In the current auto market, the difficulty of buying a 6/7-seat model is actually not great, in this market segment, there are not only high-end models such as Buick GL8 and Honda Odyssey, but also models with relatively close pricing such as Buick GL6 and Chase G50. Nowadays, many netizens said that there is a 6-seater car in the car market that is more expensive than the Buick GL6, but the seat layout is more flexible than the Chase G50, called Wuling Capgemini, saying that this car is also bought a lot. So, what kind of model is Wuling Capgemini, its product strength, and its achievements in the market? Next, let's take a look.
The pricing range of Wuling Capgemini is 85,800-125,800, compared with the current price of Buick GL6 of 149,900-169,900, Capgemini is indeed priced, but it is priced at 86,800-165,800 Chase G50, and the entry threshold is actually relatively close. From the perspective of sales, Wuling Capgemini does rank at the forefront of the market segment, and it is not difficult for it to sell in the top few monthly sales of the market in a single month, and the car does sell better than the Buick GL6 and Chase G50 in the market.

As for why Wuling Capgemini sells better, we can put it together with the Buick GL6 and Chase G50 and find their differences through simple comparison.
In terms of body size, the length and wheelbase of Wuling Capgemini are 4875mm and 2800mm, the length and wheelbase of the Buick GL6 are 4692mm and 2796mm, and the length and wheelbase of the Chase G50 are 4825mm and 2800mm, respectively. For 6/7-seater models, the advantage of the length will affect the seating space in the third row, which will affect the ride comfort.

In terms of seat layout, Capgemini only offers a 6-seat layout, but Capgemini's second row of seats has leg rests, which can improve ride comfort to a certain extent. At the same time, Capgemini's third row of seats is more special, its third row of seats is directly hidden under the platform after being receded, and supports two seats to be reclined separately, which is equivalent to the number of seats in the car can be switched between 4 seats and 6 seats at will, and the space flexibility is relatively high. Looking at the Buick GL6 and Chase G50, the second row of seats of these two models does not provide leg rests, and the third row of seats is not hidden under the trunk platform after being reclined, but is flat with the platform of the trunk, so the space utilization will be lower. In terms of seat layout, the Buick GL6 also comes standard with 6 seats, but the Chase G50 comes standard with 7 seats.

In terms of power performance, Wuling Capgemini offers two engine options, both with 1.5T displacement, but with high and low power. The maximum power of the low-power 1.5T engine is 147 horsepower, while the maximum power of the high-power 1.5T engine is 177 horsepower. These two engines are more than enough to meet the daily home travel, and there will be no lack of power; but the high-power version of Capgemini will perform better in acceleration performance, which can bring owners a more intense and refreshing driving experience.

The Buick GL6 comes standard with a 1.3T engine, which is also powered by a 48V light mix system, which can reduce the jitter of the engine at low speeds. The maximum power of this set of power is 163 horsepower, the parameters are between Capgemini's two 1.5Ts, and the performance is not bad. The Chase G60 also comes standard with a 1.5T engine, but its 1.5T engine has no power distinction, and the maximum power is 169 horsepower, which is very close to the Performance of the Buick GL6. However, the Chase G50's matching gearbox is a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission, not a simulated 8-speed CVT transmission of Wuling Capgemini or a 6AT transmission of the Buick GL6, which will have a certain gear shifting setback.

From the simple comparison of product forces, we can find that the overall strength of Wuling Capgemini is relatively strong in the same price model, its seat layout is more flexible, the power performance is not bad, coupled with its own pricing is more competitive, and it is not surprising that the sales volume is high. In contrast, the Buick GL6 has a higher entry threshold, which will affect the choice of some consumers. However, Capgemini can not meet the needs of all consumers, if you have 7 seats just needed, Capgemini is not as attractive to you as the Chase G50, so we still have to buy a car to combine actual needs.
