Last week, IM L7 completed the CN95 fresh air cabin evaluation at CATARC. The evaluation results showed that the content of “Benzene and its homologues and Acrolein” in the air of IM L7 was only one-tenth of the national standard. IM Automotive also demonstrated the reasons behind the excellent test results through a workshop.
IM stated that in order to create a healthy cabin, IM Automotive invested millions of yuan to create a “purification workshop” covering tens of thousands of square meters, which controls the entire industry chain from raw materials to interior parts. IM leaves the parts in a “bare” state to air them out. At the same time, with the help of ventilation design and formaldehyde removal plans, the parts receive 7*24-hour ventilation and formaldehyde removal. These parts can only be installed in vehicles after receiving 7-10 days of “washing” in the “purification workshop”.
At the same time, IM L7 is also very particular about the materials used in the car. It uses German Bavaria half-phenylamine leather and Italian Como Lake solid wood decorative panels, which are the same as those used in Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
Generally speaking, plastic particles are the main culprit of “new car smell”. The interior plastic raw materials of IM L7 are custom-made with ultra-low odor PP basic materials, and each component goes through a series of processes such as raw material particle treatment, parts baking to remove odors, and washing of leather raw materials. They are supplemented with low-odor environmentally friendly additives.
From actual experience, sitting in the IM L7 cabin does not have the slightest “new car smell”, and there is no smell of leather or wood. Although air quality is not something that can be “smelled” by the nose, CATARC’s evaluation results are the best endorsement.
During the epidemic, more and more consumers are paying attention to air quality issues, and cabin air is gradually becoming a new “internal competition” direction. In this regard, IM seems to be more sensitive than other new forces.
Air quality is the benchmark for cabin experience. Coupled with excellent listening experience, the cabin experience can be taken to new heights.
IM L7 is equipped with 22 speakers and a 1120W power amplifier in the cabin, and its hardware is absolutely not inferior to any flagship model of any current new force. In addition, the IM L7 central control triple screen is driven by an 8155 chip, which can meet the entertainment needs of the co-pilot during driving, but its stability and richness of functions still need continuous OTA upgrades in the future.
