To be honest, among the new medium and large SUVs, the Wenjie M7 and the Lantu FREE are somewhat "sympathizing with each other". Because both have extended-range power, and there are "big guys" behind both. Wenjie M7 is Huawei , and Lantu FREE is Dongfeng Motors . However, it is precisely because of the different bosses behind them that there is a gap between the two, and this gap is related to the driving safety of drivers and passengers.
Not long ago, China Insurance Research Institute announced the latest vehicle collision results. In the frontal 25% offset collision test of the Wenjie M7, the A pillar was significantly deformed, and the front of the car also collapsed. The performance was not optimistic. As a Lantu FREE car owner, to be honest, I was a little happy when I first saw the test results of the Wenjie M7. I am glad that I did not choose the Wenjie M7, but insisted on my original intention and bought the Lantu FREE.
The reason why I didn’t choose Wenjie M7 at first was mainly because I had never heard of the brand Cyrus, which produced Wenjie M7. Although the industry still has the blessing of Huawei, no matter how famous Huawei is, it is in the field of mobile phones. Lantu FREE is different. Needless to say, Dongfeng Motor's position in the country is at the top of the list in terms of its car-making history, experience and popularity. Its advantages over Huawei are quite obvious. The facts tell me that this choice was not wrong at the time, because I heard that within Lantu , in the face of any situation, security has " one-vote ".
Before the collision results of Wenjie M7 came out, I was still very concerned about Lantu FREE’s collision results. After all, no one wants their car’s performance to be too bad. Previously, Lantu FREE achieved a comprehensive score of 92.3% in the C-NCAP crash test. Maybe you don't know what level this is. I also checked the data and found that among the tested models, only a few models had a comprehensive score of more than 90%. And this also verified the safety of Lantu FREE from the side and verified that my choice was correct.
Although I have learned that the safety of Lantu FREE is indeed outstanding, I am still careful enough when driving, and so far there have been no major collisions. However, from the circle of riders, I still saw some riders sharing the "record" of Lantu FREE.
What impressed me most was that when a car owner was driving on an icy road at a speed of about 90km/h, and on a slightly curved curve, Lantu FREE skidded and hit the mountain on the roadside. From the picture, you can also see that Lantu FREE was seriously injured. Fortunately, the overall structure of the vehicle was quite good and the occupants were not injured. When I saw this news, I was even more sure that I had bought the right car. After all, with such a fast speed, other cars may not necessarily guarantee the integrity of the body.
When I drove Lantu FREE, what I personally experienced is that its assisted driving makes it very safe. The most impressive thing was when I came out of an underground garage, a delivery boy happened to rush out, but I didn't notice it because the light suddenly became brighter. Fortunately, Lantu FREE activated the active braking and avoided an accident. Also, when I usually drive on the highway, once I cross the line or get distracted, the system will alarm and even take the initiative to correct it. The existence of these configurations also makes me feel more at ease while driving Lantu FREE.
In short, by comparing the crash test results of the Wenjie M7 and Lantu FREE, I have concluded a rule, that is, when buying a car, you must trust a professional team. Apart from anything else, Wenjie M7 has a lot of gimmicks, and it also has a lot of Huawei fans, but you won’t know whether it works until you actually hit it. Lantu FREE's concept of always putting safety first can also make our car owners feel more at ease. When ordinary people buy a car, isn't this the kind of car they want?
