On the eve of National Day, Ideal suddenly released two new cars, L7 and L8. Especially the L7, which starts at 339,800 yuan, has attracted particular attention. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as the most popular car in recent times. Let’s review how Ideal has stood at the top of the topic during this period?
Ideal's success in replacing Tesla will start with the release of Ideal L9. In July this year, Ideal L9 was officially launched at a price of 459,800 yuan, representing that this new power brand officially entered the high-end market of more than 400,000 yuan. This is actually not rare at a time when most new forces are beginning to raise the product price limit.
But the ideal subsequent operations began to magic. After L9 was officially launched, the ideal L8, which replaced ideal ONE, began to surface. First of all, this is a big impact on ideal ONE users. After all, the end of the series basically represents a decrease in the second-hand residual value rate. Of course, not only old users, but also used car dealers have been harvested.
. After the official release of Ideal L8, users who have already booked L9 began to feel a little uncomfortable. For the Ideal L8, it can almost be considered that the longitudinal size is more than ten centimeters shorter. There has not been much change from the power system configuration to the technological level in the cockpit, but the price difference has reached 100,000.
are all leeks? No, there is also an
. If you think buying Ideal L8 is just a bargain, then you are very wrong, because after L8, there is an Ideal L7. Among the many new cars released by Ideal this year, L7 can still be regarded as the "kind" one.
For Ideal L7, in a sense, you can understand it as the 5-seat version of L8. The prices of the two configurations are 339,800 and 379,800 yuan respectively, which can be lower than the threshold of Ideal L8. Of course, price is one thing, but it is another whether the product is capable of being able to do it. First of all, from the styling perspective, there are not many differences between L7 and L8 and L9, etc., which are simpler and rougher than Volkswagen's nesting dolls. The recognition and leading design that are only available on ideal high-end models can be found in corresponding expressions. The same is true for the cockpit part of
. Both the dual large-size screens in the front row and the large color TV in the rear row are equipped. The electric footrests worth watching on the L9 also appear on this large 5-seater SUV. The rest of the cabin interiors such as flat seats and large-size luggage compartment space can also provide certain attribute bonuses for this SUV to adapt to diversified needs. If there is no strong demand for the third row, the L7 is still quite "scent".
power copy? Ideal is a bit lazy in this wave of
Finally, the key point that allows the author to "blow" a wave of Ideal L7 is that Ideal is really a bit "lazy" this time, so lazy that they directly let the three cars share the same powertrain, or even the same assisted driving solution.
power, Ideal L7 is equipped with the same 1.5T range extender + 330kW motor drive solution of L9 and L8. The battery part is also equipped with the Ideal L8's 42.8kWh battery pack, and the CLTC pure electric battery life can reach 210km. In addition, the adjustable suspension of the chassis part and the front double wishbone rear five-link solution are also translated, which undoubtedly adds a lot of highlights to the L7. The same is true for the assisted driving part of
. The AD Max assisted driving system equipped with Ideal L7 is also supported by lidar , which can also achieve L2 level performance. Of course, the dual Nvidia Orin-X chips in hardware are not absent. The computing power of 508 TOPS is quite powerful, which also enhances the competitive strength of L7.
Product car scent:
In fact, in my opinion, Ideal has no choice but to apply the same configuration or even the same design on the three cars focusing on different markets. It can be seen as a manifestation of limited R&D capabilities and technical reserves, otherwise it can completely add more differentiated attributes to the three products to serve different consumer groups. However, this is a good thing for consumers. After all, it is a good thing to buy with cost-effective models.
