The new Zhiji LS6 is on the market, and Liu Tao is ＂floating＂

On September 26, the launch of the new Wisdom LS6 was announced, and Liu Tao, co-CEO of Wisdom Automobile, made his debut.

Liu Tao’s driving skills obviously "still need to be practiced" – on the first lap of the drift, he flattened the positioning cone barrel in the center of the field, and then rolled the cone barrel again during the drift process. However, this also confirms the strong handling quality of the new Zhiji LS6, which is easy to drive, comfortable and safe, enough for less skilled drivers to "float" with confidence.

This is due to the "black technology" that Zhiji has piled up in the car: "Spirit Lizard" digital chassis, smart four-wheel steering system, air suspension, intelligent electronically controlled vibration reduction system, high-performance braking system… Compared with the large number of new configurations of the old model, the new Zhiji LS6 is not like a modified car, but more like a sincere new car.

The new smart LS6 launched five configuration versions, the official guide price 239,900~ 302,900 yuan. Users who lock the order before 24:00 on October 8 can also enjoy the discount of 2,000 yuan intention gold to deduct 25,000 yuan balance and many listing rights and interests for a limited time. The specific model configuration and listing rights and interests prices are shown in the figure below:

It’s hard to get a try, and the competition has confidence

Although Liu Tao compared the Porsche Cayenne almost throughout the press conference, the audience has a pole scale in their hearts, a 200,000-level intelligent pure electric SUV and a 1 million-level luxury fuel SUV, which can be compared, but will never be benchmarked.

Who is the opponent of the new Smartphone LS6? An obvious answer is the Avita 07, which was also released on September 26 and opened almost at the same time. If you look at it again, we can also see the L60, JK 7X, Zhijie R7, which were launched in the previous week, and the Landu soulmate, which will be launched in mid-October. Each of the above is a mid-sized or medium-sized pure electric SUV, and each one is either implicitly or explicitly targeting the leader of the mid-sized pure electric SUV market – Tesla Model Y.

"Six factions are besieging Bright Roof", and almost every family has stunts: the L60 has power replacement, the R7 has Huawei, the Avita 07 has range extension, and the JK 7X has an oversized trunk and cabin space that refuses to slip back. In the face of these opponents born on the front and back feet, as well as the Tesla Model Y on the throne, the new Smart Self LS6 still has the confidence to not fall behind, relying on the fully armed "black technology" on the car.

Since last weekend, the reporter tried to book a test drive of the new Zhiji LS6 in a Shanghai Zhiji experience center, but due to the hot test drive arrangement of the store, the reporter failed several times. "I’m really sorry, the test drive has been fully arranged, not only are all the rest days full, but there are also a steady stream of customers who request door-to-door test drives on weekdays," the connected salesperson told the reporter.

From the feedback from the sales staff, test drive users generally gave high praise for the vehicle’s space, driving experience, and urban road intelligent driving experience. Many users immediately paid 2,000 yuan to place an order after the test drive.

"Spirit Lizard" blessing, the chassis is more powerful

The chassis is the most significant change in the new LS6.

The "Lizard" digital chassis first installed on the Zhiji L6 was reused on the new Zhiji LS6. Compared with more flexible sedan models, the "Lizard" digital chassis can be used more effectively in larger SUV models, bringing users a stronger experience.

When evaluating the chassis from the perspective of user experience, it is generally concerned with handling and comfort. According to the official statement of Zhiji, through the blessing of the "Lizard" digital chassis, the new Zhiji LS6 will "have the handling quality of a million-class SUV, and the excellent flexibility of an urban’small steel cannon ‘". As a medium and large SUV, the wide turning radius of the new Zhiji LS6 can be comparable to the BMW Mini Cooper S, and it can be flexibly shuttled in the scene of internal roads in the community or narrow roads in the city.

From the hardware point of view, the new Zhiji LS6 is equipped with chassis components such as smart four-wheel steering system, air suspension, intelligent electronic control vibration reduction system, and high-performance braking system. Among them, rear wheel steering, air suspension, intelligent electronic control vibration reduction and other configurations are all new configurations, and the old model does not include these configurations. According to the reporter’s driving experience, these new configurations mean that the old Zhiji LS6 is large and inflexible, with obvious bumps in the potholed road section, and large rollover ranges.

