has a budget of more than 300,000 yuan. Will you choose BBA's X1, GLA, Q3 and other luxury models, or will you choose ordinary joint venture cars such as Toyota Highlander and Volkswagen Touron? To be honest, although X1, GLA and Q3 are all luxury SUVs, they are only compact SUVs. The Highlander is not only a medium-sized SUV, but also comparable in size to a medium-to-large SUV. The Touron is even more genuine. Among medium and large SUVs, in terms of aura, space and other capabilities, X1, GLA and Q3 do not have an advantage. Of course, this does not mean that Highlander and Touron are the best choices in the budget range of more than 300,000 yuan. You must know that there are also many popular models in the current independent SUV camp, such as the , which is also a medium and large SUV. Ideal ONE, Lantu FREE, etc.
It can be seen that the prices of Lideal ONE and Lantu FREE are both more than 300,000, and the monthly sales of these two models have increased significantly since they entered the market. In the past June, Lantu FREE achieved a month-on-month growth of 33%. Moreover, unlike the Ideal ONE that only provides an extended-range power system, Lantu FREE provides an extended-range version and a pure electric version respectively, and the options will obviously be richer. So, what exactly is Lantu FREE?
In terms of power, the Lantu FREE pure electric version is equipped with a rear motor with a total power of 255kW, and front and rear dual motors with a total power of 510kW. It can last 505km and 475km without refueling. The extended-range version of Lantu FREE is equipped with a power system with a 1.5T range extender and a drive motor with a total power of 510kW as the main core. It has a comprehensive range of over 800km and a WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption of 1.3L per 100 kilometers. Moreover, Lantu FREE's dual-motor driven models are also equipped with air suspension, variable suspension, etc., which not only improves ride comfort, but also allows the fastest acceleration from 0 to 100 seconds in 4.5 seconds.
It is said that the Highlander equipped with a hybrid system has considerable experience in fuel saving, but in fact, the current new Highlander has a comprehensive fuel consumption of more than 5L per 100 kilometers, and Touron's models equipped with six-cylinder engines have zero acceleration. It also requires 7.2L. In comparison, the comprehensive advantages of Lantu FREE are not small.
In terms of size, Lantu FREE has a length of 4905mm, a width of 1950mm, and a wheelbase of 2960mm. Compared with the new generation Highlander, which is 4965mm in length, 1930mm in width, and 2850mm in wheelbase, there are also vehicles with a length of 4965mm, a width of 1930mm, and a wheelbase of 2850mm. 5052mm, the vehicle width is 1989mm, and the wheelbase is 2980mm. You can find that although the size of Lantu FREE does not have any big advantages, it is also in line with the mainstream. In addition, it is different from the Highlander and the Highlander that provide a 7-seat layout. Touron and Lantu FREE only provide a 5-seater layout, so the legroom in the rear is quite spacious, the cargo capacity of the trunk is not bad, and the practicality is good. If we compare BBA models in the same price range, we find that both , BMW X1 and Mercedes-Benz GLB are smaller than the Lantu FREE.
In terms of intelligence, Lantu FREE is the same as Ideal ONE. You can see three LCD central control screens in the center console. Thanks to the blessing of the smart car system, it can recognize faces, gestures, and voice commands. , coupled with the built-in 5G network, it can also provide network hotspots for drivers and passengers in the car. Not only that, in terms of intelligent driving assistance systems, Lantu FREE also comes standard with full-speed adaptive cruise, merging assist, lane departure warning system, lane keeping assist system , front and rear collision warning system, DOW door opening warning system, etc. For example, when you get off the car halfway and open the door, the DOW door opening warning system will identify the vehicles in front and behind and issue an alarm in time, which is quite practical. Not to mention that it is difficult to fully see the above intelligent functions in Highlander and Touron. Even if they are available, they are by no means standard.
Summary: Highlander and Touron are both classic cars in the joint venture car camp. With a budget of more than 300,000 yuan, they can indeed be purchased directly. However, it provides two different power systems and can get a green license plate. In first- and second-tier cities, the Lantu FREE can travel without restrictions on traffic and number restrictions. Its performance is better than that of the Tuang equipped with a six-cylinder engine, and its fuel consumption is better than that of the hybrid system. Highlander is low-priced and equipped with a wealth of intelligent systems as standard, which shows its sincerity.
So in the past June, Lantu FREE’s sales achieved a month-on-month growth of 33%.And with the end of the epidemic, the supply chain and the sales channels of Lantu are also returning to normal, and Lantu FREE's sales should gradually rebound. If you had a budget of more than 300,000 yuan, which model would you choose?
