In 2021, the ideal car can be described as a full pot, relying on an ideal ONE alone to win nearly 100,000 sales, from the data point of view compared to Xiaopeng, Weilai is indeed much brighter. However, some people also question that the extender is always a bit of a sheep's head to sell dog meat, the same is the use of gasoline, but it can be called a new energy vehicle, but also enjoy various policy benefits. Moreover, the ideal car has been established for many years, and there has always been only one model, and it is even more lacking in a pure electric vehicle model, so the extremely low-speed process is really puzzling.
Money is king, no matter what kind of questions the outside world has about the range extender, the second model of Ideal Auto to be listed this year is also a range extender. The car is named X01, positioned higher than ONE, positioned higher than the size of the large, and the price is naturally a little high to climb.
According to the existing information, the ideal X01 body length reached 5180mm, wheelbase is 2100mm, according to the model planning exposed on the Internet, the price of the car is between 350,000-500,000 yuan, if it is likely to launch only one version like the ideal ONE, it is likely to be positioned at about 400,000 yuan. It is understood that the model of the car is the Mercedes-Benz GLS.
So, compared to the ideal ONE, is the X01 just a little bigger? It is not so, it is reported that X01 will replace the previous 1.2T three-cylinder engine provided by Dongan Power with a 1.5T four-cylinder engine powered by Mianyang Xinchen Power. Although the working principle of the extended range is that the engine does not directly drive the vehicle, but as a tool for generating electricity, the X01 is always larger, which means more energy consumption, so to strengthen the power output of the engine, the electricity can naturally be quickly supplied.
To tell the truth, for a new car-making force, survival is the most important. Judging from the financial report data, the ideal vehicle gross profit margin in 2021 reached the highest 21.1%, surpassing Weilai Automobile and approaching Tesla. In this way, the ideal operating conditions are indeed getting more and more ideal, and if the new car X01 is priced at about 400,000 yuan, it is expected that the gross profit margin of the vehicle will be further improved.
In the third quarter of 2021, WEILAI's revenue was 9.805 billion yuan and net profit was -835 million yuan; Xiaopeng's revenue was 5.720 billion yuan and net profit was -1.595 billion yuan; and the ideal revenue was 7.775 billion yuan and net profit was -21.5 million yuan. The losses of Weilai and Xiaopeng are expanding, while the losses of the ideal third quarter are narrowing at a very fast rate, and it should be known that its net profit in the second quarter was -236 million yuan.
It can be seen that even if the ideal car does not take the pure electric route now, but relying on the extender, the ability to return blood is far greater than that of Xiaopeng and Weilai.
Auto Network Review: The ideal car solves the pain points, but does not solve the attitude
In terms of stop loss, the ideal car is certainly more superb than Xiaopeng and Weilai, but it is obvious that the ideal pays too much attention to the present and lacks a long-term layout. Not only pure electric models, but also the promotion of intelligent technology, the ideal layout is slower than Xiaopeng and Weilai. In addition, the ideal CEO is not once or twice, so although the ideal has a strong stop loss ability, it is easier to solve some existing pain points, but it has not yet solved the problem of attitude.
