Finally, it's here!

After the third month following the announcement of the pre-sale price, the latest news about the Ledao L60 has arrived. The first mass-produced vehicle officially rolled off the assembly line at the NIO F2 factory, and the first owner is Ledao's "own person," Xia Qinghua, who is in charge of Ledao's service operations.

At the same time, Ledao officially released a teaser image of the new car's interior. Its true appearance is finally revealed. Does it meet the design expectations for a family car? Let's take a look together.

Spaciousness is an eternal allure in the automotive market, especially for consumers looking to purchase a family car.Therefore, in the past, when car manufacturers promoted the interior space of their vehicles, they particularly emphasized the legroom in the back seats and the headroom.

Thus, automotive media would follow this direction, and when describing the legroom and headroom in the back seats, their descriptions would strikingly resemble each other, such as mentioning how many fists of legroom there are in the back, or how many fingers or palms of headroom.

However, times have changed.

Ever since the advent of new energy vehicles and the disruption of the concept of interior space by the Model Y, domestic car manufacturers have been inspired as if they had their Ren and Du meridians unblocked. It's no longer just about how much legroom there is in the back seats, but rather the entire interior space of the vehicle.

Whether one can cross their legs, recline for a rest, or fully recline to sleep, from full-size SUVs to compact cars, car manufacturers can create a variety of options. There is no limit to what they can achieve, limited only by one's imagination.There you are, no need to look around, I'm talking about you, wearing the high hat of "Master of Interior Space", your neck is all twisted, don't you think it's time to take it off?

Ledo L60 has put a lot of thought into showcasing its interior space. From the teaser images, you can see a child sitting in the back seat, and a little spotted deer standing in the aisle, making the entire space appear very spacious, especially the legroom and headroom in the back seat.

This is quite interesting. The visual effect of people and animals in the car not only highlights the space in the back row but also promotes the harmonious coexistence of people, animals, and nature. Isn't that the low-carbon lifestyle that new energy vehicles are pursuing?

This should be considered the design of the current mainstream family car, which can meet the needs of daily work and lunch breaks, as well as the needs of overnight stays during self-driving tours, very practical.Panoramic sunroofs, these are now the "standard configuration" for new energy vehicles. Owners in the south are most familiar with the "enthusiasm" of panoramic sunroofs. I guess the new car should have an option for sunshade accessories, just like NIO.

The console design of the Ledao L60 is very simple, without a liquid crystal dashboard, and is paired with a combination of HUD + 17.2-inch central control screen. At the end of the central armrest, there is a liquid crystal brand installed. When you zoom in on the picture, you can see that it can control the air conditioning, video, and music playback.

Is the steering wheel part of the Ledao L60 a bit familiar?

That's right, it looks very similar to the one next door in the Xiaopeng MONA M03, and the small screen in front of the steering wheel should be a fatigue monitoring camera.Additionally, from the teaser images and pictures posted by netizens, there are two small details worth noting about the Ledao L60. One is the absence of a glove compartment in front of the passenger seat, which should be designed to provide more legroom for users when they are reclining.

The other detail is the rear air conditioning vent. Typically, this is located behind the central armrest, but the new car has a small screen in that position, so the rear air conditioning vent is placed on the B-pillar. Luxury cars and MPVs are designed this way to allow rear passengers to feel the cool air more evenly and for it to be more comfortable when blown.

Did something get left out?

Yes, the teaser images of the new car did not show the location of the refrigerator.However, based on the live broadcast of Ledao Tiecheng and the actual photos of the new car, we can infer that the refrigerator is not located in the cabin, but possibly in the lower part of the trunk. Although it is not very convenient, it is at least better than not having one, and it might be that the official believes that placing it in the lower part of the trunk provides better insulation.

In addition, during the live broadcast, Li Bin revealed that the new car will offer two battery pack capacities of 60kWh and 90kWh, both built on a 900V platform, with extremely high charging peak power. Even without battery swapping, the charging speed is very high.

Lastly, of course, there is the price.

The pre-sale price of the Ledao L60 starts at 219,900 yuan, which is indeed competitive in its class, but it is not particularly enticing.However, after browsing social platforms, I found that some salespeople from Ledao claim that under the BaaS battery leasing plan, the price of the new car might be around 150,000 yuan.

This is quite outrageous, isn't it? It could directly compete with the Xiaopeng MONA M03, and even the sidelined Model Y is starting to sweat...

Of course, this is just the salespeople's side of the story, and the specifics will only be known after the new car hits the market.

Leaving aside the details of the product, the most attractive feature of the Ledao L60 is actually its support for battery swapping. In the current era where battery life is roughly equal to the life of the entire vehicle, NIO and Ledao have addressed the pain point of battery life, and by covering the battery swap stations nationwide, they have built a rather high barrier for user experience.

No wonder some NIO car owners say that battery swapping is an experience that is "hard to go back from once used." As for the price of the Ledao L60, why don't we all take a guess? What do you think is a suitable starting price?
