This year, the growth rate of new energy vehicles has exceeded the expectations of many people, on the one hand, consumer cognition is changing rapidly, on the other hand, it is also because the product force is getting stronger and stronger. Zero-run cars have also achieved good sales this year, with their T03 sales exceeding 30,000 units by the end of November, and orders in November are close to 10,000 units. The third model, the C11, which was recently launched, also received more than 7,000 orders in a short period of time, which was eye-catching. Zero-run C11 is a medium-sized pure electric SUV with a price range of 159,800-199,800 yuan. Similar to T03, it is very cost-effective, in addition to the size is large enough, the battery life is considerable, the configuration is also sufficient, and it is far ahead in digital interaction and intelligent driving assistance. Recently, we took a real shot of the 2021 Premium Edition (hereinafter referred to as Zero Run C11) at the Shenzhen Zero Run Auto Yifangcheng flagship store to see its actual performance.
New car features:
1. Based on the zero-run C architecture, it is the first SUV model of zero-run automobile
2. The appearance continues the C-more concept car style, and the whole car is equipped with 28 sensors
3. The carriage adopts a triple screen layout and is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon's third-generation digital cockpit platform
4. Equipped with the self-developed Lingxin 01 chip, the computing power reaches 8.4Tops, and the driver assistance can be upgraded to L3 level
5. Using single motor rear drive and dual motor four-wheel drive, NEDC comprehensive endurance is divided into 510km, 550km, 610km
The C11 is based on the zero-run C architecture, continuing the zero-run C-more concept car style, and strives to be simple in appearance and size to reach the standard mid-level SUV level. There are 8 kinds of body colors of magnetic gray, night eye blue, light white, metallic black, coral orange, new oxygen green, galaxy silver, walden green, and the interior provides 3 kinds of black, carbon ash + lime, rock lime + fog purple.
It uses the closed front face commonly found in electric vehicles, but the shape is very designed. The front cover and the headlights are located on the same curved surface, which shows a strong sense of downward pressure, and the dividing line of the front surface is located above the license plate frame, and the lower part adopts a concave shape, which is convenient for directing the front airflow to the air deflection on both sides, which can reduce the wind resistance. The top head is connected by a through-strip, much like a through-line daylight, but it can't actually be lit in the middle. The bottom of the license plate frame has an integrated front camera, the lower grille center has integrated millimeter wave radar, and the bottom has a three-dimensional front lip and silver trim strips.
The use of LED daily running light strip to divide the main light group into two layers, the interior has a juxtaposed multi-light cavity, standard LED light source, support automatic lighting.
The sides maintain a sleek style, and the lines and surfaces are smooth and look harmonious. The wheelbase length of the 2930mm is sufficient, but the front and rear overhangs are relatively short, reflecting the layout advantages of the pure electric platform, and the body length is only 4750mm. The black roof is reinforced by chrome window lines, and the rear is made of privacy glass for added privacy. Cameras are set up on both the front fenders and the B-pillar, a layout similar to Tesla's, with a visual perception scheme close to Tesla's.

The body size is 4750/1905/1675mm in length, width and height, and the wheelbase is 2930mm. In the same price segment, SUVs that can reach intermediate size are very rare, WM W6 is counted as one, and comparing the body parameters can find that the latter can only be regarded as a compact + class, and can not be regarded as a qualified opponent.
The exterior mirrors feature two-tone panels, the horizontal brackets are chrome-plated to match the chrome window lines, and the camera integrated at the bottom is obvious but not ugly. The upper shroud has a sloping ridge that gives different reflective effects, and side rotors are integrated at the junction of the two. All series are equipped with electric adjustment, folding, memory, heating, automatic rolldown and automatic folding of locking cars as standard.
The door handles are pop-up concealed, with keyless entry to the driver's seat as standard, making it ideal to upgrade to a front double door.
In order to improve the sense of grade, the use of borderless doors, open doors appear very windy, but also use double glass to reduce noise. The doors are unlocked with electronic keys (top left), but the mechanical unlock handle (top right) is retained to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
The front and rear wheels are medium-sized with 235/60 R18. If the optional comfort full optional bag (12500 yuan), the tire upgrade to 245/45 R20, the 20-inch rim and the large body appear more coordinated, but not the common semi-closed type on the new forces, but the two-color thin banner, with the special tires of the horse brand SUV more sporty.
The tail shape is decent, the body lift makes the tail window height low, the wrap-around tail wing is increased to reduce the wind resistance, and under many wind resistance reduction measures, the wind resistance coefficient of the whole vehicle is 0.282Cd, which is excellent. There is also an excessive platform between the tail window and the body, and there is some feeling of a coupe SUV. The through-type taillights feature double-layer strips with oval strips on both sides for increased legibility. The black bumper has a simple shape and blends in with the trapezoidal plate frame, and the bottom adds a skid plate.
The layout of the carriage is very interesting, the layout of the combination of square circles is very in line with the characteristics of Chinese culture, the three screens are square, and the oval air outlet, round cup holder and steering wheel have a large number of circular elements, which are quite harmonious when combined. The 10.25-inch full LCD dashboard, 12.8-inch central control screen and 10.25-inch co-driver special screen make the cabin highly digitized, and the central control screen is not on the same level as the two side screens, and the protruding arrangement is easy to touch.

The left side is mainly used to control the driver assistance system, and the 28 sensor hardware settings are obviously not L2 level assistance, of course, at this stage, it is only L2 level. It is worth mentioning that the zero-run driver assistance system is self-developed, the camera in the hardware is also self-produced, they independently developed the Lingxin 01 driving chip, the computing power reached 8.4Tops, can access 12-way camera, laying the foundation for the future L3 level assistance.
The whole series is equipped with a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument as standard, the UI style is simple, and the interface is divided into three areas: left, middle and right. With a navigation map on the left, driver assistance information in the middle, and a multimedia menu on the right, it looks very intuitive.
The 12.2-inch central control screen is also the standard of the whole series, equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon's third-generation digital cockpit platform, which integrates various hardware controls of the vehicle, such as air conditioning, atmosphere lights, tailgates, etc., and the use of vehicle pattern display is also more intuitive.

It can also help set up navigation, view real-time traffic conditions, and synchronize the set navigation information directly to the central screen to achieve dual-screen interoperability. Of course, you can also turn on the built-in online video, music and mobile phone projection screen so that the co-pilot can enjoy his own entertainment time.
The position of the central air outlet is relatively low, and the double oval looks more stylish. Due to the use of pocket blocks, the central handrail area becomes a pure storage space, and there is a deep storage compartment under the wood grain cover in front, with built-in dual USB, SD card and 12V power supply; the rear is a mobile phone storage board with wireless charging, and a separate double circular cup holder.

In terms of chassis, the suspension combination of front double wishbone independent + rear five linkage independent is adopted, and some aluminum alloy swing arms, connecting rods and hollow front stabilizer bars are used to achieve the purpose of lightweighting and improving the handling stability of the vehicle.
Kandi Comments:
In the case of increasingly hot competition in new energy vehicles, there will inevitably be price turbulence catfish, and it seems that zero run wants to play this role. Their T03 has won market recognition with long endurance and high configuration, and this time C11 competes with the same strategy. In the price segment of 150,000-200,000, in fact, there is no mid-level SUV with a range of more than 500km, which fills the gap in the market and gives a more realistic configuration, such as three large screens, driver assistance systems, and good leather seats, showing their advantages in cost. It is recommended that users who like zero run C11 must remember to bring a comfortable fully equipped optional bag, which is indeed very cost-effective.
