As a strong player in the range extender hybrid SUV, Lando FREE has been considered the biggest competitor of the ideal ONE since its inception with its four-cylinder range extension and excellent mechanical properties. However, from the performance of lantu FREE in all aspects, lantu FREE seems to be "volume" not only the 300,000-level new energy SUV market, and its goal is far more than the ideal ONE. So where does Lantu FREE's confidence come from?
The extended range brings not only zero anxiety, but also the performance of "explosion"
The most well-known and recognized features of range extended range hybrid are "oilable and electric", commuting and far away, and a variety of flexible energy replenishment methods are completely free of mileage anxiety compared to pure electric models. Landu FREE extended range neDC has a comprehensive endurance of 860km, and provides four forms of energy replenishment: 11kW home charge, DC fast charge, 220V vehicle slow charge, and refueling.
Of course, this is only the first advantage of extender hybridization, in fact, extender hybridization as a kind of tandem hybrid structure, can bring benefits far more than these.
In the range extender hybrid system, because the engine and wheels are directly and completely decoupled, only the electric workmanship is used to drive the vehicle, so the operating conditions of the engine are not affected by the change of speed. When the driving demand power of the vehicle is lower than the power generated by the engine, part of the power generated by the engine is used to drive the wheels, and the other part is charged for the power battery; and the driving demand power is greater than the power generation power, and the power battery will divide part of the power to ensure the power output of the vehicle.
In addition, the electronic control system allows the engine to always operate in an efficient operating range at low speeds, resulting in relatively better fuel economy.
The second benefit of using range extender hybrids is that it can bring more power. Compared with the hybrid structure of the twin motor series parallel connection for the purpose of extreme fuel saving (such as BYD DM-i, Great Wall DHT, etc.), the extended range hybrid system does not involve the direct drive wheels of the engine, and naturally abandons the transmission structure such as the transmission in the traditional sense. Theoretically, as long as the motor power is large enough and the discharge power of the battery is large enough, the performance of the vehicle can be unlimited, and the Lantu FREE range extended range version is such a medium and large SUV with performance "exploding".
Lantu FREE extended range version is equipped with front and rear dual AC asynchronous motors, and equipped with intelligent electronic control four-wheel drive, the highest power is 510kW, the peak torque is 1040N·m, and the zero hundred acceleration only takes 4.5s, which can burst into strong power in an instant.
Air suspension empowerment - Gu family can also "fight the sword to go to the end of the world"
Performance alone is not enough, the air suspension is the "big killer" of the same level as Lantu FREE.com. Previously, we all knew that the production process of air suspension was complex and costly, the monopoly of foreign technology was more serious, and the models assembled were all high-end models of luxury brands. So how exactly does this air suspension on the Lando FREE work? What are the benefits?
The air suspension of Landu FREE is composed of front and rear air springs, controllers, air pumps and distribution valve assemblies, body height sensors, main and auxiliary air receivers, and pipelines. The height sensor is fixed to the frame and the other end is fixed to the suspension swing arm. During the wheel jump or jump, the swing arm is driven, resulting in a change in the relative angle of one end of the sensor and the other end, so that the height sensor generates signal height difference information, at which time the system can know the height of the air suspension.
When it is necessary to increase the height of the body, the controller issues a command, at this time the distribution valve corresponds to the valve open, and the high-pressure gas in the main and auxiliary gas cylinders will enter the air spring (of course, according to different situations, the gas spring can also be directly inflated by the air pump). When the height of the vehicle needs to be reduced, the vent valve and the air spring distribution valve are opened, and the height of the body will be reduced, so that the body height can be manually adjusted, the body height can be dynamically adjusted with speed, and the body adjustment can be equalized.
In addition to the height of the body can be adjusted, the spring elastic coefficient of the air suspension equipped with the Landu FREE, that is, the softness and hardness of the spring, can also be automatically adjusted as needed. For example, at high speed corners, the air springs and shock absorbers of the outer wheels automatically harden to reduce the roll of the body, and when the vehicle passes through bumpy roads, the control unit can soften the suspension damping to ensure the comfort of the car.
In addition, Landu FREE uses an all-aluminum alloy front double wishbone single and rear multi-link independent suspension in the chassis part, which not only brings lighter under-spring quality and higher body rigidity, but also after careful tuning by the chassis team, it can bring very sporty handling stability to this medium and large SUV weighing 2.3 tons, coupled with excellent and powerful acceleration performance, the driving pleasure is self-evident.
Of course, if you think that talking about the driving texture is too subjective, then let's talk about the air suspension equipped with the Lando FREE can bring real benefits.
The air suspension of The Lando FREE has a maximum adjustment range of up to 100mm, and there are a total of 5 height levels that can be adjusted in different modes.
In welcome mode, the air suspension is reduced to a minimum, and the chassis height is only 113mm at this time, even a medium and large SUV can facilitate the elderly and children of the family to easily get on and off the bus, bringing a better travel experience for the family. And when you need to carry large luggage items from the trunk, the lower suspension height also makes it easier for you to relax. When the vehicle starts, the body height can be raised to the original height.
In Economy/Comfort mode, the chassis height is automatically adjustable to 163mm for longer suspension travel, thus guaranteeing better ride comfort in the car.
Of course, in addition to being able to take better care of your family and carrying an air suspension, Lantu FREE can also accompany you to "fight the sword and walk the world". In the outing mode, the chassis height can be raised to a maximum of 213mm, the ground clearance is much larger than most urban SUVs, and the passability can be greatly improved. Coupled with the maximum cruising range of 860km brought by the extender hybrid system, whether you want to cross the mountains or travel by car, this Lantu FREE extended range version can let you travel calmly in any road conditions.
As for worrying about the high cost of air suspension post-maintenance? Rest assured, there is a warranty of the whole vehicle of Lantu.
In fact, not only the air suspension, but also the Lantu FREE Extended Range Edition is also luxurious enough in other comfort configurations. For example, the 10-speaker Danna audio, intelligent dimmable panoramic canopy, baby skin-friendly leather cockpit, etc., can show that Lantu FREE takes the user as the core, and provides zero anxiety, warmth and reliability for the new backbone through technology, products and services for the new backbone of the intelligent electric experience.
Overall, Landu FREE is a high-performance SUV that integrates performance, handling, luxury cockpit, and intelligent technology in 300,000 classes. Its inherent strength and hardware that is willing to be laid down can fully match the tonality of high-end brands. From the perspective of super high cost performance, comfortable and luxurious experience and performance in all aspects, Lantu FREE wants to seize not only the 300,000-level new energy SUV market, but also the ability it has can compete with the more expensive and higher positioning of luxury brand fuel SUVs.
Therefore, how to break the circle and set off a wave of "inner volume" in a higher-level market depends on how Lantu FREE will take advantage of its performance and quality to let more consumers pay attention.
