In the middle and late March, the gentle spring breeze has begun to spread gradually from south to north on the motherland, and the germination of all things and the vigorous breath have quietly come to us. Maybe you are in the north in the snow of "falling spring cold", you have not yet been able to feel this feeling of spring, but if you go south more than 1,000 kilometers like me to Wuhan, Hubei Province, which is in the cherry blossom season, then this special spring will immediately fill your soul.
In the mild spring breeze of Wuhan, admiring the blooming cherry blossoms, will you feel that something is missing? Wuhan, the "hero city", is not only worth cherry blossoms, here the beauty and food, there are many places worth exploring, how to visit such a beautiful city how less a comfortable, high-quality car. Born in Wuhan, Lantu FREE not only has a strong wuhan urban color, but also as a new energy medium and large SUV, its high intelligence and comfortable driving experience can make this journey to find spring more comfortable.
Integrate traditional Chinese cultural elements Elegance and atmosphere shine together
The English name of the Lantu brand is "VOYAH", taken from the name of "Voyage Sailing", which means the exploration of the unknown and the conquest of the sea, so Lantu FREE integrates the design concept derived from the yacht in the design of the whole vehicle. Moreover, Lantu FREE also applies a lot of design elements taken from traditional Chinese culture, which makes Lantu FREE as a medium and large SUV, not only has an atmospheric and stable temperament, but also integrates a bit of elegant and restrained feeling.
The middle of the front of the car is composed of a large-size straight waterfall grille, the interior is integrated into the through-type LED light strip, the central part is the Lantu brand LOGO that can be lit, its design inspiration is derived from Zhuangzi's "Getaway" in the "Kunpeng Spread Wings", when the lights are turned on at night, the headlights, through-type LED light strip and the car logo will light up at the same time, which can show a rich scientific and technological atmosphere
Although the Landu FREE is positioned as a medium-sized and large SUV, because it adopts a five-seat layout, it presents a smooth and elegant feeling different from other medium- and large-sized SUVs after incorporating yacht design elements, which makes the Landu FREE only have a low wind resistance of 0.28Cd. The most brilliant position on the side of the body is undoubtedly the body D pillar, and the Z-shaped swing shape is derived from the yacht, which visually creates a good sense of layering and three-dimensionality, while reducing the heaviness brought by the large size of the body, and adding a touch of agility.
Although the rear styling design is relatively simple, in the shape of the details, you can still see some small ideas in it. For example, the rear tail light group looks like a straight contour shape, but the internal contour light strip is designed with a trapezoidal bump in the central part, not a whole straight line, and the brake light sources on both sides are also designed as sword feather style, which can be seen after lighting the deep three-dimensional structure inside, which enhances the recognition of the whole vehicle.
The wrap-around cockpit meets the liftable triple screen The sense of quality and the sense of technology are integrated
Similar to the exterior, Landu FREE's interior also incorporates a design concept derived from the yacht, but the interior of the car is more abstract, creating a sense of déjà vu as if it were in a yacht through interior color and high-quality workmanship. Lantu FREE's car adopts a wrap-around cockpit design, and applies a large number of high-quality leather materials with excellent hand feel for wrapping, coupled with delicate workmanship, as well as the quality control from Dongfeng Motor's more than 50 years of car manufacturing experience, making the interior of Lantu FREE presents a warm and comfortable, but also has a comfortable and luxurious feeling, which is highly consistent with the positioning of Lantu's high-end new energy brand.
In addition to the exquisite interior workmanship materials, the most eye-catching thing in the Landu FREE car is undoubtedly the liftable integrated through-screen arranged on the center console, although there are also some new cars in the market that have begun to use the through-screen design, but the through-screen screen that can be lifted as a whole can only be done by Landu FREE. When the vehicle is powered off or switched to sport mode, the entire through-screen will automatically descend, the vehicle will be powered on or switched back to other driving modes, and the screen will automatically rise to return to the normal display state. This design allows the driver to focus more on the road when driving in sport mode, avoiding interference from other factors, thereby improving safety while driving.
