In recent times, the ideal car can be said to be a continuous flow, first in February with the strong performance of the ideal ONE, regained the new force sales champion, and then the ideal second model was officially named L9, and will be launched at the Beijing Auto Show in April, which has made the ideal car highly concerned by the outside world.
Recently, the Internet has exposed another blockbuster news of the ideal car, the ideal ONE will cancel the existing 1.2T three-cylinder range extender, replaced by the same 1.5T four-cylinder range extender as the ideal L9, if the news is true, it is undoubtedly another improvement in the competitiveness of the ideal ONE. In addition, the ideal and another new car, the X02, has also made new exposure on the Internet.
How likely is the ideal ONE to swap the range extender?
According to the news on the Internet, the ideal ONE will be equipped with the same range extender of the L9 is the ideal internal message released, that is to say, the message is still relatively reliable. As for the dress-up time, the author personally guesses that it should not be earlier than before the listing of the ideal L9.
From the parameter point of view, the power system of the ideal L9 is composed of a 1.5T four-cylinder engine and a drive motor powered by the Great Wall Honeycomb, and the maximum power of the system can reach 300kW and the maximum torque of 600N·m. The ideal ONE's current three-cylinder range extender plus motor, its maximum power of the system is only 245kW, the maximum torque is only 455N·m, the performance gap between the two is clear at a glance.
At the same time, because the ideal ONE's body is smaller and lighter, if equipped with this powertrain, its zero-hundred acceleration performance is bound to be better than the ideal L9's 5.8s. For the ideal ONE, there will be a great improvement in competitiveness.
At present, the ideal ONE equipped with the 1.2T three-cylinder range extender has been constantly complained about, vibration, uneven, high fuel consumption a series of problems are always accompanied by the ideal ONE, which is priced at more than 300,000 yuan for a car, it is indeed a bit of a bargain. And in terms of fuel consumption, the ideal ONE has also been a great controversy, the point of controversy is that the ideal ONE fuel consumption of the green card is higher than the blue brand fuel vehicle, and the more advanced 1.5T four-cylinder range extender will also greatly solve the ideal ONE's current lack of power and experience.
Correspondingly, if replaced by a 1.5T four-cylinder range extender, it is bound to increase a lot of costs, and the increased cost will certainly be paid by consumers, so the ideal ONE price increase has become inevitable. At present, the ideal ONE has only one configuration choice, the price is 338,000 yuan, after replacing the four-cylinder range extender, the price is expected to increase to about 350,000 yuan, with the influence of the ideal ONE, I believe there will still be many consumers to pay.
Would the ideal X02 be a replacement agent wanting to one?
Some time ago, the Internet exposed the ideal X02 road test spy photos, according to the ideal car before the new car planning, the ideal X02 will be positioned as a medium and large six-seat SUV, and still based on the second generation of extender platform to build, the release time is set for 2023.
Because the camouflage of the road test is relatively thick, and only the design of the side rear can be seen, the effective design information obtained is very limited. However, from the overall point of view, the appearance of the road test car does not seem to be much different from the ideal L9, but it is obviously one size smaller than the ideal L9. Judging from the planning of the ideal car, the new car may be named L7 in the future.
However, there are also said on the Internet that the ideal X02 is a replacement agent to think of ONE, because according to the information previously exposed, the ideal X02 body length is 5030mm, the wheelbase is 3000mm, compared with the current ideal ONE, it is only a small improvement, plus the same six-seat layout, if it is a new model, it is bound to overlap with the positioning of the ideal ONE.
Coupled with the fact that the ideal ONE is already a product launched in 2018, and it is indeed time for the replacement next year, it is not difficult to conclude that the ideal X02 is very likely to change the agent to think of ONE.
Write at the end:
Presumably, when the ideal ONE was listed in 2018, no one would have thought that a range extender product priced at more than 300,000 yuan would become the best-selling single model in the new forces, and the ideal in the past 4 years has been to rely on the ideal ONE a mass production car and a number of new forces hard, and also ranked among the top of the new force car companies. With the further improvement of the ideal ONE product strength and the arrival of the second mass production model, the sales of the ideal car is bound to usher in a new round of growth.
