Some time ago, weinterpreted the car-machine system of Denza D9. After all, the sales of MPV at this stage are much higher than before, and new energy MPV has more advantages in electrification than fuel MPV. Today we Just find another new energy MPV with the same price and see how intelligent this car is doing? It is Lantu Dreamer .
Hardware introduction of car machine system
The Lantu brand is a high-end new energy brand created by Dongfeng Motor in the new energy era. At this stage, three models have been launched, including medium and large SUVs, medium and large MPVs, and medium and large sedans. The Lantu Dreamer experienced this time is a The mid-to-large MPV, like the Tengshi D9, also has a plug-in hybrid version and a pure electric version. What we got this time is the lowest 475km pure electric version with 0 carbon and 7 seats. The official guide price is 369,900 Yuan.
In terms of car-machine system hardware, Lantu Dreamer uses a 1.4-meter unbounded through-type triple screen + Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 car-machine chip, and does not use the lifting screen on Lantu FREE . In addition, the car owner also installed a 4K high-definition ceiling screen in the rear row at the Lantu store.
How do I rate this set of hardware? In the current Chinese market, the triple screen is definitely not a distinctive or high-tech display device. After all, we have seen the large screen used in models such as Mondeo , EOVS, and Feifan F7. The cockpit has a few shortcomings.
First of all, although it is a triple screen, each screen is actually separate. It is only combined with an integrated black panel. It may not be obvious when the screen is off, but the partition in the center of several screens is still more obvious after the screen is turned on. of.
The second is that the screens are relatively average. The resolution of each screen is 720P, which may be the mainstream level at this stage, but it will not be clear enough in a few years.
The 15.6-inch 4K ceiling screen in the rear row is the highlight of the entire cockpit. Its viewing angle is adjustable (but manually adjusted), and its resolution is sufficient. Although the size is not large, the distance from the viewer is moderate. I am experiencing It is a good viewing experience in the process.
But the B grid of this rear cabin screen is not as technological as ideal, mainly because it is controlled by a remote control, which I have not touched for a long time, and the assembly process of the entire screen still needs to be completed. Strengthened, so it affects the high-level sense of the cockpit.
System interface layout/voice experience
We didn’t find the specific system version number of Lantu Dreamer car system, but generally we still use the Huawei HiCar system on Lantu Free. The layout of the system is very simple. The left side is the first-level menu, including music. /Navigation/air conditioning and vehicle settings, as well as the main function entrances of the application center.
The main page is a voice assistant and a card layout, which includes commonly used functions such as maps and car-machine interconnection, while the status bar displays many functions of the current vehicle, such as the air quality in the car, the status of the air conditioner, the status of the driving recorder, the weather and other information .
The Baidu map used by Lantu Dreamer's built-in navigation provider has all the basic functions. At the same time, the charging map is adapted according to the characteristics of new energy, so there is no major problem in using it.
It is worth mentioning that the navigation interface of Lantu Dreamer can be projected to the dashboard, but it is different from the way most vehicles display navigation by switching the instrument display mode. You need to select in the lower left corner of the navigation interface of the central control screen. The logic of instrument projection can be changed.
In terms of fluency, due to the adoption of the 8155 car-machine chip, the fluency of Lantu Dreamer’s car-machine has reached the mainstream level. There is no lagging process whether it is the switching of the interface or the zooming of the navigation. Only when the navigation is turned on, it needs to be loaded for 2 seconds. Left and right, this should be related to network positioning.
The Huawei HiCar interconnection system has added a lot of points to this car. Generally speaking, it can be described in this sentence: it is easy to use, but there are still many details that can be done better.
Lantu Dreamer has the same problem as Tengshi D9, that is, the entrances of different functions are not uniform, so it is easy for consumers to not know where to find a certain function when they need it.Some functions need to be entered from the left side of the page, some functions are in the control center when you slide down, and some functions are opened in the application center, which is difficult to find for the first time.
