Usually friends chat about cars, there will always be people because of whether to choose a fuel car or a pure electric car and have an argument, which can be basically divided into two factions, one side is pure electric faction, the other is fuel faction. Pure electric pie will often feel that fuel vehicle oil is expensive, not smart enough, not environmentally friendly enough, not the future trend, so the current does not consider; and the fuel faction will think that the current pure electric vehicle is not mature enough, battery cut is too serious, charging trouble and other issues will not be considered. In the end, everyone will still unanimously conclude that the extended range version or the hybrid version is the most suitable model for the current car needs.
In fact, in addition to pure electric vehicle products in the industry, plug-in hybrid models and extended range models are indeed more popular models at present, such as BYD's DM-i super hybrid, ideal one, and of course, the new energy "national team" Lantu FREE. In December last year, the delivery volume of Lantu FREE reached 3330 units, becoming the fastest new brand to achieve more than 3,000 deliveries of electric vehicles in a single month, and in January this year, Lantu Automobile announced that the 10,000th Lantu FREE was officially rolled off the production line, once again interpreting the speed of the new brand of central enterprises.
As the only electric SUV in the industry that currently uses pure electric and extended range electric dual-power layout, the hot sales of Lantu FREE are not accidental, recently we test-drove this legendary Lantu FREE extended range version in Guangzhou, and also deeply felt the strong comprehensive ability of this model, and then the car detective will talk about a little feeling of this test drive FREE extended range version.
The route of our test drive is from Guangzhou Panyu Lantu Delivery Center to from Fossil Gate Forest Park, more than 100 kilometers one way, covering a variety of road conditions such as urban village roads, highways, urban roads, mountain roads, etc. on the way, so the basic daily car environment we have also experienced, after nearly a day's test drive, Lantu FREE extended range version is the most impressive is its dynamic performance.
Our test drive of the Lantu FREE range extended range version is equipped with dual motors in front and rear, with a combined maximum power of 510 kW and a peak torque of 1040 N·m, and a medium and large SUV that only needs 4.5 s to accelerate 100 km/h. If we adjust the driving mode to high-energy mode, the floor oil goes down, the acceleration of the torque brought by the instantaneous burst of torque of the vehicle will even make people feel a little unbearable, the violent push back feeling is suffocating, even in the state of high-speed more than 100 km / s, the vehicle still has a clear sense of acceleration after stepping on the throttle, the power reserve in the second half is very sufficient, in the same level of models, the power performance of the Landu FREE extended range version is difficult to meet the opponent.
The real all-rounder is not only fast acceleration, but most importantly, it can also achieve "stability". Our test drive of the Lantu FREE extended range version is equipped with a rare air suspension and intelligent four-wheel drive system of the same level, in which the air suspension can be adjusted by 100mm adaptive height and height. When we get on the car, the air suspension will automatically be adjusted to the lowest state, showing a welcome posture, making it more convenient for us to get on and off the car, creating a sense of honor and ceremony; when we adjust the driving mode to high-energy mode, the air suspension will also drop to the lowest state, making the vehicle more suitable for intense driving; when we adjust the driving mode to the outing mode, the air suspension will rise to the highest state, used to prepare for various off-road and other complex road conditions.
In short, this air suspension system is not only intelligent, the actual experience process is also very satisfactory, the air suspension allows the vehicle to show a strong integrity in the dynamic process, potholes and other bumpy road vibrations can be well filtered out, but the sense of road is still very clear, the vehicle through the curve even when the sharp bend, the air suspension can still bring good support.
Since it is an extended range model, in addition to power, endurance is of course the focus of everyone's attention. The official NEDC comprehensive endurance of the LANDU FREE extended range version we test drove is 860km. When we test drove on the same day, the vehicle was in a fully charged state, and the available mileage of pure electricity displayed on the dashboard was 155KM, and the remaining driving mileage of fuel was 190km. Because the test drive has driven two winding roads, and the highway is mostly, so the use of high-energy mode time is also more, and finally back to the destination fuel has been used up, but the battery still has 30 kilometers of usable endurance, the summary mileage is about 300km.
