2024 Li Auto MEGA

Recently, Li Auto released its first Minivan model: Mega, which is also the brand's first BEV model. It announced that the car will be released in December this year and will be delivered to users in February next year. The rhetoric this time seems to be The sense of structure is a little more restrained than in the past. The manufacturer said that this car will be "the number one car with a sales volume of more than 500,000 yuan ." The editor really can't understand why this "bold statement" was released. I feel like this sentence is also wrong. Just add an attributive symbolically, number one in sales within 500,000? Is China No. 1 or the World No. 1

The appearance of the Ideal Mega is different from the popular Minivan design. The manufacturer describes the appearance of this car as a "high-speed train". Although it is said that the forward visibility and aerodynamics are optimized, this design is very similar to the previous Hyundai Staria, even a little identical. As for the appearance design and the question of "who copied whom", we will leave it to the scope of discussion. Let’s talk about it in the comment section. In addition, the roof of this car is equipped with lidar, which indicates that the car will support more advanced assisted driving functions. However, what the editor is most puzzled about is that among the many battery-powered cars and other motor-driven passenger cars today, don’t they all use their low drag coefficient as a selling point? But I really want to ask, does the raised shape of the radome above the windshield not affect the wind resistance? Can't this radar be stored behind the windshield?

The side body design is relatively flat, and you can see that the arc of the roof extends from the front to the rear. The editor will not discuss aesthetic issues here. But what I want to ask is whether the headroom and rear luggage loading space of the Mega's third row of seats will be squeezed due to the roof design, causing practical problems. As for the interior, the manufacturer has not announced details yet.

In terms of electrification, Mega is built on an 800V high-voltage platform and equipped with CATL’s 5C Kirin ternary lithium battery pack. According to the manufacturer, the platform supports charging for 9 minutes and 30 seconds to increase battery life by 400km, and charging for 22 minutes to increase battery life by 600km. As for other parts (such as motor and battery specifications, etc.), the manufacturer has not released details.
