Lantu Free+ dynamic test drive: solid chassis and excellent intelligence – Passionategeekz –

[CNMO Technology]Last month, we statically experienced Lantu Free+. At that time, I was deeply impressed by the space and intelligent performance of this car. At that time, I was looking forward to its running experience, because Lantu Free+ has unique competitiveness, and Lantu + Huawei’s dual tags are easy for users to remember. Recently, we finally got a test drive to Lantu Free+. After the experience, we have many surprises. Let’s share with you today. Of course, with the progress of dynamic test drives, this also indicates that the new car will be launched soon, and the final price at that time is expected to bring surprises to everyone.

Let’s first briefly review the appearance and styling design of Lantu Free+. Lantu Free+ is positioned as a medium and large SUV, with a length, width and height of 4915mm x 1960mm x 1660mm, and a wheelbase of 2960mm, which has excellent overall space performance. The front face has a design of a luminous grille for the city starry sky. It has a very high recognition whether it is day or night. It is paired with a luminous logo and has very strong personalized attributes. The only four-electric suction door design in the same class is standard, making every door closing more elegant. Once this function has been used for a long time, it is easy to get used to it. When you open a car model without electric door function, the door will often not be closed.

In the car, the Lantu Free+ series comes with the only 7L super large capacity cooling and cooling box in the same class, with cooling being -6℃ to 15℃ and heating being 30℃ to 50℃. During this test drive, the heating and cooling box played a very important role, because the average temperature has been around 35℃ recently, so every time I get off the car, I feel sweaty all over. At this time, take out a bottle of ice American or mineral water from the refrigerator, and it is really a great time to take it in one bite. Whether in winter or summer, the Lantu Free+ is really a treasure. Moreover, the test drive was a big sun. Although the Lantu Free+ is a super-large panoramic skylight, it comes with an electric sunshade, so there is no need to worry about sunshine in the car.

In terms of suspension, Lantu Free+ is equipped with a front four-ball joint double wishbone independent suspension + a rear H-arm multi-link independent suspension. The effect of this suspension is that it has very good handling performance, the front suspension ensures accurate steering, the rear suspension provides stable tracking, and provides sufficient support during high-energy driving, and the overall comfort is very good. Especially when the electric door is stepped to the bottom, although the acceleration is very strong, the handling provided by the chassis can give the driver stronger driving confidence.

Moreover, Lantu Free+ uses a leading all-aluminum chassis in the same class, with a 30% increase in lightweighting, which makes the acceleration and brake performance better. At the same time, the reduction in unsprung mass, combined with the suspension of the front double wishbone rear multi-link, also makes the cornering performance better. Of course, sufficient lightweight can also further improve the battery life of the entire vehicle. With an all-aluminum chassis, you don’t need to worry about rust. Lantu Free+ can achieve 300,000 kilometers of rust in ten years, allowing users not to worry about rust during long-term use of the car.

On this basis, Lantu Free+ has also newly upgraded the built-in valve EDC variable magic carpet chassis, which can adjust the suspension softness and hardness according to road conditions, ensuring a high degree of unity of control and comfort. Because I not only tested the urban expressway, but also ran a paved mountain road. The overall feeling is that the Lantu Free+ chassis is unexpected, and it has a feeling that it surpasses the SUVs of the same level, and the overall comfort is very good. At the same time, Lantu Free+ also has the leading 100mm travel air suspension of the same level, which makes it more grounded in high speed, and the off-road road surface can raise the chassis higher, and the elderly and children can automatically reduce it when getting on and off the car, giving users higher comfort.

In terms of NVH, this test drive did not run on the highway, so the maximum speed is around 80km/h, and the NVH of the entire vehicle is very good. The car has more than 30 NVH upgrades. Through the combination of the acoustic package upgrade of the entire car, double-layer soundproof glass, quiet three-electric system and Michelin’s new generation of comfortable silent tires, the car is quite quiet after running.

As for the smart driving assistance that everyone is concerned about, Lantu Free+ is the first batch of models equipped with Huawei Gankun Intelligent Driving ADS4, and its upper limit is very high. The whole vehicle is equipped with 29 intelligent sensors, including 1 192-thread high-precision lidar, 1 4D mmWave radar, 2 rear-angle mmWave radars, 7 high-definition cameras, 4 surround-view cameras, 12 ultrasonic radars, 1 DMS camera, and 1 OMS camera. At the architectural level, the new WEWA architecture is adopted, integrating the world engine + world model, and the overall decision-making to braking delay is reduced by 50%, the traffic efficiency is improved by 20%, and the redundancy rate is reduced by 30%. During the test drive, Lantu Free+ showed the familiar Huawei intelligent driving assistance flavor, which was full of old drivers and could give car owners enough confidence to use it, rather than being frightened after turning it on.

I personally prefer the full-scene parking assistance capabilities, and the functions of parking VPD, AVP valet parking, and App Summoning can be realized. When parking in the scene of parking of electric vehicles next to the test standard parking space, the electric vehicle encroached on the parking space. At this time, Lantu Free+ can still quickly reverse the car and enter the garage without going to the center to park very rigidly. If the center is parked at this moment, either the electric vehicle will scratch or need to take over to complete the parking. It will park slightly to the other side and keep a distance from the electric vehicle, which is very old-fashioned.

From the above levels, consumers can choose Lantu Free+. On the one hand, they can get a very good chassis adjusted. Whether it is materials or adjustment, they are very good at the same price, which brings strong handling performance; on the other hand, Huawei ADS4 brings assisted driving gain, which makes driving in all scenarios more intelligent, especially for users who are not very good at parking spaces, Lantu Free+’s parking technology will make them more at ease.

In terms of performance, Lantu Free+ is equipped with front and rear dual motor four-wheel drive, with a total power of 350kW and a 000-hundred acceleration takes only 4.9 seconds. It is the faster among SUV models of the same level. This acceleration capability is actually just right for most users, and they can also feel a certain stimulation, and will not feel a violent vertigo like a 3-second car. It can be said that it just satisfies the performance users’ demand for speed and also meets the occasional stimulation of ordinary users.

In terms of battery life, Lantu Free+ is equipped with a 45kWh CATL lithium iron phosphate battery, with a pure electric battery life of up to 300km and a comprehensive battery life of up to 1400km. In fact, for Lantu Free+, users don’t need to pay too much attention to the battery life parameters, because it can meet daily high-frequency commuting needs by pure electric power. If you have charging piles at home, it is almost the same as charging once a week. If you want to travel far, you can also refuel directly and don’t worry about the charging pile, so there is no anxiety about battery life. In terms of energy replenishment, Lantu Free+ has the industry-leading 400V platform’s strongest peak fast charging capability, with a peak power of up to 140kW, and can be charged from 20% to 80% in 20 minutes.

Written at the end

At a time when the automobile market is fierce, car companies + Huawei are a very promising road. Previously, Lantu Dreamer + Huawei has achieved a very good market reputation. Now, Lantu Free+ has cooperated with Huawei again, which not only brings its own excellent control performance, but also has the support of Huawei ADS4 and Hongmeng Cockpit 5 in terms of intelligence, giving consumers full confidence to choose. Through this test drive, Lantu Free+’s comprehensive performance is excellent. Pre-sale will officially start on June 24. At that time, we can focus on the price. I believe that after it is launched, it will become another popular model of Lantu.
