This year's MPV market will usher in a complete reshuffle. First, a large number of domestic high-end MPV models will be released first; domestic SUVs will develop upward to high-end, and then a large number of hybrid and pure electric MPVs will appear, representing the MPV market With the gradual development towards electrification, it can be said that in the future, domestic brands and new energy models from domestic car manufacturing forces will completely break the current situation of joint venture brands monopolizing the high-end MPV market.
Recently, Ideal, one of the representatives of new car-making forces, has also launched its own MPV product. It is positioned as a medium and large MPV. According to Ideal’s brand concept, its positioning is also an MPV model that focuses on family scenes, and this model will be Ideal pure electric platform products have completely abandoned the extended-range model that is currently the focus of Ideal. It is reported that this model will be officially launched next year. It is still in the experimental stage. The estimated price starts from 300,000 to 400,000 yuan and will compete with the standard , Sina, , GL8, Jiahua and other models.
I think it is the right idea for Ideal to fully develop MPVs at this stage. After all, the entire Ideal brand is positioned for home users, and MPVs are the most needed models for home users. However, domestic MPV models often focus on the business travel market, resulting in Family use scenarios have been ignored, so ideally this MPV will have its own independent positioning and market after it is launched.
In terms of appearance, according to the currently exposed spy photos, it can be seen that the overall shape of the car is very streamlined. The front face is pushed very low due to the convenience of the pure electric platform, unlike most MPV models today. The lower edge is lower than the crotch of adults, which effectively improves the field of vision and makes the whole vehicle more dynamic. The front face is expected to adopt a closed design. It is expected to use the same star ring type daytime running lights as the L9. The headlights are hidden design. Generally speaking, the front face is relatively simple, focusing on streamlines. This shape is somewhat similar to the modern STARIA. This shape that looks like an bullet seems to be like the style of most MPVs in the last century, for example.
The side shape is quite recognizable. It adopts a design style with high front and low back. The overall shape highlights smoothness and lines. The side shape is quite simple and has almost no redundant line design. , because the A column is tilted forward as a whole, the size of the triangular window is not small, which can make up for the blind area of vision. The door handle adopts a hidden design. The entire side is quite simple. In terms of size, the length is expected to be about 5.2 meters, and the wheelbase is 3 meters. , which is a standard medium and large MPV product.
As for the rear design, there are not many details in the spy photos, but because the low tail makes the rear of the car appear more compact, the taillight group is suspected to adopt a through-type design language, and the overall shape is relatively simple, in line with the style of a household MPV. position. Overall, from the appearance design point of view, the style of the new car is more technological and streamlined. The focus should be on the layout of the car and the family car scene.
There are no spy photos of the interior yet, but I think the overall design language of the interior should be highly similar to that of the current Ideal L9, except that it will adopt the usual MPV central island platform and the style of connecting the front and rear rows. After all, Ideal focuses more on family. It is convenient for home users to use it through front and back. In addition, the functionality and comfort of the second-row seats must be great. In addition, the space of the third-row seats should be quite large, and the storage space in the body-length trunk should not be too bad either. ,
will be built using the latest pure electric platform of Ideal in terms of power, but the specific power parameters are not yet clear, but considering that it is an MPV product for family needs, I think the power will not be too strong. The battery pack will be equipped with CATL Kirin battery pack, using CATL third-generation CTP technology. Compared with traditional batteries, the energy density is greater, the energy density can reach 255Wh/kg, and the volume utilization rate is higher, with the volume utilization rate exceeding 72 %, and also supports fast charging piles above 800V. In addition, the cruising range is expected to exceed 1,000 kilometers. Under this parameter, even long-distance travel is not without problems.
Summary: The ideal is currently walking on two legs. One direction is extended-range technology, and the other direction is pure electric technology. Extended-range is just a transitional means. In the future, if pure electric technology matures, extended-range technology will be abandoned, and MPV products It can better fit the product positioning of an ideal family car. It can be said that this car is the ideal future mass-market model. (Text/Youshi Automobile Haoyang)
