When car companies produce new models, they often launch different power versions for everyone to choose, SUVs and cars are like this, MPV models are no exception, such as Trumpchi M6, BYD Song MAX, Volkswagen Weiran, etc., they all provide different power versions to choose from.
Relatively speaking, Wuling Capgemini, which has been selling well since its listing, is somewhat single in the choice of model powertrain, after all, it is all 147Ps/250N·m powered 1.5T head. However, as a Wuling who understands the degree of chinese people who are not inferior to Volkswagen, it also understands the limitations of Capgemini in the choice of models, so not long ago, Wuling officially launched Capgemini's new model - Capgemini 280T. Below, we will take a look at the 2 changes and 3 highlights of capgemini 280T through a set of offline real shots.
Wuling Capgemini 280T launched a total of two models, premium and flagship, with a guidance price of 115,800-125,800 yuan, and the real-time model brought to you by xiaobian is the flagship 280T. From the appearance point of view, the overall design of the new model still continues the Capgemini family's wing-moving aesthetic design language, from the visual tension of the front face to the body contour lines, are remarkable, and will not give you a greasy feeling of MPV models, after all, Capgemini's positioning is the main home, and its biased consumer population is also younger after 80/90.
In the interior, the design style of Capgemini 280T also maintains the same design of the family, the overall materials are not bad, and this flagship Capgemini 280T has also upgraded the leather steering wheel. In addition, the Ling OS system from Wuling's self-developed system is also installed on the two models of capgemini 280T this time, which is also the first biggest change in the new car.
In the actual experience, the intelligent ecosystem supports continuous dialogue, multi-person command voice assistant, in the recognition rate and response of this piece of no delay phenomenon, worthy of praise; and its navigation system, also has the road book, team travel and other functions, but the remote control system Xiaobian has not yet had time to experience. However, according to the feedback of riders on Wuling Star, the overall evaluation of the intelligent performance of this Ling OS system is good, which is one of its highlights.
In other configurations, taking this flagship Capgemini 280T as an example, matrix LED headlights, front soundproof glass, dual-zone independent air conditioning, main driver electric adjustment/seat heating, front row keyless entry, full-speed adaptive cruise, 360-degree circular shadow, active braking, etc., are not absent, and the previous Capgemini flagship configuration is basically consistent.
The second change is the power of the Capgemini 280T. The new car was upgraded to a 1.5T high-power engine, with a maximum horsepower increase of 177Ps and a peak torque of 290N·m, an increase of 30Ps and 40N·m respectively compared to the current model. The transmission part, on the other hand, is still matched with the CVT gearbox, which can simulate 8 forward gears. From the test drive experience, this power system well optimized the power response of starting and speeding up, like in the Xiaobian test drive, a total of 4 people were ridden in the car, and when starting in the comfort mode, there was no more difficult power response.
However, after switching to sport mode, if the initial throttle is slightly heavier, it will still feel that the vehicle is a bit channeled, so if you are driving in the urban congestion, it is not recommended that you use the "S" gear.
In terms of space, the Capgemini 280T body size is no different from the 2020 Capgemini model, with a wheelbase of 2800mm and a seat layout of 2/2/2 six-seaters. In addition, everyone knows that Capgemini's "big four" is a major highlight, so the Capgemini 280T has also been retained. For the rear leg space, there is no need to use a few punches and a few fingers to describe, because after the third row of seats is stored, sitting on the second row of Capgemini seats can be completely flat, and under the blessing of the leg rest, there is a good experience in comfort.
Editor's comments: In terms of product strength, the Capgemini 280T brought by Wuling this time is indeed more comprehensive than the 2020 Capgemini on sale. In addition to continuing the highlights of the "big four-seat" space, it has also upgraded the two major parts of intelligence and power, which can be counted as highlights. Of course, while giving higher product strength, we also need to spend more budget. But personally, I think that the experience brought by the power upgrade alone is worth the price.
