The ideal L9 compared to the Xiaopeng G9, are all powerful factions, who is more in line with the tastes of young people?

Epidemics, wars, and shortages of parts and chips have made the "depression" the main tone of the global automotive market. Although the cumulative retail sales of passenger cars in mainland China in 2021 reached 20.146 million units, an increase of 4.4% year-on-year, it was far lower than the 27 million units previously predicted by the China Automobile Association.

Hidden in the darkness, the decline of the global automobile market, but set off the excellent performance of the new energy market. In particular, China's new energy market, which accounts for 53% of the global market share, is a proper "big contributor".

The huge consumer group will also continue to stimulate the launch of new models. A few days ago, Ideal Auto officially released the relevant information of its new model L9. The new car, ideally the second mass-produced model, is scheduled to be officially launched on April 16, with a price range of 450,000 to 500,000 yuan.

This can't help but be very curious, the same for the medium and large SUV, the same positioning for the high-end market, the same for the product of new forces. When the Xiaopeng G9 meets the ideal L9, the war of the two "old nines", who will be better?

Exterior design

As a successor to the baton, the exterior design of the ideal L9 is more in line with the vision of the new generation. The new energy standard through-type light strip, closed front face and grille type lower surround, the front face of the layer and sports texture of the perfect display. In addition, unlike the ideal ONE multi-segment light strip combined into a penetration effect, the ideal L9 adopts a more integrated through-through design, and with the fog lights embedded in the grille, the overall sense of shape is stronger.

The ideal L9 side design is decent, and does not use a novel multi-segment polyline, but chooses a double waist line body + suspension roof design. Although it lacks the publicity of new forces, it retains the inherent temperament of medium and large SUVs. The rim is adjusted from a blackened design to a contrasting color match, and the color effect is stronger.

In terms of size, the length, width and height of the ideal L9 are 5200/1998/1800 mm, the wheelbase is 3100mm, and the data is considered to be "entering the room" in the field of large SUVs, which is very suitable for domestic users with large space needs.

The tail is relatively bland, still following the minimalist style of the ideal ONE, showing the harmony of the tail through simple through taillights and hidden tail gases.

After looking at the ideal L9 and then looking at the Xiaopeng G9, we will find many similarities. Whether it is a through-light strip that is closely integrated with the front face, an enclosed front face, or a grid-style under-the-wall, it is silly and unclear. The only distinguishing point, in addition to the huge LOGO, is the remaining split headlights with different shapes.

In terms of side, Xiaopeng G9 tends to use tough lines, and the three-dimensional waist line that runs through the front and back is an important embodiment. In addition, from the side of the Xiaopeng G9, you can still see a lot of the taste of the ideal L9, whirlwind contrast wheels, hidden door handles and suspended roof, the homogenization phenomenon is serious.

In terms of tail, Xiaopeng G9 also adopts through taillights and hidden exhaust design. But the difference is that the design sense and color contrast of the Xiaopeng G9 are more abundant, and it has a little more sports and fashion sense than the ideal L9.

For who copied the two models, the uncle was not interested. However, the appearance of the shirt also shows the market the problem of the new energy field - homogenization. More and more new energy models have begun to change to "net red face", without the personality and originality that young people love. Laziness in design will eventually make these car companies suffer bitter fruit.

dynamical system

The Ideal L9 will be equipped with a range extender powertrain consisting of a 1.5T four-cylinder range extender and dual motors at front and rear, with dual motors with a maximum power of 130 kW and 200 kW respectively, a total system power of 330 kW, a combined torque of 620 Nm, and an acceleration time of 0-100 km/h of 5.3 seconds. In terms of endurance performance, the new car will be equipped with a 44.5 kWh battery pack, clTC comprehensive working condition pure electric mileage of 215 kilometers, and comprehensive conditions of 1315 kilometers, which can greatly solve the user's endurance troubles.

Xiaopeng G9 for power data information is not much, known is that it will be equipped with XPower 3.0 power system, equipped with a capacity of 100 kWh battery pack, is the first domestic based on 800V high-voltage SiC platform production car, charging 5 minutes, can increase the cruising range of more than 200km. According to the 100 kWh battery pack, the pure electric endurance of xiaopeng G9 is at least about 600 kilometers, with fast charging equipment, easily solve the user's endurance dilemma.

Uncle Che summed up

As two masterpieces of domestic impact on the high-end medium and large SUV market, Xiaopeng G9 and Ideal L9 are considered to be the masters of independent brand technology. Whether it is the space layout, interior configuration or power output and endurance performance, both models are above the red line, and overall, they are very suitable for young users to buy. But while we lament the progress of our own brands, we must also find the hidden crisis - homogenization. The homogenization problem that originally prevailed in the fuel market has gradually spread due to the stability of the layout of the new energy market and the urgent need for manufacturers to cater to popular aesthetics. Therefore, as a car company, you must have your own style in order to make consumers leave a deeper impression.
