With the deepening of the transformation of electrification and intelligence and the increasing maturity of the domestic market, the MPV market, which was once an "unpopular" track, is rushing to pour into various players, and even Li Auto does not hesitate to change the range extension mode in the past and enter the MPV market in the form of pure electric vehicles. On the first day of March, Ideal Mega, its first pure electric model and the first MPV model, was officially launched. Five days later, on March 6, another MPV, the 2024 Denza D9, was also launched, and the interval between the launch dates was so short that it was easy to compare the two cars together.
Although the old Denza D9 is already very popular, in the face of the ideal of knowing the most traffic, some people have sweated for Denza before, but after watching the press conference, they said that there is no need to panic at all, and what should really be panicked is the ideal MEGA.
**Sincerity Don't play false
With the old Denza D9 "Jewel in front", more users are first concerned about how to do it. The 2024 DENZA D9 is still the same as the previous generation, and is divided into a DM-i super hybrid version and an EV pure electric version. The official guide price of the hybrid version is 33980,000 yuan-44980,000 yuan, the price range of the 7-seater model is 33 for a limited time180,000-44180,000 yuan, the official guide price of the pure electric version is 37980,000 yuan-46980,000 yuan, of which the time-limited price of the hybrid version is 4,000 yuan cheaper than the old model, and the discount of the pure electric version is greater, and the starting price is reduced by 240,000 yuan.
At the same time, the official also launched a deposit of 2,000 yuan to deduct the final payment of 10,000 yuan for the vehicle, 6 years or 7 times of free basic maintenance, up to 30,000 yuan replacement subsidy, up to 10,000 yuan additional purchase subsidy, time-limited financial discounts, three years of VIP service, four major car protection, five exclusive Zhilian and other listing rights. For old users, it has also launched a 30,000 yuan replacement subsidy, VIP service rights transfer, 10,000 yuan additional purchase subsidy, 2,000 yuan extended warranty subsidy, 4,000 yuan quantum paint protection film subsidy and other thanksgiving feedback.
On the other hand, the ideal mega**, the price is 55980,000 yuan, which is the most expensive car of Li Auto at present, which is 220,000 yuan higher than the Denza D9. It is worth mentioning that the rumor that the listing price of the ideal MEGA has attracted a lot of controversy, and many users have switched to the 24 Denza D9. In addition, the Ideal MEGA series only provides one configuration, while the DENZA D9 has a variety of configurations to choose from to meet the diversified needs of consumers.
In addition to "crushing" the ideal MEGA on **, the editors of "Caiquan Club & Daoge Talking Car" noticed that the 2024 Denza D9 is 20,000 yuan cheaper than another MPV Xpeng X9 launched this year, which shows the sincerity of Denza D9.
Evolution of Kings is completely renewed
Compared with the unfavorable start of the ideal MEGA, the DENZA D9 became a disruptor as soon as it appeared, and in just a few months, it first squeezed out the "price increase" Toyota Sena, and then hit the mid-to-high-end MPV market ruler - Buick GL8 head-on with sales. In 2023, the DENZA D9 "Hao" will be the sales champion of the entire MPV market and the sales champion of pure electric MPVs of 300,000-500,000 yuan, and the hybrid and EV dual market segments will be the sales champion, completely rewriting the MPV market pattern. The DENZA D9 has also become the only Chinese model to topped the annual MPV sales crown in the past 20 years, which not only breaks the domination of traditional MPV models for more than 20 years, but also makes the refreshed DENZA Auto the fastest new energy high-end luxury brand to reach 100,000 units. In addition to the volume and price, the average transaction price of the DENZA D9 exceeds 420,000 yuan, which means that the best-selling version of the DENZA D9 is mostly high-end, and the users it attracts also have a higher amount of "money".
In 2024, DENZA D9 will evolve as the king of MPV, with a comprehensive refresh in terms of design, ride, driving, intelligence, and safety.
Specifically, in terms of appearance, the 2024 DENZA D9 adopts the mainstream design of -Motion potential aesthetics, which combines the luxury executive of commercial use and the sensual elegance of domestic use. It's also the appearance, and the ideal mega has been talking a lot lately.
In terms of interior, the 2024 DENZA D9 adds a two-tone combination of Yunfeng Brown, Kuandami and Gilder Brown, while the air conditioning vents add bright trim strips, and metal pedals are added to the four doors and rear tailgate, and the luxury details are just right.
