Woody Allen uses film to express his love for the city, and Rantu chooses to measure the beauty of the city with wheels.
Every city has its own unique character, and we don't really pay attention to the city's landscape. In fact, it is not necessary to go far to call it a trip. On a leisurely weekend, one person and one car can transform into a "traveler" living in the city and rediscover the comfortable life under the quiet time.
Admittedly, if you want to start a journey of urban exploration, you first need to choose a "partner" to go along.
But in this period of soaring oil prices, a high-quality car must not only have unimpeded performance and strong power to ride freely, but also obviously have the "skill" of not having to worry about the cost of the car and the range of the car.
Wander with Landu FREE and awaken the fun of driving life
Positioned in the "performance-level intelligent electric SUV", the LANDU FREE extended range version is currently the only electric SUV model in the industry that provides a pure electric and extended range electric dual power layout, and its dual power scheme of pure electric + extended range is undoubtedly the optimal solution for the current travel.
On March 29th, Landu Automobile's "Landu FREE Journey King • City Roaming" national tour series activities kicked off at Beijing Station.
This time, the author was also able to experience the ultimate driving charm of the Landu FREE Extended Range Edition through a nearly 300-kilometer test driving route, from the comprehensive road conditions such as urban roads, highways, and rural roads.
Under the background of the "double carbon" of the automobile industry, the new energy vehicle market continues to transform into a pure electric direction. However, the ensuing mileage anxiety, high cost, battery hidden dangers and other pain points are also fermenting, and the program augmentation is undoubtedly the best solution for the user's high-frequency scene needs and car pain points.
The Free range version of Landu, which advocates "zero anxiety", is equipped with more advanced range extender power.
Relying on the three important core technologies of efficient and stable 1.5T four-cylinder engine, industry-leading special permanent magnet synchronous generator for maximum power, and high-quality batteries from top suppliers, we can provide customers with a more efficient, stable and comfortable high-quality electric drive experience.
In terms of battery packs, the Landu FREE Extended Range Edition is equipped with a ternary lithium battery, and its battery density is 33kWh, so the NEDC pure electric mileage is 140 kilometers. However, with the blessing of the engine, the comprehensive mileage of NEDC can reach 860 kilometers.
With its 53L fuel tank, even in the case of insufficient battery power, the vehicle can still be used as a fuel vehicle, and the characteristics of "oilable and electric" are not only suitable for daily transportation, long-distance travel is also stress-free.
And in terms of energy replenishment, Lantu FREE extended range version is equipped with a total of 11kW home charge, DC fast charge, 220V vehicle slow charge, refueling (No. 92 gasoline) four forms of energy replenishment, even in the face of the peak of travel during large and small holidays, it will not cause the embarrassing embarrassment of charging one hour and other piles for 4 hours, and the mileage has zero anxiety.
It is worth noting that the Landu FREE extended range version of the model is a dual-motor intelligent four-drive force system, the highest power can reach 510kW, and the peak torque has reached a staggering 1040N·m.
The new car has ample power reserves, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers takes only 4.5 seconds, which is difficult to meet in the same class.
The route of this test drive starts from the urban area of Beijing to Gubei Water Town, a total of about 300 kilometers, covering the comprehensive road conditions such as urban roads, highways, mountain roads, and rural roads. In the process of driving, it can be clearly felt that the Lantu FREE extended range version is comparable to the performance of the sports car level, and the power is on call.
At the same time, taking into account the driving habits of daily commuters and fuel-changing owners, the new car is also equipped with a comfortable and economic mode, in which the vehicle power output will be relatively soft, but there is still a strong output after stepping on the acceleration pedal, which greatly takes into account the balance between driving control and comfort.
When it comes to air suspension, it seems that it is only the "super power" of luxury cars, which is limited by cost and technology, and rarely appears in the configuration list of domestic brands.
As the first vehicle enterprise in China to independently master the core technology of air suspension, Lantu Automobile has equipped the LANTU FREE extended range version with an air suspension with 100mm adaptive height and height adjustment, making it the only SUV equipped with air suspension among the 300,000 models.
With the addition of air suspension, when walking towards the car, the through-wing light group is automatically lit, and the height of the body will be reduced, and the welcome mode will fill the sense of ceremony. Of course, air suspension is by no means just a sign of luxury properties.
Matching the five driving modes of Lantu FREE Extended Range Edition for Economy, Comfort, High Energy, Outing, and Customization, with the change of vehicle height, you can calmly cope with various road challenges.
Especially when the vehicle chooses to be in the outing mode, the body will gradually rise, the distance between the tires and the wheels and the eyebrows is more than one palm, and the chassis height is 213mm.
Not only can it bring the best field of view to the driver, at the same time, the ground clearance of the vehicle is much larger than that of the non-air suspension SUV model, so that Lantu has better passability and comfort, and fully meets the user's driving needs for the whole scene.
In addition, the Lando FREE Extended Range Edition adopts the front double wishbones and the rear multi-link suspension, which lays a good motion gene for the vehicle, and the inhibition of starting head and brake nod is significantly better than that of the McPherson suspension model.
With the excellent texture of the chassis tuning, in the face of the complex road conditions of the whole terrain, the Lantu FREE extended range version can still maintain excellent handling stability.
What is more surprising is that it adopts an all-aluminum alloy suspension control arm, which can effectively reduce the under-spring mass, further improve the tire grounding, and make the vehicle more calm when handling the action.
The shaping of a brand, like the epitome of a city's story, has a long history.
As a new brand of central enterprises, Lantu Automobile has different genes and confidence from the beginning of its birth. Thanks to the strong accumulation of dongfeng company's mature car companies and the operation mode of new car-making forces, Lantu has continuously accelerated on the track of new energy, and in less than a year, it has stood out among the "new forces" that have risen, shaping a solid "Lantu quality" and creating "Lantu speed".
Lantu FREE Range Edition is based on super-running power, the first to be equipped with adjustable air suspension, texture and value are far beyond the same level of chassis, etc., many advanced configurations in one of the product force, set a new value benchmark for 300,000-level electric SUVs.
Everything is full of variables, but anything is possible.
Under the background of unprecedented changes in a century, shouldering the mission of Dongfeng Group's new energy strategy, Lantu Automobile is racing against time.
With the brand mission of "let the car drive the dream and empower the better life", the needs of users have been further improved. It is believed that in the next few years, Lantu will become a new business card of China's high-end brands with high-end product performance and value.
