The Zhiji L7 is the first model of the Zhiji brand, and if you think about it, the Zhiji brand has only been launched for 3 years now, during which the L7 was first launched, and then the LS7 and LS6 were released, and the L6 that was recently unveiled! It is not easy to launch so many models in just 3 years, and each one is a boutique in the same class. Among these models, I think the L7 is the one that has established the tone of the Zhiji brand and family, and it carries the essence of the entire brand.
Why do I say this about the L7, as the owner of the first L7, I think the L7 is an out-and-out treasure car. Although the current sales champion of Zhiji is LS6, you can feel the "sincerity" of Zhiji in this car, whether it is hardware or software, whether it can be seen or not. And the improvements seen on the new L7 are not only feedback from old L7 owners, but also the experience of many LS7 and LS6 owners when using the car, for example, the rearview mirror on the LS6 that everyone praises.
The styling of the new L7 has remained largely unchanged. There are many car companies will make visible skin-pulling adjustments to the styling on the facelifted models, and the shape of the L7 I think is classic enough, at this stage, there is no need to do too many changes in the proportions and style of the vehicle, because in a short period of time the shape of the L7 will not be outdated, I will even feel that the current too many changes are a bit of a snake to add to the feeling, just retain the familiar front face and elegant lines. However, the new L7 has been adjusted in many details, such as the introduction of a new design on the wheels, which is the same as the wheels of the current LS7 and LS6, which can be regarded as matching family elements and is recognizable enough.
The biggest change in the new L7 is in the interior, because the entire interior design, the visible parts have changed, and these changes are not those changes that brush up on the sense of presence. In fact, Zhiji has made a physical upgrade to the interior, and this design change also makes the L7 more family elements like the current LS6. For example, the black bezel of the large lifting screen has been reduced, and the middle island is no longer a suspended design, but integrated with the entire IP. A half-width steering wheel option has been introduced across the range, unlike the old L7, which only had a half-width steering wheel in the Black Mamba suit.
In addition, the biggest upgrade in the car is the seats, which have been lengthened in the front and rear seats. The upgrade of the rear seat is comparable to a generation, not only the seat cushion has been lengthened, the backrest has also been upgraded, and the ventilation and heating massage has been added, and the backrest can be adjusted by 10 degrees, so that the executive taste is stronger. In addition, some users have reported that the window lift, which is not used to it, has also changed from touch to mechanical.
At its core, the power level of the new L7 is still in the quasi-600 hp range, and it can reach 378 per second. The exclusive four-wheel steering has also been retained, and as an old L7 owner, this set of four-wheel steering is definitely my favorite.
When it comes to the highlights of the L7, all owners are likely to recommend four-wheel steering. At that time, I also tried the L7 and felt that it had a smaller turning radius than the Golf, so I finally decided to buy it. Zhiji officially defines this system as a four-wheel intelligent control chassis, in addition to four-wheel steering, it is also equipped with electronically controlled intelligent damping, vector four-wheel drive, and the steering ratio of the new L7 has been optimized, from 145 to 12, with a half-width steering wheel, the handling will be improved to a higher level. In fact, I have always said that the L7 is a treasure car, because it is particularly balanced between handling and comfort, compared to the old L7 is more inclined to the fun of the driver, the new L7 will be the ride comfort has been "made up".
In terms of intelligence, in fact, the previous L7 has been done quite well, and various intelligent functions and upgrades will be the first to be recommended to the old L7 owners. The new L7 is equipped with LiDAR + NVIDIA Orin X chip, which is a step forward in the industry-leading intelligent driving experience. It is worth mentioning that the intelligent driving system of Zhiji has its own independent style and technical characteristics, and it does not emphasize 100% letting go and zero taking over, it is more of a guide in terms of intelligent driving.
In addition, through the practice of LS6, Zhiji has focused a lot of configurations related to driving assistance on practical scenarios, such as blind patching and rainy night mode, in addition to the one-key welt now provided, for L7 such a wheelbase 3A 1-meter car is particularly practical.
In terms of **, the L7 Max ultra-long range version with a single motor of 250 kW and 340 hp has a range of 708 km and is priced at 29990,000 yuan; The L7 Max Long Range Performance Edition, which is a dual-motor 578 hp version, has a range of 625 kilometers and costs 34990,000 yuan; The L7 Max Long Range Flagship is priced at 38990,000 yuan, L7 Max SP Special Edition, 41990,000 yuan; As for the owners of the old L7, I actually didn't feel "backstabbed" because Zhiji has opened the upgrade channel of the old L7, and the vehicle's intelligent system, including cameras and chips, can be upgraded to the level of the current L7 through the exchange of original stones. This can be said to be unique in the current new energy market.
Is it worth it to buy the new L7?
This is a matter of opinion, and many people will say that although L7 is within 300,000, it is still expensive, especially in today's volume.
But when it comes to the topic of whether the L7 is worth it, it also depends on which car it compares with, just take 29990,000 for this version, in terms of power, its 250 kilowatt 340 horsepower power level is exactly the same as the Audi A6L 55T using the V6 engine, and at this time, do you think you can buy less than 300,000 Zhiji L7 or A6L 55T value?
