To some extent, the high-end MPV market has been in a situation of being "monopolized" by joint venture brand models, when consumers choose high-end MPV, Toyota Alpha, Lexus LM, Buick GL8 Evia may be the models they will give priority to, but none of them are domestic.
Is it true that there is no model in the domestic MPV that can compete with the joint venture brand MPV? Of course not, GAC Trumpchi M8, SAIC Roewe iMAX 8, SAIC Maxus G20, etc. are all challenging the joint venture high-end MPV. Recently, as the first electric luxury MPV of its own brand, Lantu Dreamer also officially opened pre-sale, of which the price range of 7-seat version is 380,000-480,000 yuan, and the price of 4 customized version is 600,000 yuan. After the pre-sale is opened, Lantu Dreamer will open user tasting in May, and the car can be picked up as soon as July.
Before the arrival of Lantu Dreamer, independent brands were still blank in the high-end MPV, especially the electric MPV market segment. It is precisely because of this that the Lantu Dreamer is also known as another row of domestic high-end noodle masterpieces. But such a pre-price seems a little bold for a new car, so can The Lantu Dreamer match it?
In fact, compared with those high-end MPVs, the pre-price currently announced by Lantu Dreamer is actually very sincere. And not only the price is lower, lantu brand also announced the pre-sale price at the same time, give the corresponding pre-sale rights, pre-sale period booking users, will be able to enjoy a lifetime free vehicle warranty, lifetime free three-electric warranty, lifetime free roadside assistance, lifetime free car traffic, lifetime free OTA upgrade, free charging pile installation of six worry-free service rights. As well as the daily deposit (300 yuan / day) appreciation rights until the listing, these are obviously the benefits that those veteran players cannot enjoy for the time being.
As the flagship product of the Lantu brand towards high-end impact, the strength of Dreamer cannot be underestimated. In terms of appearance, the design concept of the family-style luxury yacht has been continued on the dreamer, the hexagonal grille occupies a large part of the front of the car, and the straight waterfall design further enhances the visual impact. The side of the car uses the current popular suspension roof, which is enough to show its atmosphere with the steady style of the rear of the car.
In the creation of a luxurious atmosphere in the car, whether it is materials or workmanship, the dreamer has also reached the middle and upper level of the same level, and the large-area leather material and diamond-shaped grille design further increase the texture of the car. The triple screen on Lantu FREE still appears on the dreamer, and the sense of technology is very strong.
In terms of seats, the seven-seater version of the model uses a 2+2+3 layout, of which the second row of seats is also equipped with front and rear slides, which can meet the needs of different scenes. In addition, in order to meet the needs of some home users, its second row of seats also uses environmentally friendly materials certified by the EU baby-grade ecological textiles, and the massage function and electric leg rest are also equipped, which can fully meet the needs of business and daily family cars.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the Lantu Dreamer are 5315 * 1980 * 1810mm, and the wheelbase is 3200mm, which is enough to reach the level of a large MPV, even larger than Toyota Alpha. Therefore, even if the seven-seat version is in the third row, it can still get a relatively spacious seating space. And in the conventional state, the Dreamer can completely put down 4 24-inch suitcases at the same time on the volume of the trunk, and the carrying capacity is still very impressive.
Although Lantu Dreamer is positioned as a high-end MPV, it is not just born for the rear seat, and the Lantu brand injects a strong performance gene into the Dreamer in the driving control. It is equipped with a front and rear dual motor and a four-wheel drive system, so that such a "big head" can achieve 0-100 km/h acceleration in 5.9 seconds. This is definitely a first-class level for an MPV model.
At the same time, Lantu Dreamer is also the world's first MPV equipped with a front double wishbone, rear five-link independent suspension, and the car is also equipped with adjustable shock absorbers and air suspension with magic carpet function as standard, so in theory, Lantu Dreamer has a smoother driving experience and better road passability.
In addition, the intelligent driving assistance mainly promoted by new energy models is also equipped with Dreamers. Judging from the information officially released by Lantu at present, the Dreamer is equipped with L2+ level intelligent assisted driving, adaptive cruise and car driving, collision warning, lane keeping, etc. can be realized, and the blessing of these functions can effectively alleviate the driver's operational difficulty. Of course, in addition to not only having a comprehensive active safety configuration, Lantu Dreamer also uses ultra-high-strength steel and aluminum hybrid body, which has achieved excellent results in multiple safety evaluation systems.
There is no doubt that Lantu Dreamer, whether it is product strength or price, has given consumers who like it a big surprise. This is another market segment and price range that has not been touched by domestic brands, but compared with those luxury MPV of the same level, or MPV models of the same price, Lantu Dreamer has a good advantage. Then, regardless of brand and model popularity, Lantu Dreamer may break the monopoly of foreign companies on the high-end MPV market segment. As for the future direction, we will wait and see.
