How difficult is it for domestic consumers? If you want to buy a full-size SUV, you can only choose luxury brands, such as Mercedes-Benz GLS, BMW X7 and Lincoln Navigator , etc. These cars are imported cars, and the cheapest ones cost 1 million yuan. Maybe you would say: Domestic brands also have full-size SUVs. Isn’t Hongqi LS7 also an SUV of this level? I dare say that those who can issue such "soul questioning" must be worth noting. You should know that the price of Hongqi LS7 starts from 1.3658 million, which is higher than the "bar" of Mercedes-Benz GLS and BMW X7. In other words, if you want to choose an imported full-size SUV of luxury brands, the price will not be less than 1 million yuan. So, are there no choice for consumers with less than 500,000 yuan?
With the arrival of the new energy vehicle era, domestic brands have finally had the strength to hit the high-end. At present, there are only two full-size new energy SUVs, one is the Hongqi E-HS9, priced at 509,800-779,800 yuan, and the other is the ideal L9, priced at 459,800 yuan. Only Ideal L9 has a price of less than 500,000 yuan. As a large SUV of the same level as the BMW X7, the price of Ideal L9 is 540,000 yuan cheaper than the BMW X7. Basically, it is the price of a luxury mid-sized SUV. The Mercedes-Benz GLC 300L will be close to 500,000 yuan after completing the Mercedes-Benz GLC. The Ideal L9 is two levels higher than the Mercedes-Benz GLC, and the price is very similar. I think its price is proportional to the product strength.
We can make a horizontal comparison with BMW X7. The 3.0T L6 engine of BMW X7 is 340 horsepower/450 Nm book data, and the time it exceeds 100 is 6.1 seconds. So, is the power of Ideal L9 stronger or weaker than that of BMW X7? Its front and rear dual motor intelligent four-wheel drive system provides a maximum power of 449 horsepower and a maximum torque of 620 Nm of . The acceleration time of 0-100km/h is 5.3 seconds, and the power output is stronger than the 3.0T BMW X7. What about the size? The length, width and height of the BMW X7 are 5163 mm, 2000 mm and 1835 mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 3105 mm. The length, width and height of the Ideal L9 are 5218 mm, 1998 mm and 1800 mm respectively, and the wheelbase is also 3105 mm. Its length is more advantageous than the BMW X7. After comparing it, you will find that the price of Ideal L9 is 540,000 yuan cheaper than BMW X7, with stronger power output and larger body size. The only advantage of BMW X7 may be: it is a luxury brand. Then what? there is none left!
In terms of technology and intelligence, Ideal L9 is also far ahead. BMW X7 is still the "old style", while Ideal L9 has evolved into a "new species", and has formed a crushing situation in terms of hardware. For example, the Ideal AD Max intelligent assisted driving system is equipped with dual Nvidia Orin-X chips, with a final computing power of up to 508 TOPS. Even if it is upgraded to L3 and L4 assisted driving systems in the future, Ideal L9 can also deal with it in terms of hardware. Its smart cockpit uses two Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 automotive-grade chips, and the on-board network communication uses 5G dual operators to ensure that there is no lag when watching high-definition online videos in the car. Its three 3K automotive-grade OLED screens are all 15.7 inches, and rear passengers can perform well whether they watch high-definition movies or play 3A games. In addition, the car is equipped with a HUD head-up display system, with a screen projection of up to 13.35 inches. In terms of intelligence, I think it can be described as "impeccable".
Ideal L9's spatial performance is naturally unquestionable. So, how comfortable is it to ride? Have you ever sat on Toyota Alpha ? The ride comfort of the ideal L9 is not inferior to that of Alpha , which fully achieves the riding texture of an executive-level MPV, and its space is more spacious than Alpha. The six seats of the car are equipped with electric adjustment and seat heating functions. In terms of materials, the seat interior is filled with 3D comfort sponge, the leather is Nappa leather, and the first and second rows of seats are also equipped with wing heating functions, seat ventilation and SPA-level ten-point massage functions. From these configurations and features, it can be seen that the Ideal L9 is a 6-seater full-size SUV that is biased towards family attributes. Its second row seats are equipped with four-way electric adjustable leg rests and carefully designed small table boards, which can be used for office work and "dry food", which is very practical.Under the air conditioner outlet panel, there is also an car refrigerator . In the hot summer, it is still very pleasant to drink a can of iced drink.
It also does not "neglect" the third row. The third row seats have good space and comfort. There are cup holders and USB charging interfaces on both sides, which look considerate and practical. In addition, its four doors and tailgate all use silent electric suction doors, the front windshield, dual panoramic sky curtain, 1 row and 2 rows of windows all use double-layer sound insulation thermal insulation glass , plus the 21-horn 7.3.4 panoramic sound system (using Dolby Atmos technology) and excellent sound insulation and noise reduction effect, the driving experience is good. In terms of chassis, the front double wishbone + rear five links and is equipped with air suspension, which can be adjusted in height within 80 mm range. Its range extender is 1.5T four-cylinder engine , with a thermal efficiency of up to 40.5%. Under CLTC conditions, the fuel consumption of heat engine is as low as 5.9L/100km. In terms of range, its CLTC pure electric range is 215km and the total range is 1315km. It can use electricity in cities, which can reduce the cost of using a car. The range extender will only be turned on when traveling long distances.
Finally, let’s take a look at the delivery of Ideal L9. It delivered a total of 10,123 cars in September, making it the first time that the domestic brand model with a monthly delivery of more than 400,000 yuan has exceeded 10,000 yuan, and it also broke the monopoly position of foreign brands in the price range of more than 400,000 yuan. In other words, users recognize the product strength and price of Ideal L9, otherwise its delivery volume would not exceed 10,000.
