2024 is undoubtedly a difficult year for Li Auto, and the Li Auto L6 ( Picture | Configuration | Inquiry ) has become the most important model for Li Auto to turn the situation around. The new car is officially launched today, with a price range  yuan, divided into Pro version and MAX version.

interior and exterior design

​

Let’s talk about the design first. L6/L7/L9 almost all have the same design language. The difference in appearance is minimal, but the difference is in positioning. The promotional video of the press conference revealed that this car is aimed at the family user group. It can travel through the city and deal with the streets and alleys, and the size is just right.

But the size of the actual car is not small at all. The length, width and height are 4925/1960/1735mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2920mm. The size is very close to the Mercedes-Benz GLE, and it is properly positioned as a medium and large SUV. Therefore, although it is mainly used for home use, it is also used for business. It’s also easy to do.

Let’s talk a little more about the appearance. The new car comes in two very nice colors, green and elephant gray. It needs to be optional, but it’s really nice.

The overall design of the car is similar to other L-series models, but the roof is a large canopy. Since there is no ceiling screen, there is no need for a segmented sunroof. The sunroof is equipped with a physical sunshade, which must be praised. The seat layout is 2+3, and the standard second-row seats can be folded down with one button to transform into a large bed in seconds. As a camper van, the L6 is even more enjoyable than its bigger brother.

Hardware Configuration

 

The range extender uses a 1.5T engine, all series have dual-motor four-wheel drive, the CLTC pure electric cruising range is 212 kilometers, and the CLTC comprehensive cruising range is 1,390 kilometers, which is very advantageous among models in the same price range. But pay attention to two details. One is the battery pack, which is a lithium iron phosphate battery pack. The other is chassis suspension, no air suspension, all springs + CDC.

 

Let’s talk about the battery cells first. Previously, Ideal models used ternary lithium batteries. This time, lithium iron phosphate batteries are used, so naturally everyone has concerns. I read the two most frequently asked questions on the Internet. One is whether northern lithium iron phosphate batteries will lose power quickly in winter. The second is whether the discharge capacity of lithium iron phosphate batteries will affect acceleration.

 

Regarding these two points, Li Auto has given the answer. They have specially developed a thermal management system based on heat pumps on the Ideal L6, and the battery life in winter is even comparable to that of ternary lithium batteries. At the same time, the L6 is equipped with a new generation of lithium iron phosphate battery, which has a strong discharge capacity and can accelerate from 0 to 100 mph in 5.4 seconds.

As for the chassis, there is no air suspension but it is equipped with CDC variable damping shock absorbers. The press conference said that when the front axle passes through bumps, the rear axle will immediately soften to ensure the comfort of rear passengers. So I believe the comfort will be guaranteed, but I hope that the Ideal L6 can be a little tougher. After all, the previous Ideal models were too focused on comfort.

 

Luxurious equipment

 

Configuration has always been an ideal advantage, and the difference between high and low configurations is minimal. The car is equipped with the 8295P chip as standard, which is currently the top car chip. It comes standard with double-layer laminated glass and Nappa leather. The front row is equipped with seat ventilation, heating, memory, and massage. The whole car comes with 5 soft pillows for comfort. No matter how high or low the sex is, it will fill you up.

 

The difference between Pro and Max high-end configurations mainly lies in three configurations. One is high-end intelligent driving with lidar, the second is platinum audio, and the third is car refrigerator.

 

write at the end

 

The release of the Ideal L6, as always, perfectly meets the pain points of car use for family users and is still very attractive. It just lacks a bit of flavor. After all, in 2024, all major brands are engaging in price wars, and the launch of the Ideal L6 seems to have only made up for the market vacancy of Ideal's large five-seater home SUVs priced at 250,000, giving home buyers one more choice, but there is no need to compete. It means walking together in death.

So regarding the Ideal L6, do you think it can regain the sales banner of Ideal? Welcome to discuss with us in the comment area below.
