On February 22, Wuling Capgemini 280T new car was launched, the guidance price of 115,800-12.58 million yuan, the biggest highlight of this new car is equipped with a more powerful 1.5T engine, while The Ling OS Lingxi system is updated, and the degree of intelligence has been improved. There are not many changes in the exterior styling, interior design, etc., and it is still the home MPV that has a bit of personality and has enough internal space.
177 hp/290 Nm
Let's first take a look at the new powertrain of Wuling Capgemini, which is an important product point of this new car. It is still a 1.5L displacement, turbocharged intake form, but this time the horsepower has increased to 177Ps, and the maximum torque has increased to 290N·m. Such parameters are already at a high level that can be achieved at the same displacement.
Although the price has increased, it is worth the money compared to the momentum of the increase. The low-power version of Capgemini we have test drive, power is enough is no problem, deep on the accelerator can also give a good push back feeling, as a family car is enough. But to say that the driving passion is lacking, and this time the new engine fills this gap very well. After that, we get a test drive and then analyze its driving experience for everyone.
New Ling OS Lingxi system
Another big change of the 2022 Wuling Capgemini is the system of this car, the 10.25-inch central control screen is standard, the Ling OS Lingxi system has been slightly upgraded, the UI has become more beautiful, there are a variety of themes to choose from, more concise and clean as the main element, not easy to produce visual fatigue.
The evolutionary Ling OS Lingxi system has once again improved its intelligence, supporting many remote control functions, Bluetooth keys, road books and other functions. In addition to the common control of air conditioning and multimedia, speech recognition can also have wake-free, continuous speaking functions, more like a real human dialogue, avoiding the embarrassment of frequent use of wake words or mechanical dialogue. For example, in the process of daily use of the car, you can directly say that the air conditioner temperature is higher and the sound is louder.
The average monthly sales are more than odyssey
Compared with the popular models such as Jiahua and Sai Na, Wuling Capgemini is relatively low-key, and we rarely hear people discuss Capgemini. But from another point of view, the sales of this car is not low, selling more than 60,000 units last year, with an average monthly sales of more than 5,000 units, surpassing the Odyssey. It can be seen that Capgemini is more popular among people in need.
Wuling's concept is to build the cars that people need, and the characteristics of Wuling Capgemini are "cheap and large". For example, the whole series is equipped with reversing images, parking radar, and cruise control, and the version of more than 100,000 yuan is equipped with matrix LED headlights. On the one hand, Capgemini's product strength is indeed excellent enough, on the other hand, the price of Wuling Capgemini is not high, positioning the 100,000 yuan household market, which is a model that our ordinary consumers can afford.
The static part does not change much
Wuling Capgemini's external shape and MPV seem to be incompatible, on this front face, anyone who looks at it will think that it is an SUV, avoiding the psychology that everyone does not like to be treated as a driver. A large amount of chrome is covered with the middle net, and the V-shaped LOGO in the middle is like a pair of small wings, and the overall feeling is very strong. The lights on both sides are split design, the upper part is responsible for the daily running lights and turn signals, the lower part is the low beam, high beam, as mentioned earlier, the middle and high-end models This part is the LED light source, which adopts a matrix design. And the new model adds an automatic headlight function, which should be a configuration that many consumers like very much.
The side waistline runs through the entire body, extending from the front fenders to the rear and connecting to the taillights, and both door handles are on this line. The D-pillar part uses black trim panels to create the appearance of a suspended roof. The entire body is more than 4.8 meters, which is in the same class as the Odyssey. The rear lighting and the front of the car echo each other, which are relatively flat designs. The two reflectors at the bottom have the meaning of replacing the exhaust pipe.
The interior design basically follows the 20 models, the style is biased towards modern simplicity, in addition to an irregular independent suspension screen on the center console, you can only see the air conditioner outlet and a key start, warning light two buttons, very in line with the aesthetics of modern young consumers. The materials used in the center console are a bit unexpected, and it is indeed surprising that there are different materials of finish stitching at this price point, and there are some stitches.
The interior space is still "large four-seater", and the second row of seats is set independently, and the comfort level is the highest in the car. It supports front and rear and backrest adjustments, the middle part begins to support left and right and leg rest adjustments, and the high-end model has an electric adjustment function. It is said that it is a "big four-seater", in fact, it is a 6-seat layout of 2+2+2, but most of the family car scenes use 4 seats, and the probability of 6 people traveling is not high, so the second row of experience is brought up as much as possible. Of course, it is not that the third row is uncomfortable to sit up, and it is equipped with a USB charging port, an air conditioner outlet, and a head air curtain here.
Summary: The 280T version of Wuling Capgemini has improved its power performance significantly, and the intelligence of the evolved Ling OS Lingxi system has once again improved, and the ease of use has been greatly improved. Wuling Capgemini, which used to be just an ordinary family car, this new model gives more driving passion and fills this part of the market gap. So we have reason to look forward to the sales performance of Wuling Capgemini in 2022.
