On March 23, Ideal Auto announced the relevant information of ideal L9 for the third time, and this time introduced the ideal L9 will be equipped with a fully self-developed flagship extended range electric system, a fully self-developed flagship chassis control system, and a fully self-developed central domain controller. At the same time, it said that the relevant information will be released again next Wednesday (March 30).
Up to now, the Ideal L9 has announced its appearance, interior, selling price and fully developed extended range electric system / chassis control system / central domain controller.
Specifically:
(1) Fully self-developed flagship extended range electric system
The fully developed high-efficiency extended range electric system is equipped with a 44.5kWh battery pack, and the ideal L9 can achieve 1315km endurance (CLTC working conditions), of which the battery life is 215km. The thermal efficiency of the self-developed and self-produced range extender reaches 40.5%, and the energy consumption of the fuel mode heat engine is as low as 5.9L/100km (CLTC condition). The Ideal L9 uses an intelligent all-wheel drive system with a maximum power of 130kW for the front drive motor and 200kW for the rear drive motor. The total power reaches 330 kW, the torque reaches 620 N·m, and the acceleration time from 0 to 100 km/h is only 5.3 s.
(2) Fully self-developed flagship chassis control system
The ideal L9 front suspension features a double wishbone construction and a rear suspension with a five-link construction for flagship driving and riding comfort. Through the fully self-developed flagship chassis control system, with the standard CDC continuously adjustable damping damping damper, the ideal L9 can automatically adjust the damping according to the millisecond level of road vibration feedback, and improve the comfort of various road conditions in an all-round way. Air springs automatically lower the body at high speeds to save energy consumption and provide easier access to and from the vehicle and loading and unloading when parking.
The ideal L9's front "five-in-one" powertrain includes drive motors, generators, dual motor controllers and reducers, while the rear "three-in-one" powertrain includes rear-drive motors, motor controllers and reducers. Higher integration, resulting in better volumetric efficiency, further improves the utilization of the interior space of the ideal L9.
(3) A central domain controller that is fully self-developed
The fully self-developed central domain controller will use NXP's latest S32G vehicle specification-level chip, and the ideal car will complete the research and development of all hardware, systems and software, and realize full self-research on the functions of the extended range electric system, air conditioning system, chassis system and seat control system, etc., which better ensures the scope and timeliness of the ideal L9 future OTA.
The ideal L9 will be officially released on April 16, 2022, with a price range of 450,000-500,000 yuan depending on the configuration.
