I found that in the automotive market, many models are divided into household cars, and many models are divided into commercial vehicles, but in real life, commercial vehicles will also assume the task of family cars, and family cars will also be used as commercial trucks at some times, so I think many people may need not only a single model that favors household attributes, but also needs a commercial vehicle similar to Wuling Journey, Trumpchi M6, etc. that can both load goods and meet the needs of a family.
Trumpchi M6 and Zhengcheng in the field of commercial vehicles are not bad visibility, however, the top price of the journey is less than 100,000 yuan, trumpchi M6 starting price is close to 110,000 yuan, in comparison, the journey is a lot closer to the people, but also can be regarded as a civilian version of the commercial vehicle. Moreover, Wuling launched this journey positioned as a "super wide body commercial vehicle", which is mainly based on "home + business", and the C1 driver's license can be opened, the price is relatively close to the people, and it can be bought within 100,000 yuan in hand.
Speaking of this, let's take a journey as an example and introduce this car in detail. The front of the car is a boxy design, the polygonal grille is mainly black, and the upper mesh surface is also inlaid with silver decorative strips, which are just integrated with the headlights on both sides, which widens the visual width of the rear. A banner-style black lower grille is also embedded under the front bumper, and vertical fog lights are also embedded at both ends. The lines on the side of the body are mostly through-line design, combined with a straight design technique, making the body slender and more sufficient. In the spoiler equipped with the rear of the car, there are high brake lights, irregular tail lights are mounted at both ends of the tailgate, under the door posts on both sides, and also equipped with decorative light strips that echo the fog lights of the head of the car, so that the recognition of the whole vehicle is not low, and the aura is also relatively sufficient, but for many female consumers, it may not be very aesthetically pleasing.
The interior follows a concise design, the straight center console is black as the main color, the front is decorated with beige decorative panels, the car in addition to providing 8-inch LCD central control screen, but also provides an additional 9-inch LCD central control screen optional, and below the screen, you can see the mechanical air conditioning control panel, because the control button is not much, making the control panel slightly empty, I think, if you can expand the proportion of the screen, the proportion of the air conditioning control panel is reduced, you can improve the sense of science and technology in the car. Of course, the current design will not affect daily use.
As for the size, the journey car length of more than 5 meters 1, the width of the car is close to 1 meter 9, the height of the car is more than 1 meter 9, the wheelbase is also 3 meters 1, so the journey provides a 2-seat window sealing car that mainly carries goods, and there are 7/8/9 seat layouts to choose, it can be seen that the audience of the journey is not small, for example, the door factory owner and wholesaler group that mainly transport goods can choose a 2-seat window sealing car with a box volume of 4882L, and for the group that opens a homestay and a company car, it can choose a model carrying 9 people, 7, The 8-seater model caters to a family, and the rear seats can be folded and reclined, so it is easy to load all kinds of items.
We take the 7-seat layout model as an example, we can see that it adopts a 2+2+3 layout, the second row of seats is a separate seat, and passengers sitting in the third row need to enter the aisle of the second row. When a man with a height of 180cm adjusts the front seat, he sits in the second and third rows, which can have more than 1 punch of legroom, plus the seats in the second row can be moved forward and backward, so when the passengers who get on the car behind want to go to the back seat, the passengers sitting in the second row do not need to get off the car to make space, only need to adjust the seat backwards.
If on the basis of ensuring the third row of seating space, the second row of seats does not make any movement, and the person who gets on the car behind can also get on the car, but the process of getting on the car is not easy. In addition, the interior depth of the trunk is 850mm for the regular 7-seat layout, but the depth of the trunk can be expanded to 1050mm when the third row of seats is reclined.
In summary, the product strength of Wuling Zhengtu does have bright spots, but there are also shortcomings. For example, the top price of less than 100,000 yuan, the cargo space with a volume of 4882L, the variety of seat layouts of 7/8/9 seats, etc., these are the highlights of the journey, and this invisibly expands the audience of the journey. The disadvantage is that the design of the journey is not personalized and sporty enough, and the interior luxury needs to be improved, but it is still difficult to combine general business with these elements. For the price I think the journey is still worth it.
