The company's newest vehicle, LI Auto, officially launched the new generation of the LI ONE, the LI L8, and the family's first five-seat model, the LI L7, on the last day of the month of September.
Today, I also intend to talk to you about whether the LI L8, which carries the mission of the predecessor LI ONE, can carry the sales flag of the LI family again?
As usual, let's start with the price. This time, the LI L8 brings two models, Pro and Max, with a guide price of 359,800-399,800 yuan. From the perspective of the threshold, the LI L8 is a 10,000 yuan increase compared to the LI ONE; as to whether the price is conscientious, it may have to be seen from the product level. But from the recent scene of a group of people looking at the car in many LI stores, the product performance of this car is arousing everyone's interest.
In terms of design, the LI L8 follows the same family design language as the L9 from exterior to interior; the integrated star ring headlights and minimalist style of the exterior, as well as the multi-screen elements of the interior, will make the L8 sit true to the title of "Little L9". After all, the L8 is indeed very similar to the L9 if viewed from the front view and the front view inside the car.
In addition, when the LI ONE was on sale, its good performance of six-seat space also left a good impression on many users. As the successor of the LI L8, of course, will also take its essence, so we can see in the L8, it will be the body size of 5050 * 1995 * 1800mm, wheelbase also reached 3005mm, the seat is still retained 2 + 2 + 2 type six-seat layout. Then, for the third row of the L8 ride space, I think there is no need to worry, because the LI ONE is good proof, not to mention the LI L8 wheelbase is also slightly longer.
Comfort features, as the "family tradition" of four-seat power adjustment/heating/massage/ventilation, independent rear air conditioning, third row power down, three-zone fresh air conditioning, etc., have been inherited in the LI L8. At the same time, the new car is also equipped with standard electric suction doors, power steering wheel, 256-color ambient lighting and other configurations.
In terms of intelligence, both the Pro and Max models have Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chips; the Max model has an additional rear entertainment system, so the number of chips is upgraded to two. Then, both models also use the "dashboard" type HUD head-up display + steering wheel safety driving interaction screen.
The Pro model uses the Horizon Journey 5 chip with 128 TOPS of total computing power, while the Max model uses dual Nvidia Orin-X chips with 508 TOPS of total computing power and, like the L9, is also equipped with a LIDAR. However, it is worth mentioning that the NOA navigation assisted driving system is standard on the LI L8.
On the driving system, the LI L8 still uses the extended program electric technology and is equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder range extender. The electric motor part, the new car is equipped with dual motors with comprehensive power parameters of 330kW/620N-m, completing 0-100km/h in 5.5 seconds; the 42.8kWh battery pack equipped, the maximum range of pure electricity under CLTC conditions is 210km, with a comprehensive range of more than 1300km.
In terms of chassis, the LI L8 is upgraded to double-wishbone + five-link front and rear suspension with air suspension + CDC at a high specification level. Especially when driving on some small potholes or uneven roads, the LI L8 with the magic carpet function, in the filtering of advanced feeling and ride comfort advantages, in the same price range of SUVs in the horizontal compaLIn, the win should be greater, because the price of more than 300,000 joint venture luxury SUVs, but it is difficult to see the same chassis specifications of the model.
Full article summary.
Through the actual photography of the LI L8, I personally think that the probability of the LI L8 continuing to be the family's sales bearer should not be lower than any of the Ideal's cars.
Because in terms of product strength, its configuration on the Pro is already pleasing enough; although the threshold is 10,000 yuan higher, but in terms of quality-price ratio, you will feel that the 10,000 spent is not good? If you can go up to L8 Max, then I dare say this car is actually a flat version of L9, or "L9 for a family of four". Combined with its pricing of not more than 400,000, to be honest, the L8 in the same price range of competitors, I feel that there are really not many models that can compete with it head-on.
