The ideal L9 can be said to be the recent car industry Internet celebrity, why does it dare to sell to 500,000? Is the product really that strong?
To say that the most popular car recently, it must be the ideal L9. As more information was exposed step by step, this "net red" also gradually revealed its mysterious veil from holding the pipa half-covered. Then let's take a look at the ideal second car, what is the strength, why does it dare to sell to 500,000?
The block is big enough, and the appearance has a certain sense of technology
First of all, let's take a look at the appearance of the new car, in fact, in this piece, the independent brand does not have to worry at all, basically all manufacturers have passed the stage of using pompous eyeballs, the shape design is more mature, and it is more imaginative and forward-looking than the joint venture brand. The ideal L9 also meets this feature, the overall body contour is more traditional, but some details with a sense of technology make it look different.
Its sense of technology is mainly concentrated in the front and rear of the car, there is a penetrating LED daytime running light under the front cover, and the real lighting of the headlight group is located on the lower sides. The slender, elongated taillights at the rear have a good echo with the daytime lights at the front of the car, adding to the sense of wholeness.
Careful observation, will find that there is a "sky eye" directly above the front of the car, which is an indispensable lidar for new energy vehicles this year, it seems that in the intelligent driving assistance piece, the ideal L9 will also have a relatively good performance.
Its body side makes people feel familiar, as if it is only on the basis of the ideal ONE to do equal proportions of enlargement, although the freshness is not so strong, but such a shape is for the function of service, straight lines are more conducive to the use of space in the car. In addition to the size, the most obvious change should be the change from the mechanical door handle of the ideal ONE to a concealed one. The 21-inch low-wind resistance wheels, matching the burly figure, are tyres for the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV with dimensions of 265/45 R21.
From the perspective of body size, the ideal L9 is definitely a big man, compared with some of the luxury brands we know well, compared with the large SUV, the aura is definitely pinched, and the space will be more outstanding, both of which are in line with the tastes of the Chinese. But such a large size may bring inconvenience to our daily driving and parking.
It is your duty to enjoy the car
Let's take a look at the interior, not surprisingly, it is the most popular minimalist technology style nowadays. Like the exterior, the interior of the L9 also continues the style of the ideal ONE, the interior is covered with flat lines, while the beige color scheme brings a warm and homely atmosphere. In terms of materials, since it has sold to 500,000, it is believed that it will not disappoint.
I don't know when to start, the atmosphere of large screen, multi-screen began to prevail in the automotive field, the new car does not install a few large screens can not be said, so the ideal L9 came a "five-screen linkage", the central control screen, the co-pilot entertainment screen and the rear cabin entertainment screen, are the size of 15.7 inches of the car specification OLED screen, larger than the screen of my laptop. At the same time, their resolution reaches 3K, and it is believed that they will have a very good display effect.
The other two screens, one is a large HUD head-up display, and the other is extremely rarely installed on the steering wheel, known as the Safe Driving Interactive Screen, which can display some of the most commonly used driving information. It feels fresh, but when you think about it, it's actually moving the traditional dashboard to the steering wheel, which feels a bit innovative for the sake of innovation, which may not be too practical. If you think about it, as soon as the steering wheel turns, the screen has to rotate, and if you keep staring at it, you may have to spit yourself out. Fortunately, there is a HUD, so it is recommended to get more information from the HUD, but I don't know if the HUD is standard for the whole series.
Look at the picture of its back row, I think this is a car built for the family with children, the father is driving in the front, the mother is using the high-definition screen in the co-driver, putting the child behind, the rear cabin entertainment screen puts a cartoon, the small table board opens the child's toys, several cup holders behind the armrest box, and the child has more bottles and water bottles that can be put down.
The biggest problem may be that if there are two children, there may be disputes over different treatment, because it is obvious from the picture that sitting on the left rear seat is not enjoyable on the small table board, and it is not certain whether the left rear seat has a leg rest that can be lifted and lowered. Therefore, for the sake of family harmony, you can guess the boxing before getting on the car to decide who sits on the left and who sits on the right back this time.
But in addition, the ideal L9 seat is still very bright, from the data point of view, it adopts a 2 + 2 + 2 six-seat layout, 6 seats are equipped with electric adjustment and seat heating, and the first two rows of 4 seats also have seat ventilation and SPA level ten point massage, while the seats are filled with Nappa leather and 3D comfort sponge, comfort full.
It is said that the audiovisual feast, so the visual and auditory are often tied together, and multiple large screens make the vision have a top enjoyment, so the hearing is best not to fall. Previously, many manufacturers' approach was to cooperate with well-known audio brands to carry out special research and development and tuning of a certain model. The ideal, on the other hand, uses a more laborious way of self-study.
