MPV benchmark new energy challenger Lantu Dreamer compared buick GL8

Whose seats are more comfortable and more spacious?

However, for MPV models, seat softness, richness of comfort and detailing will all affect the ride experience. In terms of actual riding space, due to the inability to unify factors such as the height and weight of the experiencer, the following effect is for reference only.

1. Lantu Dreamer seat comfort & riding performance:

The material this dreamer is really heavy, the car uses a lot of leather wrapping, the front seats are wide and thick, the padding is soft and moderate, and the support for the legs and waist is relatively in place.

The configuration of the second row of seats is a highlight of the Dreamer, in addition to supporting seat ventilation, heating, and massage. There are also electric leg rests and electric backrest adjustments, and the seat headrests also use aviation headrests to support the adjustment of the side wing angle.

The second row of seats is also equipped with a small foldable table board in front of it, which can be fully received in the backrest when not in use, which is very practical. In addition, the Dreamer is also equipped with a USB-A interface, a USB-C interface and a 12V cigarette lighter interface for the second row of passengers behind the central control platform, and a USB-A interface is also configured on the second row of seats to charge digital products.

Like many MPV of the same class, the Dreamer's third row seats are not heated, ventilated, etc. But the padding is sufficient to ride comfortably, while each seat is equipped with a cup holder and a USB port for easy charging of the phone.

It is worth mentioning that the Dreamer also offers a four-seat version of the model. Two independent zero-pressure aerial massage seats at the rear with electric leg rests and multi-directional electrical adjustment. In addition, the rear armrest box of the four-seat version of the model is also placed in the Xiaoice box, and is equipped with a car smart TV, providing a starry sky roof and other configurations, and the experience of honor is absolutely incomparable to the seven-seat version of the model.

2. Buick GL8 seat comfort & ride performance:

Buick GL8 offers 4-seater, 6-seater and 7-seater versions for consumers to choose from. In addition, the Avenir version is available in 4-seater and 6-seater models, and the ES version is a 7-seater model in all series. Let's first talk about the 7-seat version of the model, the GL8 is equipped with aviation seats from the luxury type, and with electric leg rests and electric adjustment functions, the overall rear atmosphere and comfort are better. However, the front and rear movement is not electric, but presses and holds the button, and the support force of the leg pushes the seat open, and the distance of movement is completely controlled by the leg, which is a bit of a violation of the sense of honor in the rear row.

It is worth mentioning that both models are equipped with a welfare version, and the focus of the welfare version is the welfare chair on the right side of the second row, which can extend out of the car and reduce the height of the seat, and complete the action of getting on the car outside the car, which is definitely a big blessing for people with limited mobility.

Finally, talk about the trunk space of the two cars, refer to the data, although the overall size of the Dreamer is more dominant, but the conventional size performance of the trunk is not ideal, the depth is not much different from the Buick GL8, and the vertical height is also smaller than the GL8. To be honest, it is acceptable that the vertical height is not high, after all, the rear of the car is equipped with an empty suspension and a motor, but the depth does not play an advantage because of the longer body or a little regret.

Whose house looks better?

A showdown between luxury and business

From the appearance of the design, the overall shape of the Lantu Dreamer will be more atmospheric and luxurious, while the Buick GL8 maintains the calm side of the business MPV. As for which one looks better, it is a matter of wisdom.

Whose cockpit is smarter?

As a positioning luxury MPV, Lantu Dreamer feels a bit at cost in the use of materials, using a large number of leather packages, the center console, the inside of the door panel needless to say, even if it is not common inside the tailgate, both sides of the trunk are the same, the sense of luxury and the creation of a scientific and technological atmosphere is strong enough.

The Buick GL8 uses a very popular young design language, such as the central control of the large joint screen, bringing a stronger sense of technology. Of course, if you have higher requirements for a luxurious atmosphere, consider the Avenir version, the atmosphere created by the white interior is quite comfortable.

The interior of the two cars is quite interesting, but in terms of intelligence, the design of the Lantu Dreamer triple screen is indeed eye-catching, and the degree of intelligence of the entire carriage is more worthy of recognition than the Buick GL8.

