Recently, IM Zhiji, a high-end intelligent pure tram brand jointly created by SAIC Motor, Zhangjiang Hi-Tech and Alibaba, officially listed its first car Zhiji L7 on March 29, and the new car will start delivery work this month. It is worth mentioning that as early as last December, the Zhiji L7 has delivered 200 Beta Experience models.
Although it is a experience version of the model, it is understood that this batch of experience version models is not handed over to the hands of real car owners, but most of them are delivered to product experts and engineers, and only a small number of angel wheel and A wheel users have the opportunity to get the car. That is to say, this batch of experience models is actually the final test version handed over to professionals, used as a data collection and update, and the data will be given to the manufacturer to adjust the vehicle later, so it is not a real delivery.
After Zhiji announced the price of 408,800 yuan, not only did Xiaobian feel a little worried, but also what kind of advantages Zhiji had for the opponents currently on the market. And as zhiji's first pure electric car, the price is more than 400,000 yuan, will it be a little too high, it is difficult to impress consumers?
Take Tesla and "Wei Xiaoli" four competitors. Tesla has a good brand effect and hardware, Weilai has a good service management system, Xiaopeng has its own intelligence and innovative technology, and the ideal is also very accurate in user positioning.
If Zhiji L7 wants to occupy a place in the high-end new energy market, it must of course show its own unique positioning. From the perspective of official publicity, Zhiji L7 is most worthy of competing with other brands or its driving experience, from its data point of view, Zhiji L7's 100 km acceleration is only 3.87 seconds, the maximum power is 425kW, and the maximum torque is 725N·m.
As the saying goes, "a good horse with a good saddle", the Zhiji L7 is equipped with Brembo's brake system, and the tire specifications with the front wheel 245/40 R20 rear wheel 275/35 R20, as well as the high-performance tires of electric vehicles customized exclusively for Pirelli P zero, these are important factors to improve the performance of the vehicle.
Of course, these configurations are only one of the factors that enhance the driving experience, and the biggest highlight is its chassis tuning. It is reported that the chassis of zhiji L7 is jointly developed and tuned with the Williams team, and the Williams team is a team that plays for the world's top car race F1, and there is no doubt about the chassis performance tuning.
Of course, it can be matched with the chassis hardware of F1 master tuning, and it is certainly not ordinary, zhiji L7 is equipped with the same four-wheel steering technology of Mercedes-Benz S-class, and the CDC full-road condition electronic control intelligent damping suspension of millisecond response.
In terms of chassis tuning, Zhiji L7 compared to Tesla and "Wei Xiaoli" does have a superiority, showing its own unique positioning, as a medium and large pure electric car, more than two tons of car weight, in the chassis tuning is still very difficult, can show a unique positioning in the sense of driving control, in this regard Xiaobian believes that compared to competitors is an advantage.
For a medium-sized pure electric car, some people may question that it is big and heavy, is it necessary to go to such great lengths in the sense of control? I think it is necessary precisely because it is big, heavy and fast, and it lacks flexibility, so it is necessary to spend a lot of money to send it to the Uk to "study". A large car with better handling and flexibility not only brings us pleasure in driving, but also makes it easier for the driver to cope with emergencies (such as emergency lane changes, avoidance) during driving.
Write at the end
In general, in terms of the configuration of Zhiji L7, it is in line with the pricing of 408,800 yuan, but for my personal opinion, if the price can be reduced slightly, controlled within 400,000, will the price of thirty be more attractive to consumers? So what do you think, as the debut of SAIC Motor in the era of electrification, how will the market performance of zhiji L7 be after its listing?
