At present, with the promotion of the "double carbon" strategy, the enhancement of people's awareness of environmental protection, and the improvement of China's consumption level, automotive products and technologies have ushered in a comprehensive transformation and upgrading, and the trend of electrification and intelligence is more obvious, so it has also filled the entire automotive field with racing and breakthroughs. From the perspective of business travel and family travel, the demand for the MPV market has gradually heated up in the past two years, but the mainstream MPV market has basically been occupied by joint venture models and imported mark-up models for a long time. Therefore, an MPV that meets the needs of family economic travel and can enjoy high-end quality is the most suitable.
In this context, as a high-end electric vehicle brand, Lantu is taking a step ahead in this race, finding the evolution direction of MPV, and launching Lantu Dreamer, which not only enriches the product matrix of Lantu's high-end new energy, but also fills the market gap of domestic high-end new energy MPV. So, what are the hard core strengths of the dreamers, let's take a closer look at this car through the dynamic experience.
As the second blockbuster product of Lantu Automobile and the first MPV model, the Dreamer still continues the family-style luxury yacht design concept in terms of exterior design, and the whole car looks full of noble and advanced.
The polygonal grille area is very large, occupying almost the entire front face. The straight waterfall grille is inlaid with just the right amount of chrome trim, further maximizing the luxurious aura of this medium and large MPV. Since the vehicle for this shooting is an extended range version of the model, the grille and the vents on both sides are designed with opening holes.
The front-through daytime running lights perfectly combine the sense of technology and aesthetic design, coupled with the dynamic and luminous brand LOGO, which can not only make the visual effect of the front face more outstanding, but also make the dreamer look very young, completely without the "greasy feeling" of the MPV model.
The overall design of the body side is relatively square, and the side windows of the front, middle and rear rows are very large, and even the passengers in the third row will have a good view. The relatively straight waistline, coupled with the chrome trim at the door border and the side skirt, is not only more layered and more refined, but also outlined the L-shaped silhouette that also makes the body look very slender and has a strong aura.
The front and rear integrated door handles not only do not destroy the design aesthetics of the side, but also look very advanced with chrome strips. In terms of configuration, the whole series is equipped with functions such as keyless entry and electric sliding door as standard, which is beyond doubt and has a good experience.
The 20-inch multi-spoke rim is special, like the shape of a turbofan, and all of them are chrome-plated, presenting a high-grade and elegant visual effect. The vehicle is equipped with the horse brand UtraContact UC6 series tires, which combine silent comfort with handling performance, while the tires are available in 255/50 R20.
Compared with the front face, the rear design can be said to be quite simple, and the square tail shape is the standard MPV style. The taillight design is still very innovative, although it does not use the popular through-through design, but it is very delicate in both the details and the overall effect. If you look closely, you can see that the LED light belt has a design similar to a broken diamond, especially at night, the lighting effect is excellent, and it has a high degree of recognition. In addition, the suspension roof, the protruding spoiler above, and the design of the bumper area below further add to the sporty atmosphere of the rear.
Since dreamer is positioned as a high-end luxury electric MPV, it is not only suitable for business travel in multiple dimensions such as intelligence, experience, and scenario, but also to meet the needs of family cars.
In terms of cockpits, the dreamers are inspired by the design of the yacht cockpit, the center console is all wrapped in delicate leather where the naked eye is visible, and the details are also inlaid with chrome decorative strips to enhance the sophistication of the interior. In addition, the light-colored interior not only makes the interior look luxurious and classy, but also visually gives people a very wide effect.
In addition, what makes people shine is the integrated triple screen design on the center console, the three screens are seamlessly connected together, looking exaggerated and full of technology. In addition, the circular device on the center console is actually a gesture recognition module and a fatigue driving detection camera, and the passengers in the car can control the telephone answering or rejecting according to the gesture, and at the same time, they can also take selfies.
The three large screens have good fluency and realistic effects, and each performs its own duties. On the left is a full LCD dashboard, which displays functions such as car and machine systems, navigation, air conditioning, intelligent speech recognition, vehicle settings, and 5G car networking in the middle. On the right is the entertainment system screen for the co-pilot passengers, through this 12.3-inch touch screen, the co-pilot passengers can watch videos, listen to music and even play games online through the 5G network, for the current young people, as long as there is a network, even if the road is far away, it will not feel difficult. At the same time, Dreamer also supports the iterative upgrading of vehicle OTA, which can ensure that the vehicle and machine system is often used and updated.
The vehicle-machine system is equipped with the industry-leading Qualcomm 8155 flagship on-board chip, which has the advantages of stronger computing power and faster response speed. With the blessing of the chip, the fluency of the car machine system has been greatly improved. But then again, although the central control screen can highlight the sense of grade and technology, it looks very "intimidating", but in daily driving, in addition to navigation, music, reversing images and some vehicle configurations, many functions seem to be used Less likely. And there are more functions, the operation of the car machine system is relatively complex, and the decoration is much higher than the practicality.
Below the central control, the car is equipped with a front-row dual-zone automatic air conditioning control panel, but there is no obvious sound feedback when the touch button is touched, which is very inconvenient for the driver to adjust the air volume and temperature during the driving process.
