In recent years, Chinese brands have been able to get a share of the high-end MPV market, thanks to the efforts of domestic automakers in the new energy track. With the low energy consumption and lower travel costs brought by hybrid and pure electric technologies, they have become the magic weapon for winning in this market. However, after the acceleration of domestic MPV internal competition, "color TV, refrigerator and large sofa" has gradually become standard, and the intelligent application of the whole vehicle has become a new round of comparison indicators. Therefore, the MPV that can be fully empowered by intelligence as soon as possible will be more likely to become a leader.

As an MPV that is popular among family car-buying consumers and highly recognized and preferred by the business market,Lantu Dreamer, teamed up with Huawei to be the first to install Qiankun Intelligent Driving ADS 3.0 and Hongmeng Cockpit. It can be said that it has achieved a far lead in intelligent driving assistance and smart cockpits.

It is reported that DongfengLantuStarting from the formal signing of a strategic cooperation agreement with Huawei in January this year, to the signing of Huawei Hongmeng Ecosystem Cooperation in March, the new Lantu Dreamer was officially released on August 15. The new car has also been greatly upgraded in terms of interior and exterior details and comfort configuration, and still provides pure electric and extended-range models to choose from. It is expected that the price of the intelligent driving version is expected to reach more than 500,000 yuan.

The new Lantu Dreamer offers two configurations. As a facelift model, the new car still continues the overall appearance of the current model and inherits the Lantu "Kunpeng Spreading Wings" family design language, but the difference is that the front grille is completely redesigned, and it is also equipped with a Kunpeng Spreading Wings through-type headlight group, and the brand logo in the middle can still be lit. After the upgrade, the original atmospheric and stable front of the car has been given a certain technological beauty.

The new grille adopts a "soaring" style with high-gloss chrome decoration, which is inspired by the "Oriental Huabiao" with profound cultural connotations. The new grille is composed of 34 symmetrical straight waterfall-style chrome parts, which also symbolizes the cohesion of China's 34 provincial-level administrative units.

What is more worth mentioning is that the new Lantu Dreamer is equipped with the Qiankun Intelligent Driving ADS 3.0 system, which is equipped with a total of 27 intelligent sensing hardware including 192-line laser radar, millimeter-wave radar and high-performance camera.

According to official information, Huawei Qiankun Intelligent Driving ADS 3.0 has upgraded a new end-to-end large model architecture, which can achieve full-scene connectivity from point A to point B and from parking space to parking space. In the front-end perception system, Qiankun ADS 3.0 has upgraded to a GOD (general obstacle recognition) perception neural network (large network) based on the previous ADS 2.0 BEV+GOD network architecture, thus achieving a leap forward from "obstacle recognition" to in-depth "understanding of driving scenarios", which not only improves the safety of intelligent driving, but also improves the driving experience.

In the back-end decision-making system, Qiankun ADS 3.0 not only has the PDP decision-making neural network, but also has an original instinctive safety network based on this. It responds faster when dealing with emergencies, with a decision-making cycle of 200ms. Compared with other end-to-end networks, the decision-making speed is increased by 3 times, which can greatly reduce the occurrence of accidents.

In addition, thanks to the rapid iteration of Huawei's cloud training and 3.5EFLOPS of learning and training computing power, the model is updated every 5 days. This also ensures the AI ​​big data upgrade and learning evolution of the PDP decision neural network. Currently, it can learn more than 30 million kilometers every day, so this will make the new Lantu Dreamer easier to drive.

In terms of the performance of intelligent driving functions, the Qiankun Intelligent Driving ADS 3.0 system is equipped with the omnidirectional collision avoidance system CAS 3.0 for the first time. The CAS3.0 forward AEB has an effective range of 4-150km/h and a braking speed of up to 120km/h. It can not only actively identify pedestrians, two-wheeled vehicles and vehicles in the lane, but also two-wheeled vehicles and vehicles traveling in the opposite direction.

