For 93,900 yuan, 2023 Changan Yidong PLUS was listed.

speed up apply the brakes oil consumption second rice rise Hybrid power is worth early testing. Yidong Blue Motion Edition 5MT Evaluation Editor-Luo Aoyu:

  Yidong’s moderate hybrid model is not expensive, and about 90 thousand yuan can be the first to try the technical fun of hybrid models. Although its hybrid system is not strong, and the fuel consumption is not obvious compared with the ordinary gasoline version, the motor can supplement the engine torque at low speed. Considering that it is 1000 yuan cheaper than the ordinary version of the same configuration model, with new technology and low price, the editor thinks this car is worth buying.

Evaluation Editor-Zhou Churan:

  There is no obvious difference between the driving experience of the blue-drive version and the gasoline version, but the driving quality can still be improved in the nuances. The most gratifying thing is that the price of the Blue Drive version is lower than that of the gasoline version with the same configuration, 1000 yuan. The higher cost performance and the unique temperament of the "hybrid model" are still very attractive.

Evaluation Editor-Sheng Yuanjun:

  Changan Yidong Blue Edition can be regarded as a new attempt of Changan to 48V hybrid power system. Compared with Toyota’s strong hybrid, it has lower technical threshold and cost, but at the same time, it has obvious promotion effect on power, fuel consumption and emissions. We should encourage China brand car companies to make new attempts in technology.

Dialogue with Kung Fu Panda 3: How Hollywood Plays Chinese Style

    Special feature of 1905 film network Compared with many Hollywood film companies that have only recently begun to lay out the China market, DreamWorks animation is undoubtedly in the forefront. Relying on the power of "Meng Shen" Po, the Kung Fu Panda series has been a great success in China, and the first two episodes have successively won the box office champion of the inland film history animated film. The recognition of China fans gave DreamWorks great encouragement and confidence, and filmmakers from Hollywood began to explore and study the strange and distant China culture more seriously.

 

    The good foundation laid by the previous work has given DreamWorks the best opportunity to start in-depth cooperation with China. It is natural to establish Oriental DreamWorks and work together to create Kung Fu Panda 3. On January 29th, the film officially landed in the mainland cinema to meet the audience. What kind of cultural exploration has Kung Fu Panda 3 gone through from the Hollywood animation to the Sino-American co-production? To this end, we talked with Jennifer Yuh and Alessandro, directors of the film, Jeffrey Kasenberg, CEO of DreamWorks Animation, and Jack Black and kate hudson, who voiced the protagonists "Po" and "Meimei", and listened to them tell us their feelings about participating in the creation of Kung Fu Panda 3 from the perspective of Hollywood filmmakers.

 

Director: Creating Kung Fu Panda 3 has a stressful culture that depends on good story expression.

 

    Director Jennifer Yuh has made great contributions to the Kung Fu Panda series today. From participating in animation production to acting as a film director, she has obviously become the soul behind the role of Po and the whole story. During the creation of Kung Fu Panda 3, Jennifer also invited her former partner Alessandro to continue another adventure of Po with her.

 

    With the great success of Kung Fu Panda series in the world, Po and his friends are getting more and more attention and love from fans, which makes the two directors feel invisible pressure slowly. However, as the "people who know Po and Kung Fu Panda best" in the world, they still have unlimited imagination when creating. Through a deeper understanding of China, Jennifer and Alessandro also showed more elements of China culture to audiences all over the world in Kung Fu Panda 3.

 

    Many people have expressed their curiosity to them: As Hollywood filmmakers, how did you successfully integrate the eastern and western cultures into your works? Naturally, it took nearly 10 years for the Kung Fu Panda series to gradually mature. However, Jennifer and Alessandro always believe that in order for fans from different countries and regions to accept and understand the culture in the film, it is not necessary for the creator to forcibly add any elements or symbols. As long as the character and his experience are attractive enough, the audience will naturally find resonance with the film.

