"SAIC also doesn't know what to market, everything is on", the rider complained.
Yes, on the day of the launch of the Zhiji L7, it broke the record held by the Porsche Taycan for 598 days - the Guinness Book of Laws record of "the longest drift distance for electric vehicles".
Regardless of marketing, as a new energy vehicle brand created in 2021, Zhiji dares to call out the old brands in Europe and the United States, and also dares to leave a name in the drift project that tests the control and stability, which shows the strength and courage of Zhiji.
Zhiji L7 starts at 368,800, positioning medium and large cars, is considered to be the "high-end bureau", for the car friends hotly discussed benchmarking - Tesla Model 3P, Weilai ET7, Zhiji L7 and what kind of product power?
Focus on the coupe style of driving control
From the appearance of the coupe style, the Zhiji L7 focuses on the driving control. Compared with the Model 3P and ET7 in terms of configuration, the Zhiji L7 is obviously oriented to driving control.
Among the three cars, the Zhiji L7 is the only one that adopts a lightweight all-aluminum structure chassis, which effectively reduces the weight and center of gravity of the body, and cooperates with the 50:50 front and rear axle load ratio, which is conducive to the improvement of driving control.
Different from the ET7 using air suspension, Zhiji L7 adopts CDC dynamic electronic control suspension system, which can adjust the suspension hardness accordingly according to the driving conditions such as cornering and braking, and the comfort is guaranteed while optimizing the driving control experience. The Model 3P has neither air suspension nor suspension adjustment system.
The smaller the turning radius, the better the maneuverability of the model. The ZF four-wheel steering system enables the ZF L7 to achieve a minimum turning radius of 5.4m, which is less than the ET7's 6.2m.
Zhiji L7's excellent braking distance and anti-rollover ability are a strong guarantee for its driving control. The braking distance of 32.69m is the shortest of the three models; the anti-rollover ability is more than five-star level, whether it is braking, cornering, overtaking can be stable and calm.
Zhiji L7 power up to the same level, its maximum power of 425kW, peak torque of 725N·m, higher than the Model 3P, slightly inferior to the ET7 first version, but the straight waterfall oil-cooled motor can bring a good heat dissipation effect to the L7 motor. The 615km battery life can meet the daily commuting and suburban travel needs.
Low wind resistance keeps power and driving control targeted
For the driver-oriented Zhiji L7, the aerodynamic design makes its wind resistance ability particularly prominent. In the test of the Wind Tunnel Center of Chongqing China Auto Research Institute, the L7 obtained the ultra-low drag coefficient certification of 0.21Cd, which is the top three level of the world's mass production vehicles, and even the Model 3 with a wind resistance coefficient of 0.23 is dwarfed, and the low wind resistance makes the L7's surging power and flexible driving control targeted.
The appearance shape and body proportion of the car have an impact on air resistance accounted for 40%, and low wind resistance energy saving and consumption reduction are better. Zhiji L7 body shape is smooth and adopts ultra-low body, the center of gravity height is only 490mm, the industry's first mass-produced horizontal battery cell solution is used, which effectively reduces the body center of gravity.
Coordinated with the ultra-low center of gravity is the ultra-low hood, the front of the car has a strong sense of dive, the active air intake grille, which can actively adjust the degree of opening and closing according to the driving conditions to reduce the wind resistance; the tail wing is slightly raised, guiding the air flow up and improving the tail turbulence, improving the downforce and grip when the rear is driving at high speed; the wheel hub also uses aerodynamic design to effectively improve the turbulence near the wheel.
The exterior of the coupe + the simple and restrained interior of the sense of technology
Zhiji L7 coupe style complements its driving control orientation, and its appearance has created sufficient momentum for its coupe style, even if it is on the same stage with Tesla Model 3 and Weilai ET7, Zhiji L7 is enough to attract attention.
The most eye-catching is the fierce fantasy of the daytime running lights, like the Greek letter "∑". The front face is closed design, and the ultra-low hood in coordination with the ultra-low body makes the front of the car feel extremely subductive. The side is simple and slender, with frameless doors, rear privacy windows and hidden door handles, and the roof is designed with a dynamic slipback design, which makes the transition to the rear of the car very smooth.
The body size of 5098*1960*1485mm and the wheelbase of 3100mm make the Zhiji L7 have a spacious longitudinal body space than Tesla Model 3 and NIO ET7, the horizontal body space is better than the Model 3, and the overall interior space and comfort are significantly better than the Model 3.
Among the three cars, the interior of the Zhiji L7 is very technological, but it is a simple and restrained style. The center console of Dalian screen is equipped with three liftable 2K screens, the instrument and central control are 26.3 inches, the co-driver screen is 12.3 inches, the central channel suspension vertical screen is 12.8 inches, and the IM OS intelligent interaction system is embedded in the vehicle system.
In terms of assisted driving, the Zhiji L7 is full of materials and rich in functions. The hardware contains 32 high-performance perception hardware, which can be upgraded to long-distance high-precision lidar and intelligent driving domain controller high-computing power Orin chip. In terms of assisted driving, it can realize functions such as remote control moving, memory parking, valet parking, traffic light start and stop, pilot assistance, and super assisted driving.
"Entry is the top match" on the wisdom of the L7 is not exaggerated, compared to the L7 Pro version, only less solid wood door trim, the main driver intelligent automatic door, front and rear interaction lights, etc., but other configurations and Pro version of the basic same, especially with the driving control orientation related configuration, without any compromise, all-wheel steering, high-power motor and other configurations are readily available.
The Zhiji L7, which starts at 368,800, is self-evident compared with the Tesla Model 3P and NIO ET7 premiere versions.