At the same time, the newly added road-adaptive AEB function can predict and stop the car comfortably in advance when encountering slippery roads or rainy and snowy roads. In extreme cases where the braking distance is too short, the system can automatically perform emergency obstacle avoidance (eAES) and detour while braking. At the same time, lateral active safety has also been upgraded. On the basis of avoiding cones, curbs, pedestrians and vehicles, a new scene of avoiding rows of water barriers on curves has been added, and the obstacle avoidance ability in the event of road construction has been greatly improved. In addition, the rear active emergency braking function can also automatically identify children riding toy cars, pedestrians, and vehicles crossing, and automatically apply emergency braking.

With more powerful computing power, the new Lantu Dreamer will have smoother following performance and softer lane changes, and it can be driven on roundabouts all over the country. In terms of parking, Huawei Qiankun ADS3.0 also supports more than 160 parking scenarios, and some extremely narrow parking spaces without lines can also be easily parked. In addition, smart parking functions such as smart parking assistance, remote parking, leave and go, valet parking assistance, and parking and driving will all be installed and applied on the new Lantu Dreamer.

The side of the car still has smooth and tough lines. The length, width and height of the car are 5315mm/1980mm/1820mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 3200mm. It is positioned as a large luxury MPV. The change of the new Lantu Dream is that it has replaced the new style of wheels. The pure electric version is equipped with 20-inch Aurora Star Wheels, and the extended-range version is equipped with 20-inch Cloud Flutter Wing Wheels.

The rear of the car also continues the design of the current model. The difference is that the English letters "VOYAH" in the middle of the taillight group have been upgraded to a luminous design. At the same time, the "crystal diamond" taillight group preferred by female owners is retained, which can better echo the front face and greatly improve the recognition after the vehicle is started.

The new Lantu Dreamer also adds three new body colors: "Chenxing Gray", "Huiyue Blue" and "Xuanye Gold", combined with the existing four colors: Duruo White, Riyao Gold, Xuri Purple and Xuanying Black, a total of seven different exterior colors are available.

In terms of interior, the new Lantu Dreamer also continues the interior design and layout of the current models, and also adopts the Lantu VCOS intelligent interactive cockpit, and is equipped with a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument, a 29-inch AR-HUD head-up system, dual 15.4-inch floating central control screens, the only front dual 50W mobile phone wireless charging plate in its class, a refrigerator control screen, a second-row seat dual 6-inch smart armrest screen, and a 17.3-inch 3K rear entertainment screen. All screens can also realize multi-screen interactive functions. The high-performance 8295P chip is also integrated in the central control screen, which makes the system start faster, the operation smoother, and the dynamic effect display more delicate.

The new Lantu Dreamer is also equipped with a 13L "real refrigerator" in the front armrest box, which can hold 10 bottles of 350ml mineral water. It also has cooling and heating functions from -6℃ to 50℃, and supports 24-hour out-of-car insulation. The 24-hour power consumption is only 0.5 degrees, which can further enrich the car owner's car usage scenarios. In addition, the new car is also equipped with a 64-color stepless adjustable floating atmosphere light on the ceiling, as well as 22 HiFi-level speakers, and supports 7.1.6-channel panoramic surround sound.

The new Lantu Dreamer will also be equipped with Huawei's Hongmeng cockpit and the HarmonyOS system. In addition to the minimalist unified Hongmeng visual style of the overall UI of the car system, Huawei's application market has a large number of ecological applications, and mainstream office apps will also be fully equipped, covering 99% of office scenarios. In addition, the independent audio zone interaction function of the Hongmeng cockpit allows everyone to directly put forward their needs according to their own needs. The car machine can quickly identify and respond to the needs of multiple people at the same time according to the audio zone, and can quickly respond to different instructions from users in different zones.

The Hongmeng cockpit of the new Lantu Dreamer will also have the Hongmeng cockpit's super desktop function, which is the best embodiment of the current integration and sharing of the car-machine ecology and the mobile phone ecology. It can realize the automatic connection of the mobile phone to the car-machine and the synchronization of the mobile phone application ecology in the car. At the same time, the navigation on and off the car can also achieve seamless flow without interruption, as well as the seamless flow of music and videos, the synchronous flow of calendar and memo information, etc., to achieve true seamless collaboration between the mobile phone and the car machine.

