I have two small children at home, so when choosing a car, I prefer to consider the model with a large number of seats, and finally chose the Buick GL6, a 6-seater car. The price of this car is not very high, I chose the naked car price of 159,900 in the middle of the model, the price is also appropriate. Up to now, Buick GL6 has been with our family for 1 year, which really satisfies most of our travel scenarios. Not long ago, I had a good friend who was also ready to buy a 6-seater car, when I recommended him the Buick GL6, but in the end he chose the domestic Wuling Capgemini, which made me a little curious, why would he choose a domestic car and give up the joint venture car? So I proposed to change cars with him and drive away, and he happily agreed.
My friend mentioned that The Wuling Capgemini is a high-end model in the car series, remember that it should be called Capgemini 280T automatic premium, the naked car price is more than 120,000, which is more affordable than my Buick GL6 pricing. When we parked the Buick GL6 and The Wuling Capgemini together, I found that Capgemini was a little longer than my Buick GL6, and the original Capgemini car was close to 4 meters 9, while the length of the Buick GL6 was close to 4 meters 7, and there was a significant length gap. However, the wheelbase of these two cars is not too much, Capgemini wheelbase is just 2 meters 8, buick GL6 wheelbase difference is only 4mm is 2 meters 8.
When I actually got into the Wuling Capgemini car, I found out how different this car was from the Buick GL6. In the second row of seats, Capgemini's second row of seats has leg rests and relatively wide wings, and sitting on them can feel that the seats have a certain sense of support for various parts of the body. Its second row of seats also supports left and right adjustment, and the two independent seats are closer together. The Buick GL6 does not have this function, its second row is a regular independent seat, and the comfort of the ride is not low, but the GL6 does not have a leg rest. , and the second row of seats of the GL6 does not support left and right adjustment, which is not as flexible as Capgemini.
When I sat in the third row, I found that the third row of Wuling Capgemini would be more generous, with more legroom, and the knees would not reach the back of the seat in the front row. Then there is the third row of Seats of Capgemini, which is directly hidden under the floor of the trunk after being receded, which seems to expand the space utilization of the Capgemini trunk, allowing the second row of seats to adjust farther back. The third row of the Buick GL6 will be relatively cramped, I am 177cm tall, and the movement space in the knee position is relatively small. The third row of seats of the GL6 is not hidden under the platform, but is flat with the trunk floor, and the loading space is not small, but the adjustable range of the second row of seats is not so large.
Speaking of driving experience, my friend's Wuling Capgemini is a high-power version with a maximum power of 177 horsepower. At the beginning, you can feel that its engine output is more direct, lightly step on the accelerator body can be pushed, the starting meat does not exist on it. However, after the speed reaches 40km/h, it will be found that this car is actually a family car, its power output is biased towards smooth, and it will not be impatient, the adjustment of the suspension is also soft, and the filtering of vibration is not bad.
Buick GL6 power is also biased towards comfort, its power by the 1.3T engine + 48V light mix system, the start because of the motor intervention, will also give people a relatively brisk feeling, there is no drag. However, when running above 80km/h, its acceleration ability will be a little worse, and it will feel less fast than my friend's Capgemini speedup. But gl6's fuel consumption per 100 km is more than 6L, while Capgemini's fuel consumption is more than 7L.
From my current experience, I think Capgemini has advantages in configuration, size, and power, which is also the advantage of most domestic cars. In the domestic cars and joint venture cars with similar prices, the car experience that domestic cars can bring will actually be better, but the competitiveness of joint venture cars is not so strong, so I began to understand why so many consumers are willing to buy domestic cars.
