Seeing that the days are getting closer and closer to the Lunar New Year, I believe that friends with sufficient budgets can no longer hold back the excitement of replacing or buying a new car. To give you some options for those who are ready to buy a car this year, let's take a look at whether the Zhiji L6, which will be launched in the first quarter of 2024, can make your eyes shine.
As the fourth model of the Zhiji brand, the Zhiji L6 is positioned as a mid-size sedan, and has completed the declaration work of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology at the beginning of the year. Compared with the mainstream mid-size cars on the market, the Zhiji L6 has a slight advantage in size data, with a wheelbase of 2950 mm, with slender body proportions and outstanding appearance. Combined with the information of the declaration map, let's briefly review the appearance of the Zhiji L6.
The new car as a whole continues the design characteristics of the Zhiji family, with a wide grille decoration that amplifies the visual impact of the front face, a closed design of the smoked black air duct, and a sharp shape of the headlight group, which further enhances the momentum of the front face. The C-shaped deflector extends outward along the front lip under the front face, and the hood design with a concave and convex exterior makes it fully aggressive.
From the side of the body, the new car adopts the same streamlined coupe style as the Zhiji L7, with slightly expanding wheel arch lines at the front and rear, showing the wide-body double-shoulder effect common in luxury medium and large cars. In terms of dimensions, the length, width and height of this car are: 4931/1960/1474 mm, and the wheelbase is 2950 mm. In terms of size, the length of Zhiji L6 is eye-catching in the same class, as a comparison, the length, width and height of ZEEKR 007 are: 4865/1900/1450 mm, wheelbase 2928 mm.
From the perspective of the rear part, the outline of the rear of the new car continues the family design style as a whole, the upturned ducktail is lowered down, and the through-type LED taillights are flat trapezoidal shapes, which should be recognizable after lighting. In addition, the rear envelope shape of the new car is unified with the front envelope design, all of which are embellished with C-shaped blackened decorative strips, and the license plate area is a flat trapezoidal design, which enhances the sportiness of the vehicle.
Shifting your gaze to the interior, it's no exaggeration to say that the interior of the Zhiji L6 is a complete replica of the LS6, and you can find exactly the same design elements in the car, including but not limited to a continuous triple screen, a half-spoke shaped steering wheel, and a longitudinal control screen layout. In addition, the interior materials used in the new car are also familiar to us, with a large area of light-colored interior design with wood-grain-like trim panels to create a simple and subtle interior texture.
In terms of configuration, the Zhiji L6 will be offered with a high-end intelligent driving version with a lidar configuration, and at the same time, there is also a distinction in the lighting configuration, and the headlights of the high-end version add an irregular ring light strip on the outside of the high and low beam lenses, which enhances the refinement of the headlights. In addition, the new car can also be equipped with an optional B-pillar camera, the addition of this configuration, which is likely to be related to the identification and unlocking of the outside of the car. In terms of other configurations, we also see that the new car can be equipped with optional exterior mirror bases, the difference between the rim shape of the performance version and the standard version, and the half-spoke steering wheel is likely to be in the optional configuration.
In terms of power, the Zhiji L6 will be equipped with a drive motor with a maximum power of 200kW/379kW respectively, and the four-wheel drive performance version refers to the previous official technology conference, and the new car accelerates to 2 seconds. As a comparison, ZEEKR 007 is equipped with a self-developed motor configuration, the rear-wheel drive version is equipped with a motor with a maximum power of 310kW, and the four-wheel drive version is equipped with a set of front-mounted motors with a maximum power of 165kW on the basis of the rear-wheel drive motor configuration. If you just compare the performance, the comparison can be seen that the new car does not necessarily have much advantage in front of the Extreme Krypton 007, after all, the consumer comparison is the power configuration of the low-end model.
However, considering that ZEEKR 007 only has a high configuration of 800V electrical architecture, it is not ruled out that Zhiji L6 will use the whole system of 800V architecture as a promotional selling point, but in fact, the 800V electrical platform and fast charging performance are for the actual domestic pure electric vehicle scene, because the supporting 800V supercharging pile has not yet been popularized, so the practical value is not large.
epilogue
Judging from the recent time, the new energy vehicle market of China's own brand cars is gradually rising, and friends who are concerned about the domestic medium-sized car market must have found that from BYD Seal to NIO ET5, and then to the launch of Roewe D7 and ZEEKR 007, the Chinese market has given a great response to new energy medium-sized cars. Therefore, in terms of the product power of the Zhiji L6, if the pricing strategy of the new car is eye-catching enough, it is believed that it will attract a lot of attention after the subsequent launch. Finally, do you think that in the new energy mid-size sedan market, how much is the price of the Zhiji L6 to be competitive?
