L-Shaped Chaise Lounge: The passenger seat, with its patented hinge mechanism, folds completely flat 180 degrees, connecting to the rear seats to create a 2-meter-long "zero-gravity" rest area. The rear center armrest features a 6.92-inch multi-function touchscreen with three-zone independent control for climate control, entertainment system, and seat adjustment.
1.5-meter Single Bed: The right rear seat features an electrically retractable structure and a uniquely developed leg rest module, which raises to create an ergonomically designed, independent rest area (measured load capacity). Up to 150kg), a first for vehicles in its price range.
2.4m double bed: Based on an engineering solution featuring fully foldable seats and a sunken trunk, the rear seats fold to create a spacious 1860L space, perfect for camping with a dedicated air mattress.
Storage bonus: All models come standard with a 50L onboard refrigerator with semiconductor temperature control technology (adjustable from -6°C to 50°C) and an aircraft-grade magnesium-aluminum alloy folding tray table (maximum load capacity 15kg).

Innovative Paint Technology: A new custom "Wizard of Wonders Green" paint finish is now available. Utilizing the same BASF Chameleon coating technology used by Porsche, it creates a gradient effect from green to blue to purple depending on the lighting angle. It has passed a 3,000-hour xenon lamp aging test and is guaranteed to last 12 years without fading.
User-Friendly Features: All models come standard with rear dark-tinted privacy glass (99% UV blockage) and exterior mirrors that automatically tilt down when reversing (with three memory settings).
Healthy Cabin: The seat surfaces are made of the same silicone composite material used in baby pacifiers. Tested and certified by the China Automotive Technology and Research Center, its formaldehyde content is only 1/10 of the national standard limit (0.01 mg/m³).
The standard L2+ Intelligent Driving Assistance System includes 20 features, including full-speed ACC, lane keeping, and automatic parking. High-speed No-Analog Navigation Assist allows for automatic lane changes and ramps.
The sensor hardware configuration includes five millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, and 15 high-definition cameras, supporting obstacle recognition within 100 meters. The memory parking function can store 20 parking space settings.
A hardware interface is reserved for the City Pilot function, which is planned to enable automatic vehicle following and traffic light recognition in urban areas via an over-the-air (OTA) upgrade in Q2 2024.
This model targets the mid-to-large SUV market with a price range of RMB 150,000 to 170,000, and its features are comparable to luxury models in the RMB 300,000 price range. Compared to its main competitor, the Ideal L8 five-seater, this model offers three key differentiated advantages:
Pricing: The entry-level price is lower than the six-seater model (starting at RMB 173,600), and the extended-range version's purchase tax exemption saves approximately RMB 15,000.
Scenario Innovation: Its unique three-bed configuration, combined with a 220V/3.3kW external discharge function (which supports simultaneous operation of induction cooktops, projectors, and other devices), precisely meets the diverse needs of family users, including camping and road trips.
Intelligent Generational Difference: The combination of the next-generation 8295 chip and dual AI systems offers a significant advantage over traditional gasoline-powered competitors (such as the Highlander) in voice interaction and multi-screen linkage.
