Since the opening of the two-child policy, a new energy MPV that can be used for the whole family to travel comfortably and has many applicable scenarios has become the first choice for dads, and at the same time, the MPV market has become increasingly popular. Li Auto, which is thriving in the new energy SUV market, has also focused on the MPV market and launched its first pure electric MPV model, Li MEGA. What are the advantages of this model that has become popular all over the Internet before it is listed? Is it suitable for family use? You might as well experience it together!
Appearance: The "water drop" shape is highly recognizable
In terms of appearance, the Ideal MEGA adopts a styling design that imitates "water droplets" to create a unique recognition, although consumers have mixed attitudes towards it, but it is precisely because of this "unique" styling design that the Ideal MEGA has reduced the drag coefficient to 0.215Cd, becoming the model with the lowest drag coefficient in the global mass-produced MPV market.
At the front of the car, the Ideal MEGA has a through-light strip embedded under the front windshield, which looks more recognizable. At the same time, the front of the car also adopts a rounded and full design, which looks more overall. On the side of the body, the ideal MEGA starts from the back of the B-pillar to create a similar effect of a slip-back, and the side of the car does not use too many lines to outline, and the minimalist design also makes the vehicle appear more clean and neat.
At the rear of the vehicle, the Ideal MEGA is equipped with through-type taillights, and adopts a design that echoes the end and end to create a high degree of recognition. Although the tail looks a little abrupt at first glance, it still does not affect its return rate on the road.
In terms of details, the 2024 Ideal MEGA is equipped with LED light source and has adaptive high and low beams, which can effectively increase the safety of night driving. However, the fly in the ointment is that the front door of the review car is not equipped with an electric suction door function, which makes the sense of luxury decrease. In terms of wheels, the Ideal MEGA is equipped with 18-inch low-drag wheels and Michelin's 18-inch silent tires, focusing on quiet and comfortable.
Interior: Family-style design with abundant materials
In terms of interior, the Ideal MEGA continues the ideal family design, and a large number of leather materials are used to wrap the interior of the car to further enhance the sense of luxury. At the same time, the evaluation car also reserves an air conditioning outlet that can manually adjust the direction of the air outlet, which is convenient for the driver and passengers to adjust at any time, which is not common in the current pure electric MPV market.
The evaluation car is also equipped with two 15.7-inch multimedia screens in the front row, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 high-performance version of the chip is built-in, and is equipped with an ideal Mind GPT version of the system, which can not only make the car machine operation more silky, but also strengthen the user experience, bring more natural human-computer interaction, and the co-pilot entertainment screen has a variety of third-party film and television software built-in, and the details are worthy of praise. It is worth mentioning that the ideal MEGA is also equipped with a 17-inch ceiling screen in the second row, which is larger in size than the rear screen carried on the previous ideal L9, and has functions such as 3K resolution and gesture control.
In terms of comfort configuration, the performance of the review car is quite good. The overall area of the segmented non-opening sunroof is large, the lighting effect in the car is good, and the ideal MEGA also retains the design of the sunshade, which completely eliminates the problem that the panoramic sunroof is not heat-insulated. In addition, the seats of the review car are all made of leather, the main driver's seat supports 12-way electric adjustment, and the seat cushion will automatically adjust the softness and hardness according to different driving modes, bringing a more comfortable driving experience. The passenger seat supports 14-way electric adjustment and is equipped with an electric leg rest, allowing the passenger to find a more suitable sitting position.
It is worth mentioning that all the seats of the Ideal MEGA support seat heating, and the front and second row seats also have seat ventilation function, which can bring a more comfortable riding experience. At the same time, the second-row car refrigerator supports cooling and heating, and for long-distance travel, the use of the car refrigerator will be instantly amplified.
Power: 5.5s to break 100 family cars can also evolve
In terms of power, the Ideal MEGA adopts a front and rear dual motor, with a total motor power of 400kW and a total torque of 542Nm. In addition, the evaluation car is equipped with a 5C Kirin battery from CATL, with a CLTC pure electric range of 710km, which not only has competitive power parameters, but also has an ultra-long range to meet the needs of family travel.
Ideal MEGA provides 5 driving modes to choose from, in the standard mode, the performance of the evaluation car is decent, the driving experience is more inclined to fuel models, and the effect of kinetic energy recovery is not strong. Even if you're new to this car, it's easy to drive.
In sports mode, the acceleration of the evaluation car is more violent, that is, the response when you step on it, and the 5.5s breaking time of 100 will make people feel the "roar" from MEGA at all times, as a pure electric model, its acceleration is also more linear, without any setbacks. The use of deceleration glass makes the Ideal MEGA not feel fast even at high speeds, but rather a feeling that it wants to continue accelerating.
In terms of braking system, of course, you must be able to brake when running fast, and in standard mode, the adjustment of the brake pedal of the evaluation car is not too sensitive, and even if you click deeply, the vehicle will not nod its head. However, when the driving mode is set to Sport, the braking response of the Ideal MEGA will be more positive, and the brake pedal will become more sensitive, and the braking effect will appear with a single tap, which makes people feel more confident.
The Magic Carpet Air Suspension MAX is equipped with the evaluation car, which automatically adjusts the body attitude and lowers the body when cruising at high speeds to reduce wind resistance. When passing through potholes, the vibration filtration effect of the vehicle is quite good, and there will not be too much vibration into the car, which greatly improves the ride quality in the car.
In addition, thanks to the silent tires and soundproof glass on all windows, the Ideal MEGA achieves an excellent level of quietness, even at speeds above 120 km/h, the test car can still block out most of the noise.
Space: Comfortable ride throughout the car
The Ideal MEGA is positioned as a large MPV, so the passenger space is also relatively spacious, and the experienced experience with a measured height of 1.85m can get a comfortable ride experience in the front, second and third rows. In addition, the backrest of the third-row seats can be adjusted, so that even when traveling with full occupancy, the occupants can find a suitable sitting position.
In terms of storage space, the front and rear cup holders are equipped with limiters, which can effectively fix the water cup or water bottle. The central armrest box has less internal space and can only be placed horizontally in a water bottle or cup. However, the storage space of the Ideal MEGA is very rich, with a total of 14 storage spaces to meet the needs of all passengers, and there are also water cup storage slots on the left and right door panels of the third row of the vehicle, which is also in place for the third row of passengers.
The trunk of the test car is relatively flat, and the third-row seats can be folded proportionally, and the volume can reach 1067L when folded, which can easily cope with various situations. In addition, the evaluation vehicle also has a loading mode, which can be lowered or raised by 30 mm through the button on the left side of the trunk when carrying items, improving the convenience of placing and retrieving items.
Safety: Rich configuration to protect travel safety
In terms of safety configuration, the evaluation car is equipped with a full range of safety functions, including a wealth of active and passive safety configurations, which can provide all-round safety protection for all vehicle personnel, in line with its high-end model identity.
Summary:
As a daddy's car, the ideal MEGA can not only meet the needs of families, but also meet the driver's pursuit of speed, and the range of 710km also makes long-distance travel without "range anxiety". However, although there is no direct benchmark model in China, the high price also makes the ideal MEGA face a lot of market challenges. Of course, if you have a sufficient budget, the Ideal MEGA is indeed a new energy MPV model worth buying.
