Ideal Auto: In August 2022, Ideal Auto delivered a total of 4,571 vehicles, two-thirds lower than its peak period

Ideal Auto released its sales results for August, delivering a total of 4,571 vehicles , including Ideal ONE and Ideal L9. More than 4,000 units, compared to its peak period, it has directly dropped by two-thirds. It has to be said that Ideal ONE is indeed "not as popular anymore."

Of course, Ideal ONE has indeed reached the end of its life: at the same time as the results were released, Ideal Auto officially announced that Ideal L8 (the successor to Ideal ONE) will be released in November , while Ideal ONE will officially cease production in October.

Since its delivery, Ideal Auto has delivered a cumulative total of 199,484 vehicles in three years. For a domestic car priced at more than 300,000 yuan, this result is indeed very good.

Shen Yanan, co-founder and president of Ideal Auto, said: "The Ideal L9 has been officially delivered, and the first batch of users have expressed satisfaction with the product beyond expectations. In addition, the Ideal L8 will be released in early November 2022, and deliveries will begin in the same month. The Ideal L8 is a medium-to-large smart luxury SUV built for families. It will be available in two models: a six-seat version and a five-seat VIP version , to more widely meet the segmented needs of family users."

Li Xiang himself also gave a "spoiler" about Ideal L8. He said: Ideal L8 will provide two seat layouts: 6-seat and 5-seat VIP, and will provide Pro and Max models based on assisted driving and smart cockpit.

Li Xiang said that the Pro model corresponds to the combination of AD Pro and SS Pro, and the Max model is a combination of AD Max and SS Max. AD Max is a dual Orin X + LiDAR + full set of safety redundancy. AD Pro is the world's first high-performance new AD chip with a very high cost performance .

In short: Ideal L8 Pro models are available in two configurations: 5 seats + AD Pro + SS Pro, and 6 seats + AD Pro + SS Pro; Ideal L8 Max models are 5 seats + AD Max + SS Max, and 6 seats AD Max + SS Max.

One car model has four configuration combinations, which is also the first time that Ideal Auto has adopted a multi-configuration strategy.

In addition, just today, there was news that in order to cope with the sales decline caused by the end of the product life, the discount for Ideal ONE has reached 20,000 yuan . However, this news has not been officially confirmed by Ideal, and of course it is highly unlikely to be confirmed.
