AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)07/26 Report--

On July 26, several media reported that some netizens revealed that during the test drive of the ideal L9 on a rainy day, the test driver accelerated and the car's active brakes failed to hit the guardrail, resulting in a broken shaft. According to the exposure information, the ideal L9 active brake for the test driver failed, the front right side of the car was beyond recognition, the front bumper fell off, the wing plate was deformed, the airbag of the front axle burst, and the wheel was trapped in the car and could not be driven.

In response to the incident of ideal L9 test driving, this afternoon, the ideal car official forwarded the video on Weibo and released the video of the driving recorder of the ideal L9 Ningbo test driving accident: on a rainy night, it hit the metal guardrail at the speed of 86km/h, damaging more than 30 meters of guardrail, no one was injured and the air spring was intact.

On July 17, according to the CCTV, there was a problem with the ideal L9 suspension. The left front wheel of the vehicle was trapped in the body and could not drive normally. It was suspected that the vehicle had an air suspension failure. The group chat showed that it was suspected to be an emergency brake, causing the air suspension of the ideal L9 to break. As soon as the report was released, it quickly sparked a heated debate in the market, to which the ideal car responded: "the test driving in Chongqing is to drive at a speed of 90 km / h through a pit with a depth of 20 cm, resulting in damage to the buffer ring inside the empty spring." Because of the supply problem, some of our test drivers have used the buffer ring in the trial production stage. Although the trial version meets the safety standards, it will fail occasionally under large impact conditions. The buffer ring strength of the actual mass production version is 2.5 times that of the trial version, and there will be no problem in the face of greater impact. " In addition, ideal said, "this failure is a case of non-mass-produced parts, which has been identified and will be resolved on the final mass-produced body."

In order to reassure users, ideal Automobile has announced a solution-the upgrade of the ideal L9 air spring warranty program. On July 18, ideal Automobile said, "recently, an ideal L9 store tested driving at high speed into a large pit in the road, causing air leakage damage to the right front air spring, bringing users doubts about the quality and durability of the air spring." Out of confidence in product quality and to allay users' concerns about air springs, we decided to upgrade the ideal L9 air spring (including air spring body, air pump, gas storage tank) warranty scheme to the same 8 years or 160000 kilometers as the Sandian system, and the used car transaction does not affect the validity period of the warranty. "

The ideal L9, the second mass production model under the ideal car, was officially put on the market on June 21 with a price of 459800 yuan. Before the launch of the new car, ideal car founder Li Xiang campaigned for the new car ideal L9, claiming it to be "the best household flagship SUV of less than 5 million." at the launch of the ideal L9 on June 21, Li wanted to say bluntly: "the suspension of the ideal L9 uses a front double-arm and rear five-link structure, providing flagship driving performance and ride comfort, combined with millisecond response CDC damping system, even compared with Curinan. We are not afraid at all.

In terms of price, the ideal L9 is 110000 yuan more expensive than the ideal ONE released four years ago, but the popularity of the ideal L9 is not affected by the price. on the night of the launch of the ideal L9, the server crashed because the reservation was so hot that Mini Program had a "service trigger circuit breaker mechanism", while the official website showed an unknown error and could not complete the order. At 21:14 that night, the ideal car official responded that "due to the hot booking of the ideal L9, the server is currently under emergency repair." At 21:55, the ideal car once again issued the message "the server has been restored, you can book the ideal L9 normally." For the sales performance after the ideal L9, Li said in a high profile: "the sales of the ideal L9 will certainly steadily exceed the ideal ONE."
