A few days ago, we obtained spy photos of suspected ideal M8 from relevant channels. The overall shape of the new car is very similar to that of the Li MEGA, which plans to launch three pure electric models in 2024, and it is reported that the names of the three models will be M7, M8, and M9.
In terms of appearance, judging from the only spy photo, the styling of the Ideal M8 is very similar to the Ideal MEGA positioned as a pure electric MPV, the streamlined front and roof shapes are the same as the Ideal MEGA, and the through-type taillights at the rear are also familiar styles. The body length of the new car is more compact than that of the Ideal MEGA, and compared with the previously exposed M9 spy photos, there are slight differences between the B, C, and D pillars between the two, but the style of the wheels is very similar.

A&A comments: On April 22, the price of Li Auto was reduced by 30,000 yuan, and the price of L7, L8 and L9 was reduced by 18,000-20,000 yuan. At the beginning of its listing, Ideal MEGA aspired to become the No. 1 seller of all categories of models priced at more than 500,000 yuan, but the "advanced" design was complained by consumers, and the stock price of Li Auto was also affected. Li Auto plans to launch M7, M8 and M9 pure electric SUV models in 2024, and the currently exposed M8 and M9 cars have the shadow of MEGA, which is very different from the image of SUV in people's impressions, and the design ideas of Li Auto designers seem to be unable to change!
