In the high-end MPV camp, Buick GL8 and Toyota Alpha are undoubtedly the most familiar models, gl8 from Buick, in the price range of 300,000-500,000, has become the preferred car for many consumers, and the toyota Elfa, which is still in short supply, is the standard of many successful people. But today's new high-end MPV may become a fierce rival of the Buick GL8 and Toyota Alpha, which is the Lantu dreamer who positions medium and large MPVs. At present, the pre-sale price has been officially announced, of which the pre-sale price of the extended range/pure electric seven-seat version remains between 380,000 and 480,000 yuan, and the four-seat customized version is from 600,000 yuan, so how is the actual performance?
The first time I saw the Lantu Dreamer real car was at the Guangzhou Auto Show in November 2021, when I was attracted by the lantu dreamer's gas venue. In terms of the front face, personal feelings are also the places that best reflect the grade of Lantu's dreamers. The huge chrome forward grille occupies almost the entire front face, and the extended-range model and the pure electric model are divided into two types of mid-mesh designs, the former using a metallic cut-out design and the latter a closed mid-mesh design.
For the body side of the Lantu Dreamer, being big enough and stable enough has become a personal evaluation of it. The flat and stable line design, coupled with the superior size data of the same level, makes it have a proud enough aura. The length, width and height are 5315/1985/1820mm, and the wheelbase is 3200mm, which can be described as a complete surpass of the Buick GL8 through this dimensional analysis. Coupled with the 20-inch multi-spoke aluminum alloy wheels and a large number of chrome decorative strips, the visual effect is still quite in place.
In contrast, in the rear part of the car, the stability of the atmosphere has still become the main theme of the design of this Lantu dreamer. The straight body layout is in line with the positioning of its own positioning business MPV; the exquisite taillight combination, the outside side is also blackened, and it has a high degree of recognition after lighting. It is undeniable that lantu dreamer, as a new work, does not have much advantage in recognition compared to competitors such as buick GL8 and Toyota Alpha, but the aura is impeccable, and it is indeed its own plus, which also attracts the attention of some consumers who pursue grade and texture.
Friends who are familiar with Lantu FREE know that the screen has a lifting function as the biggest highlight of the interior, and it is undeniable that it has a full sense of ceremony, but there is no substantive function. Therefore, as the MPV's Lantu Dreamer, this gimmick is greater than the practical design. Of course, even so, the interior of Lantu Dreamer's luxurious sense of technology will still not let us pick out faults. The luxurious atmosphere is guaranteed by the three LCD displays that run across the center console, with a double-panel interior color scheme and a large area of soft materials wrapped in it. If you only look at the interior, it will even associate me with a million-dollar MPV. After all, even if the Toyota Alpha and Lantu Dreamer are better than the interior, there is no advantage at all.
The four-seat version is the ceiling model of the Lantu Dreamer, and its riding space and riding comfort naturally go without saying much. The rear row has been treated with the cockpit partition, so that the rear row has a relatively independent interior space, with massage heating and multi-directional adjustment of the electric leg rest, but also equipped with a smart TV system and starry sky top design, obviously in line with the high-end consumer requirements for the car. The other seven-seat version uses a regular seating layout of 2+2+3, and while ensuring the comfort of the ride, the trunk space is also very good, even if the third row is not put down, it can still put down four 24-inch suitcases at the same time.
In terms of hardware, I think it is also the most competitive place to compare with other competitors. Divided into pure electric drive and super range two kinds of hardware layout, the use of front and rear dual motor four-wheel drive, pure electric drive version can do 5.9 seconds to break the hundred, super program version can do 6.9 seconds to break the hundred, so that the business attribute of the Lantu dreamer, in fact, has not lost the performance of the sports coupe, which is really rare. In addition, because of the air suspension and CDC adjustable shock absorbers, the passage and riding comfort of the whole vehicle are also ensured to a large extent.
On the whole, through the above introduction to Lantu Dreamer, whether it is the most basic appearance aura, space, performance and price of high-end MPV, it has exceeded our expectations, and the original domestic MPV can also be so luxurious. I think that with the listing of Lantu Dreamer, it is expected to become a spoiler of the same level. After all, the product strength is not inferior to Toyota Alpha, and the pre-sale starting price of 380,000 yuan also adds chips to its future success. If it were you, would you consider this Lantu Dreamer?
