Zeekr 009 vs. Lantu Dreamer Huawei Qiankun Intelligent Driving Edition, which one is the better MPV in the 400,000-level?

In mid-September this year, the 2024 Lantu Dreamer was officially launched, with a total of 9 models. The new car provides two power options: plug-in hybrid and pure electric. It is divided into Kunpeng version and Qiankun version according to intelligent driving capabilities. The Qiankun version is equipped with Huawei Qiankun Intelligent Driving ADS 3.0 system. This car is also the first MPV equipped with Huawei Qiankun Intelligent Driving ADS 3.0 and Hongmeng cockpit. The price is 339,900 yuan to 469,900 yuan. Yesterday, Lantu officially announced that the Dreamer has exceeded 20,000 orders in 21 days since its launch.

Before the Dreamer was launched, the Zeekr 009 had already entered the market, launching three models, namely the six-seat executive version and the seven-seat aisle version (two-wheel drive/four-wheel drive). This car and the 009 Brilliant four-seat version together constitute the 009 family, with a starting price of 439,000 yuan. Upgrading to the 140-degree Kirin battery version requires an additional 50,000 yuan. In the past August and September, the car won the sales champion of EV models above 400,000 yuan.

As a new power brand incubated by Dongfeng, Lantu mainly focuses on plug-in hybrid and extended-range models, but its three-electric technology is also good. Zeekr is a high-end pure electric brand under Geely, and has not yet entered the extended-range field. Therefore, this article compares the Lantu Dreamer 2025 four-wheel drive flagship Qiankun version and the Zeekr 009 four-wheel drive seven-seat aisle version.

1. The Zeekr 009 is 10,000 yuan more expensive than the Lantu Dreamer, and has a range of 100 kilometers longer.

As can be seen from the above picture, the two have their own advantages and disadvantages in terms of size. The Lantu Dreamer is better than the Zeekr 009 in length and height. The Zeekr 009 is better than the Lantu Dreamer in width and wheelbase. In terms of lateral space and ride comfort, the Dreamer may be slightly inferior. In terms of the minimum luggage compartment volume, the Zeekr 009 is 573L, while the Lantu Dreamer is only 348L.

In terms of power, the maximum power of the motor of Zeekr 009 is higher than that of Lantu Dreamer, making the maximum speed of Zeekr 30 kilometers higher than that of Dreamer. At the same time, in terms of power consumption, the difference between the two is not much. In terms of CLTc range, Lantu Dreamer has a range of 97 kilometers more than Zeekr 009. Of course, CLTC is an ideal situation, and the maximum range still depends on the driver's style.

In terms of price, Lantu Dreamer is 9,100 yuan more expensive than Zeekr 009, but the former has a longer range. Both are medium-to-large MPVs. If you prefer strong power, fast acceleration and larger loading space, choose Zeekr 009. If you don't care so much, you can choose the new Dreamer.

2. Both are Ningde era ternary lithium batteries, but Zeekr 009 recharges faster

Comparing the battery and chassis, both Lantu Dreamer and Zeekr 009 are equipped with 108-degree ternary lithium battery packs, but the latter can charge at a speed of up to 5C and also supports an 800V high-voltage platform. Lantu has not disclosed relevant data.

As for battery manufacturers, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Ltd. is a joint venture between Geely and CATL, so the two are technically comparable, but the Zeekr 009 is faster in charging, taking only 0.19 hours to fully charge, while the Dreamer takes three times as long. In terms of energy replenishment efficiency, the Zeekr 009 crushes the Lantu Dreamer.

In terms of chassis, the suspension types of the two models, Lantu Dreamer and Zeekr 009, are the same, both are double wishbones in the front and multi-link independent suspensions in the rear, and both are equipped with air suspension as standard. Both products have the technical support of large manufacturers and are on par with each other. In terms of tires, Lantu Dreamer uses R20 tires, while Zeekr 009 uses R19 tires. Zeekr 009 will be more comfortable and more fuel-efficient. Lantu Dreamer will provide better grip and handling during driving.

3. In terms of comfort configuration, Zeekr 009 is far superior to Lantu, but the latter is backed by Huawei

In terms of smart cockpit, the central control screens used by Lantu Dreamer and Zeekr 009 are of similar size. Both cars have rear screens, but Lantu Dreamer has an additional 15.4-inch co-pilot screen. In terms of smart cabin chips, Zeekr 009 has an additional Snapdragon 8295 chip than Lantu Dreamer, which will have a faster response speed.

In terms of intelligent driving hardware configuration, the top configuration of Lantu Dreamer is better than Zeekr 009. Lantu Dreamer has 3 millimeter-wave radars, while Zeekr 009 has 1. The number of cameras is also less in the latter. Although both are equipped with laser radars, the performance of Huawei's 192-line laser radar in Lantu Dreamer is better than that of Zeekr 009's RoboSense.

In terms of intelligent driving chips, Dreamer has not disclosed the name of the intelligent driving chip, but Zeekr 009 is still using Mobileye chips. Huawei's MDC series chips have stronger computing power than Zeekr 009's Mobileye, so Dreamer Huawei's intelligent driving is better than Zeekr 009.

In terms of comfort configuration, the Zeekr 009 is equipped with leather seats, while the Dreamer is only equipped with imitation leather. However, in terms of functions, the Lantu Dreamer supports second-row lumbar adjustment and third-row heating. In terms of audio-visual experience, the Zeekr 009 has 30 Yamaha speakers, while the Lantu Dreamer has only 22 speakers. In terms of audio-visual experience, the Zeekr 009 is better than the Lantu Dreamer.

At present, the rear-wheel drive intelligent driving version of Zeekr 009 does not have city NOA, only highway NOA, while the highway and city NOA of Lantu Dreamer have been opened. Zeekr's city NOA is still in the development and testing stage, and it will take some time for large-scale use. The shortcoming of Lantu Dreamer is the battery life. Zeekr 009 can also add 30,000 optional 140-degree battery packs, with a battery life of 900 kilometers, while Lantu only has a configuration of 605 kilometers.

Through comparison, we can see that Lantu Dreamer is better than Zeekr 009 in terms of intelligent driving, entertainment and price, while Zeekr 009 is better than Lantu Dreamer in terms of power, seat material, battery life and space. If you care more about intelligent driving and more seat functions, you can choose Lantu Dreamer. If you pursue battery life, power, leather seats and audio-visual experience, you may choose Zeekr 009.
