3 · Everyday experience

What is the Frigate 07 like to drive and use every day?

Only current English content and deterministic published facts are shown. Dimensions are not treated as proof of ride comfort.

Driving & performance

Performance changes meaningfully with trim choice.

Published power, acceleration and drivetrain show how performance changes across trims; they do not replace an untranslated road-test verdict.

Published evidence

  • Published power spans 145–295 kW across current trims.
  • Published 0–100 km/h times span 4.7–8.9 sec 0–100 km/h.
  • Drivetrain choices: All-wheel drive / Front-wheel drive.
  • The acceleration feels smooth and gradual, sufficient for daily overtaking without being aggressive; the steering is light, and the front end response is relatively slow, making it a typical SUV with a focus on comfort.
  • Starting from a stoplight in the city is easy, and it's less likely to be cut off.
  • The engine noise is clearly transmitted into the car during rapid acceleration.

Cabin comfort

Core comfort equipment is consistent across the lineup.

This conclusion uses only direct seat, suspension and climate equipment. Body dimensions are not treated as proof of ride comfort.

Published evidence

  • Second-row functions — Standard across all trims.
  • Suspension — Standard across all trims.
  • Climate control — Standard across all trims.
  • The chassis shock absorption is soft, effectively absorbing both large and small bumps, ensuring high ride comfort. The rear legroom is exceptionally spacious, making it comfortable for three passengers without feeling cramped.
  • Passengers are less likely to get carsick during long journeys.
  • On roads with continuous undulations, the vehicle body may feel more shaky.

Space & practicality

Paying more does not buy a larger body or longer wheelbase.

All current trims use the same key body dimensions, so trim choice changes equipment and performance rather than cabin size.

Published evidence

  • Seating capacity: 5 seats.
  • Body length: 4,820 mm, unchanged by trim.
  • Wheelbase: 2,820 mm, unchanged by trim.
  • Audio system — Standard across all trims.
  • Keyless access — Standard across all trims.
  • The fast charging speed is decent, and it supports external discharge, but the slow charging power is not high; the trunk is neat and spacious, and the rear seats can be folded down to create a large flat surface.
  • The fast charging port is conveniently located and supports fast charging, making it feasible for temporary power replenishment.
  • Fast charging power of 40kW is relatively slow compared to new energy vehicle models.

Smart tech & daily use

Smart and convenience features vary by trim.

Only formally defined connected, assistance, parking and display parameters are included.

Published evidence

  • Driver assistance — Available on some trims.
  • Parking assistance — Available on some trims.
  • Center screen — Standard across all trims.
  • Head-up display — Available on some trims.
  • OTA updates — Standard across all trims.
  • The car's infotainment system operates smoothly and offers a wide range of functions, albeit with occasional lags; its voice recognition rate is high, but its ability to handle continuous conversations is average.
  • Supports OTA upgrades, ensuring constant freshness and functionality.
  • The system's closed nature is inferior to that of mobile phone interconnection, and some functions require account binding.

Reference data

Specs explained

High-value published parameters are shown only where the current visible trims provide them.

China list price

CN¥179,800–CN¥259,800

The published China list-price range shows the entry point and how far upper trims extend. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

WLTC range

82–170 km

A protocol-labelled laboratory rating for comparing trims; it is not a guaranteed real-world distance. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

Battery capacity

18.3–36.8 kWh

Battery capacity helps explain range potential, weight and charging needs. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

DC charging power

40–75 kW

Peak DC power indicates charging capability, while an actual stop also depends on the charging curve and conditions. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

Maximum power

145–295 kW

Published maximum power helps frame acceleration capability and overtaking reserve. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

Maximum torque

316–656 N·m

Torque is one input to initial response; calibration, gearing and traction also matter. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

0–100 km/h

4.7–8.9 sec

A lower published 0–100 km/h time indicates quicker straight-line acceleration. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

Drivetrain

Fwd / awd

Drivetrain changes traction and can separate entry and performance trims. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

Seats

5

Seat count is a capacity fact, not proof of passenger comfort. The published value is the same across all current trims.

Length

4,820 mm

Length affects road footprint and parking space; it does not directly prove cabin room. It is the same across all current trims, so paying more does not change this cabin-packaging dimension.

Width

1,920 mm

Width affects road and parking footprint and may support shoulder room, without proving it. It is the same across all current trims, so paying more does not change this cabin-packaging dimension.

Wheelbase

2,820 mm

Wheelbase is a packaging dimension and is not used alone as a ride-comfort conclusion. It is the same across all current trims, so paying more does not change this cabin-packaging dimension.

Body style

SUV

Body style helps frame access and cargo layout, but exact usability still depends on the vehicle. The published value is the same across all current trims.
