The real car was exposed for the first time, and the ideal L6 may take the "civilian route"

Ideal is on the cusp of the current stage, MEGA The sales of this new car in the first two weeks have actually exceeded 1,000 units, which is already unique for a 500,000-level pure electric MPV, but for the ideal, this achievement must be a gap with the previous expectations, after all, at the beginning of this year, the ideal shouted the slogan of 800,000 sales, and the current sales of MEGA obviously do not help much.

Li Xiang himself also issued an internal letter, admitting that the misjudgment of the strategic rhythm of pure electric vehicles led to the unfavorable development of MEGA, and clearly lowered the delivery forecast for the first quarter, and it was revealed that the ideal even has a certain internal adjustment to the target of 800,000 this year (the target is 56-640,000 units after the reduction).

Judging from the current situation, relying solely on the new L7/L8/L9, it is almost impossible to complete 800,000 this year, so it is correct to adjust the annual sales target, but this does not mean that the ideal will be rotten this year, because it still has a "killer" new car that can support sales is on the way, that is, the ideal L6.

Recently, a set of real pictures of the ideal L6 appeared on social media, although this car has been registered with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology before, but this time with the exposure of the real pictures, we have also obtained more information about the new car.

There is no doubt in the appearance that the ideal L6 is a miniature version of the ideal L7, whether it is the family-style design of the front face or parts such as panoramic sunroofs and hidden door handles, it can be said that it is the equal scale of L7. But from the actual picture, we can still see some different places, such as the front face of the through-type light strip has been obviously fine-tuned, making it more slender, which should be to adapt to the size of the L6 model, directly applying the L7 light strip may be discordant.

In addition, the LiDAR on the top of the ideal L6 is also different from the L7, the L7 looks significantly more "straight", while the L6 is almost flat on the roof, more like the roof extends.

Compared with the ideal L7, the ideal L6 is 125mm less in length, 35mm less in width, 15mm shorter in height, and only about 2.9 meters in wheelbase, while the wheelbase of the ideal L7 is more than 3 meters. Although the L6 is smaller than the L7, it is still positioned as a medium and large SUV, and it still has obvious advantages over cars such as the BMW X3 in the same class, so you don't have to worry too much about its interior space.

The interior is the ideal family design that everyone is more familiar with, and the two large central control screens live in it, and there is basically no change. In terms of power, the 1.5T four-cylinder engine is still used as a range extender, and the pure electric range is more than 200km, but it is worth noting that the ideal L6 may give up some things because of the price.

At this stage, the price difference between the ideal L7 and the ideal L8 is about twenty or thirty thousand, so some people predict that the price of the ideal L6 will not be too low, and the starting price may be 281,800, but judging from the news coming out now, the ideal L6 carries the burden of volume, and the overall price may be lowered by another grade. Especially considering the starting price of its biggest competitor, the M7 (249,800), the Ideal L6 cannot be priced too high as a latecomer.

If the starting price of the ideal L6 is less than 250,000, then many of the things that everyone has previously come standard with in the ideal L series may be castrated, such as dual motors. The new ideal L6 may continue to use dual motors in the middle and high configurations, but the entry-level model is likely to use a single motor to reduce costs, and in the single-motor mode, the battery capacity requirements are not so high, which can reduce a lot of costs.

In addition, Ideal has confirmed that it will introduce Sunwoda in battery suppliers, although the latter's strength is acceptable, but the cost is certainly lower than CATL, so the new Ideal L6 may also use different battery suppliers as the difference between low and high configuration, thereby lowering the entry threshold.

Liu Jie, vice president of business of Li Auto, revealed that the ideal L6 will be officially launched in the second quarter of this year, and I believe that the price of the ideal L6 will definitely give consumers a big surprise.
