As the first pure electric model of Ideal, although the market performance of MEGA is not as bad as imagined, there are indeed many debates on the Internet about its exterior design. According to CNMO, Li Xiang, CEO of Li Auto, recently revealed that the appearance design of the ideal pure electric model is different from that of the MEGA, similar to the Model X travel version.

According to CNMO, a blogger recently talked about the appearance of the ideal pure electric model series when communicating with Li Xiang. The blogger asked, will the appearance of the ideal pure electric M series model still adhere to the style of the MEGA? After all, it has brought a huge impact before. Li Xiang said that it is recommended that everyone make an evaluation after reading the actual car.
According to Li Xiang, the appearance of the ideal pure electric M series models is basically equivalent to "making a Tesla Model Y travel version", and "if the C-pillar is cut off, the front part is basically the same as Model Y and Model X", which solves the problem of the latter's three-row space as a whole. In addition, the shape of the new car is relatively low, which is not the same style as the ideal MEGA, not an MPV shape.
According to the previous plan, Ideal will launch three pure electric SUVs in the future, or named M9, M8 and M7. Recently, a group of road test spy photos of the ideal M series pure electric SUV were exposed, judging from the size of the model, it is likely to be M9 or M8. The shape of the new car is different from that of a regular SUV, with very smooth lines and a family-oriented star ring LED light strip.
Interestingly, Li Xiang recently appeared at the NIO booth at the Beijing Auto Show to discuss the topic of high-end pure electric models with Li Bin. Li Xiang lamented that high-end pure electric vehicles are too difficult to sell, and it is difficult to push them without an energy supplement network.
