Exeed Lanyue

I chose the Exeed Lanyue for its high configuration, safety, third-row space, and affordability compared to joint-venture vehicles. I previously considered MPVs like GL8, Trumpchi M8, and Xinghai V9 but found their底盘 too low. Among 7-seat SUVs, the Shanhai T2 and Tiggo 9 had cramped third rows, while the Teramont and Talagon exceeded my budget. I also test-drove the Lanyue CDM but its sensitive throttle and brakes caused motion sickness. The third row has limited space for adults (1.7m tall with slight knee room), suitable for children on long trips. Urban fuel consumption is 13L/100km after 70km of driving; highway consumption is expected to be lower. The Lanyue offers better sound insulation (double-layer front glass and improved chassis隔音), more comfortable底盘, better 8-speaker audio, and a lower price than my previous Tiggo 8 Plus, though the 2026 2WD 7-seat seats are stiffer. The infotainment system's AC buttons are poorly positioned and prone to accidental activation; swapping them with the wireless charging pad would be better. Gear shifting is smooth, power is adequate for daily use, and the steering wheel is heavier than the Tiggo 8 Plus. I hope the build quality is more reliable than my previous Tiggo 8 Plus, which had issues with interior door handles, sunroof controllers, and the AC compressor.

I am not satisfied with my Exeed Lanyue that the infotainment system lacks QQ Music and the built-in KuGou Music has no playlist function. Third-party apps can't be installed freely; the QQ Music I installed by myself can't be controlled via steering wheel or voice, while the built-in KuGou can. There's no place for a phone holder, and the glove box is small. The car is heavy, so even with high-power 4WD, its acceleration is worse than my low-power 2WD Geely Xingrui 2.0T, but it's understandable. The Unicom network has no signal in my community basement, but the complaint is said to be solved within 2 months. Other aspects are nearly perfect. I chose it for 7-seat need after comparing with Fengyun T9, as it has good sound with amplifier, comfortable seats and stylish interior. Space is excellent, with acceptable ride for full 2nd and 3rd rows. It drives comfortably, though handling is not as good as my Xingrui sedan, but SUV's ride comfort is better. 1800km综合油耗11.5, which is reasonable for its weight and power. 4S store service is average, but the salesperson is nice. Haven't done the first maintenance yet.

I find the Exeed Lanyue very good-looking and耐看 in appearance, with high-end and atmospheric interior mostly covered in soft materials. Its configurations are quite rich for the price, having no rivals among fuel vehicles. The power feels a bit weak, but the handling is stable without飘 or vibration even at 120km/h on highways. The comprehensive fuel consumption is around 10, which is normal for such a large vehicle. The ACC and assisted lane change are好用, but need attention to large vehicle recognition, novice cut-ins, speed limit changes, and initial response issues; it lacks lane centering and speed limit-based driving. Most importantly, the 6-seat model can't have the first row flattened to make a bed like Li Auto and Lanshan; does anyone have modification solutions?
