Founded on December 25, 2020, IM Zhiji, a high-end intelligent pure electric vehicle brand, is a new user-oriented automobile science and technology innovation company jointly built by SAIC Motor, Zhangjiang Hi-Tech and Alibaba Group, and is committed to becoming a realizer of the travel revolution in the intelligent era.
On April 17, Zhiji Automobile held a new car conference, and officially announced that the first new car Zhiji L7 was officially launched. Prior to this, on March 31, the Zhiji L7 has been launched in the Pro version, priced at 408,800 yuan, while the L7 Dynamic version listed this time has been reduced to 368,800 yuan. At present, there are 2 models of zhiji L7 on sale.
At the press conference, Zhiji Automobile announced the record of Zhiji L7 continuous drift of 1 hour and 6 minutes, 258 laps, 43.646 kilometers, successfully removed the new crown with the longest drift distance, and broke the record of 598 days held by Porsche Taycan - Guinness "the longest drift distance of electric vehicles" record.
A combination of minimalism and aesthetics
Zhiji L7 adopts the design of water droplet curve, the overall design is very futuristic and technological, and its front face shape adopts a closed grille design, and the sense of line is more rounded, giving people a comfortable overall feeling. The headlights group adopts the brand-symbolized Icon-M logo and uses intelligent DLP daytime running lights, which contrast with the simple surface, bringing strong recognition and visual impact to the original simple front face.
The slender body is further strengthened by the sharply inclined A-pillar, and the wind resistance coefficient is only 0.21. The straight waistline extends all the way to the rear of the car. At the same time, the exaggerated size of the rim, with all the bright black trim strips, makes the whole car look more youthful and sporty. At the rear of the car, the rear windshield area is very large, and the shape of the slipback further increases the sense of movement of the whole vehicle, while the design of integrating the transverse taillights and the tail wing is sufficiently technological. The bottom bumper shape is also particularly sporty, with integrated diffusers and deflectors for high-performance positioning.
The fusion of minimalism and technology
In terms of interior, the biggest feeling of Zhiji L7 is the minimalist sense of technology. The two sets of large screens above and below the central control area are the core elements, the hidden air conditioner outlet, the physical buttons that are completely canceled, the steering wheel with a special shape, and the pure white color scheme make the interior of the vehicle look very futuristic sci-fi.
The world's first 39-inch giant smart scene screen looks very shocking, the screen resolution reaches 4320X720 and 1920X720, In-cell technology makes the look and feel more transparent, the entire screen can achieve intelligent lifting, cross-screen interaction.
In addition, its materials are also comparable to the Million Luxury Car, and the L7 Dynamic of 368,800 yuan uses the "net taste workshop" of Zhiji Automobile, allowing zhiji L7 Dynamic users to enjoy the net taste space 180 days in advance. In terms of the quietness that the first-class model attaches the most importance to, the Zhiji L7 Dynamic also has the highest level of NVH certification, with 9 double-layer soundproof glass, equipped with high-performance silent tires and silent motors, perfectly creating a quiet cockpit.
Minimalist yet technological
The hardware of the Zhiji L7 is composed of NVIDIA Xavier chip and Qualcomm 8155 chip. NVIDIA Xavier chip is currently the most powerful intelligent driving chip, using a 12nm process, hash rate of 30TOPS, up to support L4/L5 level automatic driving function. The single-chip computing power is even stronger than Tesla's self-developed FSD chip. The L7 is also designed to protect NVIDIA's next-generation intelligent driving chip, orin, to ensure rapid adoption when the chip is put into production.
Zhiji L7 highlight configuration such as Carlog, 3D CHIME sound, DLP + ISC intelligent lighting system design, reflecting the people-oriented concept, Zhiji L7 roof camera In order to achieve The Carlog function, Zhiji L7 is equipped with three 48 million pixel cameras on the roof, which can replace users to find the best shooting angle and timing, and capture the most meaningful and wonderful pictures recorded.
The 3D CHIME sound combines reversing radar and turn signal tones with position information to achieve the most stereoscopic reproduction of the sound outside the car. That is to say, the user can easily confirm the specific orientation of the obstacle object through the prompt tone of the reversing radar, which not only ensures safety but also does not add additional burden to the user DLP+ISC. Intelligent lighting system DLP+ ISC intelligent lighting system, for the first time in the industry to help users achieve communication inside and outside the car, in an emergency, the intelligent lighting system can automatically identify the driving status, and timely remind the information through the tail light to prompt the rear car.
In terms of handling, the Zhiji L7 is also equipped with a lightweight all-aluminum chassis, the suspension uses a combination of front double wishbones and rear multi-link independent suspension, and the tuning of the vehicle chassis is carefully tuned by WAE Williams Prospect Engineering, the world's top engineering team with the well-known Williams team in F1. It is worth mentioning that the Zhiji L7 is also equipped with a rear wheel steering system, which can achieve a total of 12 ° steering in both directions.
Zhiji L7 will take the lead in launching a dual-motor version of the model, the two motors are located in the front and rear of the car, so it also realizes the full drive function, the comprehensive power output of the two motors is as high as 400Kw, 700N·m, and the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is only 3.9 seconds. In terms of battery life, the NEDC mileage of the Zhiji L7 is 615 kilometers, in order to further enhance the convenience, the wireless charging system and intelligent parking technology have been combined, so that the vehicle can independently complete the parking and open wireless charging, which is very intelligent.
Auto network review: After the release of Zhiji L7, the high-end market of domestic new energy models has another competitive opponent, and today, with the fierce competition of domestic new energy vehicles, only by continuously improving their own strength and ingenious design concepts can they be recognized by consumers now. Judging from this conference, the competitiveness of this new car of Zhiji L7 should not be underestimated, as more and more new players continue to pour into the new energy high-end market, the market will be more lively in the next one to two years.