 

    1905 Movie Network: After so many years, is it easier or more challenging for you to create Kung Fu Panda now?

 

    Jennifer: It must be more difficult. Because the audience who like Kung Fu Panda series now have their own ideas about the characters, we must create more and more exciting and interesting stories to meet their expectations. It is natural for creators to feel some pressure.

 

    Alessandro: That’s it. Because at the beginning of the Kung Fu Panda project, all we need to consider is how to create a character like Po, but now he is a beloved character, so the creator must be more cautious and not act rashly to influence the character itself.

 

    1905 Movie Network: So now you will definitely have a deeper consideration when creating the whole story of Po and Kung Fu Panda.

 

    Alessandro: Yes, you can say that. In the first episode of Kung Fu Panda, Jennifer and I conceived the image of Po together, and then Jennifer finished Kung Fu Panda 2 as a director. This time, she invited me back to participate in the creation of Kung Fu Panda 3, precisely because we both know Po best.

 

    1905 Movie Network: Did you expect Kung Fu Panda to be very popular in China? Have you ever thought about the reason?

 

    Jennifer: I think Po played a big role in this. China audiences like the role of Po, not only because he will have many funny and pleasing performances in the film, but also because he brings a cultural resonance, which enables the cultural and historical elements in Kung Fu Panda to be better expressed. We try our best to make all the cultural details authentic in our creation. I think this is also the reason why China audiences have a sense of identity with Kung Fu Panda.

 

    1905 Movie Network: Will the success of the previous work make the creation of Kung Fu Panda 3 stressful this time?

 

    Alessandro: There will definitely be pressure, but compared with the previous two Kung Fu Panda movies, when all the lessons about China’s history and culture needed to be explored by ourselves, this time we finally found a local team in China as a partner. So we don’t have to worry about whether the content in our works is true enough, because our partners in China have already told us the exact answer, which has greatly helped us to further improve our works and make the Kung Fu Panda series even better.

 

    1905 Movie Network: You were also invited to visit the panda base in Sichuan. What influence did this have on your creation?

 

    Alessandro: She even hugged the panda herself!

 

    Jennifer: I hugged the baby panda myself, about this big. I must say it’s a great honor. The panda babies are really as cute as you think! However, in the process, I also paid attention to and felt their hair. In fact, it was not as soft as I thought, and it was a bit tied. In addition, I also observed their habits. They really love to sleep, and they like to roll around like balls. This visit brought us a lot of inspiration in the creation of Kung Fu Panda 3, which is why we added the role of panda baby in the film. Moreover, we also observed many aspects of their daily life and play, for example, they like to roll down the hillside. We added all these findings to the film.

 

    1905 Movie Network: Kung Fu Panda 3 has more elements of China traditional culture, such as Qi and Fairy World. Are these concepts easy for you to understand? How do you use these in your creation? )

 

    Jennifer: We really did a lot of homework and conducted a lot of research on history and culture with many professionals. It is also because Kung Fu Panda 3 is a real co-production film, and we have the opportunity to really talk face to face with the Qigong master and listen to him talk about what "Qi" and "Qigong" are and how one person steals this Qi from another. So these inspirations helped us conceive such a story, and finally the choice made by Po ensured that the story of Kung Fu Panda 3 would be unique and interesting. In addition, there are many details in the film that are based on the legend of "Fairyland" in China. For example, we specially went to Qingcheng Mountain, photographed every scene and used them in the scene of Panda Village. In this way, when the audience sees the Panda Village, they will naturally feel the feeling of being on cloud nine.

 

    Alessandro: Many people in China will ask me, the cultural concept in Kung Fu Panda 3 is unique to China. How can you understand it as a foreigner? But in fact, I think if you follow the characters into the story, in fact, these concepts become common. For example, the concept of "Qi" is not very easy to understand, but it is easy to be accepted if you use kung fu and show it by two characters fighting for each other. The China culture added in Kung Fu Panda 3 is not a simple and direct concept to the audience, but something unique to China is integrated into the story to explain it to the audience. Therefore, even foreign audiences can easily find resonance in the Kung Fu Panda series.

 

    1905 Movie Network: For example, Master Tortoise wrote the word "Qi" on the screen at the beginning of the movie. Can foreign audiences Get this point?

