Who doesn’t love a flexible big guy? Where has the new Zhiji LS6 been upgraded this time?

Entering the cool autumn, the domestic new car market has ushered in a blowout period as promised. Even so, the new Zhiji LS6 stands out among many models with its "six ace configurations" and attracts much attention. Although the new car is positioned as a medium and large SUV with high vision, large space and practical layout, the official purpose is to create a city smart SUV for urban users that is easy to drive and comfortable for the whole family, safe and secure.

So the question is, how can the new LS6 achieve driving flexibility and convenience while maintaining its body size?

The answer to this question was finally fully revealed at the press conference held at the Shanghai International Equestrian Center on September 26. With the equestrian stage as the background, it not only symbolizes the vigor and elegance of the new car like a horse, but also adds a bit of aristocratic atmosphere to its dynamic debut like "dressage".

At the Chengdu Auto Show at the end of August, the static new cars unveiled the veil of "six ace configurations", including: "Spirit Lizard" digital chassis, "Smart four-wheel steering system", "LiDAR + OrinX chip", "Qualcomm 8295 + IM OS future smart cabin", "Falcon smart lighting system" and 121 ° zero gravity comfortable seats. At the press conference, the new cars also showed us their "black technology" bonuses one by one.

01. "Spirit Lizard" digital chassis + "Smart four-wheel steering system"

Air suspension, electromagnetic shock absorption, rear wheel steering – these three sets of combination punches can maximize the performance potential of the chassis hardware after passing the AI algorithm, and provide the most comfortable and safe quality experience for the 9 most common and high-frequency urban scenarios in our daily lives (including speed bumps, rapid acceleration or emergency braking, throwing ups and downs, wetland skid prevention, etc.).

Specific to actual use, the car can pan diagonally ("Crab Running Mode"), the roadside is not afraid of getting stuck, the narrow road turns around, and the brakes "do not nod" in various road conditions. The footwork is like the ICS gimbal brake of an old driver, and when encountering unilateral water or snow and other roads, the vehicle’s deviation is reduced by about 80%… For novice drivers, it is excellent to get started with this medium and large SUV.

In addition, the new LS6 can also show its skills in some special road sections, including "single-wheel escape" function (when the vehicle is stuck in the mud after the rain, it only needs 150ms to accurately restrain slippage), "active anti-rollover" function (in the case of emergency avoidance on high speed, the safety limit of the SUV is greatly increased, reducing the risk of rollover by 33%), and "gimbal body" (when dealing with large curvature curves, it can actively balance the body).

In addition, the "Smart Four-Wheel Steering System" and "Smart Four-Wheel Steering System" support full-architecture OTA upgrades, which will continue to optimize and unlock more functions.

02. Future travel filled with relaxation

At present, the most proud "smart driving" of China’s new energy vehicles has also come up with a new answer. First, IM AD has upgraded the end-to-end large model "Go to high-precision map NOA", which will be opened nationwide this year; then, "AVP one-click valet parking" is newly launched, achieving full coverage of various road conditions including island/U-turn/ETC toll stations.

Then, the new Zhiji LS6 is equipped with a "121 ° Zero Gravity Comfort Seat" with "Princess Chair Mode" in the passenger seat (the same seat on last year’s LS7), and a 10-gear 18 ° adjustable large sofa in the rear row (the reclining angle is further increased). After resting the rear seats, it can open up the large space in the trunk, which is especially suitable for camping and resting.

Finally, the new LS6 is also equipped with a new BYOD super-inductive interconnection, IM MAG magnetic docking station 2.0, 7.1.4 WANOS panoramic intelligent sound field and other practical technology configurations, which can be embellished with some small surprises from time to time in the process of using the car.

03. Listen to the details of the old car owner’s optimization

The update of new energy vehicles far exceeds the rhythm of fuel vehicles, and the communication between car companies and users has become particularly important. Old users of the Zhiji LS6 may be pleasantly surprised to find that the new Zhiji LS6 has made corresponding adjustments in some "criticizing" details:

Many users and fans have expressed that the tail shape that they cannot appreciate has been modified to a certain extent, making it more visually coordinated than the 2023 model.

L The headlights, which were originally complained of not being bright enough, were upgraded to the "Falcon Smart Lighting System", which provides a better night experience by adding a 165 ° lighting system on both sides of the headlights. In addition, the corner lights can flash three times for pedestrians in the blind spot as a safety reminder, and can automatically fill in the light at curved intersections on rainy nights.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip is more powerful than the previous 8155 chip. With the IMOS 3.0 system, it can theoretically support 11 screens to run at the same time. Therefore, the new Zhiji LS6 can be connected to a tablet computer in the rear (both Android and iPad support), allowing passengers in the rear to easily control the intelligent connection system of the vehicle.

L Although the 2023 LS6 comes with wireless charging of the mobile phone, the 15W is slightly tasteless, which makes many car owners prefer to connect the external mobile phone holder for daily charging. In this regard, the new Zhiji LS6 has been upgraded to 50W air-cooled fast charging, and it has been upgraded from the hard material with the frame ringing during driving to the soft rubber material.

L The battery life of the three batteries of the new LS6 has also been improved compared with that of the 2023 model, from the previous 71kWh (CLTC battery life 560km, Times SAIC brand), 90 kWh (680 km, Times SAIC), 100 kWh (702 km or 760 km, Ningde Era) to 75 kWh (625 km, Zhongchuang SIA), 83 kWh (701 km, Ningde Era), 100 kWh (750 km or 802 km, Ningde Era)

concluding remarks

The listing equity price of the new LS6 is 21.69-27 9,900, and the end point price is basically the same as that of the 2023 model. However, as mentioned above, the various configurations of the new model are already different from the two cars. With the continuous acceleration of the replacement cycle of domestic new energy vehicles, individual car companies have even entered the "new and new" traffic misunderstanding. Looking at the new cars piling up, in fact, their technological changes are just "squeezing toothpaste" like "old wine in a new bottle".

On the other hand, through deep insight and unremitting pursuit of its own user requests, as well as effective technical upgrades, in just one year, it has created a "new" product that at least makes LS6 old owners envious, and at the same time "increase the volume without increasing the price". This is indeed worthy of some "Car Sea Tactics" brands to learn from!
