The official diagram of the ideal L9 was released
Top: Ideal ONE / Bottom: Ideal L9
Following the release of the interior official drawing last week, this week Ideal Auto released the official shape of the new large SUV L9 and more. Judging from the official photo, the front face of the ideal L9 adopts a very simple design language, there is a "horn" above the roof, and the interior should be a lidar system. The visual center is an extremely crisp and neat one-piece transverse light strip, unlike the ideal ONE light strip, which is made up of three pieces of splicing. Headlights are integrated on both sides of the encirclement, and below them are the heat dissipation and air intakes for the range extender. In contrast, the ideal ONE looks more like a traditional fuel vehicle, while the L9's all-through light strip and the design of the no middle network have more flavor of new energy vehicles.
The side design of the ideal L9 is not much different from the ideal ONE, it is still a relatively calm and concise style, and the overall line is stable and steady, which is very in line with the chinese consumers' cognition of large-size SUVs. In terms of size, the ideal L9 is positioned in a large SUV, the size is between the BMW X7 and the Mercedes-Benz GLS, compared to its own ideal ONE is significantly larger. In addition, the Ideal L9 features large tires of the 265/45 R21 specification, which are more harmonious with the 5.2-meter length.
The rear of the ideal L9 is even more simple, and there is hardly any presence design except for a through-the-end light. This moderate and calm style is obviously not wrong and is acceptable to the vast majority of consumers.
The interior part was announced in advance last week, the biggest highlight of the ideal L9 is the cancellation of the traditional dashboard, replaced by a large HUD head-up display, and the central control, co-pilot, rear row all have a 15.7-inch OLED 3K resolution entertainment screen, the vehicle is equipped with a dual Qualcomm 8155 car machine chip, the rear row also has a heatable, coolable incubator, in addition to being used as a refrigerator, can also be used to heat the baby's milk.
It is worth mentioning that when the interior of the Ideal L9 was released last week, many people were curious about what the black area on the steering wheel was, and this week's puzzle was revealed. The black area on the steering wheel is a narrow Mini-LED display, supporting multi-touch, used to display the vehicle's speed, endurance, power consumption and other key information, with the FRONT HUD head-up display, completely liberating the central control screen, no longer need to rely on the central control screen to display speed and other content like Tesla.
In terms of seat configuration, the L9 comes standard with a 6-seat layout of 2+2+2, and the 6 seats of the whole vehicle support electric adjustment and seat heating, and the seats in the front two rows also support seat ventilation and seat massage. At the same time, the seats are also covered in Nappa leather, and the second row of seats also supports electric leg rests and small table panels.
In terms of audio, the current official said that the ideal L9 is equipped with a 21-speaker sound system, with a total power of 2160 watts, which is a very exaggerated power. You know, the 27-speaker Berlin sound sound on the Maybach S-class, commonly known as "Greater Berlin", has a power consumption of only 1590 watts. For audio, in addition to the sound quality tuning, the higher the power consumption in theory, the more shocking the sound quality.
In terms of power, the ideal L9 will use a 1.5T four-cylinder gasoline engine as a generator, driven by dual motors front and rear, and has a 44.5kWh battery pack and a 65L fuel tank. Under CLTC conditions, the pure electric endurance is 200km, and the comprehensive endurance of full oil and full power is 1200km, which is slightly longer than the current ideal ONE's NEDC comprehensive 1080km endurance. Previously, the official said that the ideal L9 is priced at 450,000-500,000 yuan, which is believed to be more expensive than many people expect, but the specific product performance of the vehicle will not be evaluated until it is officially listed for test drive.
New Han DM-i and DM-p released
Recently, BYD released the new Han DM-i and Han DM-p models in the Han series, and the new car has now opened pre-sale, of which the han DM-i pre-price is 216,800-29.28 million yuan, and the han DM-p pre-price is 323,800 yuan.
New Han DM-i
In terms of shape design, Han DM-i has little change compared to the front face of Han DM on sale, and it is still BYD DragonFace design language, which is extremely recognizable, but it has done a more rounded process in the details of the middle net and encirclement. The biggest change in the tail is the taillights, although the taillights of the new model are still through-through design, but the overall style is softer, and the sides also add a woven structure from the traditional Chinese knot, which is quite beautiful.
BYD Han DM-p
Dm-p has little difference in appearance compared to DM-i, only in rim design. It is worth mentioning that since the HamM-p is positioned in the high-performance version, the vehicle can also be equipped with lightweight sports rims and offer Brembo high-performance brake calipers.
