Who is Fody? It is believed that most prospective car owners will not notice this brand when buying a car. The main reason is that the main product of Foday before is pickup truck. Although SUV has also been launched, neither brand promotion nor product sales have created too much momentum in the market. It was not until the launch of this brand new Lufu that Fudi began to make real efforts in the passenger car market. We borrowed a 1.9T diesel two drive version of Lanfu, and had a test drive for two days. During the test drive, we experienced various road conditions, such as high-speed, urban congestion, poor roads on construction sites, urban expressways, and had a comprehensive understanding of this new model. At present, this test of the owner's home is also the most comprehensive test of Lanfu's performance.
Fudi Lanfu test drive: the new Prado "copied" Lanfu design?
When the first batch of pictures were exposed just now, I just felt that Lanfu's style was very aggressive, which made me feel like a new Prado. However, when the real car comes in front of you, you will find that the appearance of this car is far more aggressive than expected, which is almost impossible for all domestic SUVs on the market at present. Its tall, strong and powerful body is full of lethality.
Speaking of appearance, did Lanfo draw on the design ideas of the new generation Prado at the beginning of the design? At this point, the editor of the owner's home talked with the manufacturer and dealers of Fody, and got a surprisingly unified answer: "If we say that the new Prado copied Lanfu, it is also because the design declaration drawing of Lanfu was submitted before the new Prado was listed, which is well documented."
In fact, who copied who is not the key to the problem. After all, the reference and imitation of appearance design has become commonplace in the entire automobile industry. The key question is whether there is a style of its own after learning from it, and whether the process can pass the standard. These works have been well done, not only in terms of momentum, but also in terms of workmanship, which is rare. Fody, who is a car body supplier, is really unique.
In fact, when you look at the details of Lanfu, it is just like New Prado. In terms of details, the design of headlights, front fog lights and tail lights is not very similar to that of the new Prado.
Coincidentally, we met the new and old Prado during the test drive. It was found that compared with the old Prado, Lanfu won in momentum. And stopping with New Prado is equally powerful. As for parking with ordinary cars, you can really "overlook all living beings".
The domineering momentum needs a strong body shape to set off, and we found several SUVs on the market to compare the size of the tough guy line.
| Model | Fudi takes advantage | Toyota Prado | Ford Ruijie | Grand Cherokee |
| Length (mm) | four thousand seven hundred and seventy-one | four thousand seven hundred and eighty | four thousand six hundred and ninety-nine | four thousand eight hundred and twenty-two |
| Width (mm) | one thousand eight hundred and seventy | one thousand eight hundred and eighty-five | one thousand nine hundred and thirty | two thousand one hundred and forty-five |
| Height (mm) | one thousand eight hundred and twenty-eight | one thousand eight hundred and forty-five | one thousand seven hundred and nine | one thousand seven hundred and eighty-one |
| Wheel base (mm) | two thousand seven hundred and ninety | two thousand seven hundred and ninety | two thousand eight hundred and twenty-five | two thousand nine hundred and fifteen |

From the data in the table above, compared with the aggressive models on the market, Lanfu has no disadvantage.
It should be noted that Lanfu tires are equipped with a set of 17 inch thick tires with a break width ratio of 70 as standard. The Goodyear tires equipped for our test drive models were modified by dealers themselves, more urban.
In general, the official guide price of the 1.9T diesel luxury version of the model we test drove is more than 130000 yuan. The face and enjoyment provided by Prado are just as good as those of the 500000 yuan Prado. From this point of view, it is worth taking advantage of. Of course, when buying a car, we can't just look at the appearance, but the interior is the core of our concern.
