Lantu FREE compared to Weilai ES6, who is the "true hero" of air suspension?

Last weekend, Che Toujun and his college classmate Hao Ge had tea and chatted. When talking about the car, Hao Ge drank a sip of tea and said: "To say that this new force of car-making is really fearful, now spend three or four hundred thousand, you can buy the air suspension that was only equipped with the previous million-level luxury car, really good welfare." ”

Hao Ge's words are not false, in the early years, due to the cost problem, air suspension is equipped on million-class luxury cars. But the new car-making forces born in China have rewritten this history. The NIO ES6 will be equipped with air suspension models, pulled down to 400,000 yuan price point. Lantu FREE is more ruthless, further pulling the configuration model to the level of 300,000 yuan.

So, if you want to choose the best of the best, Lantu FREE and NIO ES6, who should be chosen? Today, Che toujun will make a comprehensive horizontal evaluation of these two cars.

All have air suspension, and the starting threshold is 60,000

Let's start with the air suspension and make a comparison.

Landu FREE, from the 333,600 yuan price of four-wheel drive extended version of the exclusive luxury set, began to be equipped with air suspension. The NIO ES6 had to start equipping it with air suspension from the 465KM performance version priced at 398,000 yuan.

The price threshold for this start is as much as 64,400 yuan.

In terms of suspension combination, Lantu FREE and NIO ES6 are both a combination of front double wishbone - rear multi-link independent suspension, both support up and down adjustment.

In terms of technical provenance, the air suspension of the NIO ES6 belongs to the take-ism and comes from the Continental Group. The air suspension of Landu FREE is the first to independently control this core technology. The development validation was rigorous, passing 70 rounds of different experiments. In the durability test, its gas springs vibrate up and down 5.6 million times (3 million to 3.6 million times by ordinary manufacturers), and the service life is much higher than the industry standard, which shows the depth of its research and development.

In terms of functions, Landu FREE matches five driving modes of economy, comfort, high energy, outing, and customization, with a chassis height of up to 213mm and a suspension height adjustment range of 100mm.

The NIO ES6 also has a variety of driving modes, such as Easy Load Mode, Low Mode, Standard Mode and Maximum Mode, with a chassis height of 210mm and a suspension height adjustment range of 100mm.

Relatively speaking, Landu FREE pays more attention to the sense of humane ritual. When getting on and off the bus, the welcome mode of Lantu FREE is turned on, which not only automatically lights up the through-type wing light group, automatically pops out the door handle, the air suspension is reduced to the minimum, and the chassis height can be as low as 113mm, which is convenient for the elderly and children to get on and off. Such intimate care of the inconspicuous mountain dew is the embodiment of the sense of luxury. When the vehicle starts and the speed reaches more than 5km/h, the body height will rise to the original height and can be driven freely.

In terms of handling, according to the actual measurement of professional media, the pile insertion speed of Lantu FREE in the elk test is 75.3km/h, and the pile speed of the NIO ES6 in the elk test is 74.8km/h, which is slightly inferior to the Lantu FREE.

In terms of driving performance, both Landu FREE and NIO ES6 are equipped with dual front and rear motors. The maximum power of the Landu FREE motor is 510kW, the maximum torque is 1040Nm, and the whole vehicle can break the hundred in 4.5 seconds. The maximum power of the NIO ES6 motor is 400kW, the maximum torque is 725Nm, and the whole vehicle can break the hundred in 4.7 seconds.

It can be seen that Lantu FREE is better than its more expensive counterpart in terms of output data and acceleration performance - Weilai ES6.

Thanks to the industry's most advanced Bosch iBooster 2.0 braking system and ESP 9.3Hev body stabilization system, the braking distance of 100 kilometers is only 35.9 meters, which is also the leading medium and large luxury SUV in the same class.

They are all medium-sized SUVs, and the ride is comfortable and high

Next, compare the appearance and ride comfort.

Landu FREE adopts a straight waterfall design, retaining the "middle net" of traditional fuel vehicles, and the bracketing kit is more sporty, giving the front face more agility.

The NIO ES6 adopts a family-style central active closed air intake grille, with a triangular headlight silhouette, which is more personalized and radical.

On the side of the body, the waistline of the Lantu FREE is relatively gentle, and the shape resembles a yacht, which is more stable. Weilai ES6 still takes a personalized route, with a suspended roof and color matching, which is very distinctive.

In terms of size, the lantu FREE has a length, width and height of 4905x1950x1645mm, and a wheelbase of 2960mm. The NIO ES6 has a length, width and height of 4850x1965x1731mm, and a wheelbase of 2900mm.

The length and wheelbase are both Landu FREE leading 50, 60mm. In terms of actual riding experience, in terms of head space and leg space, Landu FREE is about one or two fingers more than weilai ES6. Don't look at the difference, but it will still be slightly wider.

In terms of seats, Landu FREE adopts a leather/turned fur material mix-and-match package that has passed the EU OEKO-TEX eco-textile certification, equipped with electric adjustment and heating functions for the front seats, and has more ventilation and massage functions in the front seats, and the configuration is richer.

The NIO ES6 uses imitation leather wrapping, and the front seats are equipped with electric adjustment, heating and power seat memory functions.

The configuration is high and low, and it does not cost the money to choose the right one

Let's compare smart technology, luxury and security.

The interior of Landu FREE is more technological than the sense of technology. The instrument panel, the central control screen and the co-driver entertainment screen are integrated triple screen design, and the joint screen and the air conditioning outlets on both sides support automatic lifting, and the sense of ceremony is quite strong.

The interior design of WEILAI ES6 is more symmetrical, and the 11.3-inch central control screen is not big or small, and it is decent.

In terms of configuration, both vehicles are equipped with front-row wireless charging, voice recognition, vehicle networking, front-row multi-layer soundproof glass, etc.

However, Landu FREE has more gesture control and facial recognition functions, and is equipped with a higher sound effect and a higher-pressure Tanner sound system, which can completely hang the ordinary sound of the NIO ES6.

In addition, Lantu FREE also has a panoramic canopy with adjustable transmittance, NVS active night vision system and other configurations, which are all "fresh goods" at the same level and price.

Safety configuration, both vehicles are equipped with parallel assist, lane departure warning system and active braking. However, Landu FREE is equipped with lane keeping assistance, road traffic sign recognition, night vision system, reversing side warning, full-speed adaptive cruise and automatic parking entry.

If you choose NIO ES6 and want to configure no points, then you have to spend more money and add optional bags.

Luo Jiche Review:

After a full range of horizontal evaluation and comparison, the conclusion is obvious that Landu FREE is not only the threshold of the air suspension, more people-friendly and more humane than the WEILAI ES6, but also better in terms of body size, ride comfort, and technology luxury configuration performance.

It can be said that as a 300,000-level new energy vehicle, Lantu FREE has tried its best to meet the configuration functions that can be given to consumers, and achieved the best price ratio in the same level and price models.

Lu Fang, CEO of Lantu Automobile, said: "Lantu FREE is positioned as a 'performance-level intelligent electric SUV', and 'performance level' represents a full range of performance pursuits - electric drive performance, driving control performance, comfort performance, which is the perfect integration and high-level interpretation of the excellent performance of electric vehicles." ”

Che Toujun believes that Lantu FREE's original intention and sincerity to start from the needs of users, provide a travel experience far beyond the same level, and establish the value benchmark of the same level of SUVs will help its reputation to rise steadily.

It is believed that with the help of the good reputation of more users, the market performance of Lantu FREE will gradually enter a better state.
