In the past two years, the extender SUV has gradually been welcomed by the Chinese people! Their advantages are obvious: there is no mileage anxiety, they can also enjoy the policy benefits of new energy models, and there is also the thrill of pure electric drive. The "best" in this field is the ideal ONE, which delivered a total of 13,485 new cars in November, which is really two brushes for a 300,000-class domestic car.
Now there are more and more range extended SUV models on the market, of which Lantu FREE and ideal ONE can be described as "evenly matched", the same is a medium and large SUV, are more than 300,000 prices, but FREE's November delivery volume is only 1139 units, almost 10 times the difference! Why? Let's analyze it now!
The dynamic calibration of the two is different
First of all, the user groups faced by the two are very different, lantu FREE focuses on performance, and the ideal ONE is more inclined to long battery life. So even if both cars are equipped with front and rear dual motors, the performance indicators of FREE are much stronger.
Take the 2021 Lantu FREE four-wheel drive extended range version, the maximum power is 510KW, the peak torque is 1040 Nm, the acceleration of 100 kilometers takes only 4.5 seconds, and it also adopts the front double wishbone sequence suspension, air suspension, and P ZERO tires, which can be regarded as the category of performance SUVs. In addition to this time, THE FREE range extender is a 1.5T 4-cylinder machine with excellent overall power generation.
The ideal ONE of 2021 has a maximum power of 245KW, a peak torque of 455 Nm, and a 100-kilometer acceleration of 6.5 seconds, and the overall data is lagging behind a long way. So why is the slower ideal ONE more popular? In fact, performance for a medium and large SUV, this is a false proposition. If I were looking for the ultimate in driving performance, I'd probably choose a car instead of a midsize SUV. As a big car, it is more likely to assume the role of a household travel tool.
In this regard, it is indeed the ideal ONE is more outstanding, it mainly plays the slogan of "new energy vehicles without mileage anxiety", although it adopts a 1.2T three-cylinder range extender, but it can run 1080 kilometers after filling a tank of oil, which is indeed more attractive for many users who do not have fixed charging conditions. The more performance-oriented Lantu FREE can't do that badly, and its endurance is about 860 kilometers.
Landu FERRR is paid high, and the ideal ONE rear row is more comfortable
Ideal ONE compared to The Landu FREE, its body size is larger, and also standard with a 6-seat layout, which ensures the flexibility of the layout at the same time, but also allows each seat in the car to have a spacious seating space, and the ideal ONE second row is still two independent electric seats, but also supports heating massage, more pleasing to family members.
And the ideal ONE second row threshold height is also well controlled, as a medium and large SUV, it can actually make it possible to open the car door and jump up, for some elderly people, parents, children more friendly.
And Lantu FERR is obviously the front row of the treatment is higher, in addition to the driver can enjoy a certain driving pleasure, FERR also has a Danna audio + active noise reduction + rhythm atmosphere lights, the overall audiovisual treatment is much stronger than the ideal ONE, and are the use of triple screen design of the two cars, FERR also added a liftable design, although the practical significance to be discussed, but in the creation of the sense of ceremony, it is really much stronger.
Design differences
In fact, the appearance of this thing is a very subjective thing, so this link will be put at the end to talk. The ideal ONE uses a large number of smooth lines, the overall design is very similar to land rover, squinting to see a simplified version of the range Rover flavor, it looks really imposing, which is one of the reasons why many users like it.
The exterior design of the Landu FERRR is obviously much sharper, a very three-dimensional straight waterfall chrome grille, turbo-like aluminum alloy wheels and a more low body posture, especially the roof and a little sneaky design, the overall obvious is a relatively sporty style.
Of course, the two styles can not say who is strong and who is weak, but as far as the audience users of medium and large SUVs are concerned, their owners are generally 35-40-year-old male users, and the ideal ONE design is still more able to win their likes.
summary
In fact, the ideal ONE is making efforts to please the family everywhere, such as the standard massage function of the four seats, the design of the low platform that is convenient for the elderly to get on and off the car, the larger riding space and longer battery life. The Landu FERRR is more inclined to be a big car that allows drivers to enjoy fun, and its power, handling performance, and luxury equipment are very obvious in this price point.
So the question is, if you have a budget of 300,000 and plan to start a mid-size SUV with a range extender, who will you choose?