In terms of space, the new Lantu Dreamer is equipped with leather seats throughout the car. At the same time, the seat foam filling is optimized, and the difficult invisible tightening technology is used in the seat support position to avoid the surface of the seat and the seat sponge. It can not only improve the comfort of riding, but also effectively reduce the fatigue caused by riding. The front seats all support 12-way electric adjustment, ventilation/heating and seat memory functions, as well as 10-point massage function. In addition, the driver's seat is also equipped with an independent headrest audio and supports private mode.

The two independent "first-class seats" in the second row also have a new "one-button zero-gravity mode", which can achieve a lying position with a hip angle of 121° and a knee angle of 125°, which meets the true zero-gravity angle. Among them, the total thickness of the seat cushion area reaches 130mm, which provides more support when sitting for a long time. At the same time, it has also upgraded 4-way leg support adjustment (up to 100mm extension), 12-way electric adjustment, 3D wrap-around heating, ventilation with twice the air volume, 10-point massage function, etc. In addition, the second row of seats is also equipped with dual 6-inch smart armrest screens, which can independently control music, seats, air conditioning, lights, refrigerators, sunroofs, etc. At the same time, there is a storage compartment with a maximum of 50W wireless fast charging designed on the outside of the seat, where mobile phones can be placed and charged.

The width of the middle aisle of the second row seats reaches 180mm, which is the widest among the current models of the same level, making it easier for the third row passengers to get in and out. The new Lantu Dreamer has also made key upgrades to the third row seats, greatly improving the practicality and comfort of the three rows. Among them, the third row seats support electric adjustment, which can be adjusted in 4 directions, and are also equipped with independent headrests. All three seats have electric heating for the seat cushion + backrest area.

At the same time, the backrest of the third row seat also supports multi-level adjustment, with a maximum angle of 122°, which can achieve a maximum legroom of 911mm. The backrest height of the third row seat is 603mm, which can greatly improve the support for the passengers' shoulders and relieve fatigue during long-distance rides. The seat cushion height is 380mm, combined with the multi-level adjustable backrest angle, which can meet the sitting posture requirements of passengers of different body shapes and provide a better viewing experience in the back row.

When fully loaded, the standard trunk volume of the new Lantu Dreamer is 502L, which can accommodate 8 20-inch suitcases; and when the third row of seats is fully folded down in a 4/6 ratio, the trunk can be expanded to a maximum of 2700L, which not only greatly improves the loading capacity of the vehicle, but also allows for occasional cargo transportation. In addition, the official storage box and air mattress can be used to open the "big bed mode", which can meet the needs of outdoor camping.

In terms of power, the new Lantu Dreamer is equipped with Lantu's self-developed Lanhai power system and a large-capacity battery pack. The extended-range version is equipped with an engine with a thermal efficiency of up to 45.18%, which greatly improves the fuel economy of the vehicle. At the same time, the new car also adopts a front double wishbone + rear five-link independent suspension structure, and is equipped with an intelligent four-wheel drive system, air suspension with magic carpet function + CDC, etc.

Summary of the full text:The upgrade of the new Lantu Dreamer is very targeted. The installation of the "color TV ice and snow sofa" seems to make up for the previous shortcomings, and the comfort and practicality have been enhanced. Combined with the self-developed Lanhai power, the economy of the whole vehicle has been further optimized. It can be said that this upgrade has comprehensively strengthened the Lantu Dreamer.

The collaboration with Huawei has made the new Lantu Dreamer completely ahead of its peers in terms of intelligence. Equipped with Qiankun Intelligent Driving ADS 3.0 and Hongmeng Cockpit for the first time, the new Lantu Dreamer has become Huawei's first smart MPV model. This has undoubtedly made a leap forward in the strength of the whole vehicle. However, it is expected that the price of the intelligent driving version is expected to reach more than 500,000 yuan, and we expect the pricing of the standard version to bring surprises in the future.
