Although the ideal car is a new force for car manufacturing, compared with Xiaopeng and Weilai, the ideal car does not take the mixed or pure electric route in the technical route, but adopts the range extender power. Although the range extender power has been controversial from time to time in the current market, many people have complained that it is a pseudo-new energy vehicle. However, the ideal first model, the ideal ONE, did not perform badly in the market.
Of course, in terms of product planning, the ideal car is relatively low-key compared to other new car-making forces, and there have been four pieces in the brand for more than six years since its establishment, but at present, there is only one ideal ONE in the market. Compared with the increasingly well-established product lineup of other brands, the ideal car seems to be really slow. Fortunately, in 2022, ideal cars may have to deliver a second model to our consumers, which is currently named ideal X01 and positioned as a full-size SUV model. From the perspective of positioning, the ideal X01 will be higher and more expensive than the ideal ONE after the future listing. So, can its arrival still sell as well as the ideal ONE?
First of all, from the currently exposed product force information point, the appearance can be seen according to the previous spy photo, the overall visual experience is very domineering, there is an aura, but compared to the ideal ONE, it is expected to cancel the large-sized mid-grid design, and instead use a closed grille, such a design is more in line with the positioning of a new energy model. In terms of body size, the ideal X01 is expected to be 5200mm, 1998mm and 1800mm in length, width and height, respectively, and 3100mm above the wheelbase. Above the interior, according to the currently exposed spy photo, it can be seen that the design of its steering wheel shape and the design of the center console area are expected to change, and the steering wheel of the ideal X01 is more simple on the spy map.
Above, it can be seen that intelligent driver assistance systems such as dual screen design, HUD, two-row screen, TouchBar, and L4 will appear on this car. On the power, the new car will no longer use the current range extender power, and it is expected to use the second generation of range extender power platform, which will be equipped with a 1.5T engine and a 44.5kwh battery pack, which can achieve CLTC pure electric endurance of 200 kilometers and WLTC fuel range of 820 kilometers.
In terms of product strength, the ideal X01, as a full-size SUV, is not expected to be too bad in all aspects. At present, the price of the ideal ONE is more than 300,000 yuan, according to the positioning of the ideal X01, Xiaobian boldly predicted that it may be around 500,000 yuan. Rationally speaking, 500,000 to buy a full-size SUV still sounds like a great value. The most important consideration for the ideal X01 is naturally whether the ideal brand strength can support its positioning. After all, as far as the current new car-making forces are concerned, it is rare to be able to increase the brand's premium ability to the level of 500,000. Of course, if there is no problem with the ideal brand premium ability, the ideal X01 car still has a good audience. Especially for small partners in the cold areas of the north, compared with pure electric models, this extended range model is a reasonable choice.
In the end, there are not many extended range models in terms of the current market. The ideal ONE is also a FREE launched by Dongfeng's high-end brand Lantu. Judging from the acceptance of the market, it is actually possible. So, everyone says that the ideal X01, which is higher than the ideal ONE positioning, can be sold well after the future listing?
