The Livan 7 is a battery electric compact crossover SUV manufactured by Livan Automotive.[1]
Overview[edit]
Originally previewed by the Livan RL7 Concept at The 2022 Chongqing Auto Show in June 2022,[2] the Livan 7 is the second product of the renamed Livan brand and sits in the compact crossover space (A-class in China) of the brand's line up.[1]
The Livan 7 rides on the GBRC architecture and has a drag coefficient of 0.238Cd. The Livan 7's base model features a 120 kW (161 hp; 163 PS) electric motor, while all other higher configurations is equipped with a 180 kW (241 hp; 245 PS) electric motor. The 120 kW motor version powers the front wheels, whereas the other 180 kW variants are rear-wheel drive. The base model uses a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension, while other more upmarket models feature a five-link independent suspension. The Livan 7 also offers two range variants including 450 km (280 mi) and 605 km (376 mi) all-electric range versions. The two versions are equipped with the 50 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack and the 68 kWh Ternary lithium battery pack, respectively, with both batteries supplied by Guo Xuan High-Tech. The Livan 7 also has battery swapping capability, as the battery swapping service is facilitated by Geely's E-ENERGEE platform.[3]
The driving assist systems of the Livan 7 includes a level 2+ advanced driving assistance system, which has hard wares including one lidar, five 4D millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, and “Geely Future Mobility Constellation” supported satellite positioning. The constellation of Geely consist of 240 satellites, with the first phase of 72 satellites placed in orbit by 2025. The second phase consists of 168 satellites. The computing platform of the Livan 7 is equipped with Geely's self-developed Dragon Eagle-1 automotive-grade 7 nm chip.
The interior design of the Livan 7 is symmetrical, with a 15.6-inch central control screen positioning in the center and a 9.2 in (23 cm) instrument panel behind a two-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel. The cockpit is also paired with a 50 in (130 cm) AR-HUD.[4]
