The MPV market has a new product whose power is unknown.
On June 25, LEVC Yizhen Automobile's L380 was launched, with a total of four models: 100-degree 6-seater Air version, 116-degree 6-seater Pro version, 140-degree 8-seater four-wheel drive Max version and 140-degree 6-seater four-wheel drive Ultra version, with an official guide price of 379,900-479,900 yuan.
What is LEVC? Public information shows that LEVC was founded in 1908 and is a British automobile brand that focuses on providing high-end travel services. LEVC's iconic "Black Cab" model has become a unique landscape in British culture.
In 2006, Geely Group, which is good at acquisitions, bought 20% of LEVC's shares and completed the full acquisition in 2013. Since then, LEVC has taken the first step in Geely's globalization journey.
In the era of smart electric vehicles, LEVC has further expanded the "usable space" in the car based on the world's first space-oriented architecture "SOA" architecture independently developed by itself. In official terms, the L380 is a "land Airbus", borrowed from Airbus' flagship model A380, and aims to provide users with a new experience of space on wheels.
It is reported that the design of L380 is inspired by the aerodynamic engineering design concept of Airbus aircraft, integrating safety, space and efficiency.
The L380's head shape is friendly and powerful, with the daytime running lights like a smiling face welcoming guests, and the peanut headlights on the left and right sides implying good things are happening; the tail shape is eclectic, with the peacock-spreading lighting effect design shining brightly; the side waistline design conforms to the golden ratio, and with the cheetah's posture, it is elegant and dynamic. Its instrument panel adopts a layered and embracing design, and the central console design is inspired by yachts.
The L380 has an extra-long body of 5316mm and a wheelbase of 3185mm. The overall "cabin occupancy rate" reaches 75%, and the per capita cabin area is greater than 1.13 square meters.
The spacious space also brings an innovative seat layout of "super three, magic four". On the basis of the first and second row space leading the same level, the third row space of L380 reaches 940mm. At the same time, it also has a fourth row of seats that can be hidden under the floor of the luggage compartment, which can be called "magic space".
In terms of storage, unlike traditional MPV models where there is nowhere to put luggage when the three rows are full, the L380 has a trunk space of up to 1,100 liters when all six seats are full, which can easily accommodate 9 24-inch suitcases.
The L380 has also put a lot of effort into creating a sense of luxury. The seat skin layer is made of ultra-soft aniline leather fabric, which has 10 million micropores per square meter to ensure breathability. At the same time, all seats in the car are equipped with ventilation and heating functions, and the ventilation function uses suction technology, which is more efficient and comfortable.
In terms of the smart cockpit, the L380 builds a comprehensive smart hardware base with a "12369" solution that includes 1 5G Ethernet, 2 Dragon Eagle No. 1 chips, 3 types of wireless transmission, 6 audio zones and 9 screen linkage.
L380 also introduced SenseTime SenseNova5.0 large model for the first time, introducing AI technology into the automotive field. The above AI large model can be transformed into a health butler, helping users to accurately monitor multiple health indicators such as the passenger's heart rate, breathing rate and blood oxygen concentration. It can also be transformed into an all-round encyclopedia to assist users in handling business matters and chatting and singing with children.
In terms of safety, the L380 uses 28 sensing components to successfully build 10 sensing systems including night perception, 540° panoramic perception, driving posture perception, etc., as well as 24 intelligent executions such as automatic parking and dTCS intelligent anti-skid, to build a safe defense circle and provide drivers and passengers with a more secure experience.
Nan Shengliang, global CEO of LEVC, commented on this car: "18 years ago, Geely was determined to make Chinese cars run all over the world, so Geely invested in LEVC and took the first step in its globalization journey. Now, relying on Geely's global technology system, the continuously evolving LEVC will also provide more users with high-end luxury travel experience."
