Two days ago, Wuling just launched two Capgemini 280T models, the flagship model of which is priced at 125,800. The bydir Song MAX, a competitor that is not much different from its price, has a top price of 124,800 yuan, a difference of only 1,000 yuan, which will inevitably make people fall into the dilemma of how to choose these two cars. Today, we will target these two multi-seat family cars, and see who is more worth starting?
(Capgemini 280T)
In the appearance part, although the Capgemini 280T adopts the standard silhouette of an MPV, from the horizontal chrome trim of the central network, the sharp body lines and many details, this Capgemini is showing favors to young consumer groups or grandfathers who do not want to be tied to business.
The Song MAX is also a standard MPV shape, BYD's proud "dragon face" front can still be found in this car, from a personal point of view, it will be more stable than the Capgemini 280T, but it is younger without it. At the same time, the Song MAX wheel hub is R17 inches, and the lighting is only ordinary shape and LED light source; while the Capgemini 280T is R18 inches, which is a matrix LED headlight, and the body is more slender.
In terms of configuration, the Capgemini 280T flagship, which is the top match of the family, is also worthy of its flagship identity in this regard. After all, the price of the car has come to 125,800, in addition to the matrix LED headlights, front soundproof glass, dual-zone independent air conditioning, leather steering wheel, main driver electric seat (with heating), Ling OS Lingxi system, second row of independent seats + leg rests, full speed adaptive cruise, 360 degree shadow, active braking, fatigue driving reminder, etc., are also given standard.
(Song MAX)
As the top of the whole series of Song MAX, its configuration is naturally not too bad, such as 6 airbags, 360 degree ring shadow, uphill assist, can not open the panoramic sunroof, front row keyless entry is also standard. And more perfect L2-level driver assistance equipment, a variety of door opening methods, built-in driving recorder and other functions are still Capgemini 280T does not have. Of course, the Capgemini 280T also has functions that Song MAX does not have, such as seat heating, automatic parking, front reversing radar, etc., which are considered to have their own advantages and disadvantages.
For family cars, spatial performance has always been the focus of everyone's attention. From the perspective of body size, Capgemini 280T has a length, width and height of 4875*1880*1700mm and wheelbase of 2800mm, while Song MAX is 4710*1810*1680mm and wheelbase is 2785mm. In contrast, the Capgemini 280T is in the lead in all aspects of its size, especially the length of the car is 165mm.
At the seat level, capgemini 280T is wrapped in leather material, and can be switched freely between 4-6 seats, and in the four-seat state, the rear riding performance of the car can be described as a "cheap version of the Odyssey". The distance between front and rear movement is more than 0.5 meters, and the flat backrest can be turned into a single bed; including the trunk volume, in the case of six full seats, the Capgemini 280T will not drop the chain, not to mention that in the four-seat state, its third row of seats can also be flat storage, so that the flexibility of the interior space is naturally improved a lot.
Song MAX is an imitation leather seat, and the interior of the car supports two layouts: 2-2-2/2-2-3. Let's come to the 6-seat version, although its size is not dominant, but the actual riding space is actually not much different from capgemini 280T, the height of 178cm occupants can get a good experience in the first and second rows, but its seat change method is more conventional, in addition to the first row of support Capgemini 280T does not have the waist support adjustment, its second row of seats can only move back and forth, can not be adjusted left and right, and there is no leg rest design.
Powerly, both cars are equipped with a 1.5T nose, it is worth mentioning that the Capgemini 280T is equipped with a high-power engine with 177Ps/290N·m, and after matching the CVT gearbox, the power is better than the regular version of Capgemini response. It also brings a smooth driving experience and good fuel economy, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of NEDC reaches 7.6L/100km.
Song MAX is also equipped with a 1.5T engine, the maximum horsepower and peak torque reached 160Ps, 245N·m, respectively, obviously the parameter performance is not as attractive as capgemini 280T; after matching the 6-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, its shift reaction efficiency is not bad, but there is still some room for improvement in smoothness. As for fuel consumption, there is no official data, and according to the owner's word-of-mouth feedback is 8.1L/100km.
Editor's comments: By comparing the top models of Wuling Capgemini 280T and BYD Song MAX, it is not difficult to see the advantages and disadvantages of these two cars. Song MAX supports 6/7 seats and has more driver assistance features, while Capgemini 280T is particularly top-notch in space optimization, which can be switched freely between 4/5/6 seats, and can also provide sitting and lying posture. Although the capgemini 280T price is slightly higher than 1,000 yuan, I think it can be exchanged for stronger power, as well as The Ling OS Lingxi system independently developed by Wuling and has received good market response on the stars, which is still worth it. What do you think?
