However, from the price point of view, in fact, the positioning of several cars are different, the ideal MEGA is more focused on the family, the price is also slightly higher. Xiaopeng X9 is also mainly focused on families, with a more personalised look. Polar Krypton 009, on the other hand, is biased towards business, but its spatial layout does not have so many categories. Overall, the L380 still creates a new market segment. Editor's Comment.

　　For most consumers, the LEVC (London Electric Vehicle) brand is still a bit strange, which is Geely's automobile brand focusing on creating British-style high-end business travelling cars, and its predecessor is LTC (London Taxi Company), a well-known British taxi company with a history dating back to 1908. As an MPV for the mid-to-high-end market, the highlight of the LEVC L380 is that it is available in a variety of seating layouts, with the 3-seater version catering for business receptions, the 6-seater version equipped with individual seats for everyone, allowing the family to travel long distances in comfort, and the 8-seater version available for more family members. This car can adapt to different consumers' needs, and has strong market competitiveness in the increasingly volatile new energy MPV market.
