At the 2020 Beijing Auto Show, this is the first time we have seen today's protagonist - Lantu FREE, which was originally called iFREE, and the status of the concept car also amazed everyone, and many consumers are looking forward to the mass production and listing of the car. Then by the end of the year, Landu FREE had provided real cars for consumers and media to test drive, and the speed was staggering, which also showed the benefits of relying on Dongfeng Motor. Then in June 2021, Lantu Automobile announced the official launch of the first mass production model FREE, the official guidance price range of 313,600-36.36 million yuan, providing two versions of range extender and pure electric optional, the new car will be positioned in a medium and large 5-seat SUV, to meet the quality needs of more family of four.
Today we have the honor to experience the real car of the extended range version of the model, and let us share with you what is the best travel tool in the new era. The actual auction model is the 2021 four-wheel drive extended range version of the exclusive luxury suit, which can also be understood as the top of the extended range version, the guidance price is 333,600 yuan, if compared to the competitors, it still occupies a certain advantage, and the new car also has many highlights, with the initial pride of the same level of qualifications.
Without further ado, let's look at the design part first. There is no doubt that Lantu is a brand new brand, and it is taking the new energy route, and the sense of futurism is naturally the main theme. It is not difficult to see from the grille shape with folding angles at the front of the car, the designer took into account different angles, because from the front it is straight, but a slight side can see the folding line, and the sense of strength and lethality will also be improved, creating a strong sense of geometry. The regular shape of the headlight group on both sides is also hidden, such as the through-type LED strip and the brand logo can be lit at the same time, and there is no need to worry about recognition at night, while the headlight group is equipped with a matrix LED light source as standard, with rich practical functions such as adaptive far and near light.
As a medium and large SUV, the size performance of Landu FREE is also in line with the mainstream level, like the length, width and height of 4905 * 1950 * 1645mm, with a wheelbase of 2960mm, under the premise of providing only 5 seats, naturally do not need to worry about space. From the side shape point of view, the new car uses more flat straight lines outlined, in the crotch part of the waist line, there is a slight concave treatment, at this time with the black decoration on the lower edge of the door, the slender visual effect is better than the competitors. The 20-inch spoke wheels are also standard, similar to aircraft turbines, luxurious and sporty, and the specifications are in line with the body.
The tail design is not simply scrawled, and even here are the details that really experience it, because the designer said that the inspiration came from luxury yachts. Starting from the C-pillar, the rounded curve is undoubtedly a common technique used by yachts, and the black trim can also bring the effect of the enveloping rear windshield, revealing a hint of retro atmosphere. At the tail light group, the new car adopts the popular through-channel design, the internal structure is like an arrow feather, and the application of all-LED light source can naturally bring amazing visual effects.
If the appearance meets your needs for fashion and luxury, then the interior of the car is the key to showing you a sense of technology. The first is the hugging cockpit design concept, sitting in the car can feel the warmth of the face, while the color matching in the car is very elaborate, the actual shooting model is beige with brown collocation, in addition to the blue and white, black and blue two optional, each has a first-class sense of refinement, because the reach of the soft material cover. The place to create a sense of technology is the central control screen of the three-screen design, the size is 12.3 inches, and it supports flipping, including the air conditioning outlet can also be lifted and lowered, which is a surprise.
Let's talk about the configuration, like the domestic new energy models of the Level of Lantu FREE, basically apply all the functions that can be remembered at the moment. First look at the safety function, L2 level is not a problem, such as parallel line assist, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, full speed adaptive cruise and panoramic image are equipped, and even this high-end also has a night vision system, which can be described as comparable to millions. In terms of practical functions, with memory electric induction trunk, full car keyless entry, front mobile phone wireless charging, automatic anti-glare inner mirror and car fragrance system are also not absent, coupled with the front seat heating, ventilation and massage, as well as 10 speakers Danna sound system, the driving atmosphere is naturally no problem.
How does the spatial aspect perform? This actual measurement we got a set of more reference data, first of all, the test driver is 1.8 meters tall and weighs about 85kg, which is a relatively common figure. After the front seat is adjusted to sit, the head can still have more than one punch, and the seat wrapping and support are excellent, and the test driver said that it is like a large sofa. At this time into the rear row, the head space is about one punch, and the leg space is more than two punches, and the rear seat supports the human body well, and the long-distance driving will not feel too tired, but the rear seat has no comfort function, some regrets.
Finally, this set of extended range hybrid system, from the official data, the new car motor parameters and four-wheel drive pure electric version of the model is the same, are 510kW maximum power and 1040N · m maximum torque, but also an extra range extender motor, so the official 100 km acceleration time is also slightly faster, reaching 4.5 seconds. According to the performance point of view, this data is enough to beat other competitors, and in this actual test, it is shown that the new car can also obtain a good acceleration ability in the state of feeding, which is commendable, while the pure electric endurance is 140km, and the daily urban driving is naturally enough. In addition, the suspension part, the new car is also equipped with air suspension, supplemented by a variety of driving modes and four-wheel drive system, handling and comfort have also been improved.
