"What the people need, Wuling will build", in the past one or two years, Wuling has won the recognition of many ordinary people with this slogan. In fact, in response to consumers' home travel needs, Wuling does pay enough attention. No, at the beginning of the new year, it launched the Capgemini 280T with a 1.5T high-power engine to respond to consumer demand for stronger power. A total of two models were launched, the 115,800 premium model and the 125,800 flagship model, which was slightly higher than the price of the previous model. So, is the Capgemini 280T worth our hands on?
Compared with the previous models on sale, the overall design of the Capgemini 280T has not changed much, and the whole vehicle is still based on a young and fashionable design style. The front part of the face is full of exquisite feeling, and the sharp headlights adopt a split design, which is very visually impactful when combined with the Wuling Global Silver Label and the chrome trim in the intake grille. The suspension roof on the side and the multi-sided taillight design at the rear are closer to the aesthetics of young users and can attract the attention of some people.
In the interior of the car, capgemini 280T uses a more common black color scheme, with the same black piano paint material, the overall look has a good sense of grade. In terms of technology, capgemini 280T is equipped with a 7-inch full LCD dashboard and a 10.25-inch central control screen, both of which have good display effects. It is worth mentioning that the central control screen of Capgemini 280T is also equipped with Wuling's self-developed Ling OS Lingxi system, which is also one of the important parts of the upgrade of Capgemini 280T.
The system integrates common functions such as navigation, multimedia, voice recognition control, etc., and supports many practical APPS, which can realize functions such as group travel, car circle, road book navigation and mini games. At the same time, the air conditioner, multimedia, sunroof window and even wiper in the car also support voice control, and can be continuously voice controlled, which has a high degree of convenience in the actual use process.
In terms of space and comfort, it is still a highlight of the Capgemini 280T. With a 4875x1880x1700mm body length, width and height, and a wheelbase of 2800mm, the six-seat Capgemini 280T focuses on the second row of independent seats. The flexibility of these two seats is high, and the distance between the front and rear support sliding and the angle of the backrest support adjustment are large, providing enough space for a spacious ride. In addition, the leg rest function and left-right sliding function are also equipped, plus the third row of seats support hidden reclining, which gives the Capgemini 280T more space advantage over competitors at the same price.
Power is one of the core competitiveness of Capgemini 280T, which is equipped with a 1.5T high-power turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 130kW (177 horsepower) and a maximum torque of 290N·m, which has significantly improved the engine parameters compared with before. After matching with the CVT transmission, the acceleration performance of 100 kilometers was increased by 16%. And this engine will intervene at 1000 rpm, and the maximum torque can be reached at 1500 rpm, so unlike other models, there will be significant turbo lag.
It is worth mentioning that the Capgemini 280T uses Bosch silent transmission steel belt, which can effectively suppress the transmission of noise. At the same time, both models of Capgemini 280T are equipped with 32 pieces of advanced sound insulation materials and 4mm double-layer sound insulation glass higher than the same level, which can greatly reduce tire noise and wind noise. Therefore, while ensuring the power increase, the NVH of capgemini 280T vehicle can also be guaranteed.
On the whole, there are still many highlights on the Capgemini 280T. Leaving aside the appearance and interior design, the flexibility of the seats, the mechanical quality of the power system, the practicality of the vehicle networking system, and the processing of the vehicle NVH are remarkable. At the price of 1120,000, it is not easy to do this, and it is easy to find its superiority when comparing models at the same price. Therefore, I personally think that this price Capgemini 280T is still a bit fragrant, and it is worth starting, depending on your needs.