Who has more configurations?

Whether you want to buy a family dad car or an official car, the configuration will be the place where consumers consider. Below, we have selected two models with similar prices for comparison.

Two-car power/ride performance

As can be seen from the above data table, the performance of the Lantu Dreamer in terms of power can be said to crush the Buick GL8, which is almost the only MPV model in the same class that adopts the form of four-drive force, with air suspension, which means that the car will have better passability in special road conditions such as snow and non-paved roads.

Since we have not yet test-drove the Lando Dreamer, the following is only available for the buick GL8 ES' ride performance:

First of all, lightly step on the accelerator to start, the posture of the whole car is very stable, but at the same time there will be no hesitation that some large cars will have, everything comes naturally. Even if your throttle opening and closing gradually increases, the posture of the whole car is still flat and stable. Even if you are alone in the car and want to step on the throttle to test the strength of this power system, it still behaves as steady as Tarzan. Although the feeling of pushing back can't give you, this power combination pulls the 2-ton GL8 ES is more than enough, and it is easy to make a overtaking action in the middle and rear.

Not only is the accelerator pedal adjusted lighter, but the brake pedal is also tuned in the same way. The specific performance is that it has a certain virtual position in the front section, and then as the brake continues to step deeply, its braking force will be strengthened at a constant ratio, the output braking force is very linear, and the foot feeling of the braking process is also excellent. Personal speculation is that this brake tuning of the Buick GL8 ES is to reduce a forward inertia generated during the braking process, affecting the comfort of the internal passengers. In general, this adjustment of the throttle and brake is to ensure that passengers do not have the feeling of "front servant and backward".

The new generation gl8 ES is equipped with a HYDROA-MATIC 9-speed manual transmission, and the acceleration process of the whole vehicle shows a smooth side, even if the driver will feel a slight shift at low speeds (about 2 and 3rd gears), but for the passengers in the rear two rows, this intrusion is almost negligible. The style of this gearbox for everyday life belongs to the pursuit of economy and comfort. When you really need power, the gearbox can recognize your intentions in time, and downshift (or down several gears in a row) to keep the speed as close as possible to the range of four or five thousand revolutions.

Buick GL8 ES chassis in the face of some of the larger impact and vibration from the road surface, can be easily filtered out, even if the body has a little vibration, it is only a normal vertical direction, horizontal that kind of unnecessary shaking will not appear. In addition, many people think that the GL8 will have a "boat" feeling, that is, when the body is driving on the road, the body will have a slight up and down shaking, if your passengers are more likely to get motion sickness at this time, it may be a little uncomfortable for them, but the new generation of GL8 ES will maintain a parallel to the road driving state, there is no floating feeling in the past.

In addition, good sound insulation is also a big selling point of GL8, many MPV by its body layout, road noise will become very large, and GL8 ES in this part of the sound insulation is a good way to open them up. In everyday driving, the noise from the road surface is almost negligible, with the CC6 playing a key role. When it comes to high-speed driving, the wind noise in the outside world can be suppressed in place, and it will basically not affect the conversation of the people in the car. To say that the sound insulation is insufficient, it is a double-layer glass and active noise reduction function, I hope that manufacturers can keep up in the future.

Summary of the full text

At present, in the electric MPV segment, consumer choices are not many, and Lantu Dreamer is a strong and powerful player. In addition to its luxury, rich configuration and other characteristics, it also has one of the biggest advantages is the four-wheel drive system and strong acceleration performance, but for business or home-oriented potential consumers, how important is this advantage? On the other hand, the Buick GL8 has been the boss of MPV for so long, it is already a household name model, and it has withstood the test of the market, after all, sales say it all. Therefore, for now, Lantu Dreamer still needs to accept the test of consumers in the early stage, if the product force is indeed hard enough, it will become the benchmark of the new energy MPV market. As for the two models, how to choose? I think you should have the answer in your heart. (Photo/Text/Photo: Pacific Auto Network Uchiha Min)
