how much can a 200,000-level pure electric suv be? maybe it's the full configuration? maybe it's the latest advanced intelligent driving? or is it the huge space? in fact, to be honest, although the price of 200,000 is not cheap for many people, the cost limit of pure electric suvs, especially the mid-sized suvs that are generally active in the market at this price, is there. therefore, for a long time, the 200,000-level pure electric mid-sized suvs basically cannot take into account the above product points.

but if i tell you now that there is such a new car, with a pre-sale price of just over 200,000 yuan, but with an amazing cltc range of 901 kilometers, a small body but an amazing wheelbase, and at the same time a luxurious interior and a full range of configurations, do you think it is unlikely that such a car exists?

it is called lantu zhiyin, a new model of dongfeng lantu. at the chengdu auto show, it officially announced its pre-sale price, starting at 209,900 yuan. it is likely to become the super-hot seller among 200,000-level medium-sized pure electric suvs in the future. because in terms of product strength, this car is really powerful.

lantu zhiyin is a medium-sized pure electric suv with a length of 4725mm and a wheelbase of 2900mm. this is its first highlight, with a length of less than 4.8 meters and a wheelbase of 2.9 meters, which is a very strong data even for other cars built on the same advanced pure electric platform.

as for the configuration, in fact, for such a high-volume model, its configuration must be full. moreover, most of the lantu cars have a great performance in creating a sense of luxury. this is something that everyone has already known from the past lantu models. whether it is free or dreamer, the interior is very luxurious, so there is no need to worry about the luxury of the interior and the texture of the lantu zhiyin.

i would like to focus on the three-electric system of this car, especially its battery and range. according to the information released so far, lantu zhiyin has a total of 4 models, of which the entry-level cltc with a pre-sale price of 209,900 yuan has a range of 625 kilometers, but the most interesting one is the second-highest version with a pre-sale price of 266,900 yuan, and the cltc range is an astonishing 901 kilometers!

you may not know how difficult it is to achieve this 901km figure. first of all, as we said before, the wheelbase of this car is 2900mm. the battery pack of a pure electric car is installed in the center of the bottom of the car, between the front and rear axles, so the wheelbase directly determines the size of the battery pack of this car, which is a physical limitation. obviously, a wheelbase of 2900mm is not really long. most cars with a wheelbase of more than 3000mm have a larger physical space for the battery pack, but the range is also difficult to approach 900km.

zhiyin can achieve a range of 901 kilometers under the inherent physical condition of a wheelbase of less than 3 meters. from a technical point of view, there are only two solutions: one is to use ultra-high-density ternary lithium batteries, and the other is to have very innovative performance in battery stacking design. we have said in previous articles that large-capacity batteries basically use ternary lithium cells because the energy density of ternary lithium cells is significantly higher than that of lithium iron phosphate.

but what shocked us most about the lantu zhiyin is that this 901km range version is actually made of lithium iron phosphate cells! the energy density of lithium iron phosphate cells is lower than that of ternary lithium cells, which is a physical limitation. in addition, the wheelbase of zhiyin itself is less than 3 meters. under these two unfavorable conditions, the only thing we can guess is that the battery pack of lantu zhiyin has achieved a great breakthrough in battery cell stacking technology.

traditional battery cells are placed flat. we believe that the battery pack supplied by catl for lantu zhiyin is likely to use multi-layer stacking technology. at present, there are basically no other companies in china except catl that have multi-layer stacking technology, and only tesla has just achieved mass production abroad. catl's multi-layer stacking battery pack is enough to make lantu zhiyin worth the price.

the lantu zhiyin is positioned as a typical large-space model, and with the adoption of a new pure electric platform (which is also the basis for it to achieve a 2.9-meter wheelbase with a length of less than 4.8 meters), the utilization rate of the interior space of the lantu zhiyin has been greatly improved. based on what we saw at the car show, the interior space of this car is bound to be satisfactory.

as for power, considering that it is not a sports car, 3 out of 4 models of lantu zhiyin are equipped with a single rear motor, with maximum horsepower of 292 and 313 respectively. the top version has dual front and rear motors, with 435 horsepower. obviously, as a car positioned in the home market, power is not the biggest selling point of lantu zhiyin.

there are actually many competing models of lantu zhiyin, including several high-volume models including avita 07 and zeekr 7x, which also announced relevant news at the chengdu auto show. compared with these competitors, lantu zhiyin does not have an advantage in pure intelligent driving, especially the avita 07 equipped with huawei's advanced intelligent driving, which is basically one of the new cars with the strongest intelligent driving capabilities among the recent batch of medium-sized pure electric suvs.

but the main competitive advantage of lantu zhiyin lies in its long battery life, large space, and luxury and quality in the car. especially the 901km battery life version of lantu zhiyin, the competitive advantage is very obvious. another very important point is that the actual price of lantu zhiyin may be slightly lower than those of the above competitors.

the pre-sale price of lantu zhiyin is now 209,900 yuan. according to the industry rule that the pre-sale price must be higher than the official price, we have reason to believe that the actual starting price of lantu zhiyin may be around 180,000 yuan. the official starting prices of the above-mentioned competing models are currently estimated to be around 200,000-220,000 yuan. this gives lantu zhiyin a certain competitive advantage in price compared to other competitors.

overall, we believe that the competitiveness of lantu zhiyin in the market is very strong. with a range of 901 kilometers and the quality of the whole vehicle, as well as a long wheelbase and large space, the market prospects of lantu zhiyin are very optimistic.