Next, let's talk about the voice system.The voice system of Lantu Dreamer is surprisingly comprehensive. It recognizes voice commands for navigation very accurately. It can also distinguish many addresses that are flat and ambiguous. It is rare to need to re-enter the voice.
(voice control screen brightness)
As mentioned earlier, due to the menu setting problem of Lantu Dreamer, it will be a bit cumbersome to get started, but the voice system can solve this problem very well.This set of voice can be realized for most commands, such as switching driving mode, turning off the driving recorder, etc., and supports continuous voice and multi-command recognition.
And it has the function of seeing and talking. You can use voice to slide up and down during driving. For the music interface, you can also directly read the name of the playlist displayed on the screen to enter, plus a more conspicuous voice. Click Feedback, I can give this voice set a high score.
In general, although the Lantu Dreamer's car-machine system has many shortcomings, after all, its price has exceeded 300,000 yuan, and the high-end models even exceed 400,000 yuan. It should have stronger intelligent hardware .There are not many menu functions, but the setting logic still needs to be improved, but the voice system is easy to use, and the car machine is smooth, which can meet the basic requirements of smart cars.
Vehicle Static Review
Lantu Dreamer, asthe second mass-produced model of Lantu Automobile, is built based on ESSA's original intelligent electric architecture, equipped with L2+ intelligent driving assistance system, air suspension with magic carpet function + CDC, and supports OTA of the whole vehicle.
In terms of styling, Lantu Dreamer takes Yufeng wide body as the design concept , and the front face continues to adopt a straight waterfall grille with knuckles. The LED light strip running through the front of the car can light up at the same time as the LOGO on the front, which enhances the appearance of the front face. Recognition, the overall shape looks more elegant and atmospheric.
Viewed from the side, Lantu Dreamer has a length, width and height of 5315*1985*1820mm, a wheelbase of 3200mm, and is equipped with double-sided electric sliding doors. In terms of size, it can definitely be regarded as a big guy among medium and large MPVs.From the perspective of the overall visual perception, in fact, I personally think that Lantu Dreamer is more suitable for commercial use, and it is a bit too calm for home use.
Coming to the car, the interior of Lantu Dreamer continues the through-type large screen of Lantu FREE, and the overall design lines are basically the same, and the two-color reverse disc shape is well received.In terms of interior color matching, Dreamer provides two color styles of cotton rice or camel brown, one light and one dark to meet the preferences of different users for the cockpit atmosphere. The luxury and appearance of the two colors are good.
As a medium-to-large MPV, its advantage is that its huge body size can bring excellent interior space.We can see that experiencers with a height of 178cm can get an excellent space experience in the front and rear rows.It is worth mentioning that the headroom has reached the level of close to two punches, which is also one of the biggest advantages of MPV.
The model we tested is an entry-level model, but it is still equipped with front and rear dual motors with a total maximum power of 320kW. It does have the feeling of a tram with excellent starting response and abundant power reserve. At the same time, the flexible suspension makes this car really have Excellent comfort.It's just that the battery capacity of the car we got is 82kWh, which is slightly smaller. The official CLTC battery life of 475km can only support short- and medium-distance use.
Summary of the full text:In a short period of time, we got two new energy MPVs with the same price and relatively close brand positioning, so why is there such a big gap in sales between the two cars?Lantu Dreamer actually does a good job in overall mechanical quality, but other than that, it seems to have no other bright spots that can attract consumers. In terms of comfort configuration, it seems that it has no advantage against Tengshi D9 and other opponents.
Of course, this car still has its audience. I think the Lantu Dreamer is actually more suitable for business reception. It will be equipped with a rear small table as standard for all series. The ride experience is excellent, and the configuration of the rear seats is also high. , Even the lowest model can be equipped with a 4K rear cabin screen, and its exterior and interior design of the vehicle is also more stable.So if it were you, would you choose such a new energy MPV?Let's chat in the comment area.