These new configurations seem to have developed strong "muscles" on the chassis, but muscular people may not be physically coordinated and good at sports, but also need a developed cerebellum. For the new Zhiji LS6, the "Spirit Lizard" digital chassis based on SAIC’s VMC vehicle dynamic control technology is the "super cerebellum" that controls these "muscles". By centrally integrating the chassis components, the "Spirit Lizard" digital chassis uses AI algorithms to maximize the performance potential of the chassis hardware, so that the acceleration, braking, steering, and shock absorption of the vehicle are no longer in their own way, but form a whole. According to the user’s request, with the primary goal of handling or comfort, the whole vehicle is coordinated with the front, rear, left, right, up and down three-way six-degree-of-freedom body posture control.

This highly integrated digital chassis lays the foundation for functions such as the "Crab Row Mode" and "Turnaround in Place" of the new Zhiji LS6, which can bring users a more comfortable and safer driving experience in common urban driving scenarios such as speed bumps, rapid acceleration or emergency braking, jumping ups and downs, wetland anti-skid, and snowy roads. In addition, the highly integrated digital chassis design can also support the full-architecture OTA of vehicle performance, allowing the vehicle to continuously "grow" new functions, and drive better and better.

"End-to-end" Get in the car and drive smarter

Previously, Zhiji Automobile announced that IMAD No Map City NOA will be officially launched nationwide in October, and all models will be launched. This means that the new Zhiji LS6, which will be launched at the end of September, will have the ability of No Map City NOA when it is delivered in October. It is no longer limited by high-precision maps, and intelligent driving can go wherever navigation can go.

The new Smart Self LS6 is fully equipped with lidar and NVIDIA Orin X chips, and with the intelligent driving algorithm of end-to-end large models, the vehicle no longer relies on high-precision maps. In both hardware and software, the vehicle is ready to achieve map-free city NOA.

It is reported that Zhiji Auto is the fourth company in the industry to achieve NOA "can be opened nationwide" in cities without maps (the first three are Hongmeng Zhixing, Xiaopeng, and Ideal). Relying on the empowerment of end-to-end large models, the safety level of IM AD smart driving has reached 6.7 times that of human driving.

It is worth mentioning that this "can be opened all over the country" does not have too many attributive restrictions. Vehicles can truly achieve "all cities in the country are easy to open" with 100% urban coverage. In the face of various special road conditions such as village roads, winding mountain roads, construction roads, and laneless roads, "all roads in the country are easy to open" as long as there is navigation, and in the face of complex scenarios such as roundabout islands, U-turns, and ETC toll stations, "all roads in the country are easy to open". Combined with "IM AD automatic parking assistance" and "AVP one-click valet parking" supported by more than 300 parking scenarios, Zhiji IM AD will bring users a safer, more efficient and silky driving experience.

"Falcon" light and shadow, the cockpit is smarter

In addition to the chassis and intelligent driving, the new Smart LS6 also brings a number of major upgrades in the smart cockpit.

The first to bear the brunt is the "Falcon Smart Lighting System". This lighting system provides the widest 165 ° super wide-angle fill light for night driving, covering almost all the driver’s field of vision, so that the vehicle can have no blind spots and be safer in scenes such as parking, turning, and crossing at night. In addition, "Falcon" also has the function of "continuous flash ghost probe". The vehicle’s perception system can detect the "ghost probe" in time, and make the lights on the side of the "ghost probe" flash continuously, prompting drivers and pedestrians to pay attention to risks.

In the cabin, the new Smart Self LS6 is also more compatible with users’ smart devices. The mobile phone can cast the screen regardless of the brand, and the tablet can also be connected to the smart cabin through the IM Link function, which is very convenient. The car system is also equipped with four innovative gameplays of "City Drive", "New Multi-Perspective Carlog", "ISC Smart Lighting System" and "IM GO Team Travel", bringing more novel and fun unique experiences to passengers.

In addition, the zero-gravity seat of the vehicle is also quite interesting. Compared with the rear zero-gravity seat on the Zhiji LS7, the 121 ° co-pilot zero-gravity seat on the new Zhiji LS6 adjusts the position of the zero-gravity seat, which greatly improves the practicality and adjustability of the zero-gravity seat. In addition, by adjusting the position and shape of the front and rear seats, the new Zhiji LS6 can also enable the "Princess Chair" mode and "Queen Room" mode, which unlocks three lying positions for users to enjoy a more comfortable ride.
