With the words of Li Bin, CEO of Weilai: "There is a late-mover advantage"! everyone's attention to Weilai's second brand "Ledao" has also continued to heat up.
Recently, Auto Culture learned about the real pictures of the first model of the Ledao brand: Ledao L60, and learned more about this car. Next, let's follow the car culture to take a look!
In terms of battery, the Ledao L60 is expected to be equipped with an entry-level 60-degree battery and an advanced 90-degree battery. The former is BYD's lithium iron phosphate battery, while the latter will use the more expensive CATL ternary lithium battery. The most noteworthy thing is that it may be available in 900V for all models!
Strictly speaking, 550V to 930V is usually included in the definition range of "800V", so 900V needs to use silicon carbide materials with a withstand voltage of 1200V. And it is said that the performance in terms of energy consumption, especially compared with Tesla Model Y, energy consumption can come to less than 13, which is more economical than Tesla.
At the same time, the new car will still retain the "core moat advantage" of the NIO brand, which is the battery swap technology. In this way, there are both 900V and battery swap technology, which can be said to add "double insurance" to the energy supplement of Ledao L60, which is estimated to make many wait-and-see consumers who are discouraged by electric vehicles because of energy supplement problems.
In terms of driving experience, the chassis suspension of this car is the front MacPherson + rear multi-link, and the overall tuning will be more comfortable, which is very suitable for home use, which is very in line with the brand positioning of "Ledao".
On the outside, the car is clearly a coupe-like design and is expected to have a low drag coefficient. The workmanship of the interior is expected to be little different from the Weilai brand, and it is equipped with a large horizontal screen, and the 8295 chip should run at a good speed and feel good.
In terms of price, it is expected that the price of Ledao L60 will start at 229,900 yuan, and it will support battery rental services, and the price after BAAS is expected to be about 170,000 yuan.
In March this year, Li Bin announced that NIO's second brand was named "Ledao", which was positioned as a family car, and the previous "Alps" was the internal code name of the second brand. It is reported that Ledao will be released in the second quarter of this year, the first new car will be launched in the third quarter, and delivered in the fourth quarter.
There is a text that says:
A long time ago, Li Bin, CEO of NIO, said with certainty that the price of Ledao L60 will be cheaper than Tesla Model Y, so it is obvious that Ledao's first car is for Model Y. And if as speculated, the starting price of this car is about 220,000 yuan, and the whole 900V even supports battery leasing, and the sales volume may really exceed "Edamame Y"!
