Ideal is a very maverick brand in the new car-making forces, and unlike the multi-point blossoming of Weilai and Xiaopeng, the ideal is only with one of its medium-sized and large SUV, the ideal ONE, which will leave Xiaopeng and Weilai far behind. According to the editor's understanding, the ideal ONE achieved 12268 vehicles in January 2022, and after being affected by the epidemic in February, it also reached 8414 vehicles, which was much more than the sales of Xiaopeng and Weilai.
The comprehensive reason is actually very simple, in the price range of more than 300,000 yuan, the ideal ONE is the only one that gives away a green card, and the space is large 6-seat SUV, as for the so-called 1.2T three-cylinder engine is also far from being obscured by its light points.
However, just recently, Ideal has released the details of its new car Ideal L9, the new car positioning is naturally higher than the current model, and will adopt a large 7-seat layout, but at the same time, its price is expected to be around 450,000-500,000 yuan.
First of all, according to the official exposure of the photo, as a new flagship model, the interior style of the ideal L9 is different from other manufacturers and current models, and adopts a more technological design. The most intuitive thing is to eliminate the LCD dashboard, but to integrate a small size screen inside the multi-function steering wheel, of course, what to display is unknown.
Although there is no LCD instrument, it is replaced by an oversized HUD head-up display that displays speed, navigation, and endurance, and the projection area is also large, so that the driver does not need to look down at other information, improving safety.
In the central control area and the panel in front of the co-driver, a floating screen is adopted, its size is 15.7 inches each, and there is no need to worry about the running speed, as a flagship model, it has built-in the latest car specification-level chip 8155, which is not only faster in speed, but also richer in functions.
In the second row, you can see that the car has a large space, the display picture uses independent seats, and with armrest and leg rest functions, the sense of premium and heavy feeling of the seat is also stronger than the ideal ONE, and in terms of functionality, seat heating, ventilation and massage are expected to be mounted.
In addition, there is a small table board hidden behind the passenger seat, which is more convenient for office or to place items. Through careful observation, it will also be found that behind the central armrest box, there is a larger Xiaoice box design under the independent air conditioner, which also houses a bottle, and a 15.7-inch foldable screen is also provided above the roof, which undoubtedly means that its positioning is still the "Daddy" car. According to the ideal official, these three screens have a resolution of 3K and the ultimate degree of color reproduction.
Other aspects can confirm that this ideal L9 has a body size of more than 5 meters, is a full-size flagship SUV, and the space will naturally not disappoint consumers. In terms of powertrain, it is still the main extender hybrid system, but the power system has been upgraded compared to the current ideal ONE, equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder engine as a range extender, and the electric drive system will also be upgraded.
Then again, if you happened to be holding a budget of 500,000, would you wait for such a full-size SUV model?
