NIO CEOLi Bin said, "He doesn't understand why people nowadays still buy oil cars. Only by being nostalgic can they buy oil cars. What else is better than being able to smell a little gasoline?" From this sentence, we can see that the current automobile market is developing from the fuel vehicle era to the new energy vehicle era, but this sentence by Li Bin, CEO of , is also a bit extreme. After all, the current pure electric models still have two major problems of battery life and charging. So on this premise, new energy vehicles with extended ranges are more suitable, because extended ranges can last longer, refuel and recharge. For example, the two cars I introduced to you today - Ideal ONE and Ideal L8.

In the early days, I didn’t pay much attention to Ideal Auto , but the sales of Ideal ONE this car attracted me. After all, it sold more than 10,000 units in a single month, and it is also the sales champion of medium and large SUVs. This time, Ideal ONE has also achieved a replacement and upgrade, which is the protagonist Ideal L8 introduced today. As a replacement model, the two cars have a little different price and model categories. Ideal ONE has 349,800 in total, and only one car. The Ideal L8 is priced at 359,800-399,800 yuan, and there are two options: Pro and Max versions. As a consumer, the Ideal L8 has more options, but the threshold is slightly higher. After all, the top-end model is close to 400,000.

Now let’s compare the appearance. The appearance design of the ideal ONE is relatively square, supplemented by the embellishment of the through-type light strip, giving people the feeling of being hard-core and technological elements. The front design of the Ideal L8 is a little rounder, but the through-type light strip is not absent. The two complement each other and look much younger and more fashionable. On the side of the body, both cars are medium and large SUVs, so they both look very slender and have good tension in the lines. When it comes to the tail, the through-type taillights have a relatively high recognition. The difference is in body size. Compared with the ideal ONE, the length and wheelbase of the ideal L8 have a certain improvement. The ideal L8 has a length of 5080mm and the wheelbase reaches 3005mm, which also shows that the ideal L8 will be a little larger.

. The interior design of the two cars are very different. Ideal ONE uses a through-type 3-connected screen. This design was indeed quite eye-catching when it was first launched, but after being imitated by many cars, it doesn’t look that shocking. The Ideal L8 uses a HUD screen and designs two large screens in the central control screen and the co-pilot position, which is quite technological. However, the high-end Max version has a 15.7-inch entertainment screen in the rear seat, which allows you to play games and entertain, so in this regard, this L8 increases entertainment and playability. In terms of power, both cars are equipped with extended-range power. The advantage of the extended-range power is that you can refuel or charge. Usually, when we travel in the city, we can use the pure electric mode. The driving experience is the same as that of electric vehicles. We can generate electricity by driving for a long distance, so there is no anxiety about endurance and charging. Moreover, the range of these two cars exceeds 1,000KM. Finally, the Ideal L8 has also upgraded a configuration, that is, the air suspension. The Ideal ONE model only has soft and hard adjustments on the suspension, while the Ideal L8 not only has soft and hard adjustments, but also has high and low adjustments, and also has a new air suspension. Therefore, in terms of high-end and driving experience, this Ideal L8 has improved a certain degree.

In general, Ideal ONE has proved itself through sales and has also made itself the champion model. Ideal L8 took over the "baton" from Ideal ONE to further improve the quality of the champion. For luxury SUVs under 400,000, the BBA series is not bad either, but it is the trend created by the times. This extended-range design may be more in line with current needs. Although the price of Ideal L8 has increased to a certain extent compared with Ideal ONE, it has also upgraded its product strength in many aspects, so Ideal L8 is expected to achieve better results than Ideal ONE. So, what do you think of these two cars?
