model recommendations
recommends to buy Ideal L8 2023 Pro, the reasons are as follows:
Max, compared to Pro, simple to put, the additional rear entertainment screen and the car processor has increased from 1 Snapdragon 8155 to 2 Snapdragon 8155, and the memory has doubled. In addition, AD Pro is upgraded to AD Max, and the hardware and functions of smart driving are improved, but other configurations such as powertrain, size, interior, auxiliary functions, etc. are almost exactly the same, so ordinary users choose Pro enough.
summary
From the above configuration interpretation, we can see that the entire series of Ideal L8 standard electric suction door, magic carpet air suspension, 540° panoramic image, 1.5T four-cylinder range extender, WLTC pure electric battery life of 175km, CLTC comprehensive battery life of 1315km, the entire series is equipped with 256-color ambient lights, dual panoramic sky curtain, double-layer silent glass of the whole car, Nappa leather seats, the front seats of the whole series support seat heating, seat ventilation, seat waist massage, and main driver's seat position memory; the second row of seats supports seat heating, seat ventilation, and seat waist massage; the third row of seats supports seat heating. The entire series of central control and co-pilot are equipped with 15.7-inch + 15.7-inch dual screens. The car is equipped with Snapdragon 8155 processor, which supports mainstream APPs such as Gaode , iQiyi, QQ Music, and standard with 13.35-inch high-definition projection HUD head-up display, inductive electric tailgate, full-speed adaptive cruise, mobile phone Bluetooth key, and standard with lane keeping assistance, adjacent car approach avoidance, intelligent follow-up, assisted line-up, speed limit reminder, lane departure warning, forward collision warning and other active safety configurations. The whole car is equipped with 8 safety gases. The configuration of the bags and so on is very explosive;
However, the configuration of the Ideal L8 is almost exactly the same as that of the Ideal L9 released on June 21, 2022. Its length, width and height have been reduced from 5218*1998*1800mm to 5080*1995*1800mm, and the wheelbase has been reduced from 3105mm to 3005mm. There is no car refrigerator and small table plate in the car. The OLED large screen has become an LCD screen, and the seats are 10-point massage to become waist massage, but the configurations such as shape, interior, range extender and other configurations are consistent, while the Ideal L8 There are only some differences between the number of screens, speakers, car machine hardware, and smart driving hardware, and other configurations are almost the same;
shows that Ideal Auto started a carnival of model by size in 2022. To use the statement of Li Xiang, CEO of Ideal Auto, Ideal L9 (full-size six-seater) is 180㎡ large three-bedroom, Ideal L8 (medium-large six-seater) is 120㎡ three-bedroom, Ideal L7 (medium-large five-seater) is 120㎡ large two-bedroom, Ideal L6 (medium-size five-seater) is 9 0㎡ two-bedroom apartment, target users accurately positioned, and all created a "car and home" user experience;
However, Ideal Auto suddenly stopped production of Ideal One in early September and gave a large discount, allowing new Ideal Auto owners and many second-hand car dealers who have purchased cars in the past three months to feel the taste of leeks. It can also be seen that Ideal Auto did not grow with users when product updates, and will decisively abandon old users who support it when necessary. This practice is a typical refinedist and deserves severe condemnation. In addition, for extended-range models, policy dividends are gradually disappearing, and many license plate-limited cities have also stopped giving licenses to extended-range models, which has made the prospects for extended-range models a little dim; while all the current models of Ideal Auto are all extended-range models. Although the products are good, they lack pure electric models. No one knows how far they can go in the future. However, as an exquisite enterprise, Ideal Auto will definitely gain a foothold with extended-range models in the early stage and then develop pure electric. However, whether the pure electric of Ideal Auto can maintain the current extended-range product experience, let us wait and see.
or above is the author’s interpretation of the configuration of Ideal L8, hoping to help car friends.