 

    Jennifer: Some points in the film are specially designed for the audience in China, and there are many connotations that only the audience in China can understand. But I believe these will make the film more interesting. For example, the word "Qi" seems to have written a beautiful and meaningful pattern for foreign audiences, and China audiences will recognize the meaning of the word after seeing it. A similar example is the resurrected zombie, which was inspired by China’s ink painting. For the audience in China, they can know what kind of history and culture it contains, while the foreign audience will find it really very oriental. So we can say that these contents are extra surprises for the audience in China.

 

    1905 Movie Network: Kung Fu Panda, as a Hollywood film, has been very successful in integrating Chinese and Western cultures. Do you have any experience to share?

 

    Alessandro: As I said before, all the elements in Kung Fu Panda are displayed with the characters’ every move. We try to avoid making a film that simply mixes Chinese and Western styles, but focus on shaping the characters. Kung Fu Panda is an experience and a journey for Po. Everything becomes very simple from his point of view, because the world he lives in in the film is a unique world that has integrated Chinese and western cultures, and what we need to show is Po’s living state.

 

    Jennifer: Besides, I think animated film is also a very unique art, because in the animated world, everything is possible, which can help the audience realize anything that is impossible in reality. For example, we have created a panda who can play kung fu, and animated film is a product of fantasy. For example, if we see the cultural elements with aesthetic feeling, we can join in our works, so that the audience can get in touch with some things that they can’t experience personally. I also think that animated films are a very good way to spread different cultures to audiences everywhere.

 

    1905 Movie Network: Many China animators find it difficult to tell a story that resonates all over the world. Do you have similar feelings in your creation?

 

    Jennifer: The process of creating Kung Fu Panda is very difficult. Every step is very difficult (laughs). But I think if you have a story clue that is suitable for everyone, such as the story about family and the story about family members helping each other succeed, then I believe that no matter where you go, everyone can understand the meaning you want to express. Or you can write a story about exploring and finding personal value and discussing the meaning of life, which is also a theme that everyone can understand. Then you add the elements needed for animation with these story clues as the core, and the audience will naturally be attracted to them. Maybe they don’t fully understand the unique time and space where the story is located, but they can understand what the characters want to express. Therefore, in fact, the setting of the story is only the setting, not the most important core. What the audience needs to see and understand is what the character itself wants to express.

 

    1905 Movie Network: There are many new characters in Kung Fu Panda 3. Will they play a greater role in future new stories?

 

    Alessandro: We have no plans for Kung fu panda 4 yet! Once again, we only focus on the creation of the previous trilogy, and we hope to make everyone very satisfied with the quality and effect of the work as much as possible. In the process, we were also inspired by many viewers. For example, after the first episode, someone asked: What kind of story is there between Po and his biological parents? So Jennifer designed a story to answer this question when she created the sequel. At the end, we also left a foreshadowing to tell everyone that Po is not the only panda left in the world. So fans began to guess again: Wow, so Po is going to find his real father, and will they meet again? In this way, the story of Kung Fu Panda 3 appeared again. Throughout the process, we just want to bring you a complete story and make fans happy. Maybe after this episode is released, everyone will put forward new ideas, and then we can see how to create stories to answer your doubts.

BMW is on fire again, the automatic manual transmission (AT).

Appearance: the new generation adopts the latest family-style design language, the front face adopts a large-size kidney-shaped air intake grille with angel headlights, and aerodynamic kits are equipped on both sides of the bumper. The side lines of the car body are relatively smooth, the shape of the taillight group echoes that of the headlight group, and the exhaust is a two-way layout, so the overall shape is very dynamic.

The latest idrive7.0 human-computer interaction system of BMW family also appeared in this car. In addition, the new car is also equipped with panoramic sunroof, electronic gearbox and multi-function sports steering wheel, etc. The overall design remains the same, and the interior uses a large area of metal chrome trim.

