With the landing of the three-child policy and the increase in the number of members in the family, ordinary SUVs and cars can no longer meet the daily needs of this group of people, so we can see that the attention and sales of MPV models are rising day by day, and the emergence of many new models has enriched consumer choices. For Lantu Automobile, after the launch of its first model, Lantu FREE, we saw its new MPV model, which is the protagonist of this article - Lantu Dreamer.
Not long ago, Lantu Dreamer has announced its pre-sale price, of which the pre-sale price range of the extended-range version/ pure electric version of the seven-seat model is 380,000-480,000 yuan, while the pre-sale price of the four-seat customized version of the model is from 600,000 yuan. Today we will take a look at whether the extended range version of the Lantu Dreamer can give us enough surprises.

In terms of power, the pure electric version of Lantu Dreamer is equipped with dual motors, the maximum power is 320 kilowatts, the peak torque is 620 Nm, and the zero hundred acceleration is 5.9 seconds; and the extended range version of the model driven by this test drive is also a dual motor, with a maximum power of 290 kW, a peak torque of 610 Nm, and a zero hundred acceleration of 6.9 seconds, from its overall power parameters, the overall strength of the new car is at the superior level of the MPV model. In terms of suspension, the new car uses a combination of front double wishbone independent suspension and rear five linkage suspension, in addition, the Dreamer is also equipped with CDC shock absorption control system.
For a fully charged extender car, its power is completely unnecessary to worry about, in the case of non-intense driving, the dynamic performance of the Lantu Dreamer is the same as that of pure electric vehicles, completely relying on pure electric drive, and the power response of the acceleration pedal is also quite linear.
However, on this car, there is still a clear difference in the power feedback given by each driving mode. Personally, I feel that the power performance of the whole vehicle in the comfort mode is still very pleasing to the passengers in the car, and the acceleration performance that follows the pedaling does not have an excessive power response, which can fully ensure the riding comfort of the passengers in the car.
In high-energy mode, the power response of the Lantu Dreamer's accelerator pedal will be further improved, and the damping feedback of the suspension will also be different from the performance in comfort mode, and when you step on the acceleration pedal a little deeper, you will wake up a strong enough power.
The front double wishbone independent suspension on the Lando Dreamer is still relatively rare in the MPV model, because the most widely used McPherson independent suspension is the most widely used in many models in the same class.
The combination of the independent suspension of the front double wishbone and the suspension of the rear five connecting rods, as well as the CDC shock absorption control system, gives the vehicle a more comfortable dynamic driving performance. In the handling of small bumps, Lantu Dreamer can perfectly resolve the vibration caused by bumps. When passing through a high-altitude speed reduction belt, there will be a slight bounce, but it can still ensure the overall riding comfort.
In terms of NVH, the overall performance of The Lantu Dreamers is still relatively excellent. The double-layer laminated glass in the front row further optimizes the excess wind noise when the vehicle is driving dynamically, and when the speed is after 110km/h, due to the more obvious "wind collision" effect of the faster vehicle, there will be some wind noise generated on the A-pillar.
For range extender cars, many friends are concerned about whether the range extender will produce a large noise after working. For this phenomenon, the lantu dreamer's treatment is still quite in place, when the lantu dreamer's range extender works, there will be no obvious noise transmitted to the car, if it is not the driver through the steering wheel slight vibration and careful listening, it is difficult to detect the work of the range extender.

From the front face, the new car uses a large straight waterfall type mesh grid, and almost all of them are decorated with chrome trim, which is very luxurious. Coupled with the through-line day running light design and sharp bumper shape, the front of the car is very powerful.
The length, width and height of the Dreamer are 5315/1985/1820mm, the wheelbase is 3200mm, which is very exaggerated in terms of body size, larger than the medium and large MPVs such as Elfa, and the wheelbase is also longer, so in terms of space and momentum, the Lantu Dreamer is not afraid of any opponent.
The tail of the Dreamer adopts a relatively straight line design, and the through-type silver decorative strips introduced by the side part of the car and the black paint give the whole car a higher sense of high-end, it is worth mentioning that the broken diamond taillights have a high degree of recognition after being lit.
The most attractive thing about Lantu Dreamer is the design of the vehicle interior. The sense of technology and comfort of the interior has become very powerful because of the addition of hardware configuration, and in this test drive, the combination of beige and gray colors makes the interior of the vehicle look more advanced. The three display screens embedded in the center console give the vehicle a higher sense of technology.
Dreamer canceled the lifting screen function on Lantu FREE, and equipped with the Qualcomm 8155 chip, which is quite advanced at this stage, and the overall display clarity and touch response are the mainstream level. Whether it is the instrument, or the entertainment screen of the middle or co-pilot, the overall UI design is fresh and elegant, and the functional area is also very convenient to tap.
For an MPV model, riding space and ride comfort are the original intentions of many consumers to buy a car, and what kind of performance can this dreamer have? Let's take a look.
The Lantu Dreamer adopts a 2+2+3 seat layout, and has the best performance of its class on its seat fabric and the padding inside. However, in terms of the overall riding experience, this set of seats is not too soft type, so it does not feel particularly tired after a long ride. In terms of seat functions in the second row, the test drive was equipped with seat ventilation, seat heating and massage functions.
The double-sided electric sliding door and the small table board in the rear row appeared on the model of this test drive without accident.
In terms of seating space, the experiencer in the picture is 178cm, and the overall space performance is still quite excellent under the condition that the front and rear seats are adjusted to a fixed position. It is worth praising that the overall space performance of the third row of the vehicle, due to the longer body size and more reasonable seat layout, makes the third row no longer a function for emergency use, and in terms of real riding, comfort and space performance will not be greatly reduced.
Thanks to the large space size, the storage performance of the trunk of the vehicle has a good performance, after the third row of seats are receded, the storage space will be further enlarged, but in the fly in the ointment is that after the seat is receded, there will still be a certain bulge inside the trunk.
#编辑总结
From the perspective of the dynamic performance of the vehicle, the overall configuration and product type, the Lantu Dreamer seems to be a quite unique model in the MPV market, why do you say so? From a traditional point of view, there are not many models with such a high configuration and many high-tech configurations integrated into the MPV, coupled with the attributes of the extended range car and the pre-price of 380,000 yuan, so that the car can not find a very matching opponent at this stage. As of press time, we have learned that this car will be officially launched on May 7, and when it is officially launched, will it give us more surprises in terms of price? Let's wait and see.
