Not long ago, which one is more advanced technology, is the series-connected or series-parallel hybrid system? Several bigwigs started a war of quarrels online from afar. Great Wall Weipai CEO Li Ruifeng repeatedly bombarded the extended-range technology as a backward technology.
Indeed, compared with dual-motor series-parallel hybrid, extended-range is indeed a more backward technology, but it is undeniable that Ideal Auto has achieved impressive results in the market with its relatively backward technical route of extended-range hybrid. Among them, the label of daddy car is of great significance. .
Some people say that Ideal Auto mainly relies on the successful position of the big six-seat dad car. Coupled with the media tag effect of founder Li Xiang , the marketing is excellent, so it can become a dark horse. However, ideal is indeed successful enough in interpreting dad car, and sales figures also prove that dad car segment has high potential, and and Weipai Automobile are also interested in this market.
htmlOn October 14, Weipai officially released its first large six-seater smart electric SUV - Wei 80.
The new car has a length, width and height of 5105 mm / 1985 mm / 1800 mm, and a wheelbase of 3050 mm. It is positioned at a six-seater medium and large SUV. The size data is close to that of the ideal L8, and the estimated price is between 350,000 yuan and 400,000 yuan.
This car will be equipped with the smart DHT series-parallel hybrid technology that Weipai Automobile is proud of, adopting the "1.5T+DHT+P4" power architecture, the WLTC's comprehensive range exceeds 1,200 kilometers, and the WLTC's comprehensive fuel consumption is 0.75L/100km.
vs. Competing with the competing Ideal L8, Wei 80's biggest advantage is this hybrid system, dual motor series-parallel hybrid, and the design of two gears can realize direct engine driving at high speed, and the energy consumption is lower in scenarios such as high speed. However, Ideal Auto is a professional daddy car after all, and it may be more user-friendly in terms of configuration, design, etc. and more in line with the needs of family users.
For Ideal Auto, as more and more car companies focus on the six-seat daddy car market, the market competition faced by Ideal Auto may become increasingly fierce in the future. At that time, the shortcomings of extended-range technology and the lack of technical accumulation in the engine field of Ideal Auto may be amplified, which may be the reason why Ideal Auto intensively launched three models. The ideal pure electric vehicle is already under development and is expected to be launched in the second half of 2023. However, how can the ideal, which is a late arrival in pure electric vehicle models, compete with other new car-making forces?
