In the current new car-making forces, the ideal car should be relatively moist. Although there is only one model of the ideal ONE, the sales volume has surpassed that of Weilai and Xiaopeng. However, if the brand wants to develop for a long time, it is obviously not possible to go it alone, so the ideal is also constantly promoting new products.
Recently, two consecutive new car information exposure, one is the ideal L9, previously codenamed X01, positioned in the full-size flagship SUV model, its body size exceeds the Land Rover Range Rover, the length of 5 meters 2, and the wheelbase is 3 meters 1, using a 6-seat layout inside. And in terms of configuration, it can be regarded as everything, such as five-screen interaction, self-adjusting intelligent air suspension, dynamic suspension damping control system, 120-color atmosphere lights, upgradable L4 level automatic driving and so on.
In terms of core power, the ideal L9 also changed the three-cylinder engine on the ideal ONE in the past, and instead used the 1.5T four-cylinder as a range extender and the Great Wall Honeycomb motor to provide driving force, and the zero hundred acceleration time can reach 5.8S, comparable to the performance of the 5.0T V8 displacement, and the comprehensive endurance can reach 800KM. The future price of the ideal L9 will reach the 500,000 class, compared with the Mercedes-Benz GLS.
The other is the model codenamed X02, or named the Ideal L7, which has relatively little information about the car, and is known to be 5030mm long and 3 meters in wheelbase, which is larger than the Ideal ONE. It is reported that in terms of power, the car will also use a 1.5T four-cylinder engine as a range extender, and there is no news about the motor at present. In the future, its price will be in the 300,000-400,000 level, and the benchmark product is Mercedes-Benz GLE.
With the ideal L9 benchmark Mercedes-Benz GLS, with the ideal L7 benchmark Mercedes-Benz GLE, I have to say that the ideal car is more and more confident, but also really as a luxury brand in operation. But can these two cars really sell as well as the ideal ONE in the future? This is a question that is worth pondering and questioning.
Although the ideal ONE price is not cheap, reaching 338,000, the price has also squeezed into the luxury entry level, and with the advantage of misplaced competition, it may also win the top BMW X1 Audi Q3 and other users. But if the price goes up a little bit, the point of consumer consideration will be completely different. For example, the future price of the ideal L7 will be much cheaper than the price of the benchmark GLE and BMW X5, but if the same price, more people may be willing to choose the BMW X3 Mercedes-Benz GRC, and the L9 is the same reason, if the price reaches 500,000, the luxury brand competitors will be more, the brand is the ideal short board, but it is a very important thing for potential users at this price. Weilai ES8 is a good example, only about one or two thousand units per month, on the one hand, the reason is actually too high. Therefore, in the 500,000-level field, it is actually quite difficult for domestic products to sell a hot-selling achievement like BBA. However, as a Chinese, we are of course still looking forward to the national production capacity getting better and better, and we will wait and see whether the ideal will break the inherent brand bias.
