Starting from 239,800 yuan, Zhiji LS8 NEO begins to counter the "configuration list"
In the past two years, 250,000-yuan new energy SUVs have easily fallen into a kind of homogeneity. Refrigerators, color TVs, and large sofas are becoming more and more common, and 800V and high-end assisted driving have gradually changed from the selling points of a few models to an increasingly standardized configuration list. So an interesting question arises: When everyone has these things, how can one car rely on to widen the gap? On November 5, the Zhiji LS8 NEO pure electric product was officially launched, with an equity price starting from 239,800 yuan. The answer given by this car is somewhat "returning to nature". This time Zhiji did not just emphasize a certain new function, but directly set the promotional slogan into eight words: build cars seriously, build cars with good technology. At first glance, this doesn’t seem like the sexiest expression of the new energy era. But in today's market environment, it is worth considering. In the past few years, China's new energy vehicles have quickly completed a round of equipment parity: seats, speakers, and refrigerators that only cost hundreds of thousands of yuan for luxury cars have been decentralized to the 200,000 yuan level; high-voltage fast charging, large-model cockpits, and high-end assisted driving have become increasingly difficult to become the unique story of a car company. The industry begins to enter the next stage. Consumers will eventually ask some very simple questions again: how does this car drive, whether the safety redundancy is sufficient, whether the battery and three batteries are reliable, whether it is comfortable to sit on, and whether it will be outdated in a few years. What LS8 NEO wants to fight for is actually these things. As the configurations become more and more similar, the chassis begins to re-determine the character of a car. The core difference of LS8 NEO still comes from the chassis. All new cars are equipped with a fully wired Skink chassis and are equipped with two-way 24° rear-wheel steering. According to official data, the minimum turning radius of this large SUV can reach 4.85 meters. Steer-by-wire has further changed the logic of traditional mechanical steering systems. There is a mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the front wheels of a traditional car
