Lantu Automobile, a high-end brand of Dongfeng, launched its first model, Lantu FREE, in the middle of this year, with pure electric and extended range models, and the built-in Huawei's HiCar car machine system is also a major highlight.
A few days ago, the professor learned from the lantu official that lantu FREE ushered in the first vehicle remote upgrade (OTA), the version number is V1.1.0, and the OTA upgrade includes more than 60 functions such as vehicle upgrade, strong perception high frequency, and security upgrade.
At the same time, the official also said that with the sharp increase in production capacity in December and the easing of chip supply problems, it is expected that the production capacity will be broken, and Lantu promised that users who ordered the same day can be delivered before the Spring Festival.
This time, the OTA has added a K song function in the entertainment system, and the co-pilot screen has added a Bluetooth headset connection function, and the media sound of the co-driver screen can be played through the Bluetooth headset, and the use of the secondary screen during driving will not affect the driver.
Quick actions have been added to the main and secondary screens, and common functions can be personalized. In terms of driving, the three modes of fuel priority, pure electric priority and intelligent mode can be switched according to actual needs. In terms of seat comfort, three new seat comfort modes of ventilation, heating and massage have been added, and the brightness and darkness of the sky can be adjusted more conveniently.
In addition, the new version of the system is adjusted for the car page, such as the layout of media applications, the position of the card on the home page of the central control vice screen, etc. At the same time, when querying the nearby charging stations in the map of the car navigation, the free charging stations of the cooperation will be listed first.
Landu FREE is equipped with the HiCar vehicle system cooperated with Huawei, so it is very good in terms of logic, fluency, and scalability. In terms of intelligence, there will be more surprises in the future with continuous OTA upgrades, but the professor cares about whether the degree of vehicle flow can still maintain the initial level after a few years.
The main model of Lantu FREE is a range extender hybrid model, 1.5T turbocharged four-cylinder engine as a range extender, matching the 33kWh ternary lithium battery pack, pure electric endurance of 140 km, comprehensive endurance of 860 km, 0-100 km / h acceleration of 4.5 seconds.
When it comes to range-extended models, everyone will definitely think of the ideal ONE, and indeed it is also the main opponent of Lantu FREE. The two also have many similarities, similar prices, the same triple screen, the biggest advantage of the ideal ONE is to have a 6-seat layout, Lantu FREE is the main big five-seater, in the ride comfort and flexibility is not dominant. But Landu FREE is superior in terms of configuration and luxury.
Lantu FREE's OTA upgrade has improved the functions of the whole vehicle, and the user experience will also be improved to a certain extent. However, as a new challenger in the market, Lantu still needs to slowly improve its brand image, and if there is no particularly prominent product force, it may be difficult to seize the market in the hands of ideal ONE.
