Overview

The IM L7 was revealed as a prototype on 19 April 2021, at Auto Shanghai, alongside the IM LS7 concept SUV and Airo concept car.[1] On the same day, the car went on pre-sale.[2] The L7 is intended to be a competitor of the shorter Tesla Model S in the Chinese car market, with its IM AD autonomous driving system, and went on sale in Q1 2022.[3]
Specifications
The IM L7 uses the company's IM AD intelligent driving system, which uses Nvidia's Jetson Xavier chipset, LIDAR, 12 cameras, 5 millimeter wave radars, and 12 ultrasonic sensors. This enables the car to be driven autonomously on freeways and semi-autonomously on city streets, as well be summoned by the driver and parked by itself.[3]
The base variant of the L7 uses a single rear motor with 340 hp (250 kW; 340 PS), while the top-level variant uses a twin-motor setup, with 237 hp (177 kW; 240 PS) in the front motor and 340 hp (250 kW; 340 PS) in the back, each of the motors using a 93 kWh battery with a NEDC range of 615 km (382 mi).[3] The IM L7 uses wireless charging.[4]
The chassis used for the IM L7 was developed with input of British engineering consultant Williams Advanced Engineering, which features four wheel steering and a CDC electronic-controlled damping system.[3]
Interior
The interior features both a 39 in (99 cm) dashboard touchscreen and a 12.3 in (31 cm) center touchscreen, as well touchpads on the steering wheel. The car is equipped with a 22-speaker sound system with a total output of 1120 watts.[3]
