Ideal for the second model, sure to come!
This is an SUV model, originally called the Ideal X01, which has been tested for a long time since last year.
In March this year, Ideal officially named the new car the Ideal L9.
The new car is positioned as the global smart flagship SUV, the body size is larger than the ideal ONE, and it is also aimed at home users.
Not surprisingly, it will be launched at the Beijing Auto Show in late April, and the price range is expected to be 450,000-500,000 yuan depending on the configuration.
As you can see from the price, the new car will distance itself from the ideal ONE.
Back to the product, the ideal L9 as a whole remains in line with the style of the current model, but many changes have been made in the details, and the visual experience will be better than the current model. In addition, the addition of some technological elements has also made the car full of attraction, and to some extent it has not lost Tesla.
At present, the ideal has not officially announced the appearance of the ideal L9, and we can only glimpse one or two from the spy photos and renderings of the test car.
As a flagship SUV, the Ideal L9 adopts a stable and atmospheric design style as a whole, with a rounded front, a closed design style above the front face, and an air intake below. The headlights are designed with a penetrating LED light source, and the fog lights are located below the sides of the headlights.
The side lines of the body are smooth and tough, a straight waist line extends from the front of the car to the rear, and the horizontal and vertical design ensures more interior space.
The hub features a five-frame double-stranded design for a sporty feel.
The tail shape is full and simple, and there is no complicated line design. The long through taillights are obviously different from the double-layer through type of the ideal ONE, which is more in line with the current mainstream design trends. In addition, the logo of L9 has been added to the tail to enhance recognition.
In terms of size, the car is 5200 mm long, 1998 mm wide, 1800 mm high, and has a wheelbase of 3100 mm, which is a relatively standard full-size SUV, which is larger than the ideal ONE, and can even break the wrist with the BMW X7 and Range Rover Extended Edition.
Overall, although the appearance of the new car is not much eye-catching, it is better than the space, and it may replace the ideal ONE and become the next generation of "Daddy God Car".
Saying... Although the exterior is hidden, the ideal has long disclosed the official interior drawing of the ideal L9 to satisfy everyone's curiosity.
The interior of the new car is mainly white as a whole, the atmosphere is full, and the wide and thick seats enhance comfort.
The interior is spacious, and passengers in the second row can also enjoy the comfort of leg rests, small tables, heating, ventilation and other functions.
In addition, a refrigerator is set up to heat/cool. (If I remember correctly, 45 °C is the best temperature for warm milk, strengthening the "Daddy Car"?) ）
The steering wheel structure is rich, and the design of the pocket gear is also very distinctive.
It is this design that looks a little strange at first glance, probably because there is no logo in the middle. At present, I don't know the ideal design idea, is it built-in LED screen, the car lights up as soon as it hits?
Compared with the steering wheel, the biggest highlight of the new car is the elimination of the traditional instrument panel, replaced by a very large HUD head-up display, which can display various information of the driving computer. Oh, I just don't know if I can see it in the sunlight.
There is a problem that the general HUD viewing angle is very narrow, but the ideal L9 figure can also see the display content from the middle position, making people have to wonder whether this is not an ordinary windshield head-up display (W-HUD), is it a holographic projection, or related to AR?
Of course, it is not excluded that it is an ideal rendering for aesthetic purposes. However, the cancellation of the dashboard is still a relatively bright design, and there is currently no model to do it except Tesla. Although the HUD head-up display does not have the ideal ONE screen that spans the entire instrument panel, it is full of technology.
In addition, the ideal L9 is also equipped with three 15.7-inch car-level OLED screens, namely the central control screen, the co-pilot entertainment screen and the rear cabin entertainment screen, which have 3K HD resolution, and the visual effect should be very stunning.
Thanks to these three large ultra-high-definition screens, plus the HUD head-up display and the safe driving interactive screen above the steering wheel, the ideal L9 can achieve five-screen interaction.
Ideal Car official also revealed that the ideal L9 has 6 microphone 3DToF sensors, with "three-dimensional space interaction" function. Allows the whole family to interact in the car in the most natural way for humans to enjoy the intelligent experience with ease. Three-dimensional space interaction, is it to do actions in the air?
As for the computing power, the ideal revealed that the new car is equipped with two Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chips, with 24GB of memory and 256GB of high-speed storage computing platform, the performance in terms of computing power should be good. At the same time, it also supports dual 5G operator switching.
In short, the ideal L9 interior design is more technological and luxurious than the ideal ONE!
Like the Ideal ONE, the Ideal L9 still uses range extender power, but abandons the long-criticized three-cylinder engine and replaces it with a 1.5T four-cylinder range extender. At the same time, it is equipped with a more costly adaptive air suspension, which greatly improves the comfort and handling stability of the car.
In terms of power, according to the breaking news, the maximum power of the new car is 300 kW, the maximum torque is 600 Nm, and the acceleration time of 0-100km / h will be less than 6 seconds. What can be said, such a large body, can achieve this speed, its "hardcore" degree is appropriately beyond the ideal ONE.
In terms of endurance, the new car has a CLTC range of 1200 kilometers, of which the battery is 200 kilometers and the gasoline is 1000 kilometers.
The new car may also support the L4 stage driver assistance system. According to earlier revelations, the new car is equipped with the hardware needed to match L4 level intelligent driving, including the AP controller Horizon J3+J5 chip, the SP controller customized Orin-X chip, 12 8-megapixel cameras, 128-line lidar, 5 millimeter wave radar and 1 DMS (driver status detection system).
Judging from the configuration information currently exposed, the new car is very capable of playing, which makes people expect the new car to create the sales myth of the ideal ONE.
At present, the ideal L9 has been improved in terms of model and configuration, and the ideal ONE's controversial three-cylinder engine has also been replaced by a four-cylinder engine on the new car.
It looks good, but as for whether it can sell well, I dare not judge at present.
The first is positioning, high-end models are destined to shrink the consumer group, after all, 40, 500,000 a car, not everyone can afford to buy.
Secondly, in terms of products, the same main comfort, the ideal ONE space is enough, and the new car is still not attractive enough no matter how tossed.
Finally, for the new forces, the important thing is intelligence, but the ideal is weaker than Xiaopeng and Weilai.
Here do not talk about the virtual, let's say that this new car, some netizens after seeing the three large screens raised questions: the official said that the screens can be interconnected, that when the co-pilot watches the video, the rear screen can be controlled alone. If controlled individually, the audio effect of the front co-pilot watching the movie will not be chaotic.
In addition, other aspects of the new car have also made many netizens question, especially the interior.
There are also complaints about the high price, and even question why the ideal began to engage in selection.
Even so, there are still many riders who recognize the ideal L9, saying that the car will definitely sell well, especially in the early stage!
There are also people who highly praise the car is the best SUV to date.
In general, netizens are polarized about the design of the ideal L9, some people feel that the interior effect is poor, and some people feel that the sense of technology is unparalleled. However, for the price, everyone is a united front, not to simply think that it is expensive, but under the high price, how to distinguish between the ideal and the ideal ONE, so that users recognize.
But overall, as a high-positioning model that is routinely upgraded under the brand's "inner roll", the ideal L9 will not have a big impact on the old car.
