In recent years, independent brands have risen rapidly in the field of new energy, and there is a trend of "corner overtaking". Domestic cars have also gradually been favored by consumers with their excellent performance, stylish design and reasonable price. A friend asked if there is a budget of about 250,000 yuan and wants to buy a new energy SUV with large space, strong power and rich configuration, is there any model you can recommend?
New LANTO FREE
Lynk & Co 08 EM-P
In fact, there are still many models to choose from in this price range, and I personally think that the new Lantu FREE and Lynk & Co 08 EM-P are more qualified. First of all, the two cars belong to new energy SUVs, and in terms of price, the official guide price of the new VOYAH FREE 2024 ultra-long endurance intelligent driving version is 266,900, and the Lynk & Co 08 EM-P currently has 5 models on sale, with a guide price range of 208,800~288,000, of which the official guide price of the Lynk & Co 08 EM-P 2023 220 four-wheel drive performance Halo is 258,800.

The Lynk & Co 08 EM-P 2023 220 four-wheel drive performance Halo terminal is discounted by 10,000 yuan, and the price after the discount is 248,800 yuan (consult local dealers for details). In this way, the price of the two cars is relatively similar, both within 250,000 yuan, so which of these two cars is more suitable for your liking? Let's continue to look down.
First of all, from the perspective of exterior design, the new VOYAH FREE adopts a relatively sharp line outline, which has a certain sense of power. At the front, the large-size grille is matched with a sharp headlight cluster, which has a strong visual impact. On the side of the body, the smooth waistline runs through the front and rear, and the large wheels create a nice sporty atmosphere.
Looking at the Lynk & Co 08 EM-P adopts a simple and fashionable design style, the body lines are simple, and the daytime running lights and taillights on the front face are more recognizable. In general, the two cars have their own advantages in terms of exterior design, the new VOYAH FREE has a certain sense of power and looks more atmospheric, while the Lynk & Co 08 EM-P is more refined and stylish.
In terms of interior, the new VOYAH FREE is wrapped in soft materials, with exquisite stitching technology, with a good texture, and with the blessing of 64-color interior ambient lights, it creates a relatively warm driving environment. The layout of the center console is reasonable, the operation is also more convenient, and the triple screen design that runs through the center console is also eye-catching, including a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument screen, a 12.3-inch central control screen and a 12.3-inch co-pilot entertainment screen, which has a certain visual impact and a strong scientific and technological atmosphere.

In fact, for the family, the riding space of the two cars is relatively spacious, the 175cm tall experiencer sits in the back row (the front row maintains the normal driving sitting posture), can be more relaxed to Erlang's legs, even if the seat is full, it will not feel crowded, the overall riding space is more comfortable, but because the new Lantu FREE body length is 85mm more, the width is 35mm more, and the wheelbase is 112mm more, the riding space is still larger.
Finally, let's take a look at the dynamics parameters of both cars. The new VOYAH FREE is equipped with a 1.5T engine as a range extender, mated to dual front and rear motors. Its system has a combined power of 360 kilowatts, a comprehensive torque of up to 720 Nm, an acceleration time of 4.8 seconds per 100 km, and a fuel consumption of 6.69L per 100 km.

In addition, from the perspective of cruising range, it is relatively close, and the pure electric mode can be used for daily commuting, which reduces energy consumption, and there will be no range anxiety problem for long-distance travel.
