Li Bin, CEO of NIO, said, "He couldn't figure out why people would buy an oil car now, how nostalgic would they be to buy an oil car, what's good about an oil car other than being able to smell a little gasoline?" . From this statement we can see that the current car market is developing from the fuel car era to the new energy car era, but the NIO CEO Li Bin's statement is also a bit radical, after all, the current pure electric models still have a range and charging or two major problems. So on such a premise, the new energy models with extended program are more suitable, because the extended program electric car can have long range, can be refueled and recharged, like the two cars introduced to you today - LI ONE and LI L8.
In the early days, I did not pay much attention to the LI car, but the LI ONE attracted me with sales, after all, it sold more than 10,000 units in a single month, and is also the sales champion of medium-sized SUV. This time, the LI ONE has been upgraded, which is the LI L8, the main character introduced today. as the replacement model, the two cars are a little different in price and model category. The LI ONE is priced at 349,800 for the whole series, with only one car. The LI L8, on the other hand, is priced at $359,800-$399,800, with two options, the Pro and Max versions. As a consumer, the LI L8 will be more selective, but the threshold is also a little higher, after all, the top model is close to 400,000RMB.
Now let's make a comparison from the appearance. The exterior design of the LI ONE is relatively square, complemented by the running lights, giving the impression of hardcore and technological elements. The LI L8 front design is a bit more rounded, but the through-lighting belt is not absent, the two complement each other, looking young and fashionable. On the side, both cars are medium to large SUVs, so they look very slender and have good tension lines. And when it comes to the rear, the running tail lights are more recognizable. The difference is the size of the body, the LI L8 compared to the LI ONE in length and wheelbase has been improved, the LI L8 car length 5080mm, wheelbase also reached 3005mm, which also shows that the LI L8 will be a little larger.
Sitting in the car, the interior design of the two cars is very different, the LI ONE is the use of through the 3 screens, this design is really more eye-catching at the beginning of the market, but after being imitated by many cars, it does not look that sense of shock. The LI L8 uses a HUD screen, and two large screens are designed in the center console as well as the passenger's position, which is also considered to have a good sense of technology. But the high end Max version has a 15.7 inch entertainment screen in the rear position that allows you to play games as well as entertainment, so in this regard, this L8 is increased entertainment as well as playability.
Power, these two cars are equipped with the program power, the advantage of the program is that you can refueling can also be charged. The LI L8 also has an upgraded configuration, which is the air suspension, the LI ONE only has hard and soft suspension adjustment, but the LI L8 not only has hard and soft adjustment, but also height adjustment. The LI L8 not only has soft and hard adjustment, but also has high and low adjustment, and also has a new air suspension, so the senior sense and driving experience, this LI L8 is a certain improvement.
Overall, the LI ONE has proved itself through sales and made itself a champion model, while the LI L8 is taking over the "baton" from the LI ONE to further improve the quality of the champion. For luxury SUVs within 400,000RMB, the BBA series is not bad, but it is the times that create the trend, and this kind of incremental design may be more in line with the current demand. And the LI L8 is expected to achieve even better results than the LI ONE, as it has a certain price increase compared to the LI ONE, but it also has a multi-faceted upgrade in product power. So, what do you think of these two cars?
