IM LS7

[Most Satisfied] The newly added intelligent four-wheel steering system is a major highlight. With a maximum one-way rear-wheel steering angle of 6¡ã, the turning radius is reduced to 5.3 meters, which is only 84% of that of the BMW X5. In scenarios such as narrow streets and parking lots, turning and U-turns are more flexible, comparable to those of small cars. When driving at high speeds, the rear wheels deflect in the same direction as the front wheels, making lane changes smoother, reducing roll, and enhancing handling quality and safety. In addition, IM Motors'Ê״´ "Spiritual Lizard Digital Chassis" integrates the four-wheel steering, brake-by-wire, and electric drive systems to achieve millisecond-level coordinated control of the vehicle's six degrees of freedom, enabling the chassis hardware to "work as a team".

I've been following the IM LS7 for two years. It's the "darling" of SAIC Group. The space is sufficient for an average family of three. I've hardly ever unfolded the front passenger seat since getting the car, and the second - row space is extremely roomy. The 2024 model also comes with adequate configurations. I've driven nearly 2,000 kilometers, and the average power consumption is a bit over 18 kWh. I'm quite satisfied since it's a mid - to large - sized SUV. The intelligent driving system is okay. Sometimes it doesn't seem as flexible and adaptable as a human driver, which is to be expected. All in all, for this generation - changing model, with a discount of over 110,000 yuan for the 2024 LS7, it's really a great deal, having all the features one would want.

[Car Purchase Experience]
I've looked at most high - end electric cars. Big brands can't shed their image baggage. It feels like they're just putting old wine in new bottles. Maybe well - known large enterprises have established paths. Domestic new players are more consumer - friendly and willing to make bold innovations. However, since cars are related to personal safety, I'm worried about potential safety hazards if they move too fast. Therefore, when buying a car, I focus more on hardware than software. For such a heavy vehicle, consequences like a broken axle would be terrible. After looking around, only the G9 and LS7 caught my eye. The G9 has good interior workmanship and mechanical quality. Moreover, its all - aluminum body is lighter, and it does a good job in entertainment. But IM Motors entered the market later, so their pricing is more aggressive. I wonder if they'll overcharge for maintenance in the future. However, most people who buy cars from these new players don't look that far ahead. Although state - owned enterprises have problems with operations and after - sales service, they should at least have a bottom line. So I settled on the LS7.
