It is more important to endure than to become popular.
In recent years, relying on independent research and development, Chinese auto brands have achieved multi-dimensional upgrades, and product quality has gradually been affirmed by users, and with it, the competitive relationship between Chinese brands has become more and more intense. Especially in the new car-making forces represented by the gold content of scientific and technological intelligence, the competition tends to be white-hot.
Among them, Weilai and Xiaopeng focus on the field of pure electricity, and based on the current situation that the construction of charging facilities is not perfect, the extender is the best solution to solve the mileage anxiety. Because it solves the range anxiety at the same time, but also at the time when oil prices are increasingly high, it can balance fuel economy.
In the range extender model, Lantu Automobile's Lantu FREE and ideal ONE of Ideal Car are the leaders in the current market, and more importantly, the price range of the two also completely overlaps, and consumers inevitably have to make a comparison. So, how should the extender version of Lantu FREE and the ideal ONE be chosen?
Ideal ONE
LanTu FREE
Compare the best-selling models in the two car series - The Lando FREE Four-Wheel Drive Extended Range Exclusive Luxury Suite Edition (hereinafter referred to as the Lando FREE) and the Ideal ONE Range 6-seater Version (hereinafter referred to as the Ideal ONE) for comparison.
Who is better at core strengths?
For a car, the core advantage is the power.
As mentioned above, on the surface, both cars use a range extender power mode, but the ideal ONE range extender is a 1.2T three-cylinder engine, and the Landu FREE uses a 1.5T four-cylinder engine, although the three-cylinder engine is enough to use as a range extender, but in the actual experience, the four-cylinder engine has more advantages in the suppression of vibration.
From the power of these two cars, The maximum power of the Landu FREE is 510kW, and the peak torque is 1040N·m; the data of the ideal ONE is relatively unopposed, the two figures are 245kW and 455N·m, and compared with the maximum speed of the two vehicles, the Landu FREE is 200km/h, and the ideal ONE is 172km/h; and the zero hundred acceleration of this data, the Landu FREE is 4.5 seconds, and the ideal ONE is in 6.5 seconds.
Obviously, Landu FREE is better at power, but it is worth mentioning that Landu does not only do kung fu on the surface. For example, in the body structure, the ideal ONE is equipped with a McPherson-style independent suspension, while the Lando FREE is equipped with a double wishbone independent suspension, which makes the Lando FREE adapt to more roads than the ideal ONE; it is worth mentioning that the Lando FREE is also equipped with an air suspension function, which can be adjustable up and down 100mm, what does this mean?
This means that Landu FREE can not only appear in more complex road conditions (before the hotly discussed Chengfopo, Landu FREE is also an easy challenge success), but also means that it brings the air suspension function to the lower price range. Before Lantu FREE, the car with the lowest price with air suspension was the 398,000 yuan Weilai ES6 performance version, and the Lantu FREE extended range version now lowered this threshold to 333,600 yuan, from this point of view, the significance of the Landu FREE is unmatched by other models.
Who is better at smart technology?
For an SUV priced at more than 300,000 yuan, the technology configuration is not only a plus, but also a must-have item, after all, consumers who buy this price point need not only the basic attributes of a car, but also the convenient life brought by the technology configuration.
In terms of scientific and technological sense, Lantu FREE and Ideal ONE also have their own advantages.
From the appearance point of view, the Lantu FREE hidden door handle is indeed more technological than the ideal ONE, and from the screen, the ideal ONE triple screen is indeed more eye-catching, but unlike the ideal ONE triple screen, Landu FREE not only has a double 12.3-inch central control screen, but also has a liftable instrument panel, when the vehicle moves, the instrument panel will automatically rise, and when you adjust the driving mode to high-energy mode, the instrument panel will automatically descend; on the other hand, the night vision function equipped with Landu FREE can allow the driver to clearly see the road conditions about 150 meters ahead even in the night when the line of sight is not so good; and the fatigue driving prompt function can effectively cause accidents caused by driver fatigue; in terms of the pleasure of riding, although both cars can watch movies in the co-pilot However, the Danna audio equipped with Landu FREE can still make life more comfortable compared with the ordinary audio of the ideal ONE.
It is worth mentioning that the panoramic sunroof of The Landu FREE is equipped with 10 levels of adjustable brightness, which is a bit like the suspension window of the aircraft, which is very technological; and compared with the Landu FREE, the ideal ONE puts more effort on comfort, such as the adjustment of the seat, the ideal ONE is still worth affirming, in addition, it is the Landu FREE that is better.
Every long-lasting love depends on quality.
If you talk about brand power, strictly speaking, the two cars do not actually belong to the same category. As the leader of the new forces, ideal is a very new company; and the Lantu brand was actually born later than the ideal, but it is worth mentioning that Lantu has the endorsement of Dongfeng Company, whether in terms of capital or reliability, Lantu FREE with a state-owned enterprise background seems to be more trustworthy.
The part about the appearance itself is a matter of opinion, and it will not be repeated here.
But unlike the exterior, safety is essential for a car.
Safety, who is better?
In terms of body materials, the ideal ONE body uses a variety of steels, including high-strength steel and thermoformed steel, as well as some aluminum alloy materials, of which the strength of more than 1500MPa steel accounted for 13%, the car is also equipped with the standard active braking function; Lantu FREE uses a large number of high-strength steel, A-pillar also uses composite structure thermoforming technology, of which 1500MPa above the thermoforming ratio is 31%, the car is also equipped with active braking function as standard In addition, Landu FREE also uses the world's first TRB+Patch composite structure thermoforming process in the A-pillar.
But for a car, it is obviously not enough to look at the material, and more importantly, when the collision is made, whether it can protect the people inside and outside the car.
According to the test given by C-NCAP, in the complete frontal collision experiment, Landu FREE got a full score, mainly because the front passengers suffered less damage to their chests and the protection of the rear passengers was more in place; and the ideal ONE was about 2% lower than the Landu FREE due to the loss of points in these two parts; the pedestrian protection project mainly tested the protection of the head and legs of pedestrians, and the ideal ONE score was 10.933 points, with a scoring rate of 72.89% Lantu FREE scored 11.263 points, or 75.09%.
But for a car, we don't want these safety protections to end up working because of accidents.
Write at the end:
In general, since the listing of the two cars, they have been sold by each company, and they are two cars with very bright spots in the new forces.
Through our findings, Landu FREE is indeed more prominent in terms of vehicle safety, scientific and technological texture and power system, and at the same time, the terminal price of Lando FREE is lower than that of the ideal ONE, fully highlighting the price advantage.
What choice will you choose between these two cars?
