It is reported that on the basis of the original Wuling Capgemini, the car is equipped with a 1.5T high-power engine, and the power part is significantly improved. So how does this Wuling Capgemini 280T open? What else has changed? Today we will take a look through the test drive experience.
First of all, the static experience part, the appearance of the Wuling Capgemini 280T is basically the same as the current model, using a family-style pneumatic aesthetic design language.

In the interior part, the Wuling Capgemini 280T also basically follows the styling design of the current model, and the center console adopts a tiled layout, with a paint panel, soft material cover, and the plastic feeling is basically negligible. There is basically no big difference in configuration, leather flat-bottom steering wheel, leather seats, armrest boxes, sunroof automatic air conditioning, etc. are equipped.
In actual operation, the author found that the human-computer interaction experience of Wuling Capgemini 280T is a big surprise, because the new Wuling Capgemini 280T is equipped with the Ling OS Lingxi system independently developed by Wuling, such as the Internet of Vehicles, navigation, voice recognition control, OTA upgrades and other mainstream functions, Wuling Capgemini 280T is able to support.
In terms of audio-visual entertainment, it can also support Cool Dog music, Himalayan radio, etc., which can bring good fun to daily travel. Of course, the most impressive, or continuous voice control function, of course, I said "turn on the air conditioning, turn down the volume, open and close the car window" such a continuous command, Wuling Capgemini 280T is able to continuously complete these operations, interactive experience can be said to be very intelligent and convenient.
In the space part, it is reported that the length, width and height of the Wuling Capgemini 280T will still be: 4875/1880/1700mm, the wheelbase is 2800mm, the interior is equipped with six seats, the third row can be converted into a "magic space" for storage and flattening, and the second row of independent seats that can lie flat + leg rest are reserved.

Compared with the current model, it has increased by 30 horsepower and 40 Nm, and the improvement of the book data is quite obvious. In terms of transmission, the Wuling Capgemini 280T still uses an 8-speed CVT stepless gearbox, and does not use a dual-clutch transmission with higher shifting efficiency, which can be seen that it is still the main home and smoothness.
In the dynamic part, the author's feeling of driving up is still relatively obvious compared with the current model. Not only thanks to stronger power performance, in the throttle, power response part, Wuling Capgemini 280T also has obvious optimization tuning. For example, when the engine speed reaches 1000 rpm, you can feel the intervention of the turbocharger, and at 1500 rpm, you can feel a strong torque output, which also makes the Wuling Capgemini 280T bring obvious push back feeling in the initial stage.
Of course, due to the relationship between the CVT gearbox, the gear change response of the Wuling Capgemini 280T is not too fast, and the overall performance is relatively smooth and smooth, without frustration. Moreover, the steering wheel feels smoother and basically has no empty position, but it may be due to being too light, making the steering slightly sensitive and friendly to female drivers.
