Capgemini is a popular 6-seater family car under Wuling Motors, with a price range of 8.58-13.48 million yuan, which is much cheaper than geely Jiaji, Trumpchi M6 and BYD Song MAX new energy models, or very cost-effective. How is it selling? In the whole year of 2021, Wuling Capgemini sold a total of 63,315 units, with an average monthly sales of 5,276 units, dominating the 6-seater residential car market. For reference, Geely Jiaji, Trumpchi M6 and BYD Song MAX will have full-year sales of 9,177 units, 48,158 units and 9,935 units in 2021, respectively, which are less than Wuling Capgemini. Not only that, in order to enhance its competitiveness, Wuling also launched the Capgemini 280T model, which is aimed at consumers who have requirements for power output.
Capgemini 280T model has two configuration versions, priced at 11.58-12.58 million yuan, compared to the ordinary version of the model, the car in the appearance and interior of the change is not much, the main change is the power output to a higher level, although also equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, but this is a high-power engine, the maximum power up to 177 horsepower, the maximum torque up to 290 Nm, compared to the ordinary version of the model, increased by 30 horsepower, 40 Nm, the power increase is great. Matching this 1.5T high-power engine is the CVT continuously variable transmission (analogue 8-speed).
In terms of interior, although it looks unlike the ordinary version of the model, it is still a 7-inch dashboard and a 10.25-inch central control screen, but the car machine system has been upgraded, and the Capgemini 280T model is equipped with the latest Ling OS Lingxi system, which has been improved in UI design and functions, supporting satellite navigation, voice recognition control, car networking and OTA upgrades. In terms of configuration, such as reversing image, cruise control, keyless entry/start, remote start, 7-inch LCD dashboard, 10.25-inch central control screen, second row of seat front and rear adjustment/left and right adjustment/leg rest adjustment/backrest adjustment and matrix LED headlight set are all standard in the series.
The difference between the two models of Wuling Capgemini 280T is 10,000 yuan, how should we choose? If you choose a car in the spirit of "spending a small amount of money to do big things", if you want to start this high-power model at the lowest price, there is no doubt that the 115,800 yuan 280T 1.5T automatic premium type is worth choosing, although its configuration is not as high as the automatic flagship type, but the basic configuration is still very rich, leather seats are also equipped, it is difficult to distinguish between high and low through the interior, and the automatic premium type is very comfortable whether it is domestic or commercial.
There are certain requirements for the configuration, and at the same time not worse than this 10,000 yuan, 125,800 yuan of 280T 1.5T automatic flagship is the best choice, compared to the automatic premium type, it has more 360-degree panoramic image, full speed adaptive cruise, active braking, fatigue driving reminder, front parking radar, can open the panoramic sunroof, leather steering wheel, front seat heating, exterior mirror electric folding / lock car automatic folding, automatic air conditioning, car air purifier, negative ion generator, etc. The number of speakers has also been upgraded from 6 speakers to 9 speakers, and the acoustic effect is more powerful. The price of these configurations has exceeded 10,000 yuan, or it is worth the money.
From 115,800, but also claiming value for money, Is the Capgemini 280T blindly confident or really has something? I believe that Wuling Motors launched the Capgemini 280T model must have done full market research, many consumers feel that the power output of the ordinary version of the model does not meet their expectations, and like the Wuling Capgemini model, they are eager to hope that Wuling can launch a high-power version of Capgemini, in this demand, Wuling Capgemini 280T model came into being. It is not the blind confidence of Wuling Motors, but there is really something. So, what do you think about the Wuling Capgemini 280T model?
