智通财经记者 | 周姝祺 理想汽车公司创始人李想正在尝试一件比造车复杂度更高的事情：把已经成立10年的理想汽车拓展为一 家具身智能企业。而这一战略转变发生在公司增长动能减弱之际。 李想在社交平台上重新变得活跃，频繁讨论对具身智能发展的思考，并为即将在第二季度上市的新一代 理想L9造势。这款车型被赋予了超出传统产品迭代的意义，被视为承载理想汽车具身智能理念的首款 核心载体。去年年底，理想汽车还发布了首款AI眼镜 Livis。人形机器人也在规划之中。 理想汽车正在押注人工智能成为下一阶段汽车产业竞争的核心变量。在汽车产品逐渐陷入参数堆叠和同 质化竞争的背景下，这家成立11年的造车新势力想要借助人工智能技术重新建立差异化优势；另一方 面，理想汽车也希望通过强化人工智能叙事提振资本市场信心，为即将到来的更激烈竞争储备资金。 过去一年，这家以家庭SUV闻名的公司交付表现低于市场预期，2025全年销量同比下滑19.6%至40.59万 辆；第三季度受MEGA召回事件影响，连续11季度盈利记录被终结。随着华为体系品牌、小米等诸多企 业挤入中大型SUV赛道，理想汽车所依仗的细分市场迅速拥挤，它不再是新势力阵营中最耀眼的增长样 ...
