Even if it is "Wei Xiaoli", it has never really worked hard with the BBA, so that Chinese brands can go to the world in the name of "luxury"! Today, Zhiji Auto did it! In the simplest and most homage to the opponent, crush the performance and control that BBA is best at, and open the road to Chinese brand luxury in the electric era!
On February 27th, the Pegasus Circuit, it was already sunset, the media teacher who had passed the subject test and the track for the test drive, stood by the fence in pairs, watching one after another Zhiji L7 speeding by, full of incredible eyes. "Zhiji's goal is to occupy a place in the luxury car market" At the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show, Liu Tao, co-CEO of Zhiji Automobile, had some "big words" and was about to become a reality at this moment.
Zhiji took a small test and broke Tesla's automatic driving
At that time, Zhiji Automobile was still a car brand that had just been officially announced for a few months, which could be described as a fledgling. Liu Tao stood on the podium of the C position of the SAIC Pavilion, calmly facing the media, and announced that the pre-price of the Zhiji L7 was 408,800. In the face of media doubts, Liu Tao responded that "whether it is hardware or software, Zhiji is fully worthy of a luxury brand." "The endorsement of the three major shareholders of SAIC Motor, Zhangjiang Hi-Tech and Alibaba, that is, tens of billions of yuan, let Zhiji naturally have the confidence that others do not have."
The price of 400,000 is not low, which is the price range that traditional luxury brands such as BBA must compete for. With the hot sale of Model 3 at that time, Weilai, Xiaopeng and Ideal also rode this shareholder wind to enter the purchase list of high-end household consumption with high-end electric vehicles, but the domestic 400,000 price range of cars was almost zero. Many media have speculated that Zhiji wants to become China's "Tesla".
This is also justified, after all, at the Shanghai Auto Show global pre-sale conference, Zhiji Automobile not only had the well-known goddess in the field of automatic driving, But also the duration of the IM AD intelligent driving system, which accounted for one-third of the entire conference, and many media speculated that Zhiji wanted to become China's "Tesla". "Tesla has indeed brought a very innovative and revolutionary impact to the industry, but Tesla's most advantageous intelligent driving technology, in China's roads, traffic habits, as well as policies and regulations, Tesla intelligent driving is doomed to not work in China," Liu Tao said.
At the end of June, autohome revealed a video of intelligent driving of the Zhiji IM AD test vehicle, and the market's one-sided high evaluation also proved that zhiji automobile is far beyond people's imagination. Zhiji IM AD to crush the intelligent driving hardware, the whole process of driving algorithm, the whole process of intelligent driving, whether it is from the automatic driving section, the complex scenes faced, or the number of takeovers, the experience of intelligent driving has put the Tesla hammer body incomplete, so that Tesla intelligent driving problems, between the two comparisons, completely exposed to the user, people for the first time found that the original Chinese intelligent driving technology has achieved this point. And this is just a small test of the knife of the zhiji car!
Control the front steel BBA, goodbye to the traditional luxury fuel car
After the self-driving challenge of a series of cities and scenes, it seems a bit low-key, Chengdu Auto Show just continues to consolidate the advantages of intelligent driving, Guangzhou Auto Show is relatively good, exposing the interior and some performance indicators, including wind resistance coefficient 0.21, wae Williams tuning, although the results are bright enough, but compared to Huawei, Xiaomi and other Internet giants began to build cars, Wei Xiaoli's monthly sales and so on is not so sharp compared to.
Until recently, the Zhiji Automobile Track Experience Day opened, the Zhiji L7 configuration locked into production, the spotlight of the automobile circle once again hit the body of the Zhiji car, people seem to have re-recognized the Zhiji, a special obsession with performance and control, while paying tribute to and trying to replace the traditional luxury fuel vehicle Zhiji!
Zhiji L7 power 425kW/725Nm, comparable to 4.0T fuel engine, in contrast to BMW 5 Series, 530Li 2.0T high-power engine 185kW/350Nm, only half of Zhiji power. Even in the number of extreme accelerations that are not easy for everyone to perceive, Zhiji L7 is also a tight seam, with an international patented extreme speed direct cooling technology, supporting more than 10 extreme accelerations, 32.69m of 100 km brake stop, and comprehensively crushing traditional luxury fuel vehicles. I think this is not only an opportunity given by the electric age, but also a concentrated expression of the wisdom of oneself and even the accumulation of technology by SAIC over the years.
In the face of the user's question, "Why doesn't the Zhiji L7 carry air suspension?" Liu Tao is more bluntly said that "the air suspension is very good, but the improvement of the Zhiji L7 is limited, we have CDC, there are double wishbone five linkages, the comfort is not inferior to the air suspension, we have to spend money on the blade", Liu Tao said that the blade is obviously the unique AKC rear wheel steering system of zhiji car.
Why install AKC rear wheel steering system, we all know that the longer the body, the more difficult to turn, especially the narrow road U-turn, it is simply a disaster, and zhiji L7 length 5098mm, wheelbase 3100mm, width of 1960mm standard executive car, and Zhiji car as a driver's car, control flagship this piece is absolutely indispensable. However, the wisdom L7 that makes me feel the most sincere to home can reach 12 degrees of full drive steering, bmw that has always pursued driving control, 7 series rear wheel steering 6 °, Mercedes-Benz S-Class 9 °, Audi A8L two-way total of 10 °, can be more than him in the BBA seems to be maybach S-class.
In addition to the top configuration, another is that Wae Williams has been tuned for 1 year, that is to say, from the stereotype of the Zhiji L7 car, it has directly found the Williams team for chassis joint tuning. "We have to admit that foreign countries, especially the Uk, are better at tuning than we are, because they have trained too many top cars, supercars. Our Zhiji L7 hardware is top-notch, and with their technical blessing, it must be the top"Liu Tao said, "We and Williams are jointly tuned, so that we can empower Zhiji L7 faster and more efficiently." In addition, I think that joint tuning has another advantage, that is, learning, with the accumulation of improvement, I believe that this must be a huge wealth for the technical team of Zhiji. After all, the core technology must be in the hands of the "wise self"!
Zhiji L7 is positioned as the flagship of the new world driving control, it is not difficult to see that Zhiji wants to open up a new world with Zhiji L7, and the old world that is opposed to it is naturally the automobile world built by traditional luxury brands such as BBA for more than 100 years.
From the track test drive experience, to the evaluation of many media friends, the new world that Zhiji wants to open up is already in front of us, and I believe that with the official listing of Zhiji L7 on March 29, and delivery, more and more people will join the new world of Zhiji!
