Reported by Pulsestacks on May 6th, Ideal Cars experienced a surge in sales during the recent May Day holiday. Official data reveals that from April 18th to May 5th, the new Ideal L6 has accumulated over 41,000 orders! Additionally, the company has announced new ordering benefits: from May 6th to May 31st, customers can enjoy ordering benefits worth 15,000 yuan, including a 5,000 yuan deposit deduction from the 10,000 yuan vehicle purchase price, a 5,000 yuan optional equipment fund, and a 7kW AC charging pile worth 5,000 yuan along with installation services.
On May 4th, according to official data released by Li Auto, as of that day, the cumulative orders for the Li ONE had exceeded 30,000 units. A simple calculation shows that on May 5th, the last day of the first sales rights, daily orders for the Li ONE exceeded 10,000 units.
In a single day, sales exceeded tens of thousands, truly impressive. Many people exclaimed that their long-suppressed aspirations finally made a comeback after more than three months. Now, sales have firmly surpassed the 30,000 mark in May.
As of April 30, 2024, Ideal Motors has 481 retail centers in 144 cities nationwide; 361 after-sales service and authorized body spray centers covering 210 cities. Ideal Motors has deployed 386 Ideal Supercharging Stations across the country, with a total of 1678 charging piles.

In terms of appearance, the Ideal L6 continues the family design, but with two noticeable differences. Firstly, the L6's lightsaber headlights are longer compared to other L series products, with the automatic driving assistance warning lights and light strips on both sides integrated. Additionally, the new car has only 2 air intakes at the lower bumper, while other models have 4. In terms of body size, the Ideal L6 measures 4925/1960/1735mm in length, width, and height respectively, with a wheelbase of 2920mm, making it the smallest product in the Ideal L series.

The new car's side lines show significant differences compared to the Ideal L7 (parameters | image), with the L7 having a larger flat door area. Additionally, due to size variations, the front door size of the L6 is slightly smaller. Of course, the best way to distinguish the L6 is to look at the position of the rear wheel calipers; among the four models in the L series, only the L6 has a rear layout for the rear wheel calipers. Moving to the rear, like the L8, the L6 places the license plate frame on the bumper, but it adopts a split design for the high-mounted brake light, similar to the L7.
Upon entering the car, the overall interior design layout continues the family-style design. The main change is in the rear seats, which still resemble a large sofa. However, the rear seats are not equipped with screens. Instead, the car now features a panoramic sunroof, making the interior more spacious. Additionally, the car refrigerator has been upgraded to a high-end exclusive model.
The ideal L6's four-screen interaction consists of a central control screen, a co-pilot entertainment screen, a safety driving interaction screen, and a HUD head-up display. The front dual 15.7-inch 3K large screens with a pixel density of 210PPI have reached the level of a "retina screen." The HUD can not only display key information such as navigation maps and vehicle speed but also show intelligent driving environment information, deeply integrating the HUD with the vehicle system in software.
The front seats in the L6 offer ventilation, heating, and a ten-point massage feature, while the steering wheel provides full-circle heating. The rear seats offer heating for three seats, ventilation for two seats, and support electrically adjustable backrest angles. The trunk depth exceeds one meter and supports one-touch power folding and resetting.
On the power front, the ideal L6 is built on a new generation of lithium iron phosphate batteries to create an extended-range electric system. The CLTC comprehensive range is 1390 kilometers, with a pure electric range of 212 kilometers, and charging from 20% to 80% takes just 20 minutes. Officials have indicated the development of a heat pump-based thermal management system, allowing winter range performance to match that of ternary lithium batteries.
In terms of performance, the ideal L6 can achieve an acceleration of 5.4 seconds per hundred kilometers, and with optimized battery low-temperature discharge capability, it can still achieve a 6-second acceleration per hundred kilometers at minus 10 degrees Celsius.
In terms of chassis, the Ideal L6 comes standard with CDC sports suspension. With a front double wishbone and rear five-link suspension structure, it balances both handling and comfort. The CDC sports suspension can actively adjust damping every millisecond based on road conditions, continuously adapting to changes in the road surface for improved overall shock absorption.
The Ideal L6 comes standard with 9 safety airbags, including front far-end airbags and second-row seat side airbags. The AEB emergency braking function, on the AD Max model equipped with a laser radar, achieves emergency braking to stop large trucks at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour. On the AD Pro model relying on visual algorithms, it can also achieve braking at 80 kilometers per hour in nighttime conditions.
In terms of intelligent driving, AD Pro focuses mainly on computer vision, equipped with a domestically developed high-performance intelligent driving chip with 128 TOPS computing power. It will be delivered with the Ideal L6 and will be upgraded to AD Pro 3.0 simultaneously, enabling high-speed NOA for BEVs, urban LCC, and intelligent parking in complex parking spaces.
AD Max adopts dual redundancy of vision and LiDAR, equipped with a globally higher computing power intelligent driving chip, achieving 508 TOPS computing power. AD Max 3.0 will further enhance advanced autonomous driving capabilities, enabling toll booth companionship, chauffeur command, and urban NOA functionality.
