On the last day of September, Ideal Auto officially released its new model - L7/L8. The L8, as the replacement model of Ideal ONE, was also paid attention to by many consumers before it was launched. At the press conference, Ideal also announced that it will start a major decision. So, it is estimated that friends who are interested in Ideal L8 may go to Ideal Auto Store to have a try during the National Day holiday.
Not to mention anything else, just relying on the popularity of Ideal Auto and Ideal L8, the number of customer views of Ideal Stores has been ranked first in the new force during the National Day holiday, and it feels very likely.
But the popularity is the popularity. The final place for everyone to buy a car is of course at the product level. After all, no one wants to buy a car that is strong and hard-working in Taiwan. Therefore, our focus is to return to the product itself. In terms of price of
, Ideal L8 launched two versions Pr and Max, with guide prices of 359,800 yuan and 399,800 yuan respectively. Personally, I think the pricing of Ideal L8 is actually not cheap, and this price is enough for a pretty good BBA; so if this L8 wants to grasp the sales volume, it will inevitably need to increase the price of the product.
Specifically, in terms of power, Ideal L8 adopts Ideal self-developed and produced 1.5T four-cylinder extended-range, heat engine fuel consumption reaches 5.9L/100km, and is also equipped with a 42.8kWh battery pack. The maximum pure electric range under WLTC conditions is 175km, and the full fuel capacity is 1100km. As the driving force, the first five-in-one/back three-in-one motor has a comprehensive power of 330kW/620N·m, and it only takes 5.5 seconds to complete the acceleration of 0-100km/h.
In terms of the chassis hardware, in addition to the suspension with the front double wishbone + rear five-link, the Magic Carpet Air Suspension System is also standard this time. During driving, it will use a smart air spring + CDC continuous variable damping damping damper, which will make it more like a flagship model in terms of advanced driving.
At the same time, in terms of body size, it is positioned as an ideal L8 for medium and large SUVs, with a length, width and height of 5080*1995*1800mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 3005mm. In the seat part, the six-seat layout of the L8 uses Nappa leather and 3D comfort sponge. On the first and second rows of seats, the car will also be basically full.
and three-zone fresh air conditioner, all-vehicle electric suction door , 256 color ambient lights, and front and rear double-layer thermal insulation glass , are also standard on the ideal L8. Judging from the seats and comfort configuration alone, I feel that when I want to compete with luxury SUVs of the same price or even 500,000 yuan, I will basically not be at a disadvantage.
In addition, in terms of smart cockpit and intelligent driving assistance, the comprehensive performance of Ideal L8 is also quite good. Let’s take a look at the cockpit first. This time, the new car, like L9, has canceled the traditional instrument design and replaced it with the HUD head-up display and the interactive screen above the steering wheel. On the central control screen and the passenger entertainment screen, Ideal L8 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip arranged to establish response speed and smoothness; on the Max version, the rear entertainment system also has an 8155 chip built-in.
In terms of intelligent driving assistance, the Ideal L8 Pro is equipped with AD Pro intelligent driving assistance system. The intelligent driving chip uses Horizon Journey 5, and the final computing power is 128TOPS; by the way, the Pro version is also equipped with high-speed NOA navigation assisted driving function standard. The Ideal L8 Max is equipped with AD Max intelligent driving assistance system and built-in dual NVIDIA Orin-X chips, with a 508TOPS final computing power, and is also equipped with an lidar .
Then, with the support of series of hardware, the system will also realize the intelligent driving assistance function in all scenarios in the future. The driving assistance of the Max version of Ideal L8 is basically the same as that of Ideal L9, so I think the Max version is more like a "little L9".
Editing summary:
It is not difficult to see that compared to the senior Ideal ONE, Ideal L8 gives everyone a favorable impression at the product level, and it should only increase and not decrease. For example, this car can even have an advantage in terms of overall chassis specifications when benchmarking against luxury SUVs of the same price.With the support of the luxurious configuration, smart cockpit and smart driving system, I personally think that if your budget is exactly 350,000-400,000 yuan, after balancing high-quality home use and quality-price ratio, Ideal L8 is likely to appear on your alternative list.
