The L60, the first model of NIO's second brand, Ledao Automobile, will be launched on May 15, aiming to challenge Tesla's Model Y. NIO's deliveries in April increased significantly, and Ledao Auto will unveil and launch the Ledao L60 at the same time. Ledao L60 is positioned as a pure electric mid-size SUV, focusing on the 250,000 yuan market and supporting the battery swap function. Recently, photos of the real car of Ledao L60 were exposed.
From the analysis of the actual car map, the Ledao L60 adopts a concave closed front face design, which is quite similar to the second-generation design language of NIO. However, the flat double-layer design of the headlight clusters on both sides, combined with the low-lying nose, makes the L60 unique in design. At the same time, the visual effect is further strengthened by the design of the "C" shaped air duct. The two high-pixel cameras on the roof indicate that the Ledao L60 will be equipped with a pure visual intelligent driving solution, which is a bold innovation in the current field of intelligent driving. In addition, there is a "C" shaped air duct under the front face, and the large blackened trapezoidal lower grille gives the front face a more dynamic appearance. At the same time, the high-pixel "horn-type" cameras on both sides of the roof hint that the Ledao L60 will adopt a pure visual intelligent driving scheme.
The side of the body presents a sleek coupe SUV design, which is similar to that of the NIO EC6. In addition, the car will be equipped with frameless doors, concealed door handles, privacy glass and other features, while two-tone starlight wheels and orange bodywork will be the main colors of the new car. According to Li Bin, the body size of Ledao L60 will exceed Tesla Model Y, with a length, width and height of 4750/1921/1624mm and a wheelbase of 2890mm as an example, the body size of Ledao L60 is expected to exceed Model Y, so as to have advantages in space utilization. At present, the length, width and height of the Model Y are 4750/1921/1624mm, and the wheelbase is 2890mm.
The rear styling is distinctly a fastback coupe SUV style. However, the blacked-out rear surrounds of the L60 protrude upwards on both sides, forming a diffuser style for a more sporty look.
Although the interior details of the Ledao L60 have not yet been revealed, through the promotional video and netizens revealed, we can foresee its interior configuration. The car will be offered with a white interior with body-coloured seat belts and flat seats when reclined. In addition, the Ledao L60 will also use a horizontal center display similar to the NIO ET9, with a built-in Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip, and a no dashboard design, but it will be equipped with a HUD head-up display. At the same time, the car is also equipped with electronic pocket gear, panoramic sunroof, wireless charging of dual mobile phones, rear entertainment screen and other configurations, which is expected to provide an excellent intelligent interconnection experience.
It was also reported that Ledao L60 will be equipped with 60kWh BYD lithium iron phosphate battery and 90kWh CATL ternary lithium battery, all based on a 900-volt high-voltage silicon carbide platform, with optional two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, and the energy consumption per 100 kilometers is expected to be less than 13kWh. Support fast charging, slow charging and battery swapping. The starting price may be 229,900 yuan, and about 170,000 yuan after the BasS scheme is adopted. The configuration and pricing are subject to the official one. For the Ledao L60, how much do you think the pricing is appropriate?
