Boss! This is your dream car

What exactly is an MPV? An oversized cup car, or a car for business reception or family travel?

Compared with the wide variety and fierce competition in the sedan and SUV markets, the MPV market has always been a niche existence. So is there a market for an electric smart MPV?

The Evergreen Buick GL8 has been rampant for many years, the appearance has not changed much, but the heat has not decreased, but it feels more like a company reception car; the newly arrived Toyota Syna, who wants to become a happy car for the family, although it is famous, was hated by the market at the beginning because of the "price increase".

From 2022 onwards, the MPV market has become the focus of mainstream car companies, Dongfeng Lantu, BYD Denza and Geely Extreme Kr have begun to prepare to release new MPV products, which has also brought small changes to this market, that is, electrification and intelligence.

From the user's point of view, whether it is a company reception or a family car, as the target user of the MPV, the "boss" with dreams, what kind of dream car does it need?

The first to appear in the new MPV era is Dongfeng Lantu, which shows the latest development trend of MPV: 17 MPV first-in-class technologies, 21 leading technologies of the same level, positioning the "dreamers" of the two major luxury market segments of home and commercial, directly bringing the MPV market into a new field of electrification and intelligence.

On May 7, known as the "world's first electric luxury MPV", Dongfeng Lantu's Dreamer was officially listed.

Lantu Dreamer has two kinds of power, extended range hybrid and pure electric, launched seven "dream", "think", "home" three versions, the price range of 369,900 yuan to 439,900 yuan, there is a four-seat private customized version, priced at 639,900 yuan, the new car will be officially delivered in the third quarter.

As an electric MPV, the electric drive is what distinguishes it from other competitors.

The low-carbon version (extended range hybrid) is equipped with a 1.5T engine and a ternary lithium battery, which accelerates by 6.6 seconds per 100 kilometers, the CLTC has a pure electric cruising range of 82 kilometers, the total cruising range of the WLTC is 750 kilometers, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is 1.99L.

The 0 carbon version (pure electricity) is equipped with a caterary lithium battery in the Ningde era, which accelerates by 5.8 seconds to 100 kilometers, and the CLTC has a cruising range of 475km and 605km.

The low-carbon version of Lantu Dreamer brings the power equivalent to a 3.0T engine, but only the fuel consumption of a 1.2T engine; the 0 carbon version accelerates 5.8 seconds from 100 kilometers and supports 230kW fast charging.

Does an MPV model need to be electrified? Maybe saving a little fuel money is not important to the boss; does an MPV model need to pursue 100 km acceleration performance? Maybe driving an MPV to drag racing is a novelty.

The electric drive coupled with more than 80 sound insulation and noise reduction designs of the whole vehicle brings a deep-sea-level silent effect to the Lantu Dreamers, creating a quiet and comfortable interior space.

Is this the cultivation that an MPV should have?

Of course, only electric drives are not enough, and a new era MPV is bound to be the tide of smart cars.

Don't tell me that the car driven by the driver is not intelligent, after all, the driver's mood is directly related to the comfort of the journey, and even the safety of driving.

When it comes to safety, this is the foundation of a car and the minimum requirement.

In terms of hard, Lantu Dreamer uses ultra-70% high-strength steel for all vehicles to create an ultra-high-strength cage cockpit skeleton for all vehicle users, while the first 1500MPa thermoformed high-strength steel battery pack bottom guard plate brings a full-scene battery safety protection system.

On the soft side, in addition to the L2+ autopilot assistance system, there are active safety technologies such as fatigue driving monitoring and night vision systems.

Electric, comfortable, safe, this is the strength that an MPV that wants to lead the market should have, but for the Lantu Dreamer, it must also be a smart MPV.

When cars are like smartphones, they can achieve functional and performance improvements through continuous upgrades of OTAs, while catching up with chips and computing power has become one of the signs of whether a car can keep up with the times.

Behind the 1.4-meter through-type intelligent triple screen, Lantu Dreamer took the lead in carrying qualcomm 8155 flagship car chip, and in addition to the smoothness of the electric drive system, the intelligent experience is also smooth and smooth.

26 advanced driver assistance systems, including automatic lane change with turn signals, automatic parking in all scenarios and remote remote parking, make this MPV armed from hardware to software to teeth.

The visible and tangible exterior and interior design, as well as the comfort of the smart cockpit, are largely the greatest embodiment of personal preferences.

Lantu Dreamer's 3200mm ultra-long wheelbase, MPV for the first time equipped with air suspension, aluminum alloy front double wishbones + rear five-link chassis, central control triple screen, large and super storage space, and zero gravity wide seat, these data and hardware stacking, from the text point of view has appeared tall, but all this can only be personally experienced, can deeply appreciate the extraordinary sound it brings.

In addition to safety and comfort, electric, luxurious and smart, the Lantu Dreamer has transformed the MPV, no longer the Buick GL8 or Honda Odyssey you are familiar with.

Lantu Dreamer seems to be a Tesla electric intelligent MPV or a luxury MPV model of luxury car companies such as BBA, but this electric, intelligent and luxurious MPV is built by Lantu Automobile, a subsidiary of Dongfeng Motor Group.

The leading advantage of China's auto industry in the new era has begun to extend to the MPV segment, and the Lantu Dreamer is the first electric intelligent luxury MPV, but it will not be the only one.

This market will eventually usher in the moment of Chinese automobiles, which is the improvement of brand influence and the rapid update and iteration of products, and it is also a new choice for user car demand.

Lu Fang, CEO and CTO of Lantu Automobile, wants every car owner to become the MVP on the MPV. Back to the title, Boss, what's your dream? Is this Dreamer the dream car that carries the dream?
