Under the impact of electrification and intelligence, the MPV market, which was relatively unpopular before, is now very lively, and each independent brand has brought its own high-rise products, such as VOYAH Dreamer, Wei brand Gaoshan, Denza D9, etc., among which Denza D9 squeezed Buick GL8 off the altar, which fully shows that as long as the product power is in place, the market will be recognized. Geely Automobile's LEVC L380 was born in this context.
A few days ago, the L380 of LEVC Yizhen Automobile was officially launched, with a total of 4 models and an official guide price of 379,900 yuan to 479,900 yuan.
This price is much cheaper than the previous explosion of 600,000 starting price, the price is about the same as Xiaopeng X9, at present, Xiaopeng X9 sales of about 2,000 units a month have become the sales responsibility, which also shows that the pure electric MPV is not as good as expected, and if you want to impress the Chinese boss, you also need more sincere product power.
Not long ago, we also had an in-depth experience of this L380, which is known as the "Land Airbus", and then we will see if it can meet the expectations of the bosses for an MPV.
Four rows of eight seats, IKEA IKEA
In terms of appearance, L380 is also in line with the Chinese people's mellow and full design, its design is inspired by the aerodynamic engineering design concept of Airbus aircraft, integrating safety, space and efficiency, integrating Eastern and Western aesthetic elements, so that the shape design of L380 is round and full, and it is natural.
The length, width and height of the L380 are 5316/1998/1940mm, the wheelbase is 3185mm, and the overall cabin rate reaches 75%. The L380 is available in 6- and 8-seat configurations, and by adjusting the seats in the car, a variety of scene combinations can be formed. The body length is close to that of the ideal MEGA, but it is taller than the MEGA, and of course the taller design also means better interior space.
The biggest selling point of Yizhen L380 is the interior space, and the official directly calls it the king of space. On the basis of the first- and second-row space leading the same level, the third-row space of L380 reaches 940mm beyond the industry, and it can easily realize Ge You's laying. At the same time, the L380 also has a fourth row of seats that can be hidden under the luggage compartment floor.
In terms of storage, unlike traditional MPV models, where there is nowhere to place luggage after three rows are full, the L380 has a trunk space of up to 1,100 liters when the six seats are full, and it can easily fit nine 24-inch suitcases for large families.
In terms of comfort, the L380 second and third row seats are full-featured aviation seats, and at the same time, the L380 seats are equipped with ventilation and heating functions, using efficient and comfortable suction technology, with the top water ionizer in the cabin, L380 can provide rich negative oxygen ions for the whole cabin in real time, just like a "forest oxygen bar", even if you ride for a long time, you will not feel tired, giving you the first-class riding experience.
In terms of interior, the L380 adopts a floating dual-screen system, integrating a large-size central touch screen and LCD instrument panel, and the design of the center console is simple, emphasizing practicality without losing the business atmosphere. At the same time, the armrest screen of the second-row seats can control multimedia, car refrigerator, lighting, sunroof/sun blind, side sliding door opening and closing, window, seat (ventilation, heating, massage, one-key reclining, seat reset), wireless charging switch, in-car call, rear air conditioning and other functions.
In terms of intelligence, Yizhen L380 will be equipped with Flyme Auto car machine system, which supports mainstream functional applications, and also provides video applications such as iQiyi and B station. In addition, the car machine also supports linkage with the rear Pad (the rear seat Pad supports the control of various functions in the car), and has L4 autonomous driving technology to realize intelligent interconnection such as satellite communication, on-board drones, and smart homes.
Intelligence and comfort are really worthy of the title of Land Airbus, these are the functions that Chinese people like to see, and at the same time, large space will also be one of its selling points, which is very suitable for the appetite of Chinese people.
The control is good enough, and the battery life is enough
For MPV, it is not only necessary to look at the atmosphere and sit comfortably, but also to drive comfortably, which is also very important to the Chinese people. In terms of power, the L380 is equipped with dual permanent magnet motors, with a total peak power of up to 400kW and a total peak torque of 686N·m.
The optimized motor efficiency can reach 97.86%, the power characteristics exceed the 5.0T displacement engine, the official said that it can break through 100 kilometers of acceleration in 5.5 seconds, and at the same time, the Cyber chassis is equipped with Bosch IPB 1.1 ONE BOX intelligent brake-by-wire system and CST comfortable braking, and the braking distance of 100-0km/h is only 35.98m.
Although this car looks big and weighs a lot, in actual driving, this car also gives people a very light and brisk feeling, and when you need to accelerate to overtake, the acceleration performance and handling of the L380 make overtaking easy. The vehicle is able to quickly increase speed while maintaining a stable driving trajectory, ensuring a safe and stable overtaking process.
When driving in urban road conditions, there is no bulky feeling of a big car, the vision is very good, and the steering is precise, which is very friendly to the driver, and at the same time, in terms of comfort, sitting in the car, you can feel the vehicle's filter for bumps very gently, and you can only feel a slight roll when cornering, and the feeling of slow driving is very comfortable.
At the same time, according to the manufacturer's personnel, the chassis tuning of this car also has the participation of the ZEEKR team, and the front suspension of the cyber chassis of L380 adopts the original patented technology of virtual kingpin MacPherson front air spring structure, which significantly improves the comfort and handling stability of the vehicle; The rear suspension adopts multi-link independent suspension, and the well-designed leverage ratio and space arrangement make the rear suspension meet the design requirements of L380 flat floor, while the bearing capacity is increased by 30% compared with its peers.
Therefore, when driving at high speeds, the vehicle handling is greatly enhanced, and the roll is basically not felt when cornering, and the extra-long body and wheelbase do not bring a sense of drag, similar to driving a small SUV, giving people the feeling of being very confident, and at the same time sitting up is also very comfortable, very suitable for long-distance driving, in line with its business MPV tonality.
In terms of range, the new car adopts CATL's CTP battery system integration technology, providing two battery capacities, 116 kWh and 140 kWh, with a range of more than 650 km and 800 km, respectively, to meet the needs of users for long-distance travel. When fully charged, it is not a problem to achieve a range of 600-700 kilometers, and short-distance travel is basically enough. At the same time, in terms of charging, the new car can be charged from 10% to 80% in 30 minutes in fast charging mode, which further improves the user's convenience.
Through the in-depth experience, L380 has the advantages of good design, luxurious interior configuration, flexible and large enough space, etc., which can meet the needs of consumers for high-end MPV, and the product power can fully meet the expectations of Chinese people for a pure electric MPV. At the same time, good enough handling and sufficient endurance performance also dispel consumers' concerns about pure electric MPV, and it is believed that L380 will also create a new category in the domestic high-end new energy MPV market, winning a good start for LEVC.
