Just yesterday, the ideal L7 was officially launched, with three versions of Air, Pro and Max to choose from, with a price range of 31.98-379,800 yuan. The exterior, interior and configuration of the new car mostly follow the family design of the ideal L8 and ideal L9, and all three cars appear in your rearview mirror at the same time, making it difficult to tell who is who. The difference is that the ideal L7 is the only five-seater car in the ideal sales series, and the target consumer group will be younger.
Today we got the ideal L7 Max version model priced at 379,800 yuan, compared with the Air and Pro version, the Max version in addition to increasing the rear screen, the more critical is to have higher computing power and more assisted driving sensors, for the current version of the assisted driving system has more adequate hardware redundancy, the future in the face of higher intelligent driving system can also be driven.
So, most of this money is actually spent in the future. It is reported that if all goes well, the ideal city NOA will be launched in the fourth quarter of this year, when the value of the lidar and high-computing power chips equipped with the Max version will be revealed.
In terms of power, the ideal L7 is equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder range extender, equipped with front and rear dual motors, the power of the front and rear motors is 130kW and 200kW respectively, the official acceleration time per 100 kilometers is 5.3s, and the fuel consumption of CLTC heat engine (per 100 kilometers) is 5.88L. It is also equipped with a 42.8kWh battery pack, a combined range of 1315km in CLTC conditions, and a pure electric range of 210km, except for the Air version, which is equipped with magic carpet air suspension as standard.
In the road running test, the ideal L7 feels slightly more flexible than L8 and L9, and the roll will converge when cornering, but it still generally adheres to the tuning style of the family car, and the chassis texture and steering feel are basically the same as those of L8 and L9
The ideal official set up steps road, side slope, cross axis and other subjects, and the ideal L7 showed good power and passability.
The ideal L7 exterior design continues the family design style, and the front of the car adopts star ring through-type daytime running lights, which is different from Xpeng's three-section light strip, and the ideal light strip is a complete line that is not disconnected.
The two sides are split headlight groups, which can well press the visual center of gravity on both sides, thereby improving the overall visual width.
The new model has a length, width and height of 5050x1995x1750mm and a wheelbase of 3005mm, which is narrower than the L8, and the width and wheelbase remain unchanged.
The side design differs from the rest of the family in some details, with a concave style under the doors, and the D-pillar is tilted at a greater angle than the ideal L8, making it visually more stylish.
The ideal L7 wheels are available in 4 styles, with 20-inch dual five-spoke wheels as standard, matched with 255/50 R20 tires; At the same time, there are two 21-inch styles to match the 265/45 R21 tyres.
The rear design is basically the same as the rest of the family, with LED star ring through-through taillights echoing the headlights, and the exhaust vents of the range extender hidden under the car.
The interior design is completely family-oriented, and the main driver adopts a HUD head-up display + design with a steering wheel interactive screen.
Control HUD height, power mode, suspension height, etc. on a small screen... After eliminating the traditional dashboard, this solution does take into account the needs of design, control and access to information, which is very clever.
The central control is highly integrated, almost all the physical buttons are canceled, replaced by a 15.7-inch central control screen and a 15.7-inch co-driver entertainment screen, the internal logic of the operating system is clear, and it is very smooth to use, without any stuttering.
Because the test drive version is the Max version, it is also equipped with a 15.7-inch entertainment screen hanging from the roof, and the rear seats can be controlled by touch or gesture.
There is actually nothing special about the interior design, and the biggest difference from the ideal L8 and ideal L9 is the space. Using the platform of a 6-seater car to create a five-seat SUV must be redundant in terms of space.
We got into the main driver's seat and kept the front seats to the lowest, with 1 punch and 3 fingers left in headroom. (Editor's height 183cm)
Enter the rear row with the front seat not moving, 1 fist and 4 fingers left in headroom, and 3 punches left in legroom. The second row of seats is electrically adjustable, with a maximum recline angle of 40 degrees and a cushion length of 520 mm, which can support the legs well. (Editor's height 183cm)
The boss seat (the right seat in the second row) is also equipped with an electric footrest, which can use the co-pilot space and allow the boss seat passengers to lay their legs flat.
The trunk opening is large and supports electric proportional recline.
Editor's Summary:
The ideal L7 has almost no changes in the exterior and interior, its dynamic performance and passability are improved compared to other models in the family, as a 5-seat model built with a 6-seat platform, the space is very spacious, and there are many details designed to take care of the family, such as the air conditioning outlet does not use hidden or through-type design, still retains the traditional style, more convenient for occupant control; There is also the rear seat backrest adjustment and the armrest groove design on both sides, all of which pay great attention to the passenger's riding experience, and the bottom is still a daddy car.
Regarding the "matryoshka doll", I don't think you have to care too much, the ideal L9 and ideal L8 two cars are selling well, their product power is verified by the market, the ideal L7 has two fewer seats, the price is lower, which is a good thing for consumers who want to buy a five-seat SUV.
Finally, on the extended range scheme itself want to talk to you, Xiaobian himself used to despise this technical route, the engine can not drive the vehicle directly in the high-efficiency range, from a technical point of view is indeed backward, but from the perspective of car companies and users, the extended range scheme structure is simple, can save a lot of research and development costs and manufacturing costs, the saved part of the money for upgrading the user's cockpit experience, is not necessarily a bad thing. If there are conditions to install home charging piles, the range extension scheme can almost meet the needs of most users, and some ideal owners say that they only add more than half a tank of oil a year. But if you often go far and the battery pack is not enough to support most of your travel scenarios, it is recommended to consider hybrid vehicles with engine direct drive, fuel consumption will be lower, and demand determines the choice.
