The big sales of Li Auto have opened up new ideas for many car companies.
It turns out that the "refrigerator color TV sofa", coupled with the intelligent full-size family SUV with a range extender, is the car that consumers need the most.
Therefore, everyone is also learning from the same.
The best learned is the M7 and M9, and the sales volume can already compete with the ideal car, and the monthly sales of the M9 car alone are as high as 16,000 units.
Of course, you can learn from the ideal of building a car, but the price does not have to be so expensive.
Recently, many car companies have launched models that can "benchmark" the ideal car, but the price is only half of the ideal car, and people give it the nickname "half-price ideal".
There are many similar models, however, only two models are more competitive, that is, Dongfeng eπ008 and Leap C16.
Dongfeng eπ08, the body size is even larger than the ideal L8, the configuration is not low, the key price is only more than 180,000, however, this article does not introduce this car.

In this article, it mainly introduces the large six-seater SUV that can be "benchmarked" against the ideal L8, and the price is only half of the ideal L8 Leap C16, to see how much of the price of 155,800 can be exchanged for ideals?
Leap C16 is officially launched, the starting price of the extended range version is only 155,800, and the top intelligent driving version is only 179,800, which is indeed only half of the ideal L8.
As the largest model of Leapmotor, the C16 is officially declared to be an SUV, but it has a large space and comfort of MPV, with a length of 4915mm and a wheelbase of 2825mm, which is slightly smaller than the ideal L8.
In terms of power, C16 is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated extended range engine, with a maximum power of only 70kW and a maximum horsepower of 95Ps, while its single motor has a maximum power of 170kW and a total torque of only 320Nm, accelerating to 100 kilometers in more than 8 seconds.
The ideal L8 range extender system is composed of a 1.5T four-cylinder engine + front and rear dual motors, with a comprehensive system power of 330kW and an acceleration of 100 kilometers in only 5.3 seconds.
Compared with the power of the ideal L8, the power of the Leap C16 is nearly half less.
Sure enough, "you get what you pay for".
In terms of power battery, the C16 is equipped with a 28.4-degree lithium iron phosphate battery with a pure electric range of 200 kilometers (CLTC) and a full battery range of 1095 kilometers.
The ideal L8 is equipped with a ternary lithium battery with a 42.8 kWh of electricity.
It is worth mentioning that the Leap C16 car supports super fast charging, and pure electric only takes 0.5 hours, which is the same as the L8, which is worthy of praise.
In terms of chassis, the Leap C16 adopts the design method of front MacPherson + rear five-link independent suspension.
Compared with the design of the front double wishbone rear five-link of the ideal L8, it is still a little worse.
In terms of comfort, the Leapmotor C16 provides a panoramic canopy, leather seats, electric adjustment of the main and passenger seats and the second row of seats, memory of the main driver's seat, leather multi-function steering wheel, seat welcome, 12-speaker audio system, etc.
As for other intelligent configurations, such as active braking, lane keeping, lane change assist, tire pressure display, collision warning, 360 panoramic image, 14.6-inch large screen of the car machine, DOW door opening warning, full-speed ACC adaptive cruise, L2 auxiliary driving system can be on par with the ideal L8.
However, in the intelligent assisted driving system, the ideal L8 has obvious advantages, and the zero run C16 only has the top 200 intelligent driving version, which has similar functions, however, the price is more expensive17000, and it currently only supports high-speed NOA, and does not support urban NOA, and the cost performance is not particularly high.
The only hardware configuration that can be close to the ideal L8 is the car machine system chip, which is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip, so it must be very good in terms of smoothness.
In short, as a large-size family SUV, although the Leap C16 is not as good as the ideal L8 in terms of configuration, and the gap is not small, but in the case of only selling from 155,800, the cost performance is still very high.
Because, it should have the configuration basically, just like Leapmotor, has been pursuing the "cost-effective strategy", if your budget is only about 160,000, and you want a large six-seater SUV, then, Leap C16 is definitely your best choice.
A six-seater SUV of such a large size may be in addition to the ideal, but the price is basically more than 250,000, and there is rarely a price of 155,800, even if it is the same "half-price ideal" Dongfeng eπ08, the price is more than 180,000.
Finally, Leap C16 also provides an optional package of 10,000 yuan, including 21-inch wheels and tires, ambient lighting that moves with the rhythm of music, a 15.6-inch rear entertainment screen, and a 21-speaker audio system that supports 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos.
It's a pity that the 15.6-inch rear entertainment screen is not a separate option.
In short, as a family 6-seater SUV, the price of 155,800 is still quite good, after all, not everyone can afford to buy ideals and ask the world.
This gives consumers who have the same large 6-seater SUV demand, but have a limited budget and can't afford to buy an ideal and questioning consumer.
As for whether the Leap C16 will sell out?
Personally, I don't think so, but it is very likely to become the best-selling car of Leapmotor.