In terms of interior, the new Han series models have not changed much, still using a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument, with a 15.6-inch rotatable central control screen design, built-in the latest DiLink 4.0 operating system, support for 5G car networking. In addition, the overall interior surrounds the cockpit atmosphere, or has a certain sense of luxury, and even a bit of Mercedes-Benz taste.
Compared to the little changed shape and interior, the most interesting change in the new model is actually the power. Among them, the Han DM-i adopts a 1.5T DM-i plug-in mixing system, the engine has a power output of 139 horsepower and 231N·m, and the front axle drive motor is available in 197 hp and 218 hp versions. Among them, the high-power version of 0-100km/h accelerates by 7.9 seconds, with a 37.5kWh large battery, NEDC pure electric endurance of 242km, loss of power fuel consumption of 4.2L/100km, comprehensive endurance of 1300km, support 80kW power fast charging. At the same time, the DM-i version also supports the mobile power station function, which can realize the external discharge of up to 6000 watts of power, not only can power the induction cooker, electric kettle and other electrical appliances outdoors, but also can make temporary charging piles for other electric vehicles.
Han DM-p is on the basis of DM-i, added a rear axle drive motor to achieve electric four-wheel drive, the maximum power of the rear axle motor is 272 horsepower, 0-100km/h only 3.7 seconds, which is 1 second faster than the 4.7 seconds of the 2.0T Han DM on sale! In terms of batteries, Han DM-p is also equipped with a 3.75kWh battery, but due to the higher power of the drive motor, the NEDC pure battery life is 202km, which is 40km less than DM-i. As for the fuel consumption of the lost power, the fuel consumption of the Han DM-p is 5.2L/100km, considering the leap in acceleration, the fuel consumption of 5.2L is already an excellent performance.
In addition to the release of new Han series models, this week BYD also announced that its Tang, Song, Qin, Yuan, Dolphin, E2 and other new energy models rose by 3,000-6,000 yuan, as for the reason for the price increase, in fact, it is because of the recent sharp increase in raw material prices. Due to the recent international tension, coupled with the large number of new energy vehicles using lithium batteries, the international lithium mine price has soared by 70% since the Spring Festival, and the new energy vehicles of major manufacturers have also been forced to increase prices, which is the same as the recent domestic high gasoline prices.

Tesla has raised its price three times in a row
Compared with BYD's small price increase, Tesla not only increased its price by a higher margin, but also rose many times in a row. Among them, the domestic Model Y first raised the two versions of the dual-motor four-wheel drive by 10,000 yuan on March 10, and then raised the two four-wheel drive versions by 18,000 yuan and 20,000 yuan on March 15. After experiencing two price increases, the price of the two four-wheel drive model Y rose from 347,900 and 387,900 yuan before the price increase to 375,900 and 417,900 yuan. Immediately after March 17, the single-motor rear-wheel drive "cai version" Model Y also announced a price increase of 15,060 yuan, and the price after the price adjustment was 316,900 yuan.
The domestic Model 3 also raised prices twice on March 10 and 15, respectively, of which the rear-drive version of the model rose from 265,652 yuan to 279,900 yuan. The four-wheel drive high-performance version rose from 339,900 yuan before the price increase to 367,900 yuan. It is worth mentioning that if the user who has already booked a car before the price increase, he will also buy according to the price before the price increase, but if he orders a new car now, he will have to buy it according to the price after the price increase.

Musk threatened to single out Putin
Recently, the international situation has been turbulent, Tesla CEO and the world's richest man Musk publicly challenged Russian President Putin on his social account, saying that he would go head-to-head with Putin, and the winner would directly own Ukraine. Subsequently, he alone @ the official account of the Kremlin, very arrogant. Chechen President Kadyrov said after hearing the news that he advised Musk not to try to compete with Putin and invited Musk to chechnya first for combat training. Kadyrov said that if Putin goes head-to-head with the weak and defeats each other, it will appear unsportsmanlike.
Although Putin is 70 years old this year, 19 years older than Musk, after all, Putin is from the Russian secret service department "KGB", has a background of agents and soldiers, and usually shows people as a tough guy, even if he is really single-handed, I am afraid that Musk does not have the certainty of victory. Interestingly, after the Chechen president made a proposal, Musk also said: Thank the Chechen president for his advice, but if he receives training, it will give himself too much advantage, and he can even single out Putin with his left hand. Putin, who is currently entangled in international affairs, obviously will not take Musk's remarks seriously, after all, as the president of a big country, if he pays attention to the provocations of a businessman, it is really self-degrading.
