Judging from the market performance in 2023, the reshuffle of new energy vehicles is still accelerating, and although the competition between major independent brands is not swords, it is enough to thrill. For example, in the C-segment car market, the all-new Zhiji L7 and AVATR 12 have just arrived in stores, putting great pressure on traditional luxury cars.
The C-segment car market has always been "monopolized" by traditional luxury brands, and the all-new Zhiji L7 and AVATR 12 can attract the attention of many consumers in this segment, which shows the excellence of the two. As for the new Zhiji L7 and AVATR 12, who will become the new king of pure electric luxury cars? Let's take a look.
Appearance is the basis for judging whether a C-class car is worth buying, and in this regard, the new Zhiji L7 and AVATR 12 have left a deep first impression on everyone. However, in terms of space, comfort, and handling, the two have made consumers have a plan in their hearts.
In terms of exterior size, the all-new Zhiji L7 and AVATR 12 have reached the size of C-class cars, but the new Zhiji L7's longer body & wheelbase, as well as better X-axis and Y-axis space design capabilities, also make this new car bring better space performance.
Especially in the rear part, the new Zhiji L7 has more than 1 meter of rear legroom and nearly 1With 5 meters of rear lateral space, combined with 962mm of effective headroom and 175mm of rear knee room, the all-new Zhiji L7 makes it easy for everyone to lie comfortably.
In terms of comfort, the front seats of the all-new Zhiji L7 and AVATR 12 support heating, ventilation, massage, and electric leg rest functions, which can bring a full-perception luxury experience to the family. But sitting in the back row, the advantages of the new Zhiji L7 are more obvious. For example, the rear seats of AVATR 12 only have a heating function, while the new Zhiji L7 has a full range of seats, and the rear seats also provide a comfortable three-piece set (massage, ventilation, heating), which takes good care of every passenger.
Like winter travel, the new Zhiji L7 and AVATR 12 can allow users to avoid cold seats when getting into the car, but in summer, it is different, after the sun is exposed, the rear passengers of the new Zhiji L7 can feel the wrap-around cooling experience that the rear of AVATR 12 cannot give.
The new Zhiji L7 has 8 modes to choose from, and the spa-level eight-point massage seat is also particularly easy to use, not only supporting one-button massage, comfortable lumbar spine, but also supporting independent partitions of the waist and shoulders, and providing 3 kinds of strength, when using the car for a long time, it is like being equipped with a professional masseur to help you relieve fatigue.
In addition, the all-new Zhiji L7's electric leg rest in front of the seat is also particularly intimate, which can adjust the appropriate angle and height according to the height and needs of passengers, and realize 50mm leg support adjustment, so that the legs can be better supported and relaxed, and greatly reduce the fatigue of the legs and feet during long-distance driving. Coupled with the 10° tilt adjustment provided by the angle of the rear backrest, the rear row of the new Zhiji L7 is much more comfortable than that of the AVATR 12.
The leg rest of the all-new Zhiji L7 is also covered with high-quality skin-feeling leather, giving passengers a soft and comfortable touch ......When it comes to fabrics, I have to say that the new Zhiji L7 uses the German Bavarian semi-aniline material that was only used in the past only on the first-class cars, which is more soft, breathable and comfortable than Nappa leather and other materials. In the industry, only 40%-50% of the high-quality parts on each cowhide can be used for seat making, and the proportion of application in the global automotive industry does not exceed 10%, which shows the sincerity of Zhiji Auto.
Finally, the handling experience part, although the new Zhiji L7 and AVATR 12 both use the front double wishbone and the rear multi-link suspension, which can bring better lateral support, so that the vehicle also has an excellent body posture when cornering at high speeds. However, the core advantage of the all-new Zhiji L7 is the use of ZF CDC intelligent electronically controlled damping shock absorber, which can quickly adjust the suspension damping size in an instant of 10ms, fully coping with complex road conditions and bringing a smooth road.
Not only that, the all-new Zhiji L7 not only adopts ZF AKC rear-wheel steering system on the rear axle, which can realize stepless adjustment of the rear-wheel steering angle of a total of 12° in both directions, but also optimizes the steering ratio, which is reduced from 145→12.5, the number of steering wheel laps 265→2.3. It has a better steering feel, better response speed, and more agile body dynamics, which brings more driving pleasure and is more in line with the style definition of "New World Driving Control Flagship".
All in all, the AVATR 12 is good, more worthy of consideration than most traditional luxury sedans in its class, but compared to the all-new Zhiji L7, which has evolved and has no shortcomings, the latter is obviously more worth considering. Now that the all-new Zhiji L7 has arrived in stores one after another, interested consumers may wish to experience it for themselves, and I believe that it will not disappoint you by giving the highest standard of the C-class Zhidian flagship model in the market in one step!
