This issue of the review Lantu FREE!
Question 1: What is Lantu FREE?
Cough, although this will appear to be very faceless, but it may indeed be the most concerned problem for car friends.
Lantu is a new power brand launched by Dongfeng Group, FREE is the first car of Lantu, positioning medium and large SUVs, with a guidance price of 31.36-36.36 million yuan.
Lantu FREE has an extended range version and a pure electric version, and K brother got the top match of the extended range version this time, with a guidance price of 333,600 yuan.
Like the ideal ONE, the Lando FREE is equipped with a range extender, a 1.5T four-cylinder turbocharged engine code-named SFG15TR.
Horsepower does not have to care, anyway, this thing is also used to generate electricity, do not participate in the drive.
Question 2: What is the principle of augmentation?
In fact, it is much the same, taking the Landu FREE only electric drive, but the battery is not large, only 33kWh.
The actual pure electric mileage is between 90-120km, and it can be charged without use, and it can be charged quickly for 0.75 hours.
The significance of the range extender is to generate electricity, to power the battery, and can also directly drive the motor forward.
So the extended tram can be added and left, even if the electricity is used up, you can also start the vehicle.
Question 3: What are the advantages of Lantu FREE?
Let's talk about it in several ways, first of all, the appearance, compared to other new forces, the design of this car is more traditional.
Because of the need for a range extender, the front face retains the intake grille, and also has a dream linkage with Martha!
In addition to the low-end, other versions are air suspension, so the vehicle attitude is relatively low, the body height is only 1645mm, much lower than the traditional SUV.
Yacht-style exterior design is also very special, although it is said to be a case, but it is rare in independent brands.
The 20-inch wheels are a bit like Lincoln aviators, and the style of the whole car is very compatible, and the luxurious taste is not coming!
Guess the car before the interior, guess Porsche riders can understand, it's not your fault.
But porsche in the middle is a bell, what is the operation of you to put a large camera? I'm not Sister Li.
Lantu FREE's interior has three colors, blue and white color block and yacht style appearance are more compatible, but personally still like black and blue color, as for beige, dogs do not buy!
The first feeling of the interior to Brother K is luxury, which is mainly reflected in the selection of interior materials.
Large area leather wrapping enhances the sense of luxury needless to say, matte silver trim is also very grade, plus a small number of piano black embellishments, fashion and luxury are pinched.
If you really want to pick a little thorn in the interior, it is that the central control screen is separated, and the sense of technology connected together is more sufficient.
Speaking of the central control screen, the entire center console of the Lantu FREE can be lifted and lowered, and the effect refers to the GIF below.
In fact, whether it rises or falls will not obscure the line of sight, but the sense of ceremony is full.
Just like the dashboard of the McLaren P1, you can also switch from the traditional dashboard to a fish screen, which only displays the speed, speed and gear, and stir-fry chicken battle!
The 10-speaker Danna audio is the standard of the extended range version, and it is possible to listen to songs with the App that comes with the car machine, and the power is relatively large, which sounds very enjoyable.
Another impressive point is this canopy, which can be manually controlled for transparency.
In the car machine can be adjusted according to the proportion of 0-10, 0 is completely opaque, similar to frosted glass.
The seat and space are also the advantages of Lantu FREE, and the texture of the back of the chair is also biased towards the traditional luxury style, the padding is soft and thick, and it is very comfortable to sit on.
The rear space is one-size-fits-all with the second row of the ideal ONE, and the length of the rear seats is lengthened.
The third aspect is the driving experience, and the maturity of Lantu FREE is very high.
To give two counter-examples, the suspension of the ideal ONE is too stiff, completely unlike the calmness that a large car should have, and it is tilted over the speed bump to your "madness".
The suspension of xiaopeng P7 is too soft, and the violent acceleration meets the soft suspension, and the glare makes you "dizzy".
Even if there is an empty suspension, such as the extreme krypton 001, its empty suspension is like a half-hanging, unlike the level that a large factory should have.
