AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)12/22 Report--

As the first model of Lantu, a high-end brand of Dongfeng Group, only three days after its release, the plan for the second model of Lantu FREE was exposed. It is worth mentioning that the Lantu FREE model has not yet been released and is expected to be officially launched in the third quarter of 2021, and the new car layout can be very fast.

It is understood that Lantu released the first model code-named "H97", the future Lantu also planned H56, H53 and other nearly 10 new cars. According to the exposed new car plan, the Dongfeng Lantu H56 project is an important modularization project for Dongfeng Group's high-end electric vehicles. According to online listing reports, this will also be the second model launched by Lantu, positioning MPV high-end MPV, and like the first model, FREE, a total of extended range version and pure electric version will be launched for consumers to choose.

The document also mentioned that the H56 project will be equipped with a battery module of the Funeng 590, which has the advantages of ultra-high energy fans, long cycle life and fast charging, and the cell energy density exceeds that of the 275Wh/kg. It is reported that the charge rate of the battery can reach 2.2 C and can be fully charged in 20 minutes. After all, in the current new energy vehicle market, vehicle life has been considered as one of the important indicators for consumers.

At the same time, it is learned that the extended range version of the second model may be consistent with the Lantu FREE, matching the 1.5T four-cylinder engine with the highest power 80kW, the comprehensive maximum power of the front and rear motors reaches 500kW, the peak torque is 1000N ·m, and the comprehensive range 860km.

Before the Dongfeng Lantu unveiled two concept models, respectively, the iLand and the iFree, in which the iLand is a large sedan-shaped concept car, the design style is very exaggerated, but there are signs that the iLand is still some time away from mass production. Therefore, with the release of the brand's second concept model, iFree, it also indicates that iLand has not become the prototype of Lantu's first mass production car.

As the second model exposed this time will be the MPV model, it has once again proved that the model of its first positioning car will continue to be delayed. But at the same time, it also shows that the layout of Lantu's new car is relatively rapid, and the plan for the next model has been launched before the first model has been put on the market.

According to Zhu Yanfeng, chairman and party secretary of Dongfeng Automobile Group Co., Ltd., Lantu has formulated a development plan for the next 3-5 years, covering sedan, SUV, MPV, crossover, high-performance vehicles and other market segments, and will put no less than one new model on the market every year from 2021.

If the layout of the MPV model plan goes well, it will also allow Lantu to open up the market of added MPV models, after all, the current domestic high-end electric MPV market is still in a blank stage. At the beginning of this year, ideal car founder Li Xiang also considered that the second model would launch the MPV model, but later considered that no matter it is added program or pure electric MPV model, due to the battery pack, the two major indicators of passenger convenience and space have no advantage, so there is no MPV model in the future product plan of the ideal car. Therefore, Lantu's launch of pure electric MPV models may allow it to take the lead in verifying whether the pure electric MPV market will get an ideal market share.
