At the beginning of April, Zhiji Automobile officially released the "super smart sedan" Zhiji L6 and started pre-sales. As a pioneer model for the next generation of smart cars, the Zhiji L6 is equipped with SAIC's cutting-edge technologies, and the Zhiji L6 has the product power to lead the times. Its whole system is equipped with more than 100 top-level configurations such as the Skinkling digital chassis, intelligent four-wheel steering system, ultra-long-range high-precision lidar + NVIDIA Orin X chip, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip, etc.; The first-generation light-year solid-state battery, "quasi-900V super performance platform", "the strongest hurricane motor", etc. are the industry's top scientific and technological vanes; Coupled with high-end intelligent functions such as "No Picture City NOA" and "Future Smart Cabin", what is the high-tech described on paper, the venue test drive tells you the answer.
The test drive on the field not only has the traditional elk test and straight-line acceleration, but also more scene applications, such as how to correct the side parking with the help of L6 intelligence, how to achieve no blind spots in the perspective on rainy nights, and the "crab walking" function.
The Zhiji L6 is equipped with the industry's first "Grey Lizard Digital Chassis", which is equipped with a "super cerebellum" for the first time through the collaborative management of the three-axle and six-degree-of-freedom vehicle movement of the whole vehicle, realizing the joint debugging and joint control of dynamic performance in all dimensions. The "integration of man and vehicle", which allows the vehicle to be extremely flexible, comfortable and safe in various road conditions, is the first technology of truly epoch-making significance.
The Skinkling Digital Chassis defines the ultimate safety empowered by intelligent technology. Its main chip processing speed is 2.5 times faster than that of mainstream chips of the same category in the industry, and nearly 2 billion more instructions are processed per second, allowing the automotive chassis hardware to make decisions according to the digital algorithm. For example, the Zhiji L6 reduces vehicle deviation by about 80% on one-sided roads such as residual snow and stagnant water, and maintains driving stability to the greatest extent. In scenarios that require high-speed emergency avoidance and obstacle avoidance, the Grey Lizard digital chassis has a 30% faster response speed than the traditional ESP system, and it only takes 0.3 seconds to complete the rescue, which means that the superpower of protecting life is implied. In the daily scene of the city, the digital chassis of the Grey Lizard empowers the Zhiji L6 with a more agile and comfortable driving experience. Make the L6 the first car in China that can "crab walk", which can easily cope with the highest frequency pain point of parking, "side parking", and the length of the required parking space is reduced by 11%. The agility of the Zhiji L6 is comparable to that of the small car Volkswagen Polo, which has a wheelbase of only 2.5 meters, and the intelligent four-wheel steering superimposed on the golden small steering ratio, not only has a turning radius of only 4.99 meters, but also fills the number of steering wheel circles in the direction, which is half a circle less than that of ordinary models.
In the driving elk test, the Zhiji L6 equipped with the Grey Lizard digital chassis still has a good performance, you can feel the clear transmission from the chassis, and the coach is very confident sitting in the back row under the control.
Driven by digital technology, the "Future Smart Cabin" has evolved again. Zhiji is the first in the automotive industry to create the DZT virtual and real space dynamic area tracking technology, and the L6 "full-frame digital cockpit screen" integrates the blind filling function and rainy night mode to achieve real-time tracking of traffic hazard information and highlight marks and prompts, helping drivers judge road conditions and greatly improving driving safety. Thanks to the full empowerment of the AI model, the L6 will unlock new ways to play in the smart cabin, including City Drive and highlight moments, making the travel experience richer and more interesting.
At the same time, the reporter experienced right-angle cornering, one-key welt, obstacle forest, gentle slope in the countryside, vertical corner parking space, one-key U-turn, night dynamic blind compensation and other projects, which are indeed very friendly to female drivers. It's a bit bad if the car is too smart, and it's easy to cause novices to always be novices.
In addition to the test drive at the venue, the reporter started a road test drive on the road in the suburbs of Shanghai. In addition to letting the media feel the driving experience of the Zhiji L6, the main thing is to test its IM AD city NOA (no high-definition map NOA) function - of course, the project is still in the beta stage and is only available in some sections of Shanghai. However, according to the planning of Zhiji, they have no plan to make a mass production of NOA in Q3 this year, and Q4 will begin to roll out nationwide. The vehicle dynamics, POPO SOFA seat comfort, chassis toughness are indeed quite good, coupled with the ultra-small turning radius, making this car really not like a medium and large sedan but more like an A0-class car with full sportiness and comfort. The rhythm of the vehicle's start and stop is well controlled, and it is also decisive and resolute when making unprotected left and right turns, overtaking, or taking the road. On some narrow and congested paths, the ratio of avoidance to braking is also quite "old-fashioned", not too conservative and timid like some models.
The half-width steering wheel needs to get used to it just after getting started, and it feels like you can adapt to it after driving for a long time. I am particularly impressed by the light language, the tail light can play the cute graphics of cats and dogs, as well as greetings and thanks, such as when you want to express your gratitude to the rear car, play Thankyou, the senses are very good. At present, this lantern language cannot be opened for customization, but I still hope that Zhiji can officially provide more and richer optional content through OTA.
Finally, after completing the test drive of the Zhiji L6, I was really impressed by its "really good drive" and "really smart".
