Li Xiang, the CEO of Ideal Auto, took to his personal Weibo account to announce that the Ideal i9 will make its official debut on September 16. He proclaimed that the Ideal i9 is the pinnacle of Ideal Auto's 11-year journey in independent technological development and product innovation, representing a flawless achievement by Ideal and showcasing the company's triumphant surmounting of three significant challenges.

The first challenge lies in the strategy of concurrently developing extended-range and pure electric vehicles. Presently, Ideal's pure electric models are enjoying robust sales, and its supercharging network infrastructure is firmly in place.

The second challenge is the independent development of core technologies and their seamless integration into vehicle models. Over the past three years, Ideal has poured over 10 billion yuan annually into research and development. The four proprietary core technologies—batteries, electric motors, the Mach M100 chip, and the intelligent driving system—are now primed for deployment. The Ideal i9, as the flagship model of the second-generation pure electric platform, will serve as a showcase for these technological advancements.

The third challenge is the unwavering commitment to forging a new paradigm in pure electric products. The Ideal i9 boasts an exceptionally low drag coefficient of 0.215, the lowest among mass-produced SUVs worldwide, while also offering the benefits of spacious interiors and superb handling, akin to a mobile living space.

Li Xiang underscored that Ideal Auto has consistently strived to take the reins of its own destiny and push the boundaries of growth. He extended an invitation to all to tune in to the launch event on September 16.
