At the Chengdu Auto Show, LanTu Motors partnered with the personalized customization brand, Chunjidna, to introduce LanTu FREE DNA which is priced at 379,900 yuan for the extended range version and 419,900 yuan for the pure electric version, limited to 3000 vehicles.
Chunjidna is a lifestyle brand focused on personalized customization. The design of LanTu FREE DNA is inspired by bionic mechanics. According to official introduction, DNA also represents the extension of LanTu brand, LanTu users, and LanTu FREE vehicle genes.
Compared with the regular version of LanTu, FREE DNA version features a smaller air intake grille and more exaggerated side air intake design, bringing a stronger sense of power and aggressiveness. However, due to the necessity of air intake function, the area of the air intake grille cannot be changed in the extended range version. Therefore, a three-layer air intake grille is created using a visual difference.
The front face features parking lights in the four corners, serving as a special visual marker for the DNA model.
The interior is designed with imitation suede stitching, and patterns are custom-printed in multiple locations including headrests, armrest boxes, backrests, and door panels. The location of the footrest is also redesigned, and a custom nameplate is added to the passenger side instrument panel to highlight the vehicle’s special features.
In terms of performance, the zero to one hundred km/h acceleration only takes 4.3 seconds. Equipped with front and rear dual motors, the vehicle has a comprehensive maximum power of 510 kW, horsepower of 694 PS, peak torque of 1040 N·m, making it one of the SUVs with the strongest performance parameters currently produced in China. The top speed can reach 200 km/h and the shortest braking distance from 0 to 100 km/h is 33.8 meters.
The suspension is equipped with a front double-wishbone and rear multi-link all-aluminum independent suspension, and a pneumatic suspension with a maximum adjustable height of 100mm. Different modes provide different levels of off-road capability, support, and shock absorption.
