New Car Introduction
The car’s appearance stands out. The design is bold. I was instantly attracted by the headlights when I first saw it. The brand logo sits at the center of the front. It extends to the left, up, and right. The front trunk also features light strips. The lower sides of the front have welcoming lights. It is quite subtle.
The side of the car still delivers a strong visual impact. It features a diving body shape, a two-tone design, and a multi-segment waistline. The manufacturer clearly aims to distinguish this electric model from gasoline cars. The car measures 4830 mm in length, 1845 mm in width, and 1503 mm in height. Its wheelbase spans 2731 mm, positioning it as a pure electric midsize vehicle.
The Lingxi L features electronic side mirrors as standard. This is a first in its class. The front doors have external welcome lights. These lights enhance the sense of occasion when opening the doors.
The rear lighting system remains the highlight. The through-type light group features a sharp design. The black components on both sides also contain lights. They will provide good visibility at night. The rear includes a segmented spoiler design. The first spoiler houses the high-mounted brake light.
The design inside the car features screens. The three-screen setup draws inspiration from a spaceship’s starry windows. The central screen, instrument screen, and passenger screen each measure 12.3 inches. The side mirror screens measure 7 inches. They have wide black borders to differentiate them from the other three screens. Users won’t worry about interference during use.
The Lingxi L prioritizes usability. It does not rely solely on screens. It features buttons for air conditioning control on the central console. This design is user-friendly. The front passenger air vent includes a retractable cup holder. This classic element adds practicality.
The rear armrest has a surprise. It includes a cup holder and a table. The table connects and locks to the back of the front armrest. It remains very stable. The front seats can fully recline. This creates a beach chair effect with the rear seats. The possibilities expand.
The Lingxi L features a drive motor from Zhixin Technology Co., Ltd. The model is TZ200XSBT1. It delivers a maximum power of 160 kW. The car uses a 59.22 kWh battery pack. It achieves a range of 520 kilometers under CLTC conditions.
