Since the liberalization of the three-child policy, the MPV market has been like a squid on an iron plate – rolled up.
Toyota Xena, Kia Jawa, Hyundai Kustu, Buick GL8, Honda Odyssey, SAIC Maxus G90... This year's MPV market is comparable to the team battle scene in the game, but compared with the two segments of SUVs and cars, the MPV market still lacks new energy models to disrupt the situation.
Therefore, some time ago, once the Lantu Dreamer was listed, the order volume exceeded 3,000 units within 3 days. It should be known that the cumulative sales of Lantu's other medium-sized SUV, Lantu FREE, in 2022 is only 2293.
However, due to the impact of the epidemic, Lantu officially announced that the Lantu Dreamer, which was scheduled to be officially listed in late April, will be postponed to the listing of mid-May.
There is a saying in football: "You stop, but your opponents will not".
The same is true for today's car market. As a direct competitor of Lantu Dreamer, Denza recently announced through the official Weibo that its first high-end MPV is named "D9", and the new car will be delivered in the second half of this year, which means that the two cars will be facing each other.
There is information about Lantu Dreamer and Denza D9, AutoLab has followed up at the first time, here I will not repeat it, interested partners can click on the following article link.
Denza announces new car plans, high-end MPV is coming?
Lantu Dreamer opened pre-sale, is the MPV of new energy worth buying?
Without further ado, let's go straight to the comparison chart of the two models:
Since the MPV has been sold for 400,000, D9 and Dreamer obviously have their own killer skills.
There are already test drive dreamers focusing on power performance, after all, it weighs up to 2500kg, which is hundreds of kilograms heavier than both the GL8 and Alpha.
How to maintain control at large weights? The solution given by the dreamer is to use a dual motor electric four-wheel drive to eliminate the feeling of a big car. As can be seen from the zero-hundred-speed acceleration data, the time required for dreamers is almost half of the mainstream MPV on the market.
And the Dreamer is the only model in the same price range that supports CDC's adjustable shock absorption with front and rear air suspension, and it also tries its best to balance in terms of comfort.
Due to the limited information currently disclosed by D9, it can be seen that the biggest advantage of D9 is that under the power of DM, the endurance of more than 1000 kilometers and the intelligent driving solution equipped with Momenta are realized.
Since I'm not an audience for MPV, I interviewed friends with kids or bosses with business needs around me and found that their needs for MPV are actually very different.
For home MPV, the first thing that needs to be guaranteed is that the space is large, the endurance is long, the safety is high enough, compared to the business crowd, the price is still more sensitive. For business purposes, appearance, second-row comfort, and silence are the first few factors to consider.
Obviously, the pre-sale price of Dreamer 380,000-600,000 is also aimed at the above multiple levels of user needs, ordinary business reception can choose the entry version of 380,000, home users with higher requirements for configuration choose 480,000 in the middle, and high-end business reception chooses 600,000 four-seat customized version.
Although the D9 did not announce the specific price, it is expected that there will be a small table board and an independent smart screen in the middle row, which supports business projection screens, and Zhao Changjiang, general manager of the Denza Sales Division, previously revealed that the starting price of D9 should be 450,000 yuan, which shows that the target is the high-end business market.
Whether it is household or commercial, one of the factors they jointly mentioned is the brand, which is the biggest trump card in the hands of Denza, after all, in the field of new energy, what is more convincing than BYD, which sells 100,000 a month?
