Recently, the 2022 Wuling Capgemini was officially launched, and the new car was launched with two configurations, priced at 115,900 yuan and 125,900 yuan respectively. Compared with the 2020 model, the biggest difference of the new car is that it has gone up a step in terms of power, let's take a closer look at how it performs.
Exterior design
As a new model, the 2022 Wuling Capgemini has not changed in terms of internal and external design, and the appearance of the new car still adopts the design concept officially called the invigorated aesthetics, and the overall design is more classy than the previously launched models. Among them, the front face of the new car is equipped with a large-size flat middle net, the interior is filled with banner-type chrome trim, the headlights on the left and right sides are split design, the sharp shape of the daytime running lights is like a torch, and the matrix LED headlight group below is also very designed.
In terms of body size, the specific length, width and height of the new model are still 4875× 1880×1700 mm, and the wheelbase is 2800 mm. The body side design of the new car is relatively flat and stretched, which is somewhat different from the MPV model in our traditional impression, with 18-inch silver and black two-tone wheels on the bottom as standard, the style design is more conventional, and the tires are from the Atlas A50 series, focusing on silent comfort.
Wuling Capgemini's tail design has a strong sense of hierarchy, there is no more prominent feature, and the overall feeling gives people a stable feeling. Among them, the tail light group of the new car is relatively flat and slender, which forms a good front and back echo with the headlight group, and the light group adopts a full LED light source, and the recognition is higher after lighting at night.
Interior design
Wuling Capgemini's interior design is very simple and refreshing, the car through the horizontal lines to broaden the visual width, the shape of the center console is prominent, the upper use of a large area of soft material coverage, the middle part is equipped with piano paint trim and silver trim as decoration, as a model priced at about 100,000, such material performance is not bad. The central control display screen of the new car adopts a suspension design, the internal function partition is relatively clear, easy to get started, although the design of the interface does not look exquisite enough, but considering other configurations, this is still acceptable.
The interior seats of the new model are wrapped in imitation leather fabrics, and the functions are provided with electric adjustment of the main driver's seat and heating of the driver's seat. The interior padding of the front seats in the car is moderately soft and hard, the backrest is close to the human body, and the wings on both sides of the cushion and backrest are more prominent, with good comfort and wrapping.
Wuling Capgemini mainly features the concept of large four seats, the seat layout in the car is unified as 2+2+2, the second row is equipped with two independent seats, the shape is wide enough, the interior padding is soft and comfortable with leg rests, and the second row of seats can be almost completely flattened. However, because the car's second row of seats occupies most of the space of the whole car, its third row of space performance is not ideal.
