For many people, the word "cross-border car building" has always been a derogatory term, but when traditional car companies and domestic giants join hands to build cars, "cross-border car building" can get stronger resource support, and "cross-border car building" will become a commendatory term, because the former's "cross-border car building" is seriously lacking in car building experience, while the latter can do better. In the domestic automobile market, smart cars are one of the successful examples of "cross-border cars".
Speaking of smart car, many people may not be particularly familiar with it, but it is a brand-new car brand led by Zhangjiang Hi-Tech, SAIC and Ali. At present, Zhiji Automobile has launched two models, Zhiji LS7 and Zhiji L7. Today, we test-drive the Zhiji LS7, a 300,000-class coupe pure electric SUV.
However, in this test drive, the official defined Zhiji LS7 as "SUV 3.0", emphasizing its value liberation and experience sublimation, including vision 3.0, space 3.0 and safety & etc. Ok, open 3.0. So how to understand "SUV 3.0"? What kind of experience can Zhiji LS7 bring us? Today, let's take a look.
As a medium and large coupe SUV, Zhiji LS7 gives people a tight sense of fashion in design, especially the visual effect brought by two groups of LED strip in the front of the car, which will make the whole car look more low and sporty, and of course it is also full of recognition. In addition, as a pure electric SUV, Zhiji LS7 also provides a front storage box, which can further improve the storage capacity of the whole vehicle.
On the side of the car body, Zhiji LS7 adopts the design style of coupe SUV, but compared with other coupe SUVs, Zhiji LS7 has no obvious sliding curve design behind B-pillar, but has formed an obvious sliding shape behind C-pillar. In addition, the side of Zhiji LS7 also has a very clever shape, that is, the window sill of the car has an obvious upward design at the back, giving people a sense of movement. Because of this, even if the length of Zhiji LS7 reaches 5049mm and the width reaches 2002mm, it still looks small.
In addition, Zhiji LS7 will provide a 22-inch five-frame sports wheel design, with yellow and black contrast wheels and orange Brembo brake calipers, and occupy two-thirds of the front of the car, which makes the visual impact extremely strong. In addition, Michelin PS EV special tire for new energy provides a strong foundation for the sportiness of Zhiji LS7.
For the rear end, the biggest highlight of Zhiji LS7 lies in its through taillight group design, but it is different from the embedded design of other models. The shape exposed by Zhiji LS7 makes it more super-running, such as the taillight shape of Aston Martin DBX and so on. Of course, in addition to the taillights, the Zhizhi LS7 also adopts a splayed opening design around the bottom of the car. The larger shape gives it a stronger high-performance SUV atmosphere.
Next, on the internal level. Zhiji LS7 adopts the popular interior style of new energy vehicles at present. There are almost no physical buttons in the whole interior, and it is operated by touch operation or functions in the screen, covering 95% of the functional range of the vehicle. In addition, the highlight of the interior of Zhiji LS7 lies in its oversized front windshield. The entire windshield not only has a visual area of 1.63m2, but also has a vertical viewing angle of 106, which is the largest specification in its class. In order to avoid ultraviolet rays and heat insulation to the maximum extent, the intelligent machine LS7 adopts the only three-layer silver plating process in the world, the top-grade gradient heat insulation and sound insulation PVB material, and the air curtain technology, which forms an air curtain forward through the air outlet of the air conditioner, and also achieves the effect of heat insulation and rapid cooling, which is an important embodiment of the intelligent machine LS7 "Vision 3.0".
In addition to the advantages brought by Vision 3.0, the interior of Zhiji LS7 also has a 26.3-inch central control LCD screen+15.5-inch quick control panel, in which the left and right upper screens can be lifted independently, which is the first in the industry. Of course, the whole screen is impeccable in operation and display clarity, and the function of supporting voice control further enhances the convenience of its operation.
