Gillian Wing Long L380 Land Air Launches Pre-Sales with Four Trim Levels

The Gillian Wing Long L380 Land, a new electric multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), has officially launched its pre-sale phase in China. The vehicle boasts four trim levels priced between CNY 33.99 and CNY 49.99 thousand.

Designed to occupy the middle and upper segment of the MPV market, the Gillian Wing Long L380 Land is built on a pure electric powertrain, previously belonging to the LEVC brand. This new model is an upgraded version with improved interior features.

Pricing

| Variant | Price (CNY) | | --- | --- | | 570km Exquisite Edition | 33.99 | | 650km Flagship Edition | 41.99 | | 825km Extraordinary Edition | 44.99 | | 805km Flagship Edition | 49.99 |

Design

From the outside, the Gillian Wing Long L380 Land retains its previous design language, drawing inspiration from the Airbus Series of aircraft. The front aspect features an enlarged nose section with a closed-face front end and integrated headlamps that resemble fins.

Three-stripe LED light bars adorn the roof above the headlights, creating a distinctive appearance. Below these LEDs are LED fog lights arranged in a U-shape to minimize visual obstruction.

When viewed from the side or rear, it appears more substantial than anticipated due to its size, yet thanks to bold design elements such as an exposed black and grey carbon fiber roof combined with angular ABC column shapes, this bulkiness is leveled off proportionately.

Interior

Comfort levels reach new heights here. Seat material now consists of super plush phenol-based synthetic leather (available throughout all trim options) with every seat boasting an advanced soft and supportive texture. The materials quality makes for a perfect balance in comfort and practicality. However, it's the interior upgrade in general application with significant presence across the whole vehicle that brings even broader value.

Key to note here is the generous use of locally prized Yunnan (also referred as Imperial) pear wood on most of this luxurious automobile, the largest allocation we have found spans all eight seats, while maintaining an attractive aesthetic and environmentally friendly features.

Inside too, improvements bring along high display tech – a touchscreen central dashboard accompanied by new three-spoke wheel in alloy style. An essential part that helps differentiate its presence from others.

It features more dynamic lines as it navigates through performance-oriented functions to create a driving environment rich in tactile sensations when selecting the right gear via advanced haptic drive input technology.

Performance

The electric vehicle is expected to keep pace with its predecessor's specifications, boasting a maximum power output of 272 horsepower and maximum speed at an astonishing 675 kilometers. Meanwhile, a more performance-oriented variant boasts up to 544 horsepower with improved overall efficiency to take it past other competitors in the latest EV landscape.

The onboard fast charging capability also stands as yet another strength – capable to achieve full-to-80% recharge in just under 30 minutes and providing supplementary power boost at intervals for longer road trips, ensuring seamless traveling experiences.

Editor Review

For a relatively obscure brand like LEVC that has been overshadowed by competitors like Tesla and BYD, launching vehicles through partnerships is undoubtedly an ideal strategy to elevate market recognition.

By combining Gillian Wing Long Land into the lineup with multiple seating configurations - specifically catering for varying consumer lifestyle needs as mentioned above- they gain substantial competitive edge and can stand against their competitors hand in hand.

As a new multi-seat vehicle, it effectively addresses unmet market demand that has been overlooked by more established EV pioneers. The overall build quality of various trim levels showcases well-rounded attention to comfort, safety, sustainability and innovative features in each area which sets these vehicles ahead of others for potential buyers to weigh their options.

Please note – this review aims at broad readership from consumer to industry professionals seeking genuine value within an electric age with a plethora of choices to explore.
