When it comes to the joint venture cars most recognized by domestic consumers, I believe that the first to bear the brunt is the Volkswagen brand, after all, it can be seen from the sales volume, in recent years, FAW-Volkswagen and SAIC Volkswagen's sales in China have been far ahead.
For Volkswagen brand models, not only economical and fuel-efficient, but also durable, even taxis running on the street like to choose the Volkswagen brand. At present, although domestic cars have developed by leaps and bounds, it has to be admitted that in terms of strength, it is still difficult to compete with Volkswagen.
Of course, everything is not static, for example, in recent years, the development of the automobile market is changing. After all, oil is a non-renewable resource, and the carbon dioxide produced will pose a serious threat to the ecological environment. Nowadays, under the trend of energy conservation and emission reduction in the world, pure fuel models will become less and less.
In the past 2021, the total sales of domestic new energy models reached 3.521 million units, ranking first in the world for seven consecutive years, with a market share of 13.4%. Obviously, the next step will become the world of new energy. After analysis, it will be found that although the Volkswagen brand now has the leading sales, it is still dominated by traditional fuel vehicles, even if a number of plug-in hybrid and pure electric versions of the model have been launched, but there are few in terms of sales.
At present, the Volkswagen brand in the field of new energy, only the ID series of models have a certain sales volume, and for the new energy Ofer Bora, Langyi or Passat and other models, the performance is not ideal, and even for the electric version of the Golf, in some months last year, are single-digit sales, the worst month only sold 1. In this way, the achievements of the Volkswagen brand in the field of new energy are not optimistic.
In fact, in recent years, domestic vehicles in the field of new energy, can be said to have made brilliant achievements, for example, BYD brand sold 730093 vehicles throughout the year, up 75.4% year-on-year, while its new energy passenger cars, annual sales increased by 231.6% year-on-year, up to 593745 units.
In fact, in china, there are more detailed points in the field of new energy, in addition to plug-in hybrid pure and pure electric vehicles, some brands have also launched new energy models with extended ranges, and have achieved good results.
For example, the Lantu brand, as a high-end electric brand built by Dongfeng Company of the central enterprise car-making national team, it not only adopts the innovative integration development model of "mature car companies + new car-making forces", but also carries the upward mission of Chinese automobile brands, which is in line with the development of the mainland's "double carbon" strategy, and can also drive China's economic growth, which is one of the core industries of future human travel solutions.
It also "boarded" the Spring Festival Gala, its Lantu FREE extended range version of the model and Jingdong, through the CCTV Spring Festival Gala shake link, to the people of the country "sent" 45 luxury cars, to the winners to provide free 2 years of use rights, while there is also a pet powder package, including 2 years of insurance costs, maintenance costs and charging costs. While congratulating the 45 lucky ones, I really want to say: it is good to be a Chinese! Hopefully, there will be such an event next year.
Of course, to be able to "board" the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, in addition to the brand hard, for the Lantu FREE model itself, what is its strength? Let's make a specific introduction.
First of all, for the range extender pure electric vehicle, it is different from pure fuel, plug-in hybrid and pure electric vehicle models, although there is an engine in the car, it will not directly drive the vehicle, but rely on it to generate electricity, and then drive the vehicle through the motor. In addition, it can also charge the battery pack directly through an external power supply. In my opinion, its advantages are as follows:
First, structural advantages
Because the engine it is equipped with does not directly drive the vehicle, it does not need to be equipped with a gearbox compared to traditional models, which saves costs and reduces the failure rate of vehicles.
Second, the cost of car maintenance is low
If it is driven in a short distance in the city, it can use pure electric mode without starting the engine, just like a pure electric vehicle, which is more economical than a fuel vehicle.
Third, flexible supply, worry-free battery life
For the extended range version of the new energy model, it can be said to be an effective combination, the advantages of fuel vehicles and pure electric vehicles, not only truly achieve low fuel consumption, and even if it is a long-distance drive, users can replenish according to the actual situation, encounter charging piles, can be charged, no charging pile can also be directly refueled. Truly achieve flexible supply, life worry-free. Therefore, there is no such thing as endurance anxiety.
For the extended range version of the Lantu FREE, in addition to the above advantages, it is also equipped with front and rear dual motors, not only a four-wheel drive version, but also equipped with an adjustable suspension, for height and soft and hard, can be artificially set. In this way, it is possible to commute both in the city and poetry and far away.
Powerly, under the blessing of the dual motors, the maximum power can output 694 horsepower, and the peak torque is as high as 1040N·m, so that it has the acceleration performance of the first electric in the same level and the fourth in the world, and the acceleration of 0 to 100km, which takes only 4.5 seconds to complete, and the whole process is completed in one go.
Of course, as a medium-sized luxury SUV, the Landu FREE Extended Range Edition not only has a length of 4905mm, but also has a shaft spacing of 2960mm, such an excellent size, only 2 rows of seats are arranged in the car, it is not difficult to imagine how spacious its space is.
Sitting in the cockpit, you will find that it adopts a three-three-in-three design, in addition to the conventional full LCD instrument, as well as the central control screen, but also for the co-driver to set up a "queen screen", not only a strong atmosphere of science and technology, but also domineering. In addition, it is equipped with 20 intelligent driver assistance systems as standard, including L2-level assisted driving functions, making travel safer and more assured.
As a relatively new new energy model, Landu FREE is also rising in sales and has repeatedly reached new highs. Since the start of deliveries in August last year, it has risen for five consecutive months, with a cumulative annual delivery of 6791 units. For a domestic car with a price of more than 30W, it is indeed valuable.
Nowadays, in the environment of energy conservation and emission reduction, the development of the automotive industry is undergoing irreversible changes, new energy has become a trend, Dongfeng founded the Lantu brand to take advantage of the momentum, has a good start, in the development of the domestic economy at the same time, but also for human environmental protection travel to provide effective solutions, can be described as killing two birds with one stone, I believe there will be better prospects in the future. But at present, the Volkswagen brand seems to be stepping up its efforts in the field of new energy! What do you think?