But the empty suspension of Lantu FREE really surprised me, it is also soft, but it is precious and it is also supported.
Brother K deliberately went to the bumpy road to open, the air suspension filter is very crisp, the rebound is relatively fast, there is no much discomfort.
In the big bend of the Yuhangtang Road underground tunnel, it is sufficiently supportive, and such a large car can achieve a small range of roll, which has been qualified.
Landu FREE has four driving modes, and the difference is still relatively obvious.
The electric door of the economic and comfort mode is very soothing, and it is relatively close to the oil car, and only by stepping on the electric door deep will it give a strong feedback.
The sport mode is very violent, you know this is a car with a 4.6 seconds acceleration of 100 kilometers. Underneath the bloated body was a powertrain of nearly 700 hp and 1,000 Nm.
But in fact, it is very simple and easy to open it, the strength of the steering wheel is moderate, the pointing is not accurate, but it is not virtual.
Most of the time use economy or comfort mode on the line, comfortable from point A to point B.
Question 4: What are the disadvantages of Lantu FREE?
In fact, I also wanted to find out the shortcomings of Lantu FREE, but I found three shortcomings.
First of all, the car machine, well, it is indeed quite card, but this also shows that Lantu is a "traditional brand"!
In addition, voice is not very easy to use, recognition is very low, and instructions are not rich.
But if you just want to listen to the song navigation and watch iQiyi, this car is no problem.
The second is the brakes, a car with a 4.6-second acceleration of 100 kilometers is only equipped with a single-piston caliper?
Brother K looked at a circle of new power brands that can accelerate, and the front brakes are basically equipped with multiple pistons, such as Xiaopeng P7, Tesla Model 3 and so on.
Reflected in driving is the lack of confidence in braking in sport mode, you have to brake hard to ensure that the car brake stops, if you just tap the brake, after a long time the speed is only reduced from 70 to 60.
If a fast car brakes don't work, that's definitely a problem!
The third disadvantage is high energy consumption.
The car can use both electricity and oil, so there are two sets of energy consumption data.
Interestingly, the gauge of Landu FREE is to separate the energy consumption statistics, you can see the power consumption and fuel consumption.
Brother K took a look, the power consumption of pure electricity is not low, reaching 28kWh/100km, and the normal 100 km power consumption is 18-19 degrees.
Then if it is because this car is large, heavy, and the power consumption is high, it is understandable.
That high fuel consumption is "really not Li Sister", the advantage of reasoning range extender is not that it can maintain low energy consumption and continue to supply power?
But the fuel consumption of The Landu FREE has dropped to 9.2L/100km, which is similar to the level of 2.0T fuel vehicles.
Moreover, the fuel consumption of Lantu FREE can fluctuate up and down, and the fuel consumption in the urban area is higher, and the fuel consumption at high speed is lower.
emm, new energy vehicle bought a lonely?
In fact, the influencing factor is the feeding, and the feeding engine may bypass the battery to directly power the motor.
And the setting of Lantu FREE is that even if it feeds its acceleration ability will not be significantly weakened, after all, the official positioning is a high-performance intelligent SUV.
So where does the large amount of electrical energy come from in a short period of time? Of course, you have to work the range extender, and you have to use a turbine!
Therefore, the fuel consumption of this car is also very high while the power consumption is high.
Question 5: Who is suitable for Arata FREE?
I said that only the old man likes to open lan tu FREE, the official must not block me!
That's not to say that LanTu FREE is open and comfortable.
In view of the high energy consumption and less than ideal performance of the Landu FREE, Brother K feels that only those who want to experience a different driving experience and have money in their hands will buy it.
If it's for energy saving, there's no point in buying it.
If it's for intelligence, then there's no point in buying it.
If it is for the smoothness and acceleration that the fuel car cannot achieve, then buy it is the right thing to buy.
Without further ado, oil prices will rise again tomorrow, so it's not even 12 o'clock to go and refuel!
Here's the car that Brother K has picked up
Whether it's spit or recommendation
We all gave our thoughts frankly
New attention to the car friends can look at it again!
