撰写In the current situation of increasingly fierce competition and highly saturated market, major automakers are committed to actively approaching consumers and trying to occupy a place in the fierce market competition. As a new energy vehicle brand known for capturing user requests, Lantu Auto has pushed user thinking to a new height and launched the new medium-sized pure electric SUV.
Judging from the name of the model, the "soulmate" undoubtedly reflects the deep pursuit of the intimate relationship between the brand and the user. So, how does this car actually perform? Can it really impress users and become a powerful partner in everyone’s life? We will reveal the answer in this issue of the test drive of the Lantu soulmate to see if it really realizes the harmonious unity of emotion and technology.
In the age of young users who dominate everything, appearance is the best language for brands to communicate with users. In terms of appearance, Landu’s soulmate neither chose high-quality imitation shortcuts nor adopted nesting doll design, but used the design theme of "The Force Flight" to integrate the actual needs of users.
The through LED light strip and the illuminated LANTU LOGO highlight the characteristics of the younger family design. The dual channel design guides the air to be evenly separated from both ends of the airway, giving the vehicle excellent body stability. While providing more emotional value with the original design, LANTU’s confidant can better ensure smooth and reliable handling.
In order to meet the different aesthetic needs of more users, Arashi provides two different styles of front face shapes. In addition to the front face design of the star ring photographed in this article, there is also a front face of the galaxy using a star mesh grille. The former brings a refreshing and concise visual effect, while the latter meets the individual needs of technology and fashion.
4725mm*1900*mm1636mm body size may not be so prominent, but the long wheelbase of 2900mm is stunning enough. The wheelbase and length close to the 0.618 golden ratio not only provide a spacious space that can accommodate the needs of the whole family, but also meet the personalized aesthetic pursuit of young people today.
The front design is remarkable, and the tail design is also unconventional. The OLED headlights composed of 132 independent zones can improve the recognition of night driving, adding technology and speed to the user’s travel. The sharp spoiler tail gives the vehicle better stability at high speeds, adding a sense of power to the whole vehicle.
In terms of interior, the cockpit design of Lantu’s car confidant focuses on simplicity. The straight-lined center console and floating 15.05-inch OLED curved edge display reflect the sense of technology that new energy models should have. During the whole test drive experience, there are three things that I remember the most: first, the display effect of the curved central control screen is very clear, and the car and machine run very smoothly; second, the central control screen can realize the left and right movement of the central position and the passenger position, just three fingers can slide; third, the side of the curved surface can adjust the size of the multimedia volume by sliding up and down with your fingers.
In the actual driving process, the driver does not need to turn his head to control the central control screen at all, just voice control. The LCD dashboard in harmony with the trend and the AR-HUD with high projection definition can provide almost any driving information you want to know.
The human design details in the cab can fully demonstrate Lantu’s careful care for users. In addition to the in-car camera that can be actively blocked, the translucent design on the main and auxiliary driver’s shading panels will also make people feel very attentive. Similar details not only enhance the fashion sense of the whole vehicle, but also shorten the distance between young users and corporate brands. The in-car photo function and the skin stereo that can directly shout to the outside world fully consider the social needs of e-users, which are worthy of praise.
For consumers who want to buy Lantu’s soulmate, there is no need to think about space at all. The 2900mm wheelbase allows passengers in the rear to stretch to their heart’s content, and the 71% oversized room rate is well-deserved. The 10-layer zero-pressure comfortable seat and the 5-speed adjustment function of the rear seat back bring comfort. The interior eco-friendly materials certified by European Union ecological textiles OEKO-TEX ? Standard 100 make the car’s health level far exceed the national standard.
In terms of the storage capacity of the trunk, the regular volume of the Lantu car’s confidant is 527L. After the rear seats are laid down, the trunk expansion volume is 1328L, which is 1838mm long, 1030mm wide, and 707mm high. The loading capacity is at an advanced level, which can easily accommodate daily items and luggage for family travel.
Our test drive is a long-life supercharged version of the model, that is, the pre-sale price of 226,900 yuan that one. It is equipped with 230 kW rear drive motor, maximum torque 395 Nm, comprehensive battery life of 650 kilometers, a total of economy, comfort, sports, super power saving four driving modes.
Personally, I prefer the Comfort mode. In this mode, its power response is more like a large-displacement self-priming model, the power is always on the go without being abrupt, and the chassis is comfortable with the feedback of the potholed road. On medium and high speed, the steering of the Landmap Friend will become more stable, and the CDC adjustable damping suspension is also very comfortable to deal with the road bumps. If you want to find an analogy in the well-known brand, I think its chassis adjustment is more like, just the right firmness is very comfortable.
In addition to the regular driving experience, we also experienced its intelligent driving auxiliary features in depth. The two things that impressed me the most: first, the high-speed NOA can easily handle the ramp; second, it handles the sudden congestion of the car in front very well, it will not suddenly brake violently, nor will it accelerate and catch up particularly aggressively. Even if it is the first time to contact Lantu car confidant, you can rest assured that it will lead at high speed. It just so happens that during this test drive experience, it caught a rainstorm, and it handled the bad weather completely well.
The bosom friend, which means a deep understanding of user requests, also conveys the brand’s high emphasis on consumer experience. From the perspective of product performance, the bosom friend’s large space, excellent driving control, and sufficient battery life to meet daily travel needs also show Lantu Automobile’s accurate grasp of user requests. If you are trying to find a family pure electric SUV priced around 250,000, I sincerely recommend you to try it yourself.