The interior of the through-screen screen adopts a triple screen design, and the size of the three screens is 12.3 inches, whether it is display clarity, delicacy, and fluency, it has a more mainstream level in the same level. And the through-screen built-in Lantu and Huawei in-depth cooperation with the HiCar system, in addition to rich functionality, the overall use experience is also very good, and even let you have the feeling of operating a Huawei tablet. Although Lantu FREE has excellent performance in the degree of intelligence, it does not blindly pursue de-physical keys, which is more in line with the use habits of most Chinese consumers, including the air conditioning control buttons arranged in the lower part of the through-screen, the vehicle control buttons and the trackpad in the shift area, most of the common functions can be operated with physical buttons, and the use experience is more convenient.
Pure electric / extended range dual version to meet a variety of needs equipped with air suspension is unique to the same class
Landu FREE is the only new energy SUV in the market that provides both pure electric and extended range hybrid dual-power layout, and provides three power versions to choose from, four-wheel drive extended range version, two-wheel drive pure electric version and four-wheel drive pure electric version. Our cherry blossom viewing trip in Wuhan was a four-wheel drive extended range model, which is powered by dual front and rear motors, which can burst out a staggering 510 kW combined maximum power and 1040 Nm combined maximum torque, so that the powerful power level allows the Lando FREE to accelerate from stationary to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds.
The four-wheel drive extender version adopts a 1.5T in-line four-cylinder engine as a range extender, and matches a generator with a maximum power of 80 kilowatts, coupled with a ternary lithium battery pack with a capacity of 33 kWh, so that the four-wheel drive extended range neDC pure electric mileage is 140 kilometers and the NEDC comprehensive mileage is 860 kilometers. Fuelable and electric characteristics, coupled with a long cruising range, even if the theme test drive from Wuhan to Gexian Mountain Cherry Valley, a round trip of nearly 300 kilometers, Lantu FREE four-wheel drive extended range version can still easily cope, eliminate mileage and energy anxiety.
In the bright spring cherry blossom season, how less to step on the green and camping, Lantu FREE full range of models with standard external discharge function, the maximum discharge power of 3600 watts, not only can achieve the wild brewing coffee, brewing tea before the pleasant enjoyment, after nightfall, but also to achieve singing K, barbecue, watching open-air movies, all kinds of camping equipment can continue to supply power. In the past, most consumers for new energy vehicles, will inherently think that the use of the scene is limited to the city, but for the Lantu FREE extended range version, not only has the characteristics of low cost of urban driving, thanks to a long comprehensive mileage, even long-distance travel is not a problem, greatly expanding the use of the vehicle.
This Wuhan cherry blossom viewing tour passes through various complex road conditions such as highways, urban roads, and suburban mountain roads and sand roads, so the changeable road conditions provide space for the air suspension mounted by Lantu FREE. Lantu FREE's air suspension is composed of front double wishbone independent suspension, rear multi-link independent suspension and air spring, this air suspension system has a 100mm lifting range, and can be adaptively adjusted, matching five driving modes that match economy, comfort, high energy, outing, and customization.
When switching to high-energy mode, the air suspension is reduced, the chassis ground clearance is only 133mm, the lower center of gravity allows the vehicle to have a more robust posture when cornering, and the suspension can provide sufficient lateral support for the vehicle, which is more convenient for maneuvering when cornering. When switching to the outing mode, the air suspension rises, the ground clearance of the chassis becomes 213mm, and the data such as the approach angle, departure angle and longitudinal passage angle of the vehicle also become larger, thereby improving the passability of the whole vehicle when it is on a bad road. Moreover, the longer suspension stroke can better cushion the bumps caused by ditches and bumps, especially some fine bumps can even be completely resolved, as smooth as driving on silk.
Write at the end
In the warm and warm Wuhan, I spent a day with Lando FREE on a cherry blossom viewing trip, although the time was not long, but the charm of Landu FREE made me really feel. As the first mass production model of the Lantu brand, it can be seen that the manufacturer has poured a lot of effort and expectation into the Lantu FREE, and the actual performance of the Lantu FREE is indeed very surprising to me, whether it is a comfortable, high-quality interior, or a multi-scene suitable driving quality, it exceeds our expectations for a new brand model. The emerging Lantu brand is like the cherry blossoms in full bloom in March, full of vitality and vitality, and the arrival of Lantu FREE makes us more looking forward to the future development of the Lantu brand.
