With the delivery of L9, Ideal Automobile has begun to warm up L8 again. It’s still the familiar routine, still the familiar taste. What surprised me was that there are two designs of L8, one is a six-seater with patented images, the other is a big-five-seater with a sleek design, which Chairman Li called L8 Five-seater VIP version. I roughly skimmed through the spy photos I collected, and basically confirmed that X03, which I thought before, is actually the L8 big-sleek design five-seater version.
This is taken by a netizen from the neighboring community on his way to Turpan. He posted both photos and videos, and I am currently his only fan. As I cannot upload both images and texts at the same time, I will create another thread later to upload the video.
If you can’t tell the difference between this model and L8, I’ll analyze it for you: 
The image shows the difference between the spy photo and the L8 patent image. The main difference is that the disguised car has a sleek design on the back, which is more tightly closed, while L8 is more square and has a flatter top. The second difference is that the spy photo of the rear trunk seems to be slightly shorter than L8. 
Looking at the comparison of the rear, the edge of the rear door of the disguised car is more rounded, while the L8’s design is more square. Due to its sleek design, the rear window of the disguised car is narrower.
If you still don’t understand after reading the interpretation, please check out the video I uploaded.
