For family cars, the most important thing is to sit comfortably and drive fuel efficiently. In terms of fuel saving alone, most cars such as Xuanyi and Corolla can achieve this, but their riding comfort may not be as good as SUV models such as CR-V and Tiguan L, so it is not a simple thing to find a model that takes into account fuel saving on the basis of ensuring ride comfort. In view of this, according to the groups with different budgets, I selected these two comfortable and fuel-saving family cars, one with a price increase of 70,000 yuan and one cheap and practical.
The first one: Xena Sienna
Xena SIENNA is built by Toyota based on the TNGA architecture, listed in China in October 2021, priced at 30.98-40.58 million yuan, compared with Toyota Alpha, which starts at more than 700,000 yuan, Xena SIENNA, which also has Toyota endorsement, is obviously much more affordable, but the terminal sales office of the car needs to increase the price by 70,000 yuan, that is to say, the starter model of Saina SIENNA is close to 400,000.
It is reported that the increase in the price of Sai Na SIENNA, the pre-sale order volume of more than 10,000 vehicles, but the actual number of cars picked up is not so much, like the retail sales in November is only a few hundred, although the wholesale sales in December are close to 3,000, there is also a big gap. The reason behind this gap is whether it is boycotted by the Chinese people due to the price increase, or whether it is affected by the shortage of chips, resulting in insufficient production supply, which is still unknown.
Sales aside, Xena SIENNA's product performance is still good, especially based on the ride comfort brought by the large space. It can be seen that the car has a 5165/1995/1765 (1785) mm three-dimensional circumference, and a 3060mm wheelbase, when the height of the 172cm male, after sitting in the third row, can get the maximum legroom of 1 arm.
The most comfortable part of the whole car should be the second row of seats that provide the slide rail, which in addition to the leather wrapping, also provides leg rests and double armrests, which can be adjusted to half-liter and full-liter states, and the double armrests can fully support the arms and facilitate the stretching of the body. When the third row of seats is hidden, the second row of seats can be fully opened, thereby improving the riding comfort of travel.
As for the fuel consumption part, Xena SIENNA is equipped with a hybrid system with a 2.5L engine as the core, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of NEDC per 100 kilometers is only 5.3L, compared with the Buick GL8 with a fuel consumption of 7.85 liters per 100 kilometers, the cost of the car used by the Xena SIENNA is indeed much lower.
The second paragraph: Wuling Capgemini
Capgemini is the first silver standard car under SAIC-GM-Wuling, and it is also a global car built by Wuling for the world, and the process and quality of the car are in line with international first-class standards. Under the endorsement of such car companies and quality, capgemini soon after entering the family car market, its monthly sales easily increased to 10,000 vehicles, and ranked among the forefront of sales in the market, which can also be regarded as the "star car" in the car market.
Unlike the Xena SIENNA, which starts at more than 300,000 yuan, Capgemini's top price is less than 120,000 yuan, compared to Capgemini's price seems to be much closer to the people, even ordinary families can start without pressure.
Of course, Capgemini's product performance is not bad. It can be seen that Capgemini, positioned in the compact family car market, has a 4875mm length, 1880mm width, and 2800mm wheelbase, compared with the Corolla with 4635mm length, 1780mm width, 2700mm wheelbase; with 4621mm length, 1855mm width, 2661 (2660) mm wheelbase CR-V, Capgemini's size advantage is also obvious, so it seems that Capgemini's size and space can be at the forefront of the compact family car market.
As for ride comfort, Capgemini's second row of seats is the same as Xena SIENNA, the bottom is inlaid with multi-directional sliding rails, the seat is wrapped in leather, the leg rest supports electric adjustment, and the seat back also supports 180 flat, that is, when the third row of seats is hidden, the second row of seats can be adjusted to the back, and open the leg rest, flat seat backrest, bring a separate "single cot", who will feel uncomfortable for the passengers sitting in the seat?
In fact, Capgemini's main passenger seat can also be flattened, and when the seat is flattened, it can also be combined with the second row of seats to bring a comfortable and spacious "big bed". In addition to supporting electric adjustment, the main driver's seat also has its own heating function when using the car, which means that Capgemini takes into account the driving comfort of both drivers and passengers.
In terms of fuel consumption, Capgemini is equipped with a 1.5T engine, which can bring a maximum power of 147 horsepower after combining the total mass of the body of 1730kg, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of 7L per 100 kilometers. Compared with the syna SIENNA equipped with the hybrid system, such fuel consumption is indeed not fuel-efficient, but the cost of the car per kilometer after conversion is 5 cents, which is indeed not high.
Summary: The above-mentioned Toyota Xena SIENNA and Wuling Capgemini can bring good riding comfort, but also very fuel-efficient, it is important that the brands backed by the two are first-class brands, and the quality is guaranteed. Among them, for friends with sufficient budgets, I think that the startable value of Xena Sienna is good, and there is also face when it is opened. Of course, compared with the Sena SIENNA, Capgemini's cost performance is also higher, and as a global car, it will not lose face when driving out. What do you think of these two models? If so, which one would you choose?
