Is M8 coming？ Equipped with 800V, Turing chassis, or starting from 350,000, the ideal L8 pressure mountain.

The sales target of Wenjie Automobile in 2024 is 600,000 vehicles. To achieve this goal, the average monthly sales volume should reach more than 50,000 vehicles. According to the sales volume of the main models, such as the M5 and M7, and the newly listed M9, there is still a certain distance from the monthly sales of 50,000 vehicles. There is an urgent need for a medium-sized and large SUV to take on the heavy responsibility, and the previously exposed M8 came at the right time.

Not long ago, a set of road test spy photos of the M8 was released on the Internet. However, considering all aspects of information, it is very likely that this set of spy photos is an early M9 test vehicle rather than a real M8 vehicle. Pay attention to the fact that the air intake grille on the front of the spy photos has a cooling hole, which is specially designed for the heat dissipation of the range extender. Later, when the M9 went on the market, we also saw that it was consistent with the pure electric version in appearance, and all of them were changed to lower air intake.

According to online news, it is very likely that the M8 will be listed in mid-2024, with a body size closer to that of M9 and larger than that of M7. The price of the new car is predicted to start at 350,000 yuan, which will be a product in the same price range as the ideal L8. Ideal L8 sold 15,000 vehicles a month at the peak of sales last year. What did M8 do to deal with it?

First of all, in terms of configuration, the M8 is hard enough: it is equipped with 800V high-voltage battery pack, laser radar, smart lighting, AR-HUD head-up display, Turing chassis, etc., and it is possible to provide 5-seat, 6-seat or 7-seat models.

Chassis and performance are the killer of M8. It is reported that apart from the intelligent chassis of Huawei Turing, the M8 will also be equipped with its 800-volt high-voltage power system of the giant whale. The combination of these two innovative technologies will greatly improve the driving performance and charging efficiency.

After Huawei’s ADS 2.0 system is superimposed, the IP M8 can also be intelligently and adaptively adjusted by sensing hardware, including air suspension and CDC variable damping shock absorber. At that time, the performance of IP M8 in chassis handling and comfort will be even better.

On the level of intelligent driving, Huawei ADS 2.0 intelligent driving system can reach L3 level in the future, but on the M8, the hardware configuration is believed to be not too bad. The 192-line laser radar (1), millimeter-wave radar (3), door-opening anti-collision millimeter-wave radar (4), ultrasonic radar (12) and high-definition camera (11) will not fall down, and the fusion sensing BEV will identify all kinds of abnormal obstacles. Without the support of high-precision map, NCA of most urban roads can still be covered.

In terms of endurance performance, the new car is equipped with a "Whale" 800V high-voltage battery pack, which reduces the wiring harness by 80% and the thickness by 16.4%, and can charge 150 kilometers in 5 minutes. According to the M9, the extended-range version has a battery life of over 1,400 kilometers (over 200 kilometers for pure electric vehicles), and the pure electric version can also reach 630 kilometers. It is expected that the battery life performance of the M8 will not be too different.

N comments:On March 22nd, HarmonyOS Zhixing announced that 86 days after the listing of the M9, it will definitely exceed 60,000 sets. According to the current information analysis, the configuration, intelligence level, chassis, performance and hardware performance of Wenjie M8 are quite interesting. Thanks to the advantages of backwardness, its comprehensive product strength is likely to exceed the ideal L8. The remaining key is the price. At present, the ideal L8 has a discount at the terminal, and the future transaction price is likely to exceed the range of 300,000 yuan. How much does M8 sell, or it will become a key factor affecting its sales.