Its sound team is led by The Dirac China Chief Tuning Team, which was responsible for the sound system for Volvo Bowers & Wilkins. The ideal L9 comes standard with 21 x 21 speakers, and the speaker materials are treble: aluminum film, midrange: Kevlar, and bass: carbon fiber. The external discharge power reaches 2160W, creating 7.3.4 Dolby Atmos stereo sound in the car. Although it is not particularly understandable, it makes people unclear, and I believe that the effect will be good. What cinema will you go to after this, the ideal L9 private theater is not more comfortable than that? Save money on movie tickets, buy a few more cups of milk tea, isn't it fragrant?
The range extender was upgraded to a 1.5T four-cylinder machine, but the short board was difficult to solve
We have finished talking about static related information, and here are some configurations about the dynamic performance of the new car. The first is driver assistance, the ideal L9 will be equipped with 128-line lidar, 1 DMS, 5 millimeter wave radar, 12 ultrasonic radar and 12 8M cameras, these hardware configurations meet the needs of L4 level conditional autonomous driving. That is to say, as long as the software and algorithms can be implemented, and the relevant laws and regulations allow it, then it can reach L4. This is what we often say, whether it can be used or not, but it must be.
In terms of power, it continues the form of the ideal ONE range extender hybrid, and one of the biggest changes is that the range extender replaces the previous 1.2T three-cylinder engine with a 1.5T four-cylinder engine. In fact, this is also the most complained about the ideal ONE, that is, about the noise and vibration of the range extender. I live in the community there are a lot of ideal ONE, I have also heard of the ideal ONE without electricity to start the range extender, that sound really pulled down the sense of grade of the vehicle a lot, I believe that the 1.5T four-cylinder machine will improve in NVH,
Judging from relevant reports, this 1.5T engine comes from Mianyang Xinchen Power, code-named CE15, which is a reduced cylinder version of CE16, which has been used in Dongfeng Fengshen AX7, Dongfeng Fengxing T5, Cheetah Mattu and Brilliance China V7 and other models. Therefore, this 1.5T engine is not a new development, but has been modified on the basis of the existing engine, and its original version is not an advanced model, from the perspective of the model it has been equipped with, this is a relatively old technology, and some marginalized engine.
However, the ideal should be to make improvements in conjunction with Xinchen Power, using the Miller cycle method, and the thermal efficiency is 40%, so the fuel economy is still worth looking forward to. Maximizing the use of existing resources is a smart way to save money and time costs. And from the perspective of some parameters, this engine with a general foundation has improved quite well. But after all, it is a car that has sold for 500,000 yuan, and using such an engine always feels a bit cheap.
The motor responsible for driving is from the Great Wall Honeycomb Power, with a battery pack with a capacity of 44.5kWh, and a fuel tank of 65L, the comprehensive cruising range of the ideal L9 CLTC will reach 1200 km, while the pure electric cruising range under the same working conditions will be 200 km. For reference, the ideal ONE in the NEDC working conditions of pure electric mileage is 188 kilometers, in view of the current public opinion of the wind direction is CLTC than the NEDC endurance is more "water", then the actual pure electric endurance of L9 may be similar to the ideal ONE.
Compared with other hybrid forms such as DM-i, the problem of extender hybridization is that in the case of sufficient power and power loss, the gap in the fuel economy performance of the vehicle is too large, and it is even ridiculed by netizens as "a dragon with electricity, a worm without electricity". The ideal ONE official data is that the nedc comprehensive fuel consumption is 1.5L/100km, but the fuel consumption has soared to 8.8L/100km.
Even if the 1.5T four-cylinder range extender is more powerful, the body size and weight of the ideal L9 are also rising, so the burden of the range extender is heavier in the state of power loss, so the fuel consumption of the power loss is still not very optimistic.
summary
In fact, the ideal is a strange flower in the new energy vehicle companies, with a "partial" more serious ideal ONE, you can achieve such good results and such a high degree of attention, in the concept of playing there are indeed two brushes. From the current information to speculate, the ideal L9 will only continue this "partial family", or amplify.
However, the ideal for consumer demand and psychological grasp is still quite in place, buy the ideal of people, may not pay too much attention to its existence of the short board, or this part of the consumer has a more convenient charging conditions, rarely let it expose the short board. And everyone pays more attention to the space, practicality, sense of science and technology and other aspects are its long board, L9 will make these long boards longer, so the attraction to its potential consumer population is stronger.
Look at its price, 500,000, has been able to buy a lot of luxury brands, but 500,000 can buy the luxury model, there is no ideal L9, nor it has a sense of technology, nor its space is spacious, nor is it highly configured. So now the only suspense is everyone's recognition of the ideal brand, which will determine whether consumers are willing to spend 500,000 yuan to buy an ideal.