Comfort can be said to be the top priority of testing an MPV, because whether the car is ridden by family or partners, if you want to ride with high comfort, the space performance of the vehicle must be in place, especially whether the rear space is sufficient or not is crucial to the comfort of the ride, and the comfortable experience of the Lantu Dreamer first comes from its wide space. In terms of size, its length, width and height reached 5315 * 1985 * 1820mm, and the wheelbase was 3200mm; excellent spatial data not only had obvious advantages over the mainstream MPV currently on the market, but also made the front, middle and rear rows of this car have a very abundant space performance.
The first-class seats are standard for the whole series, the front seat configuration is rich enough, the seats not only have good wrapping and support, but also support multi-directional electric adjustment, heating, ventilation, massage and other functions, to meet the individual needs of passengers for sitting posture and temperature, and also effectively alleviate the fatigue caused by long-term rides.
The second row of seats in the car is one of the most prominent designs of the Lantu Dreamer. Seat configurations are also readily available, with comfort features such as seat heating, ventilation, massage, leg rests and more. Since the seat back angle and leg rest are electrically adjustable, the second row of seats is also equipped with a button to restore the normal sitting posture. Not only that, the second row also provides more humanized configurations, such as hidden small table boards, independent air conditioning control panels in the rear row, power interface, "boss" button, etc., so that the ride comfort reaches full points.
Thanks to the excellent wheelbase performance, the spaciousness of the third row of seats does not seem cramped. Moreover, the interior padding of the seat is soft and hard, and the seat cushion is relatively thick, so that even if the passengers ride for a long time, the comfort will not be too bad. In addition, the three rows also provide power connectors, air conditioning outlets and cup holders to meet the needs of passengers.
The storage space in the car is also very comprehensive, and personal belongings such as water glasses, mobile phones, card bags, books and so on can be obtained. In regular mode, the trunk can easily accommodate outdoor activity items such as folding chairs, tents, barbecue grills, picnic mats, and strollers.
Although the third row of seats supports proportional reclining, it cannot form a flat state with the trunk floor, and there is a large bulge at the base of the seat. However, after the seat is reclined, the storage space in the trunk is further expanded, and it is possible to hold luggage items of different sizes.
In terms of power, Lantu Dreamer provides two power systems at the same time, the extended range version and the pure electric version, and the whole series is equipped with high-power dual motors and intelligent four-wheel drive solutions as standard. The test-driven Super Extender model is equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder fuel range extender with a maximum total power of 290 kW and a total torque of 610 N·m. The official announcement of the Lantu Dreamer has a zero-hundred-and-hundred acceleration of 6.9 seconds, which is good enough for a medium-sized MPV weighing nearly 2.5 tons.
In the transmission system, this Lantu Dreamer adopts a single-speed fixed gear ratio gearbox commonly used in new energy models, and adopts the form of electronic gear. In terms of chassis, the Lantu Dreamer uses the front double wishbone independent suspension and the rear multi-link independent suspension. It is worth mentioning that the test drive is also equipped with air suspension with soft and hard adjustment and height adjustment functions, as well as CDC shock absorption control system, which is definitely the leading technology in its class.
The reaction of the accelerator pedal in the starting stage of the vehicle will be slightly slower, which also leaves the driver with a preparatory process, otherwise there will be a feeling of vertigo when accelerating sharply. The original output mode of new energy vehicles is more direct than that of fuel vehicles, and the power output of vehicles is very linear, and it feels very brisk after driving. Coupled with a torque output of 610N·m, deep acceleration pedals, and with it comes a powerful acceleration and a strong sense of pushback.
In addition, the car offers a variety of driving modes, and the chassis will change significantly in different modes. Generally driving in the urban road section, switch to the comfort mode or economic mode on it, the suspension will be adjusted to a moderate height, the feedback of the road sense is softer. However, the suspension damping of the first half of the suspension will have excess jumping when passing some large bumps, and there will be a feeling of flickering in the car.
When switching to high-energy mode, the air suspension will automatically lower the body, at this time the road surface brings a very rich sense of road, steering and chassis feedback are relatively light, will not affect the comfort of the ride. If driving on rough roads, the air suspension will also adjust the ground clearance of the body to make the vehicle pass better.
The steering of the steering wheel is light and precise, and the vehicle can maintain a certain degree of tracking when passing through the corners; but due to the higher and heavier influence of the body, the vehicle will have a significant roll when cornering at high speed.
The Lantu Dreamer is also rich enough in terms of intelligent driving assistance, including adaptive cruise, lane keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, parallel assist and other functions, whether it is commuting in the city or driving on high speeds, these functions are very practical.
The whole vehicle has excellent performance in sound insulation and noise reduction, which is in line with the positioning of "high-end luxury". Lantu Dreamers use multi-layer soundproof glass on the window, and also adopt a low wind noise modeling design in the design, and the horse brand tires also play a certain noise reduction effect.
First of all, the Lantu Dreamer not only has a high passability that leads the same level, but also has a very wide space in the car while easily coping with various road conditions; secondly, the vehicle also has both handling and stability, bringing a comfortable driving experience to the whole family. Not only that, the car is equipped with a wealth of humanized configuration and intelligent technology configuration, which can not only take care of the needs of the whole family to travel, but also bring a safer, more worry-free and more convenient driving experience for travel, so that users can travel without worries.