The length, width and height are 4337×1867×1312mm respectively, and the wheelbase has reached 2470mm. In the same class, the wheelbase of BMW Z4 ranks third. This size exceeds most models in its class. The actual interior space performance is also very good. From the actual ride experience, the front and rear rows are relatively spacious. Among the models of the same price and class, the trunk volume of BMW Z4 ranks third. The storage space in the car is quite satisfactory and basically sufficient. The interior space of the luggage compartment is relatively regular, with very good longitudinal depth and high expansibility, and the space performance is generally ideal.

Aouita Aouita 12 is listed, with a price of 300,800 yuan. The more you look at the intellectual S7, the more pleasing it is.

On November 10th, the long-awaited Aouita 12 was officially listed. Aouita is a brand jointly built by Changan, Huawei and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, so there is no doubt about the car-making technology. After the listing of Aouita 11 (Parameter | Inquiry), the market feedback is that the price is too high and the popularity is not enough, and the sales volume is maintained at 2,000 vehicles per month.

In fact, it is similar to the tonality of Zhiji brand. However, Aouita 12, which was listed this time, did not fight the price war, but continued to maintain its high head. The price of Aouita 12 came to 300,800 ~ 400,800 yuan, and it will be delivered in December.

Although the price may be a little expensive, the owner of Aouita 11 still won’t feel that he is a "bitter species", which is much better than that of Zhiji LS6, which has no bottom line. Ceo Tan Benhong, the chairman of Aouita Science and Technology, said that he would not blindly pursue sales, and had planned to sell around 30,000 vehicles a year. He also said that brands that sell more than 10,000 vehicles a month basically don’t need to look at them now, and they have made 5-6 products, averaging around 2,000 vehicles a month.

And at the press conference, many brands were implicitly mentioned: some friends only used top-of-the-line models for marketing, selling more than 300,000 cars, but not equipped with lidar, which increased the price of models containing lidar by tens of thousands, and said that many friends described how powerful their smart driving was, but they launched expensive subscription packages after they didn’t land.

Of course, it may not be convenient for this friend Tan to call the roll, and this probably refers to the three brands of Krypton, Tesla and Wenjie.

At present, Aouita 12 has been listed,Aouita 12 is equipped with Huawei advanced intelligent driving system ADS 2.0. And the whole system comes standard with 29 intelligent driving sensors, including 3 laser radars, 3 millimeter-wave radars, 11 high-definition cameras and 12 ultrasonic radars, which gives the whole vehicle a stronger perception.

In addition, ADS 2.0 can realize intelligent driving coverage of high-speed, urban and parking scenes, and it is also more suitable for the complicated road traffic scenes in China.

In addition to intelligent driving, Aouita 12 is equipped with a three-spoke multi-function steering wheel with a novel shape. Above the center console, it is equipped with a 35.4-inch 4K panoramic integrated widescreen, in which the left and right sides are the display screens of electronic rearview mirrors, and the floating central control large screen is 15.6 inches. It adopts the design style of embracing cockpit, and the interior technology is quite good.

In terms of body size, Aouita 12 has a body length, width and height of 5020×1999×1460mm and a wheelbase of 3020mm, respectively, and is positioned as a medium and large car.

In terms of power, the two models of Aouita 12 will be equipped with Huawei DriveONE motor system. The maximum power of a single motor of the rear-drive model is 230kW, and the maximum power of the front/rear motors of the dual-motor four-wheel drive model is 195kW and 230kW respectively. The whole system will be equipped with a ternary lithium battery of Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited with a capacity of 94.53kWh. The comprehensive cruising range of the single-motor version is 700km, and the cruising range of the dual-motor four-wheel drive version is 650km.

Of course, after all this talk, we must say whether Aouita 12 is worth starting with. Now Aouita 12 is taking intelligent driving, but in the current environment, L3-level intelligent assisted driving can be made, but it is absolutely not allowed to go on the road. Therefore, it is completely unnecessary to buy a 300,000 Aouita 12 intelligent driver, which is why we say that it is better to buy a 258,000 intelligent S7, which is also equipped with the HarmonyOS 4 intelligent cockpit and ADS 2.0 Huawei advanced intelligent driver assistance system.