After finishing the screen, it is the half steering wheel carried by Zhiji LS7. At present, this steering wheel has passed the requirements of laws and regulations and can be used on the road normally. However, for people who are in contact for the first time, this steering wheel still has certain limitations in rapid steering, which means that users who like early adopters also need to pay a lot of learning costs. But if you don't like this kind of steering wheel, LS7 also provides a common steering wheel for free.
Next, on the spatial level. Zhiji LS7 has no problem in terms of space. The author, who is 175cm tall, sits in the second row, with an elbow of legroom. In addition to the spacious seating space, the right rear seat of Zhiji LS7 also provides a real zero-gravity seat of 12 1 degree, and the advantage of the zero-gravity seat is that it can ensure that every pressure part of the body can eliminate the absolute pressure point evenly, plus the functions of seat ventilation, heating and massage provided in the back row, which can be said to be the real boss position. However, after opening the zero-gravity seat in the back row, Zhiji LS7 becomes a "three-person seat" at this time. And this is the "space 3.0" declared by the intelligent machine LS7.
After explaining "Vision 3.0" and "Space 3.0", let's go back to "Safe & Ok, Open 3.0". In this regard, let's talk about the safety level first. First of all, in terms of air quality, Zhiji LS7 achieved a perfect score of 100 for the first time in the CN95 fresh air cockpit test of China Automobile Research Institute, which means that its indoor air quality has reached the leading position in the whole industry. Secondly, in terms of battery safety, Zhiji LS7 also adopted the industry-first PSG phase change metamaterial firewall and the industry-specific spray system in Pack to prevent fire from occurring inside the battery due to short circuit or other reasons. In addition, it meets the highest dustproof and waterproof level of IP68 and IP69K, and also ensures the stronger safety of the battery pack. Finally, the body rigidity of Zhiji LS7 is submarine-class, with the highest ultra-high strength 1500Mpa, and 6 airbags in the whole vehicle+middle airbag at the far end, which gives the straight-based LS7 stronger passive safety performance.
On the "Haokai 3.0", Zhiji LS7 adopted the blessing of "All-Star" suppliers, including the closed air suspension system patented by mainland China, Bilstein DampTronic electromagnetic dynamic damping adjustment system with a German brand of more than 100 years, Bosch brand EPS electronic steering, NVIDIA Orin X chip+dual lidar (which has not been tested yet) and so on. On the power level, the Zhiji LS7 will be equipped with front and rear dual motors, with a maximum power of 425 kW, a peak torque of 725 Nm and an acceleration time of only 4.5 seconds per 100 km.
Therefore, with strong power, there is no doubt about the acceleration of the wisdom pole LS7. In addition to acceleration, the comprehensive feeling brought to me by Zhiji LS7 in handling, chassis and suspension makes me feel that this is an SUV model with sports attributes, especially when driving on mountain roads. When the whole suspension is compressed and rebounded, it always gives people full confidence in cornering, and even makes me a little confused about its limit. Coupled with the response of the upper chassis and the feedback to the car body, the driver can obviously feel the sense of stability and the rapid response of the whole car in the corner. It is not like a medium-sized SUV, but a coupe with sports attributes.
Of course, in addition to providing enough driving confidence on mountain roads, Zhiji LS7 can also bring good chassis texture performance at high speed. Although the driving comfort is not very strong, it is definitely worth the price of 300,000 to 400,000. In addition, although this car is not equipped with lidar, the performance of the whole intelligent driving is L2+. Automatic car following, lane keeping, automatic acceleration at high speed, active braking and other functions are completely within the acceptable range, without any sense of panic or discomfort. But remember to keep your attention and be ready to take over during use. After all, automatic driving has not been achieved in the true sense, and the driver is still the leader of safety.
Finally, to sum up: As a 300,000-class pure electric medium and large coupe SUV, Zhiji LS7 bears the brunt of the superiority brought by driving control, and it is also one of the few cars in China that can adjust the chassis, steering and suspension with toughness and texture. If you are a user who likes driving control, Na Zhi LS7 should not let you down.
