[car home New Energy] The 2021 Shanghai Auto Show is underway. In the past two years, the proportion of new energy vehicles in major auto shows has been increasing. In this Shanghai Auto Show, the proportion of new energy vehicles has reached one-third. Some netizens jokingly called this auto show "2021 New Energy Auto Show". Before the auto show is over, let’s take stock of the new products of new brands, because on this "new track", these new brands do have many new ideas, and the models are more interesting than one. If you are interested, you must come to Shanghai Auto Show to feel it.
With the booming of new energy automobile market, new automobile brands have been born in recent years, including brand-new new power brands or new brands with traditional automobile enterprise backgrounds. For some traditional car companies, they want a share in the new energy market, and new brands often bring their own heat, and new brand models can also enjoy some "benefits" of traditional car companies, such as funds, customers, technology, etc. In addition, the birth of a new brand can also help car companies to develop another development direction. Why not? Then our inventory article today includes some new brands, such as Weilai and Xpeng Motors, as well as some brands with traditional car companies’ backgrounds, such as Zhiji Automobile.
Zhiji Automobile is jointly built by SAIC, Zhangjiang Hi-Tech and Alibaba Group, and (|) is the brand’s first mass-produced model, and the pre-sale price has been announced at 408,800 yuan during the Shanghai Auto Show. It can be seen from the general performance of the first product that this is really a brand that emphasizes "intelligence".
●Zhiji L7
The front face of the new car is very futuristic. The "big hero" should be the design of the light group. Although the modeling is exaggerated, the official said that the car is 99% close to mass production. The shape of the daytime running light strip is similar to "∑", and it is responsible for "cool". The official name of this design is icon-m. Cool is just an appearance. Seeing the real light group, Zhiji L7 is equipped with "intelligent lighting system DLP+ISC". This system has 2.6 million pixels of DLP projection headlights and 5,000 LED ISC pixel signal lights. In addition to the conventional lighting function, this lighting system also has the ability to "talk", which can realize the functions of reminding pedestrians, guiding lights, guiding light carpets, and moving light with eyes.
Regarding some sensors, Zhiji L7 has 12 cameras, 5 millimeter-wave radars and 12 ultrasonic sensors. Interestingly, there are three high-definition cameras on the roof of the car. In order to reduce the wind resistance, the cameras are automatically upgraded when necessary. Its image sensor has 150 million pixels as a whole, supporting 180 distortion-free ultra-wide-angle, 4K high-definition video shooting, super night view and other modes. Although there is a "small horn" overhead, the drag coefficient of Zhiji L7 has reached 0.21, which is already an excellent achievement.
The length and width of the new car are 5098mm and 1960mm respectively, and the wheelbase reaches 3100mm, so the car side effect is slender enough. At the rear of the car, don’t think it’s just a simple through taillight. In fact, the taillight is designed on screen, and you can print some fonts and patterns. On the other hand, the taillight part seems to be integrated with the "duck tail" shape, which is also unique.
Entering the car, Zhiji L7 has a 39-inch through screen, and the instrument and center console are a big screen, and the co-pilot entertainment screen is another screen, and both screens can be lifted up and down. There are also bright spots in the interactive experience of the vehicle. It is equipped with Zhiji’s "unbounded interactive IMOS operating system", which can realize unbounded multi-screen interactive experience, and users can freely customize functions that are not related to vehicle safety.
Finally, in the power and endurance part, the rear axle of the car is the main drive, with a power of 400kW and a torque of 700 N·m, and it is equipped with a bidirectional 12 rear wheel steering system. Zhiji L7 also comes standard with a 93kWh power battery pack, and the high-equipped models can be equipped with a 115kWh battery, so the vehicle can last up to 1000km. At the same time, the car will be equipped with 11kW wireless charging. The official said that it can charge 10.5kWh of electricity in one hour, which is equivalent to 70-80km battery life under the NEDC standard.
"Smart" is really not empty talk. On the track of pure electric vehicles, these car companies are really implementing "smart" in all aspects. In the part of assisted driving that many people care about, the official said that Zhiji L7 can have the point-to-point zero-take-over autopilot capability by the end of 2021, provided that national regulations allow and high-precision maps are open. After reading Zhizhi L7, I can only say that "the amount given is really large". It is in the early 400,000 s. Is this car worth it?
●Zhiji LS7 concept car
Zhiji LS7 is positioned as a medium or large SUV, which is still in the concept car state and is planned to be officially mass-produced in 2022. Compared with the L7 just mentioned, the front of this new car looks more conservative, but the irregular headlights and the concave front face still make it have a strong sense of youth. It can be seen from the door handle that the LS7 concept car seems to adopt the design of the opposite door at present, and I hope that this design can be retained in future production cars.
It can be seen that the electronic rearview mirror was used in the real shooting model, which was exclusive to the concept car in the past, but the designer of Zhiji LS7 said that "this was developed at a time when the laws and regulations were in compliance", and when the LS7 was mass-produced and listed, the electronic rearview mirror might be standard. In the century-long history of automobile development, are we really going to experience another change in mass production of pure electric vehicles? It is really worth looking forward to. The taillight design of Zhiji LS7 is exactly the same as that of L7. In terms of functionality, the taillights are the same as those of both cars, and they all have screen design.
At present, the interior of Zhiji LS7 has not been announced, but it is conceivable that the car should adopt a style similar to that of L7, and the on-board interconnection system is also a part worth looking forward to. Besides the camera, there are two "small horns" on the roof of LS7, which are prepared for solid-state lidar. I believe that the two models of Zhiji will have one thing in common, that is, to implement the label of "intelligence" and expect them to perform well after they are actually listed.
