down adjustment. the size of the middle headrest is not much different from the headrests on both sides, which can provide sufficient support for the heads of rear passengers. in addition, the fillings of the three headrests are relatively soft, ensuring a comfortable riding experience.

the front center armrest is neatly shaped and moderately sized, with a soft surface and good pillow comfort. although the center armrest does not support forward and backward movement and angle adjustment, the driver can still lean his elbows on it while driving.

3. multimedia configuration test

the evaluation car is equipped with 4 usb type-c ports and 2 usb type-a ports. among them, the 2 front usb type-c ports and 2 usb type-a ports are located in the front storage compartment, the center armrest and the front glove box respectively; the 2 rear usb type-c ports are located below the rear air-conditioning outlets, with a reasonable layout and good compatibility. in addition, there is a 12v power port in the front center armrest and in the trunk.

in addition, we tested the voltage and current of the usb interface. the voltage and current of the front usb type-c interface were 4.91v and 1.53a respectively. the voltage and current of the rear usb type-c interface were 5v and 0.86a respectively.

as smart car machines become more and more popular, more and more car models are equipped with smart voice assistants. for the "intelligent voice system", we use the following four fixed scripts to judge the performance of the voice interaction system in terms of voice recognition rate, response speed, and controllable functions.

1. i'm a little cold / i'm a little hot

2. open the car window/open the main driver's window/open the sunroof

3. i want to listen to "xxxx" (song title)

4. i want to go to beijing building

after actual testing, the intelligent voice system of the evaluation car can recognize and operate all the above functions. after receiving the command, the system responds quickly. the voice system is more accurate in recognizing fuzzy semantics, and supports four-area voice wake-up recognition, voice wake-up word-free, visible and speakable, and voice continuous recognition. the overall performance has reached the mainstream level in the market.

the evaluation car is equipped with two mobile phone wireless charging plates in front of the front cup holder, with a charging power of 50w and equipped with heat dissipation vents. at the same time, the mobile phone wireless charging function also supports manual shutdown.

4. space configuration test

as an aspect of space testing that is closely related to consumers, in the previous test drive article "far ahead test drive of the 2024 new m7 ultra", we have experienced its riding space, and this time we will evaluate it from the aspects of storage space and its convenience, which are also used in daily life.

the test of the usable space in the car only focuses on the space within reach of the front row, excluding the glove box, central armrest box and other spaces that need to be opened. the test method is to place all the following fixed items in the storage spaces in the front row, and judge the performance of the vehicle storage space by the placement of the fixed items. the fixed items selected for the test are: 2 regular-sized bottles of mineral water, 1 large-screen mobile phone, 1 lipstick, 1 shoulder bag, 1 pair of sunglasses, 1 folding umbrella and 1 pack of regular-sized tissue paper.

after actual testing, except for sunglasses, other fixed items can be reasonably placed in the storage spaces in the front row of the evaluation car. it should be noted that the door storage space of the evaluation car is relatively small, and there is room for further improvement.

the trunk has a regular shape and the floor is fairly flat. the rear seats can be folded down in proportion, which can further expand the trunk space. we also measured the basic values ​​of the trunk of the evaluation car, and the opening length is 990mm; the opening width is 1270mm; the trunk depth is 1080mm; and the vertical height between the trunk floor and the top is 780mm.

5. security configuration test phase

in the vehicle front and rear visibility test, all seats in the vehicle have been adjusted to the lowest position. the measured data have some deviations from normal use by the driver and are for reference only.

in the test of the front vision, we used a 70cm high pile bucket as a reference, and then adjusted the distance between the vehicles until the top of the pile bucket could be seen from the main driver's seat. after testing, the final data measured between the pile bucket and the front of the vehicle was 3.5m, which ranks in the middle and lower levels of the same level.

in the rear vision test, the pile bucket is still fixed and then the vehicle is moved until the upper edge of the pile bucket can be seen. the measured distance is 10.2m, which is at the upper-middle level of the same level of vehicles, and the rear vision blind spot is relatively small.

when testing the rearview mirror's field of view, first ask the tester to stand 10 meters vertically from the left and right rearview mirrors, then start to move to the left and right sides until they appear at the outermost edge of the rearview mirrors on both sides, and measure the lateral distance. then, the angle of the rearview mirror's field of view can be calculated through the formula. the larger the angle, the smaller the blind spot of the rearview mirror's field of view, and vice versa.

the exterior mirrors on both sides of the evaluation car do not use hyperbolic lenses, but they can still provide a good field of view. according to actual measurements, the field of view of the left exterior mirror is 29.7°, and the field of view of the right exterior mirror is 21.9°. the test results of the exterior mirrors on both sides have reached the upper level of the same level.

during the radar test, the rear radar of the evaluation car can sense the rear object at the farthest distance of 1.05m, and the rear radar power performance is quite satisfactory. according to the previous test experience, the closer the continuous beeping stage is to 0.25m, the closer it is to the daily use habits. according to the actual test data, the farthest distance of the rear radar in the continuous beeping stage is 0.26m, which is close to the test experience value.

the front radar can sense objects in front at a maximum distance of 0.95m, and the radar power performance is average; the continuous beeping prompt distance is 0.26m, which is also close to the test experience value.

the evaluation car is equipped with 360-degree panoramic images and a transparent chassis function, which allows the driver to view the road conditions under the vehicle. the image clarity is good, the distortion control around the vehicle is also reasonable, and it is also equipped with parking assistance lines. the practical performance is in line with expectations.

in daily use, vehicles often encounter turning or u-turns. at this time, the steering flexibility of the vehicle is very important. knowing the road width required for the car to turn around on the spot can help you know the situation and avoid dangerous situations such as scratches. after actual testing, the minimum road width for the evaluation car to turn around on the spot is 12.1m, which is at the middle and lower level of the same level.

car handles are very necessary for people with limited mobility, and they can also help passengers stay safe on bumpy roads. in addition to the main driver's door, all other doors of the evaluation car are equipped with handles.

6. charging test

it should be noted that the battery level of the test vehicle was low and it was unable to run in pure electric mode, so the pure electric endurance performance could not be effectively tested. in the charging efficiency test, the tester used a fast charging pile to charge for 10 minutes (peak power consumption), and the battery level was charged from 9% to 14%, and the cruising range increased by 9km, which was basically consistent with the time estimated by the vehicle computer.

summarize:

in terms of sales, the m7 has successfully ranked among the top sales in its market segment. from the actual evaluation, the evaluation car performed well in voice control and can bring users a good car experience. however, the evaluation car also has the disadvantage of a large blind spot in the front field of vision, and there is room for improvement. overall, the performance of the 2024 m7 ultra in terms of comprehensive product strength is in line with expectations, and it is a new energy suv worth buying.
