The cheapest ideal ever, or is it a bit expensive?

After misjudging the rhythm of the pure electric market, the focus of Ideal sales has returned to the L series, as early as more than a year ago, Ideal announced the existence of the L6, and now this car finally completes the ideal range extension product line.

As the first ideal car within 300,000 yuan, the price of the ideal L6 is 70,000 yuan lower than that of the L7.

The cheapest, but the best value?

Let's start with the electric part, the three previous L series cars are all 1.5T four-cylinder range extender + 330kW front and rear dual motors, and the battery specifications of the high-end models are also exactly the same.

But the L6 has changed, starting with the rear motor having 30kW less maximum power and a reduction in maximum torque. At the same time, the battery capacity was reduced to 36.8 degrees, and the material was changed from ternary lithium to lithium iron phosphate.

In 2020, Li Xiang himself once expressed his opinion: "The unstable voltage measurement of lithium iron phosphate and the serious drop in battery power in winter are a disaster for range extenders". Now it seems that this boomerang has hit the ideal L6.

The ideal engineer did not avoid this problem, and gave a reasonable explanation at the press conference: unlike many years ago, the latest generation of lithium iron phosphate batteries has been greatly improved in key indicators such as energy density and discharge capacity, which can fully ensure the performance in the low temperature environment in winter.

In addition, in order to optimize the range performance, the Ideal L6 also adopts a thermal management system based on heat pumps, which is exclusive to the Ideal L family, and also allows the Ideal L6 to achieve an all-electric range of 212km.

In terms of charging power, the ideal L6's lithium iron phosphate battery can achieve the same level as L789, with a maximum charging power of 90kW, and the official statement is that the charging time of 20%~80% is 20 minutes.

In addition to the three-electric performance, the chassis configuration of the Ideal L6 has also been downgraded, and the optional air springs are no longer supported in the whole series, but the CDC shock absorbers are still retained.

The ideal L6 also retains the most core four-wheel drive function, and at present, the whole four-wheel drive system is the bottom line of the configuration of the ideal L series, and if there is an L5 in the future, it is likely to be a rear-wheel drive model.

However, these cuts are not enough to offset the price difference of 70,000 yuan, and it is necessary to cut a few more knives on the "audio, color TV, and big sofa".

First of all, in terms of "color TV",Ideal L6 Cancel the rear entertainment screen,If you want to watch TV, you can only sit in the co-pilot。 In addition, the massage function on the rear "big sofa" has also been cut, but fortunately, there is ventilation and heating, and basic comfort can be guaranteed.

As for the queen's seat and the small table, don't think about it, and the electric suction door is also gone.

Even so, the Ideal L6 still performs well in terms of overall space, with a length of only 12.5 cm shorter than the L7 and a wheelbase shorter than 8.5 cm.

On the whole, the ideal L6, which is 70,000 yuan cheaper, does greatly reduce the price threshold and can attract many people who like ideal cars but have a limited budget.

Aiming for the M7?

However, today's market is extremely involuted, especially in the price range of 20~300,000, the fierceness of competition and product richness are stronger, and what are the advantages of the ideal L6 that enters this market for the first time?

We chose the Tesla Model Y, which has the highest sales in this price segment, and the M7, the top competitor to the Ideal L6.

In terms of product strength, the advantages of Tesla Model Y are actually not big, whether it is space, configuration, or cost performance, it is not as ideal and questionable.

With the same budget of 250,000 yuan, the ideal L6 and the M7 can be said to have won and lost each other.

In terms of power, although the motor power of the Ideal L6 is reduced compared to the L789, it is still significantly ahead of the M7, and it is also a four-wheel drive. In terms of chassis, the front suspension of the Ideal L6 adopts a better double wishbone suspension and has more CDC shock absorbers than the M7.

The advantages of the question world are mainly battery and battery life, and the leading intelligent driving function has not been delegated to the entry model.

However, there is a hidden advantage in the M7, some time ago, the entry model was reduced to 229,800 yuan, although the electric suction door is removed, HUD, crystal gear handle, headrest audio, but on the whole, it is still very capable of playing, and the ideal L6 does not have these configurations.

If the M7 opens a limited-time offer again, the advantage of the Ideal L6 will drop a lot.

In addition, in the 20~300,000 level market, the ideal L6 has many potential competitors, looking down at the Lynk & Co 08, the new M5, and the future Ledao L60 that can swap batteries...... All of them are a bit of a masterpiece.

Looking back at the 250,000 ideal L6, do you think this price is a bit expensive?
