Wuling's first household seven-seat MPV equipped with Wuling silver label - Wuling Jiachen is coming.
When I roughly glanced at this long list of prefixes, the author still muttered in his heart, isn't there already a Wuling Capgemini with a silver label, why is there a "first one" again? I have to admire the car companies for spending time on the title, as long as Enough fixations are added, then I can always be the "first" model. "Seven seats for home" is indeed no problem, and it is indeed the "first one", but in the author's opinion, this practice is somewhat on the table, and can be summarized into the category of "sensationalism". In this regard, it can only be said that the desire for speed is not reached, and Wuling is still a little too anxious.
In fact, when the Wuling brand is mentioned in China, people probably know the most about the two "god cars" of Wuling Hongguang and Hongguang MINIEV, but when the price goes up, there is basically no place worth praising. Wuling is not willing to live in the low-end market all the time, and also has the dream of brand upwards in his heart, so he launched a silver car logo that symbolizes high-end, but in the test water of the product, Wuling still focused its work on the segmentation field of MPV, and Wuling Capgemini is the first round of stormtroopers.
In the first round of brand upward opening, consumers are very face-to-face, Wuling Capgemini listing in only 4 months months monthly sales exceeded the 10,000 mark, Capgemini is also known as "Wuling new three god car", unfortunately with the power of the small horse-drawn car, C-NCAP four-star open fire incident and other factors, Wuling Capgemini began to go downhill, in January only sold 4198 vehicles, compared with the same period in 2021, sales fell by 51.4%. In order to remedy, Wuling Capgemini recently launched a high-power version of the 280T, but unfortunately suddenly raised to a starting price of 115,800 yuan, so that the "cost performance" label on Wuling was greatly discounted, and many consumers shook their heads after watching it.
The entry of Wuling Jiachen can be seen as Wuling's compensation for Capgemini's high opening, and it can also be seen as using the strategy of "grabbing the market at a low price" to consolidate and expand its influence in the low-end MPV market. Therefore, although Wuling Jiachen shouts the slogan of "high-end", it is somewhat "difficult to say a word" in product performance.
The appearance adopts a new family design language, the overall creation of a good fashion atmosphere, this design is even more advanced and exquisite than the big brother Capgemini, there is a saying, Wuling Jiachen's appearance is still relatively online. But good looks can sometimes only serve as the icing on the cake, especially in the case of obvious shortcomings, such as the most important sense of space for MPV models.
It is reported that the length, width and height of Wuling Jiachen are 4785/1820/1760mm, the wheelbase is 2760mm, in addition to the length (more than 191mm) and the wheelbase (more than 10mm), basically the same as the Wuling Star, which was ridiculed by many netizens as an "elongated version of the star". At the same time, compared with Capgemini in terms of size, the overall size is slightly smaller. However, in the seat layout, Capgemini uses a 6-seat layout, which is already a bit difficult to take into account the comfort of the third row, and the wheelbase is only 10mm more than the compact SUV Star, but the Wuling Jiachen adopts a three-row seven-seat seat seat layout, which is simply the essence of Wuling Hongguang.
The power is still equipped with the familiar 1.5T engine, with a maximum output of 108kW, matching a 6-speed manual or CVT automatic transmission. This set of power system and Wuling Star, Capgemini low version consistent, there is not much novelty and highlights, although the ordinary household requirements for power is not too high, but really do not have to consider the engine in a full load state when climbing the hill when the sad sound? Even if the price is lowered, it is still impossible to avoid the embarrassment of "small horse-drawn carts".
As another "first" high-end silver label MPV model, Wuling Jiachen did not bring enough sense of luxury and freshness, and it can even be regarded as the "elongated shell" version of Wuling Star, after all, the two maintain a high degree of similarity in terms of power and size. But at the same time, in the field of MPV, Wuling can also be regarded as a metamorphosis and "renewal", sinking the high-end silver label model into the market, and it is also a "shrewd" means to seize market share through the "dimensionality reduction" strike.
