The extender is the optimal solution at this stage
Extended range electric vehicles are not hybrid models, it is completely driven by electric motors, the engine is only used to generate electricity (when you step on the accelerator, the engine screams is not crazy to drive the wheels, but to generate electricity), but in terms of usage, it is the same as the plug-in mix, it can both refuel and charge.
If you have your own charging pile and can replenish energy every day, then you can completely drive him as an electric car, which will be very cost-saving and worry-free, and there will be no endurance anxiety when you occasionally go out. At this time, the extended range electric vehicle's larger battery and longer pure electric endurance will have more advantages than plug-in hybrid models.
What is the difference compared to the ideal ONE?
1. Range extender
Although the 1.2T power of the ideal ONE is larger than the 1.5T of the Lando FREE, its three-cylinder form has been criticized by many people, believing that it brings obvious noise and vibration when starting power generation. When operating at high loads, its movement is not small.
2. Drive motor
Ideal ONE and Landu FREE both use front and rear axle dual motor four-wheel drive form, the difference is that ideal ONE uses two permanent magnet synchronous motors, and Landu FREE is two AC asynchronous motors. In addition, the total power and total torque of the System of Landu FREE are more than double that of the ideal ONE, so the acceleration performance is even stronger.
3. Pure electric battery life
Lantu is equipped with a 33kWh ternary lithium battery pack, achieving a 140km NEDC pure electric endurance, fuel tank volume of 56 liters, the official total endurance.
The ideal ONE is also a ternary lithium battery with a capacity of 40.5kWh, thus obtaining a pure electric endurance of 188km NEDC, a fuel tank volume of 55 liters, and a total endurance of 1080km for the official NEDC.
4. Seat layout
Previously, the ideal ONE provided two layouts of six seats and seven seats, but most users chose the six-seat version, so from the 2021 model, only six seats can be selected, and there is only one version in the whole series, and there is no high or low match.
Lantu FREE shape size is slightly smaller than ideal, the whole series is a five-seat version, providing two power forms of extender and pure electric, and are divided into high and low, the options are more abundant, if you can choose seven seats it is more thoughtful.
5. Chassis form
6. Navigation assistance
The driver assistance system has become a must-have feature for today's newly launched models, at least there must be an adaptive cruise + lane keeping, otherwise they are embarrassed to say hello to their peers. The full range of Landu FREE series is equipped with a driver assistance system as standard, which can realize L2 level automatic driving assistance. However, the ideal ONE has been able to achieve navigation assistance based on high-precision maps, that is, it can automatically overtake and enter high-speed ramps according to road conditions, and Landu FREE is not yet possible.
7. Intelligent cockpit
Landu FREE has a lot of highlight configuration in the cockpit part, first of all, the integrated lifting triple screen (all 12.3 inches) looks very high-tech, and the car is also equipped with two cameras, which are located in the middle of the center console and the roof, which can achieve gesture interaction, face recognition login and personnel status monitoring. What's more worth mentioning is that it also supports AR navigation + night vision, which is a million-level luxury car to have to configure.
Although the ideal ONE is also a triple screen (12.3 +16.2+12.3 inches), it cannot be lifted or lowered, and there is a 10.1-inch screen in the lower area dedicated to controlling vehicle settings such as air conditioning and power mode. However, compared with the high-tech configuration of Lantu, the ideal is lacking.
In terms of voice interaction, the ideal ONE's "ideal classmate" has been quite smart after collecting a large number of user feedback and multiple OTAs, supporting wake-free, continuous dialogue, four-tone area, visible speaking, etc., and covering many functions, which make it very natural to communicate with people. Landu FREE is close to the ideal ONE in terms of voice interaction function, and can also achieve the ideal unsupported cross-function dual command execution (such as "turn down the temperature and open the sub-driving window"), but it is not as good as the ideal ONE in terms of fuzzy pronunciation correction ability.
In addition, the ideal ONE also supports the app store, which can download many practical apps, such as car WeChat. Landou FREE does not provide an app store, but supports Huawei HiCar mapping, and Ideal ONE does not support mobile phone mapping.
Accelerate testing
Judging from the test chart, the power did not explode immediately within 0.5 seconds of the start, which is why its starting appearance is not obvious. But then the acceleration quickly rose to 0.8g, the highest value reached 1.0g, this data is very strong, it brings a suffocating super strong push back feeling, before you can only experience on the supercar. After the speed breaks through 100, the acceleration is still about 0.4g, and the power reserve is quite sufficient.
As the most direct opponent of Lantu FREE, the 1.2T three-cylinder range extender equipped with the ideal ONE is a little larger than that of Lantu (96kW), but the total power and total torque of the front and rear drive motors are less than half of Lantu FREE, so the acceleration performance is naturally not as fast as Lantu FREE.
Brake test
Some larger SUVs, the brakes tend to show a tight foot feeling in front of the brakes, to avoid too much braking force when stepping on the brakes, resulting in a nod, shaking and swaying to make passengers suffer, but this also makes the braking force not linear enough. The brakes of the Landu FREE are more linear, and you don't need any special footwork to be able to control the deceleration force very well.
From the data chart, at a speed of 100 km / h per hour to start braking, the initial acceleration can reach a maximum of -1.3g, this force is quite fierce, and then basically maintained at -1.1g, higher than the general model of about 0.1g.
We also did a brake test on the ideal ONE in the same venue, the actual measurement is 37.83 meters, and the empty weight of the two is almost the same, the Lantu is 2290kg, the ideal is 2300kg, compared to the Lantu FREE braking performance is better than the ideal ONE, and the gap is also about 1.5 meters.
Winding test
The pile winding test and the elk test are comprehensive tests for the vehicle, and in this intense and even extreme driving control condition, the vehicle's chassis support, steering response, tire grip and other aspects are fully displayed.
Elk test
The elk test is more extreme than the pile winding test, which simulates the emergency change of the vehicle to avoid the action of suddenly encountering an obstacle. It not only tests the driver's ability to control, but also tests the performance of the vehicle, and vehicles with insufficient limits are more likely to get out of control in this case.
Noise test
The sound insulation performance of Lantu FREE is worthy of recognition, which can have a relatively good isolation from the noise outside the car, and the front windshield and front window are made of soundproof glass. No matter what the speed, people do not need to raise the volume in the car, and the quiet cabin allows the 10-speaker Dana audio to fully display its beauty.
Summary
Overall, the Lando FREE is a fairly balanced car. First of all, in terms of power, cocoa oil and electricity make it both unfettered by policy restrictions and eradicate mileage anxiety. Secondly, there are many highlights in the configuration of science and technology, and the degree of intelligence of the cockpit is relatively high. In addition, the performance is outstanding, and the drive motor of thousands of nm is equipped with the chassis of the following blood cost, and the handling quality is worthy of recognition. As for the design, materials, space and other aspects are not bad. At present, there are not many similar models in the market, and with the gradual substitution of consumers' recognition of the Lantu brand, this car may be able to reach the ideal ONE sales level.
