It should be said that the emergence of Wuling Capgemini has changed many people's impression of 100,000-class family cars, and the concept of "big four-seater family cars" has also attracted a large number of fans for Capgemini. However, Wuling Capgemini did not stop moving forward, in order to further seize the market share, it launched a more powerful Capgemini 280T model on the basis of the current model, and the new car has been officially launched on the evening of February 22. Previously, many friends asked what is different from the current model, and today we will answer this question for you.
The Wuling Capgemini 280T launched two new cars, the automatic premium 280T with a guide price of 115,800 and the automatic flagship 280T with a guide price of 125,800. Because it is a new model, in terms of exterior styling, interior design and space, the gap between Capgemini 280T and the current model is not large, and the main places that have changed are intelligent technology and powertrain.
In the exterior part, the Capgemini 280T continues the Design Concept of the Capgemini family's wing-moving aesthetic design, and the overall style tends to be fashionable and young. In terms of the use of the lines of the whole vehicle, the Capgemini 280T is also dominated by sharp elements, with a variety of silver details, such as the filling of the mid-mesh grille, the trim on the upper edge of the body side window, and the trim above the rear license plate, etc., while showing the sharp style, it further reflects the exquisite sense of the whole car.
In terms of interior, Capgemini 280T is mainly simple and generous, the sense of layering of the center console is very strong, and the wrapped lines look more coordinated after sketching. The central control screen and LCD instrument are still 10.25 inches and 7 inches, but the new car is equipped with the Ling OS Lingxi system, so in terms of intelligent technology, Capgemini 280T has better performance.
Riders familiar with silver label Wuling may have some understanding of the Ling OS Lingxi system, which is also mounted on Wuling Xingchen. Its main feature is that it can choose the virtual IP image of Xiao Wu and Xiao Ling, and the system has a built-in exclusive voice package, so that the voice recognition control is no longer as cold as the machine. For daily use of cars, the more practical is its continuous dialogue function, it is not like the same price model can only ask a question and answer, continuous dialogue or continuous voice commands, Ling OS Lingxi system can recognize and perform operations, the use of more humane.
In the seat section, the Capgemini 280T is wrapped in leather, and the automatic flagship 280T comes with main driver electric adjustment and heating. Of course, its center of gravity is still the second row of independent seats, in addition to the front and rear sliding, backrest support adjustment, the two independent seats are also equipped with independent leg rests, support 160mm lateral movement. As for the two seats in the third row, they support 5/5 minutes of independent hidden reclining, which is more flexible.
Power is the core of the Capgemini 280 upgrade, the new car is equipped with a maximum power of 130kW, the maximum torque of 290N·m 1.5T engine, the book data compared to the current model has been significantly improved. In terms of drivetrain, it is the CVT stepless gearbox. The engine output is stronger, and the power increase is certainly inevitable, but how much can be improved can only be known after the actual test.
In addition to the above, its automatic flagship 280T model is also equipped with driver assistance features. Intelligent driving assistance functions including full-speed adaptive cruise system, active braking, cornering cruise assist, anti-collision warning, collision mitigation and other mainstream configurations, it is equipped to alleviate a certain driving difficulty. The comprehensive configuration performance has also reached the level of family cars at the same price.
Obviously, although the price of the Capgemini 280T has increased, it is matched by its progress in intelligent technology and power performance. The progress in these two aspects, in my opinion, actually makes Capgemini's car more suitable for the attributes of a large four-seater family car, and can also give consumers who are willing to choose it a better driving experience. Therefore, I personally feel that its fluctuation in price is still acceptable. I don't know what you think about the upgraded Capgemini 280T?
