Information Analysis
The most important information disclosed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology about L9 is undoubtedly the range and fuel consumption data. In the catalog, Ideal L9’s disclosed range data is the result of testing the vehicle’s battery from 100% to 20% charge, and the vehicle’s fuel consumption is the result of the test under the lowest charge. The battery capacity is calculated based on 1C discharge energy. The following is a comparison of the relevant data between Ideal L9 and the 2021 Ideal ONE that we have compiled.
Battery capacity / pure electric range / minimum charge fuel consumption per 100 km (kWh/km/L):
-
Ideal L9: 42.6 / 175 / 7.8
-
Ideal ONE: 38.5 / 130 / 8.6Compared to the Ideal ONE 21, the L9 has lower fuel and electric consumption despite having a larger body. The new car has achieved good results in energy optimization.
According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the L9 may offer factory-installed electric retractable pedals. As a full-size SUV, this configuration is very friendly for the elderly and children to get in and out.
In addition, the information shows that there are two types of wheel hub sizes, 20 and 21 inches, with the latter possibly being optional, totaling four styles. Theoretically, using larger and wider tires will also reduce the cruising range. This information is yet to be disclosed.
The main information of the Ideal L9 has been basically exposed, and the few parts that are still left include the third-row space, trunk space, and final price. The official previously revealed that the price of the new car will be between 450,000 and 500,000 yuan depending on the configuration. The release conference originally scheduled for April 16 has been postponed, and no specific rescheduling time has been announced yet.
