On August 15th, the new Lantu Dreamer made its debut under the joint unveiling of Lantu Auto CEO Lu Fang and Huawei Smart Car Solutions BU CEO Jin Yuzhi. The official cooperation was announced in April, and the results were realized in August. The new Dreamer ran a more surprising speed than the electric four-wheel drive zero hundred acceleration.
You know, at the Lantu Spring Festival technical communication meeting in April, the launch time of the new Dreamer announced at that time was still in the first half of 2025.
The new Landscape Dreamer made an early appearance, which is a normal reaction in the environment of accelerating the change of new energy technologies in China this year. You can’t see that the fallout from another new energy friend’s release of a new car "too fast" three days ago has not dissipated. However, while eating melons, no car brand has come forward and shouted: Let’s all run slower, okay?
"If you run fast, you will be scolded at most, if you run slow, you will not even be qualified to eat at the table." This is the attitude of a senior industry insider on the incident a few days ago.
And Lantu and Huawei do have their own "urgency".
Lantu Automobile reached the goal of annual sales of 50,000 vehicles in 2023, and doubled the task to 100,000 vehicles in 2024. Although the sales performance continued to grow and the situation was gratifying in the first half of the year, the existing three products alone were not enough to reach the 100,000 mark. Therefore, with Huawei, we will build a new dreamer and a new pure electric SUV. Whether it is new technology, new models, or a considerable number of "pollen" under Huawei’s ecology, there is great hope that it will be transformed into a new focus for Lantu Automobile to hit the 100,000 mark.
On the other hand, looking at Huawei, the smart car has been successfully landed in the "three worlds", but the model category covers only cars and SUVs. In the field of MPVs, Huawei is still blank.
The monthly sales of 8,000 or even tens of thousands make many people ignore that Lantu Dreamer is the first high-end new energy MPV in the industry; and the MPV that focuses on intelligent experience is even more divided by Xiaopeng X9 and Ideal MEGA. Therefore, both Lantu and Huawei are holding their breath in the MPV market.
In this context, it is particularly logical for Lantu to join hands with Huawei to break through. The cooperation between the two sides focuses on a "mutual achievement", which is not exactly the same as the three models offered by Huawei in the automotive industry. According to Lu Fang, CEO of Lantu Automotive, at the April communication meeting, Lantu and Huawei are jointly exploring a new cooperation model, which may be an upgrade or variant of the HI model, which he calls "HI model PLUS".
For Lantu, the cooperation with Huawei, whether it is HI or HI PLUS, is based on Huawei’s empowerment of intelligent technology, while the R & D system, product definition and sales channels are still controlled by Lantu, that is, the "soul" of the car is still in Lantu’s own hands.
Relying on the central enterprise Dongfeng Group, Lantu has 55 years of experience in vehicle manufacturing, and can be called "far ahead" in terms of new energy architecture, vehicle safety, and driving control. This is the basic set of a good car. And Huawei can help Lantu quickly establish the technical advantages of intelligent cockpit and intelligent driving on this high-quality base, achieving "icing on the cake".
Dreamer is a new energy MPV with superior mechanical performance. As a "new strength in car building", the map fully demonstrates the accumulation of central enterprises in technology research and development, such as the ESSA architecture that can be called the ceiling of the new energy architecture, the central centralized electronic and electrical architecture "Tianyuan architecture", and the air spring, which are the earliest in China and even internationally.
The ESSA architecture is compatible with pure electric and plug-in power, making Lantu Dreamer the first MPV model equipped with front double fork arm/rear five-bar all-aluminum suspension, air spring + CDC adaptive shock absorber, applying the chassis specifications of a million-class luxury SUV to MPV models for the first time, taking into account both ride comfort and driving control, and completely reversing the stereotype that MPVs are not easy to drive.
The cage-shaped safety body with a maximum of 2000Mpa of thermoformed steel has up to five "world-first" technological innovations, which not only meets the most stringent crash tests in major global markets, but also can withstand 110km/h rear-end crash tests or 9 conventional passenger cars to stack the weight of Arhan and ensure the safety of the occupant’s living space, so that the MPV "can’t help but crash" because of the short front is completely eliminated.
In the era of fuel vehicles, MPV sacrifices power, control, comfort and safety compromises in order to achieve optimal space efficiency. It has been solved in the car of Landscape Dreamer. In the past three years, the reputation of many users and a large number of examples have proved the hard power of Landscape car building.
Space, energy consumption, comfort, safety, and driving control are all excellent, but now more and more users have active safety needs for MPVs; especially when high-end MPVs enter the consideration list of home users, they can’t just make the husband feel "easy to drive", and the wife can drive with confidence. Such a huge car has become a "rigid demand".
