To say that the pure electric SUV market in 2025 is huge is an understatement. As ordinary users, our logic in choosing a car is actually very straightforward - there should be enough space so that the whole family can travel without being frustrated; the battery life should be stable and don't have to worry about charging frequently; intelligence should not just stop at a fancy UI interface, but can really reduce the burden in daily use of the car. As for appearance and safety, they have long been rigid needs that cannot be compromised. But if you really have a budget of 250,000 and open the car app, there are so many models that you can be dazzled by. Test drive, touch the car, check the configuration, and ask for word-of-mouth reviews. As you choose, you will always feel that something is missing, either the space is short, or the smart performance is average. It is not that easy to gather a "hexagon warrior".
Against this background, I tried the new Lantu Zhiyin. To be honest, I didn’t have too many expectations before setting off. Everyone had heard too many big words at the press conference. But after driving it once, I was a little surprised - there were no obvious shortcomings, and many details just hit the core needs of a family car. This made me, a middle-aged person who usually worries about my family, start to feel shaken.

To say that the pure electric SUV market in 2025 is huge is an understatement. As ordinary users, our logic in choosing a car is actually very straightforward - there should be enough space so that the whole family can travel without being frustrated; the battery life should be stable and don't have to worry about charging frequently; intelligence should not just stop at a fancy UI interface, but can really reduce the burden in daily use of the car. As for appearance and safety, they have long been rigid needs that cannot be compromised. But if you really have a budget of 250,000 and open the car app, there are so many models that you can be dazzled by. Test drive, touch the car, check the configuration, and ask for word-of-mouth reviews. As you choose, you will always feel that something is missing, either the space is short, or the smart performance is average. It is not that easy to gather a "hexagon warrior".
Against this background, I tried the new Lantu Zhiyin. To be honest, I didn’t have too many expectations before setting off. Everyone had heard too many big words at the press conference. But after driving it once, I was a little surprised - there were no obvious shortcomings, and many details just hit the core needs of a family car. This made me, a middle-aged person who usually worries about my family, start to feel shaken.
Space is what I care about most. The body size of Zhiyin is 4810×1900×1636mm, and the wheelbase is 2925mm. It doesn’t look exaggerated, but its occupancy rate has reached 90.8%, and the seating space is wider than many larger SUVs. I'm 180cm tall and weigh 170 pounds. The back seat is comfortable, with room for one punch above my head, and two and a half punches for my legs. The child's safety seat is easily placed, and three people sitting in the back seat do not feel cramped. The regular capacity of the trunk is 652L, and it is 1588L when folded down. I once loaded a stroller, camping equipment and several large bags of daily necessities at once, without any sense of sacrifice. This kind of optimization of space is not simply to increase the length of the car, but to "steal" the riding part through designs such as shortening the front of the car. The details are very careful.
The comfort of the seats also did not disappoint. Focusing on zero-pressure cushioning, the 12-layer structure provides both support and softness. The surface layer of bamboo fiber is breathable, and the bottom layer of springs is resistant to speed bumps and bad roads. The zero-gravity design of the passenger car has been well received by family members - after raising the leg rest and lowering the backrest, you can relax and rest during long trips. This kind of detail is easy to perceive when traveling with families with elderly and children, and is more practical than stacking luxurious configurations.
In terms of safety, it is not highly hyped, but it is equipped with seven levels of frontal collision protection made of real steel, a combination of 72.3% high-strength steel and aluminum alloy, a 2000MPa anti-collision beam, and an integrated laser welded door knocker. They are all visible systems that make driving more secure.
Appearance varies from person to person, but Zhiyin’s appearance balances domesticity and dignity. The through-type light strip, split headlights and smooth body lines make it recognizable but not exaggerated. The small fastback design at the rear not only brings out a sense of sportiness, but also maintains the practicality of storage. The whole vehicle has the atmosphere of the new energy era.
When it comes to smart configuration, this car left a distinct impression on me. The 15.05-inch OLED curved sliding screen is both a visual highlight and a functional innovation - it can slide left and right to facilitate the driver and co-driver to check or entertain in different scenes. The car uses Hongmeng Cockpit 5 with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip. Its smoothness and response speed are very advantageous in the same price range. AR-HUD superimposes navigation and dynamic road conditions to make driving safer and more focused. Voyah SOUND's 20-speaker audio can create a theater effect in a closed cabin, which not only enhances the experience during long distances, but also soothes children's emotions.
Thoughtful accessories like the 7L heating and cooling refrigerator are also added details in daily life. It is very practical for cold drinks in summer and hot tea in winter, when taking care of children or taking care of the elderly at home.
The drive and chassis tuning continue the comfort orientation of family cars. Front MacPherson + rear five-link independent suspension, coupled with EDC intelligent damping adjustment system, can automatically switch between soft and hard according to road conditions. When encountering bumps on gravel roads and manhole covers, the suspension can filter out most of the fine vibrations, and children in the back seat are not even shaken awake; there is enough support when cornering at high speed. The elderly will also feel stable when sitting in and will not complain.
Assisted driving is the type that "doesn't steal the show." Equipped with Huawei Qiankun ADS4 system, equipped with 29 sensors, it can help you share the burden of high-speed active cruising, automatic lane changing, and car following, but it always follows the bottom line of "the person has the right to drive". In urban congestion and bad weather, the assistance is reliable enough but does not replace your reactions. This kind of restraint makes people more trustworthy.
The power and endurance configuration is divided into rear-wheel drive with 230kW and 313 horsepower, and can accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers in 6.8 seconds, and four-wheel drive with 405kW and 700 Nm, which can accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers in 4.3 seconds. The battery capacity is 81kWh and 112kWh, and the CLTC range is 650 kilometers and 901 kilometers respectively. Equipped with an 800-volt high-voltage platform and 5C supercharging technology, it can be charged from 20% to 80% in 10 minutes, and can be charged from 10% to 80% in 16 minutes in extreme cold conditions. This means that long-distance travel or inter-provincial travel, recharging power is no longer something that needs to be planned long in advance, and the sense of freedom of impromptu departure is back.
Some details also improve the convenience of life. The whole car has 35 storage spaces and a 72L privacy compartment. Camping boxes, small refrigerators, chairs, etc. can be stored in an orderly manner; the warm beige interior is equipped with a canopy and electric sunshade, which takes into account the warmth and high-end feeling of home; the operating logic of the steering wheel and gearbox can be easily used by the elderly.
Prices range from 202,900 to 242,900 yuan. Combining its configuration, space, driving quality and intelligence level, it does not have mysterious black technology to impress people, but makes the parts that a family car really needs to be solid, smooth and easy to use.
If you plan to buy a pure electric medium-sized SUV with a budget of 250,000 in 2025, you can invite your family to try out the new Lantu Zhiyin. From space, comfort, driving performance, to intelligent ease of use and battery life, it scores nearly full marks in every dimension for home use. For those who want to balance family happiness and travel freedom, this may be the rare "hexagon player". Will you give priority to price, or are you more willing to pay for these daily details? You are welcome to experience it and share your views.
