Test drive Wuling Jiachen: 1.5T + seven seats landed 100,000, this MPV is almost no problem

This is the second row of seats of Wuling Capgemini, wuling officially took it down and sold it separately, the price is nearly four thousand, I am disappointed, this is obviously too expensive.

This is the second row seat of Wuling Jiachen, which has about 80% comfort of Capgemini second row seats.

I suggest that Wuling also dismantled and sold, set a 998 almost...

Driver Index: 70%

Before evaluating the dynamics and statics of the Wuling Jiachen car, I tried to find an opponent for it - or a reference object, but I broke my head and did not find a suitable object.

This means that Wuling Jiachen has no opponents.

To put it more bluntly, if you want to buy a comfortable seven-seat MPV within 100,000, there is only Wuling Jiachen.

This scene is very similar to the Baojun 730 in 2014 when it first came out, the Baojun 730 that stood out in a bunch of Emgrand, Jetta, M50V is very popular, this story has been praised until now, so that people will wonder when they see the Baojun 730 that is still sold now: How many years has this car been sold?

The answer is 8 years, according to the normal update cycle, it is time to launch a new MPV to inherit its position. So, now we can see Wuling Jiachen coming.

On the day of the test drive, Wuling announced the pre-sale price of Jiachen: 6.98-105,800 yuan, without any accidents, there was no opponent in 2014, and there was no opponent in 2022.

Well, we just need to focus on Wuling Jiachen itself.

Regarding the appearance and interior of Wuling Jiachen, jackie Liu, the teacher of our driving school, has done a shop visit and made a very detailed static interpretation for everyone, which is not elaborated here. As for my personal first impression of seeing Wuling Jiachen, it is that the lines are more sharp, so that the slightly larger size is well balanced, and the proportions are very coordinated.

▲ The design style is not exaggerated, but the recognition is very high, and it will not appear that Auchan Z6 can be recognized today and Roewe RX5 will not be recognized tomorrow

The highlights of Wuling Jiachen are concentrated in the interior, the style is more homely, the straight lines, the block handle, the place where the water bottle/mobile phone is placed can be understood at a glance, and then equipped with a large screen, qi live.

But the interesting part of the interior of Wuling Jiachen is that the design looks nothing, but there are many places to pay attention to.

For example, the second row is 80mm higher than the first row, and the third row is 80mm higher than the second row, so what is the advantage?

▲ When you sit in the third row, the field of vision is very wide and not depressing

Wuling Jiachen in the promotion of the concept of "three rows of equal rights", I experienced in the third row is really good, Wuling manufacturers of the big handsome guy came in to drill into the third row, I also thought that the three rows have some big treasures, the result was changed to find out.

At 31°C that day, the air outlet in the second row looked like this:

▲ Two air outlets, no air volume adjustment

But in the third row, you will find that there are two air outlets for you, the air volume can be adjusted, one left and one right, the wind speed pipe is full, blowing directly at people.

This is also too peaceful, and the second row is really not so comfortable.

▲ At first, I didn't understand why the air volume adjustment in the third row was a button control, and obviously a semi-buried knob could do it

▲ Later, I successfully increased the air volume with voice control in the third row, and then realized the reason: if you use a knob, it is a physical button, which cannot be operated with voice, but with a button, you can be compatible with voice operation

Another highlight of the third row is the space, the legroom is enough, probably similar to the second row of Alto, if the second row is pushed forward 120mm, the third row will be much more generous.

Of course, at this time, the second row still has enough space, probably comparable to the second row of Polo, but the highlight of the second row is not space, but comfort. As a separate seat, although the second row of Jiachen is not as good as the second row of Capgemini, the support, fit and softness are very OK.

▲ There is a small flaw, the steering wheel here is at a right angle, it is still very hard, so it is a bit of a hand

The static highlights are almost these, and the other static parts are similar to the family car, and there is no learning cost to use.

It also reflects this "easy to use" style. Goryo is equipped with a 1.5T engine with a maximum power of 108 kW and a maximum torque of 250 N·m.

This powertrain has served on the Wuling car system for a long time and is also durable. However, it seems that it is not enough to use it on Capgemini, so Wuling pulled Capgemini's 1.5T maximum power to 130kW.

However, on Wuling Jiachen, the total achievement of this set of power is very suitable. The power output style is nothing else, it is smooth, capitalized smooth. You don't feel any bumps in this 1.5T+CVT – ravaging the throttle at any speed, the gearbox won't complain.

I know what people are trying to say, but why would you want to find excitement on a seven-seat MPV? No, no, it's a fantastic idea.

In contrast, The powertrain style of Wuling Jiachen is very similar to the Camry 2.0L+CVT I drove some time ago, neither of which will have any impulse, and the S gear is also a decoration, and even at a fixed throttle depth, it will automatically reduce the speed. Interestingly, the floor vibrations that continue to accelerate to 2000 rpm are also common to both, which is surprising.

In terms of chassis and steering, Wuling Jiachen also shows the style of a seven-seat MPV, the suspension will be harder when a person drives, and the bounce is more obvious. The most comfortable time is when riding 3 to 5 passengers, originally thought that there may be a lack of suspension travel, resulting in larger fluctuations in the body, but when there are many people, the bumps will be less obvious.

At the same time, Wuling Jiachen is also very good in stability, but because the side windward area is large, it will still shake slightly in the face of crosswinds, but these are details, in general, for a seven-seat MPV within 100,000, this suspension can score 80 points.

▲ But I hope that next time Wuling does not press the tire of the test drive so high, it will feel particularly hard to drive

The style of the steering system is very compatible with the car itself, but the more obvious flaw is that after hitting the direction, the return force is very weak, and it will not even return to the middle by itself. In the daily driving, the steering feel is very good, are more natural, there will be no electronic taste.

epilogue:

So in general, in terms of evaluating the Wuling Jiachen car, we can't get out of the limited scope of "seven-seat MPV within 100,000".

Whether it is interior details, or power performance, or suspension, steering, NVH, Wuling Jiachen is a product that can score more than 70 points per item, some product highlights are outstanding (80 points), shortcomings are also obvious (60 points), some products do not meet expectations, but only Wuling Jiachen, at the right price, has the right highlights, and the details are very exquisite, and this itself is enough to exceed expectations.
