On April 28, Wuling Jiachen opened pre-sale, the price range is 6.98-10.58 million, positioned in a 7-seat family car, the manufacturer did not deliberately emphasize whether this is an SUV or MPV.
With a length, width and height of 4785/1820/1760mm and a wheelbase of 2760mm, Wuling Jiachen is very compact and adopts a 2+2+3 seat layout.
"Big 7-seater" has long been popular, at this time silver label Wuling has to push another 7-seat family car, what do you think? After all, the previously launched Wuling Capgemini has been recognized by the market.
On this issue, the manufacturer's statement is that the positioning of Capgemini, Xingchen and Jiachen is different. Capgemini emphasizes the comfort of the "big 4-seater", while Xingchen and Jiachen are brother models built on the same platform.
Therefore, Wuling Capgemini's positioning is higher, the size is larger (the length is 4875mm, the wheelbase is 2800mm), the price is higher, the guiding price range is 8.58-13.48 million, and it is 6 seats; and the launch of Jiachen is mainly for the 8-100,000-level market, focusing on 7 seats.
Let's take a look at what are the highlights of Wuling Jiachen, and there are roughly two aspects to look forward to:
First, in terms of space comfort, after all, the overall size is so large, if you want to improve comfort, you can only use your brain in the seat layout. According to the manufacturer, they have increased the height of the three rows of Jiachen seats to more than 30 centimeters, expanded the size of the rear window to enhance the visual transparency, and also arranged three rows of air conditioning adjustment, which is the maximum guarantee of the dignity of the third row.
Second, for models with a top of as long as the early 100,000, the intelligence of the car is definitely a plus. In fact, when we once test-drove the Baojun model, we have found that the response of Wuling Automobile is actually quite good, so it is judged that Wuling Jiachen, which is equipped with the new Ling OS Lingxi system, will certainly not be worse. Of course, this still has to be evaluated and tested to know, and did not get the configuration table, should only be high-end / top-end models have.
In terms of power, Wuling Jiachen is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 104kw and a maximum torque of 250N·m; it matches a simulated 8-speed CVT gearbox. Wuling, which takes the cost-effective route, pursues sufficiency and stability in terms of power control. How the specific experience is, wait for the small editor to share after the test drive.
Wuling's brand influence in the low-price market is unquestionable, and it was once envied and envied by people, and attracted a large number of competing brands. However, Wuling, with its strong volume advantages and channel competitiveness, has survived and collapsed a number of opponents. After the launch of the silver label strategy, Wuling maintained the quality improvement of "small steps and fast walking" and continued to defend its brand influence.
From the perspective of consumers, multi-child families are a big market after all, and there seem to be few big factories that can build decent 7-seater cars of 80,000-100,000 yuan, except for Wuling.
