Enjoy this Chinese luxury test drive Lantu FREE extended range version

A lot of people ask me how the range-extending hybrid is, but I think it's still very marketable. In the market, before there was an ideal ONE stable monthly sales of more than 10,000 clubs, and then there was a national team from the Lantu turned out, coupled with the M5, although the world of the extended range is not a hundred flowers, but also a fierce role in the new energy vehicle market. Among them, the meaning of the existence of Lantu FREE has nothing to do with just need, and it does not focus on cross-border identity, what it has to do is to show people what is Chinese luxury.

Oilable and electric, worry-free priority

The test drive of the Lantu FREE range extended range version, the power form and everyone imagined, in the 33kWh of sufficient power, pure electric mileage can reach 140km, and then the 1.5T engine took over the baton, responsible for providing power for the whole vehicle, NEDC comprehensive endurance further extended to 860km.

Because the engine itself does not participate in the drive, the whole vehicle power is output by the front and rear dual motors, the total power reaches 510kW, the peak torque is 1040N·m, which makes the 100 km acceleration only 4.5s, from the performance price ratio alone, it is indeed more worth buying than the FREE pure electric version.

When it is actually driven, benefiting from the output characteristics of the motor itself, the acceleration in the sports mode is violent, after all, this horsepower goes straight to the seven hundred horse mark, and in the world of fuel vehicles, it must let the American big V8 go out of the horse, and now it only takes more than three hundred thousand to have. If you need to "sniff the roses", the smoothness and soothing brought by the economic mode and the comfort mode can also make people return to the feeling of the traditional oil car step by step.

As for the efficiency that people worry about, it has to be said that some worries are not necessarily unreasonable, but they are not necessarily necessary. Taking large cities that allow range extenders and mixed cars to enjoy local policy preferences as an example, the use rhythm of the whole car is actually based on daily pure electric transportation + medium and long-distance fuel range, which means that daily use needs to adjust living habits appropriately, and arrange as many time windows as possible for the charging of this car.

Lantu FREE extended range version supports 11kW family slow charge, public DC fast charge, 220V vehicle slow charge three kinds of charging driving, corresponding to 3.75 hours, 0.75 hours and almost one night time, as long as the use is appropriate, the commuting can avoid the intervention of the engine as much as possible. And when it comes to a colorful amateur life, the extender can ensure that it will not be plagued by endurance anxiety, although the comprehensive fuel consumption of about 9L/100km is not low, but considering that the fuel consumption of the same price of fuel vehicles is mostly not better than this, and the quiet, smooth, green card of the extender itself is not what the fuel car wants to have, so such a value-added experience is at least in my opinion worth the fare.

Smart luxury, GT flavor

Unlike many SUVs that focus on practicality, Landu FREE gives me the feeling of a lot less for space, function, and sexual compromise, and spares no effort in stacking materials. The combination of front double wishbones + rear multi-link + air suspension can be called the hardware standard of high-end luxury cars, coupled with the importance of self-development and self-production to fill the domestic gap, whether it is the configuration cost performance itself, or Lantu's insistence on luxury, is worthy of admiration.

Not only is the hardware configuration directly full, but the actual driving experience can also feel the valuable mature temperament of Lantu. At a time when most of the new forces have not clearly adjusted the chassis, Lantu FREE has achieved a high level of success in one shot, with a soft shock filter feeling, as well as one of the best support in the SUV, and the 100mm adjustable stroke also ensures sufficient passability. Especially when cutting at high speed, I was very surprised by the high control limit of this body, if it were not for the previous slight understanding of the pile of material on the Lando FREE chassis, I am afraid it is difficult for me to believe that I am driving a two-ton three-ton medium-sized SUV, but more like a big GT with the blessing of modern technology.

In addition to this unique flavor that makes me savor endlessly, Lantu FREE's emphasis on luxury is also reflected in the exquisite intelligent equipment. Needless to say, the elegance and atmosphere of the exterior design, especially the yacht-style suspension design of the D-pillar, are impressive. However, Lantu also applies these elements that can convey the essence of luxury to the interior design, and achieves the effect of being suitable for all ages, which is really valuable.

The biggest highlight is definitely the ultra-wide triple screen that can be lifted and lowered at the same time in this two-color interior. Three 12.3-inch screens are lined up in a row, and you can adjust the display area according to the mode you choose, and switch to the corresponding display interface, which is full of ceremony and can ensure that the display of core information does not distract the driving energy. There is a lot of learning here, not only to carry out software adaptation in different modes, but also the reliability of the lifting mechanism itself, the strength of the instrument table skeleton, but also to carry out targeted design and adjustment, these invisible costs, will be in the slow rise and fall, so that users intuitively feel the beauty of science and technology.

The luxury of intelligent technology does not stop there, while enjoying the ultimate quality of the full leather soft bag interior, the asymmetrical center console also integrates a small electronic barrier and a variety of storage space, while also leaving open storage space for the lower floor, greatly improving practicality. The panoramic canopy overhead can also support the light transmittance adjustment of 0-10 blocks, eliminating the scorching sun and eliminating the need for sunshades to occupy the head space, killing two birds with one stone, quite wise.

epilogue

In fact, there are many points worth saying about Lantu FREE itself, such as the rich application ecology of the co-driver entertainment screen, the extremely spacious five-seat design, the elegant styling design, and the L2-level intelligent driver assistance system. But if you put it in the expectation of rapid technological strength, these may not be the competitive advantages that Lantu really wants to do, after all, many car companies are doing this, and it has become a price point and a level of necessity, rather than an upper limit on the icing on the cake.