If L3-level intelligent assisted driving is allowed to go on the road one day, the intelligent S7 will also carry out OTA upgrade. In a word, if the price is expensive, there is a reason not to buy it.

Although the new Binyue COOL uses a 1.5T four-cylinder machine, it is not perfect.

In fact, many friends like Geely Binyue’s small SUV very much, but at the beginning Binyue used a 1.5T three-cylinder engine. As a result, Binyue’s sales were bleak. With the replacement and consumer demand, Binyue was later equipped with a 1.4T four-cylinder engine, which matched a 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox, although the sales volume was significantly better than before. But it is still not satisfactory.

Recently, Geely’s brand-new Binyue COOL went on the market, and I personally experienced this car from both static and dynamic aspects. The official guide price of the new Binyue COOL ranges from 99,800 to 119,800, and there are three versions available. Compared with the previous Binyue, the most obvious thing about this car is the change in face value and power system.

The brand-new Geely Binyue COOL uses a 1.5T inline four-cylinder engine, which is matched with a seven-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox. The maximum power of the engine is 181 HP and the peak torque is 290 Nm. Compared with the previous mainstream version of Binyue’s 1.4T, from the data point of view, the power must have certain advantages.

In terms of body size, Binyue COOL is also different from Binyue’s car. In contrast, Binyue COOL is 50 mm longer and the wheelbase size is the same. Both Binyue and Binyue COOL are still 2600 mm.

The brand-new Binyue COOL has been replaced with a 1.5T four-cylinder engine, which is really something to be happy about, but many friends must know the truth that no one can finish the car completely. From the static experience, I personally found a shortcoming that I personally think. In the trunk. As we all know, in order to achieve better smoothness in the trunk of an automobile, there are trunk liners in the factory. Different models have different sizes of trunk linings because of different trunk spaces. But what many people don’t know is that the thickness of the trunk liner of different models is actually different. As a domestic SUV, Binyue COOL has a thin lining board in the trunk, and if it is turned up manually, it will have obvious arc deformation. It is very thin, and if the trunk pulls some sharp objects in the later period, it will easily lead to the unrecoverable deformation of the trunk liner.

The experience must be a test drive. Personally, during the test drive, Binyue COOL’s dual-clutch gearbox is not as well matched as expected. There are two main states. The first type is intermittent refueling, when the second gear is upgraded to the third gear, there is a very obvious sense of shift delay. But it is not a very abrupt feeling. The second state is the continuous refueling door. When paving the road flat, the oil is continuously supplied at the engine speed of 1,600 to 1,700. You can’t feel the sense of hysteresis when you change from second gear to third gear. You can use my two methods when you test drive, and you will know it after a try.

In terms of gearbox matching, I don’t think there is too obvious difference compared with other domestic models equipped with dual-clutch gearboxes, and the gearbox matching of Bo Yue X car is really poor compared with its own. I am personally very sure of this.

Although I pointed out some shortcomings of Binyue COOL, the availability of Binyue COOL is certain. As a household model for positioning a small SUV, individuals will recommend a mid-range model with a guide price of 109,800 yuan, because on the basis of sufficient practical configuration, there is also assisted driving, which has higher active safety performance. Why not recommend the top model? The budget of 119,800 yuan can actually buy some compact SUVs with good configuration, and there is more room for higher levels, isn’t it?

The first model of Lantu Automobile began mass production and was officially delivered in July

On June 30, Dongfeng Motor Company announced the launch of its 52 million new car in the final assembly workshop of Wuhan Lantu Automobile Factory. The off-line model is the first mass-produced model of Lantu Automobile – Lantu FREE.

At the press conference, a blue Lantu FREE codenamed "001" slowly rolled off the assembly line, which was also the first mass-produced deliverable model of Lantu Automobile. According to the plan, the Lantu FREE will be officially delivered to consumers on July 29.

