As a representative brand of range-extender power in China, Li Auto recently tried to launch its first pure electric model, MEGA, but it was actually declared a failure due to unexpected reasons. While the form of power wasn't the reason for MEGA's failure, the shadow was buried. More than a month later, on April 18, Li Auto's sixth model, the Ideal L6, was officially launched.
The new car will be available in two configurations, with official guide prices of 249,800 yuan and 279,800 yuan, respectively. As a new member of the Ideal L series, the Ideal L6 is positioned as a family luxury five-seater SUV, which complements the Ideal L7, which is positioned as the family flagship large five-seater SUV, and further completes the ideal product matrix.
It is worth mentioning that the ideal L6 did not try to pure electric power again, but returned to the ideal best range extender power. At the new car press conference, Li Xiang, CEO of Li Auto, admitted that the use of the range extension system by the Ideal ONE was not favored by the capital market, but he said that "I want to build a car for myself and users, not for capital."
In Li Xiang's view, the extended-range model combines the advantages of fuel vehicles and pure electric vehicles, which can not only solve the pain point of short mileage of pure electric vehicles, but also reduce users' dependence on charging piles. Therefore, he said that he will continue to deepen the development route of extended-range power models, and the new car Ideal L6 has also returned to the extended-range power. It is reported that small-scale deliveries of the new car will begin next week, and large-scale deliveries will officially start in May.
In terms of appearance, the Ideal L6 continues the family-style design style, which is very similar to the Ideal L7 and does not have much freshness. Specifically, the front face of the new car adopts a closed shape, equipped with through-type LED daytime running lights, and the headlights are integrated in a black U-shaped decoration, which is integrated with the lower grille, which is recognizable.
From the side, the body profile of the Ideal L6 is the same as that of the Ideal L7, with a simple and atmospheric shape, equipped with hidden door handles and five-spoke two-tone low-drag wheels, which looks quite premium. The rear of the car is also equipped with continuous taillights, which are blackened around to echo the headlight clusters.
In terms of size, the ideal L6 is positioned as a medium and large SUV, with a length, width and height of 4925/1960/1735mm and a wheelbase of 2920mm.
In the interior part, the Ideal L6 almost replicates the design of the Ideal L7, with a large number of more regular rounded rectangular elements and a four-spoke steering wheel, which is quite luxurious. In terms of configuration, the new car provides a dual 15.7-inch 3K central control screen and a co-driver entertainment screen, a high-definition HUD head-up display and a safe driving interactive screen on the steering wheel, forming a four-screen linkage, supporting 5G network, AI ideal classmates, Mind GTP large model, and also has L2 level intelligent driving assistance, full of science and technology.
In terms of power, the ideal L6 is equipped with an extended-range hybrid system composed of a 1.5T engine + dual motors, of which the maximum engine power is 113kW, the comprehensive power of the system is 300kW, and the comprehensive torque of the system is 529Nm, with the function of electric four-wheel drive, the official 000 acceleration time is 5.4 seconds, equipped with a 36.8kWh battery pack, the WLTC pure electric range is 182km, the comprehensive range is 1160km, the fuel consumption is 6.9L/100km, and it supports 3.5kW external discharge.
Written at the end: after the launch of the ideal L6, there are currently 4 models in the ideal L series on sale, and the launch of the new car has lowered its price threshold by 250,000 levels, which is also the price range that many family users are more willing to accept, and the overall sales of the ideal car may bring a significant increase. , which brings more pressure to competitors such as the M5.
