"The best SUV within 10 million", who is stronger, Ideal L9 or Wenjie M9?
In last year, the CEO of Ideal Auto bluntly said that "Ideal L9 is the best SUV within 5 million yuan", and this year Huawei Yu Chengdong shouted ""Ask the world M9 is the best SUV within 10 million yuan".
Now the ideal L9 has sold 10,000 units per month, and the question M9 is on the market for 2 hours is also set to exceed 10,000 units, as two domestic luxury SUVs, the big coffee will also compare and analyze the ideal L9 (429,800-459,800 yuan) and the question M9 (469,800-569,800 yuan) who is stronger?
A design based on a sense of technology
Both cars are not too exaggerated in terms of appearance, mainly highlighting the atmosphere and elegance. Among them, the design of the ideal L9 is basically the same as that of L7 and L8, with a split headlight design, and the through-type light strip is also recognizable.
The M9 is detached from the design style of the M5 and M7. The headlight cluster adopts Huawei xPixel smart car lights, which is very playable. The difference between the all-electric version and the extended-range version is mainly reflected in the front surround ventilation holes.
On the side part, the M9 adopts a two-tone body design, which is also ridiculed by netizens as a "domestic Maybach". The side of the Ideal L9 is more concise. Compared with the ideal L9, the M9 also adds a roof rack, which is better than the ideal L9.
At the rear, both cars adopt a through-type design, but the taillights of the M9 are larger, and the taillights can also edit text and patterns, and the playability is as good as the headlights. The Ideal L9 taillights are a contour-width design, with brake lights, width indicators and turn signals all incorporated.
INSIDE, BOTH CARS ARE LUXURIOUS ENOUGH IN TERMS OF MATERIALS, WITH PLENTY OF LEATHER COVERING IN THE CENTER CONSOLE AND NAPPA LEATHER WRAPPING IN THE SEATS. In addition to the sense of luxury, the two cars also create a good sense of technology, and the source of the sense of technology is the "big color TV".
Among them, the M9 adopts the current very popular triple screen layout, and integrates the AR HUD function, the system also adopts the latest HarmonyOS 4.0 intelligent cockpit, with six-tone sound source positioning, multi-person multi-screen multi-tone concurrent control, in-cabin eye position tracking and eye status recognition, multi-screen multi-channel two-way flow, multi-screen cross-device projection and other functions.
The ideal L9 central control screen and co-driver entertainment screen are both 15.7-inch OLED screens, which support six-zone voice wake-up recognition, gesture control, voiceprint recognition, multi-screen flying finger operation and other functions. The LCD instrument panel is placed on the steering wheel, and the visual effect is not as good as the three-screen design of the M9. Judging from the previous performance of the Hongmeng cockpit, the M9 will have a slight advantage in terms of interactive experience and entertainment functions.
There is not much difference between the three electric parts
In terms of power, the M9 provides two power forms: pure electric and extended range, and all of them are dual-motor four-wheel drive models. The Ideal L9 uses a range-extender powertrain.
Compared with the extended range version, the M9 uses the H15RT 1.5T engine, which is matched with dual motors, and the 000 acceleration time is 4.9 seconds. The ideal L9 also uses a 1.5T four-cylinder engine as a range extender, with a total power of 330kw and an acceleration of 100 kilometers in only 5.3 seconds, which is not much different from the M9.
In terms of range, the M9 has two battery capacities, 42 kWh and 52 kWh, and the all-electric range is 225 km and 275 km. The Li L9 is equipped with a 44.5 kWh battery pack and has an all-electric range of 215 km. The comprehensive range of both cars is more than 1300km, and the range performance is relatively good.
As for the chassis, the M9 is equipped with an air spring control system, CDC electronically controlled shock absorbers, and all-aluminum alloy double wishbones and multi-link independent suspension. In addition, HUAWEI ADS intelligent road surface awareness, iVSE intelligent vehicle status awareness, the new HUAWEI DATS dynamic adaptive torque system, and HUAWEI xMotion intelligent body cooperative control system can be used to optimize the dial in real time by relying on algorithms.
The Ideal L9 chassis adopts a front double wishbone rear five-link structure, and the whole series is also equipped with CDC electromagnetic shock absorption and air suspension as standard. After an over-the-air (OTA) upgrade to the suspension in August this year, the Air version is also equipped with a magic carpet air suspension with 18 adjustable modes, and the chassis comfort is also a big selling point of the Ideal L9.
It is also a top-of-the-line driving aid
As flagship models, the other major track that the two cars are chasing is the driver assistance system, and these two cars have also achieved the top level in terms of software and hardware. In terms of hardware, both cars are equipped with lidar, 12 ultrasonic radars, and 11 cameras, the difference is that the M9 has 7 millimeter-wave radars, and the ideal L7 has only one.
The M9 is equipped with the HUAWEI ADS2.0 intelligent driving system, which refreshes the scene library model every 5 days and conducts more than 12 million kilometers of simulation tests every day. Next year, the NCA will be fully opened to urban roads except for high-speed and Chengdu-fast roads.
The ideal L9 is equipped with AD Max assisted driving system, and the intelligent driving chip adopts 7nm-level dual NVIDIA Orin-X, providing a total computing power of 508TOPS, which has covered all highways and urban ring roads in the country, as well as urban roads in 110 cities, and both cars have reached the level of "quasi-automatic driving".
However, if you want to assist driving on urban roads, you need to choose Huawei ADS high-end package, and the optional cost is 26,000 yuan. And the ideal is free, which is more conscientious L9.
The comfort configuration is full
There are many reasons to buy the Ideal L9, but the core is its comfort performance, which makes it a benchmark model for family SUVs in its class. If the M9 wants to challenge the ideal L9, it is bound to work comfort.
First of all, in terms of size, the length, width and height of the M9 are 5230/1999/1800mm, and the wheelbase is 3110m, and the length, width and height of the ideal L9 are 5218/1998/1800mm, and the wheelbase is 3105mm. Both cars have a "2+2+2" six-seater layout, with a slight difference in size.
In terms of rear space, the maximum legroom in the second row of the M9 reaches 1060mm, the ideal L9 is 1071mm, and the ideal L9 has the advantage of the maximum space in the second row.
The maximum legroom in the third row of the M9 reaches 950mm, and the ideal L9 is 805mm.
In terms of comfort equipment, both cars have achieved top-of-the-line performance, with heated and ventilated/massage front seats, heated / ventilated/massage second row seats, and heated third row seats.
In terms of details, Ideal offers a very practical small table with the rear seats that can be reclined electrically. Compared with the ideal L9, the M9 has more queen co-pilot, and the second row also uses zero-gravity seats, which have their own advantages in terms of configuration.
The rear entertainment scheme of the two cars is also different, and the Ideal L9 is equipped with a 15.7-inch screen in the ceiling, which supports gesture and voice control. The M9 is equipped with a 32-inch projection screen, which adopts laser projection. In the strong light environment during the day, the screen clarity of the ideal L9 will be better, and in the low light environment at night, the screen of the M9 is more shocking.
The big coffee summarizes
In overall comparison, it is not difficult to find that the M9, as a challenger, is built with the ideal L9 as a benchmark in all aspects, so it will be comparable to or slightly ahead of the ideal L9 in terms of three electrics, comfort, chassis materials, driving assistance, etc.
But the worldM9 is more expensive than the ideal L9 in terms of price40,000 yuan,If you want to choose Huawei ADS,The price difference is as high as 60,000 yuan,Plus the ideal L9 has been more than 10,000 preferential margins,Big coffee thinks that the ideal L9 is much more cost-effective。
