The increase in the family population base has made consumers more and more favored 7-seater family cars, and the sales of MPV models are also rising, and Wuling has long smelled this business opportunity. Recently, Wuling has announced the configuration information of its new model Wuling Jiachen, which is positioned as a 7-seat MPV model.
Jiachen is the main household direction of Wuling silver standard car series, but also after the 5-seat star, 6-seat Capgemini model, so far, the silver standard car series of 5 seats 6 seats and 7 seats also have corresponding models. Jiachen is expected to be listed for sale in the second quarter of this year.
As can be seen from the official chart, the appearance of Jiachen and the mainstream MPV models on the market are not much different, with the characteristics of short front overhang and long suspension and a more square silhouette, it is reasonable to say that MPV models are either business or home oriented, focusing on practical comfort, in order to maximize the use of space as much as possible, there must be compromises in the shape.
The official has also revealed the interior configuration of Jiachen, the overall design style is simple wind, and the shade of the brown interior is very warm inside the car. Referring to the previous silver label models, wuling's Ling OS lingxi system will also be installed on Jiachen, which will have functions such as remote car control, condition monitoring and Bluetooth key sharing.
Wuling Jiachen adopts a 2+2+N seat structure, "N" means that the seat layout can be switched as needed, and the third row can be lowered when not needed to increase the trunk volume. This flexible seat layout is more in line with the diverse scenarios of actual travel.
In addition, Jiachen also adopted a "theater stepped" seat layout, and the height of the rear seat platform was in turn, which improved the vision of passengers in the third row to a certain extent.
The new model has a length, width and height of 4785/1820/1760mm, and a wheelbase of 2760mm. Although Jiachen is a seven-seater car, the overall body size is still slightly smaller than that of the six-seatEr Capgemini. It is also expected to perform slightly worse spatially than Capgemini.
The high-strength steel cage body structure is also applied to Wuling Jiachen, the vehicle high-strength steel material accounts for more than 64.2% of the body, and the 5 doors of the whole vehicle are galvanized and anti-rust treatment, and the main and co-drivers are equipped with 4 surround airbags to further improve safety performance.
This is also in line with most people's demands for family models, after all, MPV vehicles often carry the lives of one family or even two families when traveling, and the body materials and safety configurations cannot be sloppy.
This level of MPV models has always been a short board in terms of sound insulation, but Wuling Jiachen has targeted optimization in NVH. Wuling official said that Jiachen on the car using 43 acoustic packages of the whole car coverage, you can also glimpse from the official map, Jiachen tire tire width is not large, coupled with the body of a number of sound insulation material coverage, driving quietness will be better.
In the power unit, Jiachen is equipped with the same 1.5T + CVT powertrain as Capgemini, with a maximum power of 108 kilowatts, a maximum horsepower of 147 horses, a peak torque of 250N·m, and a comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.2L per 100 kilometers.
From the other two silver label models under Wuling, it can be seen that Wuling has been taking the cost-effective route, and the price of Jiachen will not be too high. Judging from the size of the model, the positioning of Wuling Jiachen after the listing will be below Capgemini, and the price will be more affordable than models such as Capgemini and Trumpchi M6 to achieve the purpose of differentiated sales.
There are not many MPV models similar to Jiachen in the market, and the launch of Jiachen will be more subdivided into the MPV market, and will also make up for the gap in this piece, the sales estimate will not be too bad, and Wuling will have more market share and discourse power in the home car market.
It is expected that the price of Wuling Jiachen will be about 60,000-100,000 or 70,000-110,000 or so, in this entry price, the comprehensive product strength of the model can be counted by a slap, and the emergence of Jiachen will undoubtedly provide consumers with more choices.
If the price is really around 70,000 yuan, the conversion is 10,000 yuan a seat, the engine trunk and chassis frame are equal to free delivery, rounding is no money, what bicycle do you want? It is worthy of the Wuling that "what the people need, Wuling will build".