In the actual driving process of this range extension system, if we use the economic mode, the vehicle will mainly rely on pure electricity and engine drive to drive, with pure electricity at the start, with the engine + pure electricity when accelerating; if in the high-energy mode, the vehicle will be driven by the engine, supplemented by electric energy.
However, unlike other hybrid models, the Landu FREE extended range version is still normal in the power performance of the whole vehicle when feeding, and the range extender also intervenes at this time to maintain good power performance, even if there is no power, the power of the vehicle is still abundant. In the energy-saving mode, the battery redundancy of the LANTU FREE Range Extended Edition can still provide a higher power output for the vehicle. So this range extender system is not only efficient, but also very intelligent.
More importantly, the LANTU FREE range extender version can also support DC fast charging, 220V vehicle slow charging, 11kW home charging pile and gasoline these 4 kinds of charging modes, oilable and electric, no charging pile when we can refuel, at night at home can be charged, neither mileage anxiety, nor worry about oil prices are too expensive, very worry-free.
In addition to the dynamic performance, lantu FREE extended range version of the configuration is also quite powerful, into the car into the first eye is the liftable integrated Dalian screen, after the car is powered on, the Dalian screen will automatically rise, if the driving mode is adjusted to high-energy mode, the Dalian screen will automatically fall, showing the combat posture, giving people a full sense of ceremony, of course, if you want to automatically adjust the lifting and lowering of the Dalian screen, you can also use the left button of the gear lever to achieve.
At the same time as having a highly technological sense of integrated Dalian screen, lantu FREE extended range version of the car is also equipped with several different intelligent cockpit modes, such as in the welcome mode, the vehicle headlights will automatically light up, the door handle will automatically pop out, the suspension will automatically decrease, when the driver enters the car, the face recognition system in the car will adjust the seat to the driver's exclusive sitting position, etc.; for example, in the child care mode, the camera in the car will automatically recognize the child, so as to automatically control the child lock, the volume of the entertainment system, Interior temperature, etc., these configurations are not only intelligent, but also reflect the temperature of the industry.
In addition, the Landu FREE Extended Range Edition is also equipped with APA automatic parking system, 360 ° panoramic image, transparent chassis, mobile phone wireless charging, and NVS night vision driving system is also unique to the same level. In terms of driving assistance system, Lantu FREE is equipped with L2 level intelligent driving assistance system as standard, which contains 20 intelligent driving assistance functions, all of which can be adjusted according to their personal habits in the central control screen, and the overall is still very rich.
However, here we need to mention a small suggestion is that when we open ACC adaptive cruise, the vehicle is best to open the lane keeping function by default, or give a lane keeping entity button, the current vehicle is no lane keeping entity button, we need to go to the central control screen to set, to know that most people use ACC or lane keeping function, the highway section is the majority, at this time to operate in the central control screen is not very convenient, nor safe.
In terms of comfort, the Lantu FREE Extended Range Edition is also equipped with seat heating/ventilation/massage, Tanner high-end audio, full-color gamut sound mood light, UV isolation rate of ≥ 99% of the dimmable panoramic canopy. And the materials in the car are also very exquisite, according to the staff of Lantu Automobile, although many materials in the car are not used leather materials, but it uses a baby-level skin-friendly certified leather material, which is not only very comfortable to the touch, but also does not have any stimulation to the body, and there is no odor, at present, only Volvo and other car companies in the industry use this material.
Detective Che has something to say
After a day of test drive, the comprehensive performance of the Lando FREE extended range version has made many auto media friends praise, in the current car environment, such a comprehensive performance model as the Lando FREE extended range version is indeed very suitable. Oilable and electric, with control, high configuration, coupled with strong power performance and intelligent air suspension, more than 300,000 can have such a perfect model, or very fragrant.