As a family-type technology enterprise, Lantu focused on "listening to advice", enhancing the intelligent user voice, and becoming the evolutionary direction of the new Lantu Dreamer. To fill the last shortcoming of the hexagonal radar chart, Lantu chose Huawei, and the goal was naturally to return the intelligent ability of the new Dreamer to the top.
"Although Lantu has always insisted that the core technology is self-developed and controllable, Lantu cannot build things behind closed doors. Huawei is one of the best technology companies in China and can truly solve user pain points together." Lu Fang, CEO of Lantu, said.
To enhance intelligent driving, the new Landmap Dreamer is equipped with Huawei’s latest ADS 3.0 system.
In the appearance of the new car, in addition to the new grille with 34 longitudinal trims that are more elegant and exquisite, the new lidar on the roof is also an important appearance feature of the new car, and it is matched with the new high definition camera on the front fender.
The new Landscape Dreamer is equipped with a total of 27 environmental sensing sensors, of which the laser radar is the industry’s leading 192-line, with high scanning resolution, more accurate identification of small-sized obstacles, and improved accuracy of millimeter-wave radar. It can be said that the hardware specifications are full.
The software part adopts a new end-to-end network architecture and is Huawei’s original local security network, which not only guarantees all-round active driving safety, but also protects users’ data and privacy.
The new Landmap Dreamer equipped with the Dry Smart Driving ADS 3.0 system not only has the high-speed smart driving pilot and the city smart driving pilot function that many new forces are still "drawing cakes", but also has AEB with a forward collision avoidance speed of up to 150km/h and a quite powerful intelligent parking function, which makes it possible for family members who do not drive often to easily control this big MPV when traveling with their families.
Huawei empowers in the field of intelligent driving and intelligent cockpit technology, so that Lantu’s original excellent passive safety superimposed with excellent active safety; the original excellent driving experience superimposed with convenient and reliable smart driving experience, making safety safer and better open, which not only helps Lantu Dreamer become the leading intelligent MPV model in the market, but also allows Huawei’s technological capabilities in the field of mobile travel to further spread to the MPV client base.
Although the interior of the new car has not been announced, considering that the new car will use Hongmeng cockpit, it is bound to have a significant improvement in interior layout, screen UI and human-vehicle interaction experience. The existing "hairtail screen" of Dreamer is likely to be replaced by the rectangular high definition touch screen of HarmonyOS system, and will introduce the card UI design of Internet intelligent end point style, which is simple, intuitive and easy to use.
The more anticipated suspense comes from the GPT large model released at the Spring Festival Technical Communication Conference of Landscape in April to bless the new generation of smart cockpit, the world’s first OLED sliding curved screen, which can slide between the central control and the co-pilot position, the edge of the curved screen can also be interacted, compatible with IOS, Android, Hongmeng three systems… Will the new Landscape Dreamer use this smart cockpit? After all, this has both the soul of Landscape R & D and the combination of Huawei technology empower, which sounds more in line with what Lu Fang said "HI mode PLUS".
The new model of Lantu + Huawei cooperation has brought unlimited imagination to the carriage of the new dreamer: currently, it is known that the seat space and comfort of the third row of the new car have been improved, not only the front and rear movable seats have been cut more appropriately, but also the comfort of the two rows and three rows has been truly realized. Will the projection giant screen on the M9 and S9 also board the new dreamer?
In addition, as a car factory that likes to talk about hard core technology, Lantu’s excellent car manufacturing strength may also promote a wave of technological evolution and iteration. Whether the new 800V Lanhai Power platform, a new generation of amber batteries, 5C super charging, and PHEV with AI algorithms released by Lantu in April this year will be implemented for new dreamers is also exciting.
Although these are just guesses, it can also be seen that Lantu and Huawei have joined hands, relying on the technology empowered by Huawei, the new Lantu Dreamer can not only quickly improve the product strength, but also let Lantu Automobile focus on its own better car-making, hard core car-making and intelligent services are advancing rapidly at the same time, which also reflects the system efficiency advantages realized by the strong combination of the automobile industry and the technology industry in the intelligent era.
At the same time, through the cooperation with Lantu, Huawei has also entered this rapidly growing high-value-added market without the opportunity for MPV models, which undoubtedly has long-term and rich value for building a complete Huawei-based travel ecosystem.
As Lu Fang, CEO of Landmap, said: The strong alliance between Landmap and Huawei is an effective practice of the integration and innovation of the automotive industry and the technology industry, and will accelerate the intelligent process of the MPV industry.
In recent months, the monthly sales of Lantu Dreamer have stabilized at around 3,000 units, which is a very good performance for existing products. However, looking at the market stock of new energy MPVs, the upward potential of Lantu Dreamer is very large. Especially with Huawei’s deep empowerment, the product competitiveness of new cars has returned to the peak. Coupled with Huawei’s own influence, it seems that the new Lantu Dreamer, which will be pre-sold on August 28, can get a brighter sales performance.
