Although Ideal Auto focuses on the home market, this brand is committed to making the home market no longer limited to space and size, but enjoy a more luxurious home travel experience at a lower price. When Ideal ONE was released, there were no competitors in the same class, and Ideal ONE also took advantage of the first-mover advantage for a long time. Since the Ideal ONE model may be discontinued in October, as a replacement model, Ideal L8 appeared in front of consumers. Ideal L8 is positioned as a family smart luxury six-seater SUV and launched two versions of Pro and Max. The overall body size is further increased and it is still positioned as a medium and large SUV. In addition, it will also be equipped with four-wheel drive, air suspension and other configurations in the entire series. What is the specific price starting from 359,800 yuan? Let's find out!

In terms of appearance, the new car has been replaced with a brand new family design style, and the overall shape is very similar to that of Ideal L9. The front face through-type star ring headlights are quite design-like with split light sets. The through-type light strips have outstanding lighting effect. The front windshield is also equipped with lidar and camera sensors, providing consumers with advanced driving assistance functions. The air intake grille runs through the two ends of the lower surround and is separated by vertical trim. The split headlights are located on both sides of the front surround. The overall front face looks very simple, but has a strong sense of futuristic.

The side of the new car, as a sub-flagship model, Ideal L8 is also positioned as a medium-sized SUV. The side looks very wide. The outside of the window is surrounded by chrome trim strips, making the new car more refined. The side adopts a three-stage waistline design, the front and rear waistlines are connected to the front and rear light groups, and the practical and rounded shaped shape in the middle has a good light and shadow effect. The depressions and protrusions under the door make the new car look thicker, and the double five-spoke petal wheels are very eye-catching.

comes to the rear, and the overall style of Ideal L8 is still very simple. In the middle is a clean and neat through-type taillight. The tailgate is very regular, and the license plate frame is moved down to the rear bumper, further enhancing the sense of unity of the tailgate. Except for the connection gap of the tailgate, the rear is rarely decorated with practical vertical lines, which improves the visual width of the tail. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 5080/1995/1800mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 3005mm, of which the length, width and height are 50/35/40mm longer than the ideal ONE, and the wheelbase is 70mm longer. In terms of interior, the interior layout of the new car is basically consistent with the Ideal L9. It adopts the latest family design and is no longer equipped with a traditional dashboard. It is equipped with HUD, a safe driving interactive screen, a central control screen, and a co-driver entertainment screen located above the steering wheel. The second row is equipped with two independent seats. The air conditioning outlet shape behind the central armrest is consistent with L9. The second row of the high-end model also has a 15.7-inch entertainment screen. In terms of seat layout, in addition to continuing the 6-seat 2+2+2 layout of the Ideal ONE, the Ideal L8 will also provide a 2+3 5-seat layout for the first time. In terms of intelligent configuration of

, Ideal L8 will be divided into Pro version and Max version. The main difference between the two is the assisted driving function and the smart cockpit. The Pro version first launched the Horizon J5 chip, which is equipped with high-speed NOA navigation assisted driving standard. The smart cockpit uses Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, while the Max version uses NVIDIA dual Orin X chip, lidar and a full set of autonomous driving safety redundant systems. The smart cockpit system is equipped with two Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chips. In terms of comfort configuration, Ideal L8 comes standard with seat waist massage, first and second row seat ventilation/heating, three rows of seat heating, three-temperature zone automatic fresh air conditioning, four-seater nap mode, etc. Moreover, the four-wheel drive system and magic carpet air suspension are also standard for the entire series.

power, Ideal L8 is equipped with a range-extended hybrid system composed of 1.5T four-cylinder range extender + front and rear dual motors. The maximum engine power is 113kW, the maximum motor power is 330kW, the maximum torque of 620Nm, the acceleration time of 0-100km/h is only 5.3s, and the pure electric range is 168km.

Player's summary:

If I put the Ideal ONE in the current extended-range medium and large SUV market segment, it actually has good competitiveness. However, compared with Ideal ONE, Ideal L8 has upgraded in terms of space, configuration, power, etc. Compared with the flagship model L9, although Ideal L8 is slightly lower in position, the configuration of intelligent driving is consistent, which also makes Ideal L8 more competitive in the market. Ideal ONE's average monthly sales exceeded 10,000 units in the first half of the year. Do you think Ideal L8 will have a better market performance?