In this regard, Yu Zheng, a member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee and deputy general manager of DONGFENG MOTOR CORPORATION, said: "With the launch of the’Dongfeng Rise ‘plan, Dongfeng will start a new journey of comprehensive transformation into a technology-based enterprise and continue to promote the high-quality development of China’s automotive industry. Lantu is the pioneer of Dongfeng’s’technology leap, new energy leap, and intelligent leap’. The first car of Lantu FREE rolled off the assembly line, becoming a new starting point for Lantu cars to accelerate on the new energy track."

Lantu Automobile is a high-end intelligent electric vehicle technology company under Dongfeng Group, established in 2018. In July 2020, Lantu officially released the brand strategy and the first concept car iLand, and in September 2020, the world’s first mass-produced concept car iFree.

On June 19 this year, Lantu Auto’s first new car, Lantu FREE, was officially launched. The new car is positioned as a "performance-level intelligent electric SUV". The price starts from 313,600 yuan for the extended-range version and 333,600 yuan for the pure electric version. It also provides two power solutions for extended-range electric and pure electric. It is also the only electric SUV model in the industry that uses a dual-power layout.

On the evening of June 26, Lantu Automobile announced that from now on, Lantu Automobile will establish an independent legal person company, the company is registered as "Lantu Automotive Technology Co., Ltd.", which is jointly funded by the joint stock company of Dongfeng Automobile Group and the core employee shareholding platform of Lantu Automobile.

Among them, core employees hold more than 10% of the shares, and as a holding subsidiary of Dongfeng Motor Group’s joint stock company, it has opened a true sense of independent operation.

At that time, Lu Fang, CEO of Lantu Automotive Technology Co., Ltd., said, "In order to promote more flexible corporate systems and mechanisms, and continue to introduce high-end talents, the company has launched an Equity Incentive Plan for the core backbone of enterprises. In the future, strategic investors will be introduced to explore more possibilities in the capital markets."

This time, the Lantu Automobile factory has undergone a number of upgrades on the basis of the original Dongfeng Renault factory, and its production intelligence has reached a world-class 4.0 digital factory. A large number of technologies such as IoT, big data, edge cloud and AI are used in the factory to monitor factory equipment in real time, improve factory logistics efficiency and improve production management level.

At this press conference, it was learned that Lantu Automobile has established a 5G intelligent digital factory with Siemens and Unicom for the production and manufacturing of Lantu Automobile.

At present, Lantu Automotive adopts a full value chain self-management strategy, has developed ESSA’s native intelligent electric architecture, and is also conducting new explorations in the fields of intelligent connectivity, intelligent driving, and intelligent interaction.

According to the plan announced earlier by Lantu Automobile, Lantu Automobile will launch at least one new car on the market every year from 2021; in the next five years, Lantu Automobile’s products will cover multiple market segments such as cars, SUVs, and MPVs, and continue to expand the product lineup of high-end electric vehicles.

At present, Lantu Auto is rapidly expanding its offline direct sales channel layout, having opened 14 direct sales stores across the country. By the end of this year, there will be more than 50 direct sales channels.

The average monthly loss is 100 million! Lantu is listed to raise 5 billion yuan, and traditional car companies open "equity for capital"

The new energy vehicle market continues to thrive, but Landmap’s performance is lackluster.

A few days ago, the Shanghai United Equity Exchange disclosed the information of the capital increase project of Lantu Automotive Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Lantu"). The content shows that before the capital increase, 89.66% of the equity of Lantu Automobile was held by Dongfeng Group, and the remaining 10.34% equity was held by employees. After the capital increase is completed, it is expected that Dongfeng Group will hold no less than 77% equity, strategic investors will hold no more than 15% equity, and the employee stock ownership platform will hold no less than 8% equity. It is understood that the proceeds raised by Lantu Automobile will be used for "technology research and development, digital system construction, capacity construction and marketing investment and other matters related to the main business operation and expansion of the capital increase party."

At the same time, Dongfeng Group disclosed the operating data of Landmap. The operating data shows that, In the first half of 2022, the operating income of Lantu Automobile was 883 million yuan, and the net loss was 738 million yuan. As of June 30, 2022, the total assets of Lantu Automobile were 7.413 billion yuan, and the total liabilities were 6.529 billion yuan.

