Because the front face of the new car does not need to dissipate heat to the engine, it adopts the closed intake grille commonly used on pure electric models, although there is no intake grille that will make the overall front face appear thin, but the design of zhiji L7 is very bold and public. The most eye-catching thing about Zhiji L7 is the "Σ" shaped headlights, which are composed of LED light sources, and the 2.6 million pixel DLP projection is added inside, as well as 5,000 LED ISC pixel signal lights, which have display and projection functions, can display some custom lamp language, and improve driving safety.

At last
How, these models of independent brands can be described as having the potential to explode, whether it is the design or configuration of power is not worse than the joint venture, and some even have a phenomenon of transcendence. For example, the most direct competitor of the Tank 500 is the Toyota Prado, and the competitor of the SAIC Maxus MIFA is the Honda Odyssey, Toyota Xena and so on. At this stage, independent brands can confront joint ventures or imported brands. And independent car companies in China in the next 3-5 years will have those new cars released, so that every car people are full of imagination.
