According to Fast Technology on February 26, after showing the front and rear of the car yesterday, Ideal Auto finally released the official front and side photos of its first pure electric SUV model i8. At this point, the appearance of the car has been fully displayed.
It can be seen that the i8 has a very smooth shape and adopts a floating roof design. Since it does not need an engine, the front of the car can be compressed as much as possible, leaving the maximum space for the passenger compartment.
Unlike traditional SUVs, the i8 is shorter and has a distinct sloping roof. This is because pure electric vehicles must consider wind resistance, minimize energy consumption, and improve battery life.

It is worth mentioning that in the official picture, Ideal also released a comparison picture of Tesla Model X. The reason for this is that Li Xiang himself once said that Ideal i8 is the travel version of Model X. So after comparing the two cars, do you think it makes sense?


In other aspects, the design of the i8 actually combines multiple elements of Ideal L-series SUV and the first pure electric vehicle MEGA. The overall combination is quite distinctive. Although the rear styling has been compromised compared to the previously exposed spy photos, it will undoubtedly be more in line with the public’s aesthetic needs.


The i8 is positioned as a three-row pure electric SUV for home use. In terms of size, it is larger than the Tesla Model X. It is estimated to be 5 meters long. It comes standard with a 5C ultra-fast charging battery, and is equipped with Ideal’s self-developed electronic control and motor. It should have a more outstanding performance in terms of energy consumption.