Sales data show that in the first half of 2022, Lantu accumulated sales of 5676 vehicles, with an average monthly delivery of 946 new cars, and the annual sales target completion rate of 46,000 vehicles was only 13.5%. In contrast, Geely’s high-end new energy brand, JK, delivered a total of 19,010 new cars in the first half of 2022. In contrast, Lantu, which is also a high-end electric brand under traditional automobile companies, has a slightly dismal market performance.

Founded on June 26, 2021, Landmap has high hopes as the vanguard of Dongfeng Group’s impact on the high-end new energy market. Lu Fang, CEO of Landmap Automobile, once said: "Landmap is an important strategic layout for Dongfeng’s transformation and upgrading, carrying the dual mission of Dongfeng’s brand upward and exploring a new model of independent brand development."

At present, Landmap has two models on sale, namely SUV Landmap FREE and MPV Landmap Dreamer, of which Landmap FREE was officially launched in June 2021. According to the official data, Landmap FREE completed the delivery of 10,000 vehicles in only 205 days.

After entering 2022, the development of Lantu is also very unsmooth. According to the production and sales express released by Dongfeng Group, the cumulative sales of Lantu in January-August 2022 are 11100 units, of which 2429 units are sold in September. According to the sales target of 46,000 units expected to be set at the beginning of the year, 24.13% of the annual target has been completed; according to the sales target of 31,000 units adjusted in the middle of the year, 35.81% of the annual target has been completed, and the timeline of 2022 has passed 75%.

Compared with major competitors such as Ideal and AITO, Landmap’s positioning of the target consumer group is not clear, which results in a low user perception of its recognition and value, further affecting consumers, especially those with family car needs.

As a new high-end new energy brand, Lantu chose an extremely difficult route at the beginning. The price range of 30-400,000 yuan belongs to the high-end consumer market. In this price range, consumers considering fuel vehicles will mostly choose traditional luxury brands such as BBA, while consumers considering new energy vehicles may consider high-end new energy models such as Model Y, NIO ES6, and Ideal ONE.

Although LANTU FREE provides two power versions of pure electric and extended range, the factors that affect consumers’ car purchases are not only the product itself, but also the brand influence. In other words, although LANTU is positioned as a high-end new energy vehicle brand, the development of Dongfeng Automobile behind it is mediocre. Its passenger car brands, including Fengshen, Scenery, Fengxing, etc., are the main 100,000-level car market, while LANTU is at the 30-400,000 level, with huge differences before and after.

Wang Chuanfu, chairperson and president of BYD, once pointed out to "new players" who build cars: "Maybe losing 5 billion yuan is not much, but losing three years, how much is it worth? You can’t buy it with money."

On July 19, Lantu made the largest personnel adjustment since its establishment: Lantu CEO Lu Fang no longer served as the Chief Technology Officer (CTO), and the position was held by Wang Junjun, deputy director of the DONGFENG MOTOR CORPORATION Technology Center. In addition, Qin Jie served as the interim party committee member and party secretary of Lantu Automobile; Liu Mingjiao served as the interim party committee member, disciplinary committee member, and disciplinary committee secretary of Lantu Automobile; Gong Xuesong and Shao Mingfeng served as the assistant general manager of Lantu Automobile.

Of course, Dongfeng’s expectations for Lantu would not only depend on three to five years of development, nor would it require it to reach a new height in the industry in the short term. Perhaps, with Dongfeng Group, Lantu did not have much advantage, but the latter two like NIO and Ideal might have stronger strength. Therefore, how to make up for the shortcomings and take the long board and compact the competitiveness of the product may be what Lantu needs to study in depth next.

The importance of Landmap to Dongfeng was self-evident, representing Dongfeng’s expectation of attacking the independent high-end market. Behind the personnel adjustment, Dongfeng was dissatisfied with the current situation of Landmap, trying to inject new blood into the management team and open up a new development situation. As for whether Landmap could seize this opportunity, it might determine whether there would be a place for Dongfeng in the second-tier pattern of new forces in the future.
