When buying a car, many people will choose cars and SUVs as the first choice, after all, these two types of models are the most in the market and the most people buy the most. But in fact, if you buy a car for your family, cars and SUVs are not necessarily the best choice, like the Honda Odyssey, Toyota Syna, and the Wuling Capgemini we are going to talk about today, which are actually good cars.
(Wuling Capgemini)
Compared with Honda Odyssey and Toyota Saina, Wuling Capgemini is still somewhat different, at least in terms of positioning, Wuling Capgemini is much closer to the people. In terms of pricing, Wuling Capgemini aims at a price range of 85,800-116,800, which is close to the pricing range of many family cars, and the entry threshold is not high. However, some people will say, at this price, we can buy mainstream models like Changan CS55PLUS, Nissan Xuanyi, Wuling Capgemini and them, where is the advantage? Don't worry, let's find the answer by comparison.
(Changan CS55PLUS)
(Nissan Xuanyi)
For a family car, one of the most important attributes is size, after all, size is directly related to the interior space of a car. Among the three vehicles, Wuling Capgemini's body measurement data is 4875/1880/1690mm, and the wheelbase is 2800mm. The three circumferences of the Changan CS55PLUS are 4500 (4515)/1860 (1865)/1690 (1680) mm, and the wheelbase is 2650mm. The new Xuanyi fuel version has a three-dimensional circumference of 4641/1815/1447 (1450) mm and a wheelbase of 2712 mm.
In this comparison, it can be found that Wuling Capgemini is the largest of the three vehicles, and the car has advantages in the three circumference and wheelbase, which also shows that the interior space of Wuling Capgemini will be larger. In fact, Wuling Capgemini is also the only model among the three vehicles to offer a 6-seat layout, which the other two models cannot do. Not only that, the layout of Wuling Capgemini's 6 seats is also very different from the general 6 seats. The third row of seats at Wuling Capgemini can be hidden under the platform of the trunk after being receded, expanding the trunk space. The second row of seats can be approached from side to side, making it easier for consumers with small children at home to take care of their children.
In terms of car configuration, Wuling Capgemini also has advantages. The second row of Wuling Capgemini seats comes with leg rests, and there are up to 4 USB ports in the rear row, which can be easily charged in the second and third rows. The air conditioner that can independently adjust the air volume in the back row can reduce the air volume when the child sleeps to avoid the child's cold and cold. In addition, Wuling Capgemini also has a multi-layer sound insulation glass in the front row, which can reduce the noise in the car. In contrast, Changan CS55PLUS and Xinxuanyi fuel version, the seats of these two models do not have leg rests, nor are they equipped with multi-layer soundproof glass and independent air conditioning, in terms of riding comfort, the overall performance of Wuling Capgemini will be better.
In terms of power, Wuling Capgemini uses Wuling's classic 1.5T engine, which is codenamed LJO, with a maximum power of 147 horsepower and a peak torque of 250 Nm, and the power parameters are not bad in the 1.5T engine. Used to pull Wuling Capgemini, this 1.5T is more than enough, and there will be no "small horse-drawn cart". At the same time, Wuling Capgemini adopts a simulated 8-speed CVT gearbox suitable for home use, which makes the shift smoother and more suitable for home travel. Also using the CVT gearbox is the new Xuanyi, which is equipped with a 1.6L engine + CVT transmission as standard, this powertrain, the maximum power is 135 horsepower, the peak torque is 159 Nm, the power is smooth but the performance is not strong. The Changan CS55PLUS adopts a powertrain of 1.5T engine + 6MT/7DCT, with a maximum power of 180 horsepower or 188 horsepower and a peak torque of 300 Nm, which pays more attention to the driving experience.
From a home point of view, Wuling Capgemini is indeed better than the new Xuanyi fuel version and Changan CS55PLUS at the same price. The brilliance here is reflected in the larger space, more flexible seat layout, more comfortable interior configuration and smoother powertrain, which together really meet consumers' imaginations of "family cars". Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Wuling Capgemini's sales performance in the market is relatively outstanding, and it can sell more than 90,000 units in 365 days of listing.
