weilai’s second brand, ledao, has finally made its debut this time.

a few months ago, ledao’s first car, the l60, had a pre-sale price of 219,900 yuan. at that time, i thought the price was quite competitive.

tonight, the official price is announced, with a standard battery life of 60 kwh. 206,900, 85 kwh of long battery life is 235,900。

brother neck took a look and found that the only difference between the two versions is the battery, everything else is the same.

but i suggest you don’t choose either of them, because ledao and nio can both replace batteries, and you can also buy a car using the baas battery rental method, so the price of l60 is directly reduced to 149,900 yuan.

if you place an order now, you will also receive some benefits, including 5-year noa usage rights and 5-year battery rental, pay 4 and get 1 free.

anyway, the editorial department was a little shocked when they saw the price.

this car, brother neck also tried it a few days ago. based on my experience,this may be the most worthwhile car to buy under nio right now.

without further ado, let me first take you through a brief overview of the exterior and interior.

the l60 is a car that is very comparable to the tesla model y.vehicle length 4.83m, wheelbase 2.95m , are only a few centimeters more than model y, and the shape is also made into the same fastback suv as model y.

although the front lighting group has a slight shadow of polestar, i think the overall body lines are well handled and there is nothing abrupt.

comparing with model y from the side, we can find that the l60's fastback is positioned further back. when actually riding in it, there is ample headroom in the rear row, which is basically not affected by the fastback.

the upper picture is l60, and the lower picture is model y

ledao has added back the ac port that was removed from the nio, making old car owners envious.

but in terms of interior, the difference between the l60 and nio cars can be seen. the l60 only has a hud, no instrument, no nomi, and the dashboard is missing a little trick.

in addition, the leather material and texture of the ledao are slightly inferior to the optional leather of nio, but definitely better than the standard fabric of nio. compared with the same level at the price of 200,000, i think it is ok, and it has everything it should have.

the front seats are heated, ventilated, massaged, and have leg rests.

the rear space is the strong point of the l60. you can sit in it and cross your legs without any pressure, and the backrest is electrically adjustable.

there is an easy fix magnetic interface on the front seat back, which can be used to hang a tablet.

the seats themselves are quite comfortable. ledao says that they use materials with special temperature control technology, so that the seats will not be so hot after the car is exposed to the sun. official data shows that the temperature difference can reach more than 23°c compared to materials without temperature control technology.

but the main problem with the heat inside the car is that the glass blocks ultraviolet rays but not heat, and there is no sunshade, so when i was driving, my body was fine but my head was still a little hot.

judging from the hardware configuration, ledao is obviously more economical than nio, and the official live broadcast room has always emphasized that this car is for families, so the idea is to "spend where necessary and save where necessary."

but in terms of software, l60, as the first car of nio's third-generation platform nt3.0, has many new technologies.

let’s talk about this car computer first. i think it is better to use than the one used by nio.

in the past, all nio cars had vertical screens, so you couldn’t watch a movie in full screen. now ledao has switched to the mainstream horizontal screen, and the ui has been rearranged.

its interface layout is a bit like tesla's, with car controls on the left, speed in the upper left corner, and maps and menus on the right. with the 8295p chip, there is no problem with fluency and user experience.

one detail that received a positive review is that the trunk switch is designed to be opened by long pressing, so you have to press it lightly to open it, which can avoid accidental touch.

another new feature of ledao l60 is that it integrates the computing power of intelligent driving, intelligent cabin, vehicle control and vehicle connection. originally, these four parts of the car were managed by their own chips and had separate computing power. after integration, computing power can be shared and utilization rate is high.

it may also be because of this integration that ledao l60 urban noa can be achieved with just one nvidia orin x chip.you should know that nio models use 4 orin x chips to have this function.

in addition, ledao also removed the laser radar. i originally thought that its pure visual intelligent driving would be a level lower than that of weilai, but in actual experience, i didn't feel there was a significant difference.

we tried a short stretch of noa highway and the intelligent driving performed quite stably without any major problems.

as for its urban noa, it can handle most simple roads, but when there are many cars, the following distance is a bit long, and sometimes the cornering speed is too fast, which makes me feel uneasy in complex road conditions.

considering that they didn't make empty promises, i think the performance is still pretty good compared with the same level competitors.

however, its noa is a subscription system. if you want full-scenario noa, it costs 640 yuan/month. of course, it is free for 5 years now, and maybe it will be free later.

it is worth mentioning thatledao l60 has a strong power consumption.

the official claimed power consumption level is 12.1kwh/100km, which is lower than model y's 12.5.

one important reason is that the weight of the l60 is well controlled, only 1885kg, which is lighter than the 1911kg of the model y. you know, even nio’s smallest sedan, the et5, weighs 2.1 tons.

we took a single-motor version and drove it for 58 km. the comprehensive power consumption was12kWh/100km to be honest, this level is really worth bragging about.

during this drive, one can clearly feel that the l60's chassis is tuned for comfort.

in terms of chassis configuration, the l60 is a front mcpherson + rear five-link, with fsd variable damping as standard. the chassis is overall soft, and the steering is also soft, which is much more comfortable than the model y. even when it is adjusted to sports mode, it does not feel very sporty.

but at the same time, the car is not too shaky, and there is basically no aftershock. however, when passing through some bumpy roads, the shock absorption lacks the high-end feeling of the nio car, but it still makes people feel that you get what you pay for.

well, that’s about the basic information about this car.

if you only look at these, l60 is not that attractive. but don't forget, it is from weilai, andnio’s biggest advantage is its battery swap service.

if you drive in first- and second-tier cities and have a charging pile at home, then battery swapping is not very attractive. but if you often drive on highways, or always charge outside without a charging pile at home, then battery swapping is definitely a great temptation, and you don’t have to worry about battery degradation.

the launch of l60 has lowered the threshold of nio's battery-swap models by nearly 100,000 yuan.

however, ledao l60 can only use the new generation of battery swap stations. at the press conference, it was said that it can currently only use 304 stations, which is indeed not a lot.

moreover, nio has signed many battery swap station cooperation agreements with various car companies before. it is not known whether ledao will have to share battery swap stations with other brands in the future.

but the official also said that by the end of this year, there will be more than 1,000 available battery swap stations in ledao. according to nio's previous actions as an infrastructure maniac, this goal is not too difficult to achieve.

by that time, a family suv that costs 150,000 yuan and can replace batteries, backed by so many battery replacement stations, may really have a chance to penetrate this market.
