Maesima Motor Corporation unveiled its sL1000 premium luxury sedan for the Sachiuri brand at the 2017 Antiyita International Motor Show, the new flagship of the brand’s model line-up. The all-new Sachiuri sL1000 will compete at the top of the luxury car segment with truly world-class design and technological innovations with the highest levels of refinement, convenience and dynamic performance.
The sL1000 builds on Sachiuri’s unmistakable Evoco design language introduced with the entry-level sL200 sedan. The strikingly bold design with a coupe-like silhouette punctuated by flowing organic Evoco design language. A new driver-centric performance feel comes from building the sL1000 on the company’s all-new critically acclaimed rear wheel drive global architecture for luxury vehicles (SL.I). This premium rear-wheel-drive platform, an extended version of the one used for the stunning new Sachiuri Sagitta sports coupe, will offer a more dynamic experience on the road while further improving comfort.
The sL1000 silhouette is both powerful and refined, with its prominent hood, generous wheelbase, minimized overhangs and sophisticated rear deck surfacing. Inside the cabin, fine materials and textures from around the world meet refined ergonomics to provide occupants with absolute convenience and luxurious comfort.The sL1000 stands out from the field with its flowing organic design and supreme quality. It’s strikingly bold exterior highlight the companies design ethos to focus on the creating a vehicle that is both luxurious yet unique and bold.
“The sL1000 is the flagship of the Sachiuri brand", said chief designer, Erik Schweitzer "We’re taking on an extremely competitive segment, which is why more than any other model, it has to embody everything the brand stands for and that’s why we’ve been so extensive and focused in all elements of its development.”
At its market introduction, the all-new Sachiuri sL1000 will start out with the option of RWD or Sachirui’s X-TRAC AWD system and three engine options in most markets, an extensively re-engineered 3.2 V6 ActivBoost engine, the 4.4 V8 ActivBoost version. But the big news is all-new flagship V10 engine, this naturally aspirated 4.5 develops over 500 hp. All engines offer supreme refinement, ample performance and high efficiency. Appearing later will be a mild hybrid variant developed with new battery technology which will drive down fuel consumption even further in real driving conditions.
In addition to bold styling, new powertrains and opulent interior, the sL1000 is full of innovative technology. Its the most advanced vehicle Sachiuri have ever built. From launch, the vehicle will be available with Sachiuri’s automatic driver and traffic control system that enables Level 3 autonomous driving. The car takes over the task of driving in certain situations. Unlike at Level 2, the driver no longer needs to monitor it permanently.
They must merely be capable of taking back responsibility whenever the system prompts them to, with the system active, the driver can relax. They can take their hands off the steering wheel permanently and, depending on national laws, focus on a different activity that is supported by the car, such as watch a TV program on the 12-inch SACHIURI iX infotainment display in the centre console.
During highly automated travel a small camera in the driving area detects if the driver tires or falls sleep. If that happens, a multi-stage warning is given. As soon as the speed rises above 60 km/h (37.3 mph) or the line of vehicles breaks up, the traffic jam pilot informs the driver that they need to take charge of driving once again. If they ignore this prompt and the subsequent warnings, the new sL1000 is braked to a standstill.
Detailed information will soon be available on the Sachiuri webpage.
