Labels such as large space and flexible seats seem to be Honda's "daddy car" Odyssey in the past, but now with the development of the automobile industry, many rookies with the same label have been born. For example, Wuling's "big four-seater" family car, Capgemini, like the Odyssey, can be crowned as a space "magician". So, Capgemini and Odyssey, who is the best in the game?
(Honda Odyssey)
(Wuling Capgemini)
Before comparing space and static comfort, let's briefly understand the basic information of both sides, Odyssey is priced at 22.98-37.68 million, a proper mid-to-high-end product; Capgemini is priced at 858-11.68 million (excluding the upgraded version), a proper people-friendly player. After all, the price difference is nearly twice as much, and many people think that the best performance of the Odyssey is understandable, but in fact, only by comparing can there be an accurate answer!
First look at the body size, the length, width and height of the Odyssey are 4847/1820/1702 (1712) mm, the wheelbase is 2900mm; capgemini's length, width and height are 4875/1800/1690 (1700) mm, and the wheelbase is 2800mm; as far as the book parameters are concerned, the wheelbase of the Odyssey is longer, but the body length of The Wuling Capgemini is longer, which can't help but make the author curious about their actual riding space performance.
Although the size has a greater impact on the interior space, the decisive factor is the seat layout in the car and the related space optimization. In terms of seat layout, Odyssey adopts a "2+2+3" seven-seat layout, while Capgemini adopts a "2+2+2" six-seat layout, in fact, whether it is seven or six seats, it can meet the manned needs of most families, but the former pays more attention to the ability to carry people, while the latter pays more attention to the ride experience.
Taking the author's height of 175cm as an example, adjust the front row of the two cars to the same position distance, sit in the second row of the two cars respectively, under normal conditions, the maximum leg space that can be obtained is more than 2 punches, but the visual Odyssey is a little larger. However, this is not their "final form", because I found that after the third row of Capgemini seats is stored, the second row of seats can slide backwards, and the most thigh space can be further expanded, and the same Odyssey can do it. It can be said that in terms of spatial performance, Capgemini does not lose to Odyssey.
The large space can certainly make people happy, but if you want comfort, you have to look at the functionality of the seats, first of all, Odyssey, the second row of seat leg rests, left and right adjustments, seat heating functions, etc. can bring a certain degree of comfort, but these configurations are only available on the top model priced at 323,800. Turning your attention to the second row of Capgemini, not only has leg rests, but also seat left and right adjustment, although there is no seat heating function, but the key is that it is equipped with these in the premium model and above that cost 106,800. In addition, Capgemini's second row of seat backrests can be reclined at a larger angle, the largest is almost flat, and with leg rests, it can easily evolve into two single beds.
As for the trunk, the performance of Odyssey and Capgemini is actually not much different, when the three rows are raised, there is not much space left in the trunk of the two cars, but fortunately, a few small school bags can be put down, and there is no need to worry about daily use. If large items need to be loaded, the third row of seats in both cars can also be "stowed" under the floor, forming a flat plane. This design also improves the loading capacity and practicality of Odyssey and Capgemini, and maximizes the use of space, so they are also known as space "magicians".
It is not difficult to see that in terms of space and static comfort, in addition to the fact that the Odyssey will have a certain seat configuration advantage because of the higher price, almost no one can help anyone in the big aspect, and the space is relatively excellent, and it is more flexible. On static comfort, the performance of the two cars is also between Bo Zhong, if combined with the price, Capgemini is obviously more sincere.