In terms of space, the 2024 DENZA D9 has a "2+2+3" layout to build a large and undifferentiated 7-seat driving space, the second-row seats use 1080mm ultra-long electric slide rails, the seat cushion is 53cm long, 56cm wide, and 38cm high, and the integrated leg rest can be adjusted up by 110 degrees, so that you can enjoy the best ergonomic state when you sit down, the luxury comfort is comparable to that of the first class of the aircraft, and the high-speed rail is comprehensively crushed, and the space of the three rows far exceeds the second row of the mainstream luxury 5-seat SUV, and the seats support forward and backward movement. This results in more flexible trunk space.
With a full seat of 7 people, the trunk of the 2024 DENZA D9 can still fit 7 20-inch suitcases and 7 backpacks, which can easily meet the needs of families and business. It can be seen that compared with the rhetoric that the second and third rows of the ideal MEGA surpass and accommodate the whole family's luggage for two weeks, the DENZA D9 is more specific and vivid in the expression of space, and the space performance is not lost at all.
On the "sofa, refrigerator, air conditioner, and large color TV" that Li Auto is proud of, the 2024 Denza D9 cannot be weak. To this end, the DENZA D9 has added 75L intelligent heating and cooling refrigerator, front electric suction door, middle row small table, middle row seat physical buttons and many other standard configurations. Among them, the refrigerator supports -6 50 adjustable cooling and heating, and has rich functions such as electric telescoping and 12-hour delayed power failure. In terms of driving configuration, the 2024 DENZA D9 is fully upgraded with a leather steering wheel, supplemented by practical features such as heated steering wheel, physical steering wheel buttons, and internal rearview mirrors, bringing the driving experience to a new level.
In addition, the DENZA LINK ultra-intelligent interactive cockpit has evolved into a 9-screen interconnection, full-scene intelligent voice millisecond-level response, and millions of apps for users to do as they like**; The new car is also equipped with the DENZA PILOT L2+ intelligent driving assistance system, which has functions such as lane navigation and remote parking, so that driving can be effortless and worry-free.
After making up for the shortcomings, the 2024 DENZA D9 has far more advantages than the ideal MEGA in terms of endurance and handling. Different from the ideal MEGA only pure electric road, **DENZA D9 provides dual power options, both EV pure electric and its own ace DM-i super hybrid, the hybrid version has a comprehensive range of up to 1050km, and there is no mileage anxiety for long-distance driving.
In terms of chassis, the 2024 DENZA D9 is equipped with the Yunnan-C intelligent damping body control system, which adjusts the damping by controlling the shock absorber solenoid valve, and automatically matches different damping in different road conditions to achieve stepless adaptive adjustment of damping. Compared with the traditional passive suspension, the Yunlin-C has achieved a "qualitative" improvement in driving comfort, which breaks the limitation of the single adjustment of the traditional passive suspension while satisfying the ultimate comfort, and perfectly balances the vehicle handling and comfort performance.
It is worth mentioning that DENZA D9 has achieved the perfection of safety to the point of perfection, creating a unique pyramid vehicle safety architecture, with body safety as the base, information security as the waist of the tower, and environmental security as the spire, to protect the safety of users in all dimensions.
In Denza's view, the five-star safety standard body, the A-pillar is the life-saving Optimus Prime in the event of an accident, therefore, the DENZA D9 combines 9 airbags, the longest side curtain in the same class, the middle row side airbags and the world's unique sliding door slit technology to achieve a higher standard of vehicle safety performance. In addition, the 2024 DENZA D9 has a buffer space of 815mm in the third row, which can effectively protect the safety of the vehicle system and rear occupants, while the small battery is placed in the middle of the chassis to ensure that there is power to open the door to the greatest extent in the event of a collision, leaving a life channel.
On top of safety, there is also security. The 2024 DENZA D9 also achieves the ultimate in information security, with the in-car camera being physically turned off, and the privacy data desensitized and localized storage, so that there is no need to worry about privacy security for both home and commercial use. In terms of environmental safety, we are also strict in the selection of materials and healthy materials, so as to build a green interior space for every user.
It can be seen that the emphasis on the A-pillar, the opening of the car door with electricity, and the emphasis on privacy data make the Denza D9 clear about the blind spots of new energy vehicle accidents and crises in the past year.
Under the condition that it is 220,000 cheaper than you, and the strength in all aspects is not inferior or even surpassing, consumers should have the answer to whether they choose the well-known Denza D9 or the controversial ideal MEGA.
