Bitauto original The National Day Golden Week is the peak travel season every year. In recent years, due to the epidemic, many friends around me have chosen to travel by car. This not only provides more freedom in the itinerary, but also avoids the risks caused by public transportation. For the whole family, although there are many six- and seven-seat SUVs in the domestic car market, the model that can truly take care of the family and provide higher ride comfort must be MPV. For ordinary-income families, choosing a large-space MPV is relatively affordable, but it is not easy to choose a comprehensive model. This article recommends five independent MPVs suitable for home use. The price thresholds from low to high are Wuling Capgemini, SAIC Maxus G50, Song MAX New Energy, Roewe iMAX8, and Lantu Dreamer. Let’s see why they are worth buying.
Wuling Capgemini
Level: Compact MPV
Guide price: 85,800-125,800 yuan
Highlights: Wuling brand, starting price is cheap enough
Wuling has always been a popular brand. Buying Wuling products seems to have the aura of a sacred car. Therefore, although the starting price of Capgemini is low, it will not make people feel low-end. It is a real family. A practical MPV, focusing on large four-seater + magic space family cars. The appearance adopts the Wuling family's "wing-dynamic aesthetics" design language. Although it is an MPV, it looks very much like an SUV. The overall shape of the car body is sharp and dynamic, especially the large-size grille on the front face, which is decorated with chrome elements on the periphery and matched with the Wuling silver logo, making the overall look much more high-end.
The interior part is biased toward the layout of a family car, with an enveloping design. The center console has a simple shape and is mainly black in color. There is also a more youthful black and gray color-blocking interior. The piano paint material also makes the center console more attractive. Seems more high-end. The car is equipped with a 10.25-inch LCD central control screen + 7-inch full LCD instrument, which overall looks very technological.
In terms of configuration, the entry-level model is equipped with reversing imaging, cruise control, LCD central control screen and other configurations, which can meet the practical needs of home use. High-end models also have front and rear collision warning, panoramic sunroof, keyless entry/start, LED headlights, voice control and other functions, which are also rich.
Although it is positioned as a compact model, the body length, width and height reach 4875mm×1880mm×1700mm, and the wheelbase is 2800mm. In terms of size, it is ahead of many models of the same class. Since the new car has a 6-seater layout, the second row of seats adopts an independent design, making the ride more comfortable. This is also in line with the four-seater concept promoted by the new car.
The magic space is mainly reflected in the trunk. The normal volume of the trunk has reached 482L. The sunken storage space can meet daily travel without any problem; and the third row of seats adopts a folding function similar to that of the Odyssey.The design can be placed under the floor. When the second and third rows of seats are folded down, the floor can be kept flat, greatly improving the practicality of the space.
In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 108/130kW and a maximum torque of 250/290N·m. Compared with the models on sale, the transmission is matched with a simulated 8-speed CVT gearbox, and the power is satisfactory. For home use, ride comfort and reliability are also guaranteed. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers under WLTC conditions is 7.51-8.69L, which is not high for an MPV with a body weight of more than 1.6 tons. The chassis adopts front MacPherson independent suspension and rear torsion beam non-independent suspension.
Comment: For entry-level MPV models, consumers do not pay much attention to performance. They are more concerned about the design of the car and the internal space. Wuling Capgemini’s performance in both aspects is satisfactory, and the configuration is also satisfactory for home use. , compared with Song MAX and Trumpchi M6, the new car has richer configurations and higher cost performance. It is still worth considering for users who want to buy an entry-level MPV. The only drawback is that there is no 7-seater model.
SAIC Maxus G50
Level: Compact MPV
Guide price: 87,800-110,800 yuan
Highlights: relatively complete configuration and high cost performance
The G50 is the largest model in the SAIC Maxus MPV series, but it is positioned as the most entry-level car in the entire series. The price of 87,800-110,800 yuan is cheaper than many domestic cars, but it is indeed a This is a solid MPV model with a large body, a large tailgate, and 7 spacious seats. It is definitely the first choice for economical entry-level MPV.
Although it is the smallest MPV model in the entire family, the front face design of the G50 is still domineering, and the entire body design also shows very obvious MPV characteristics. The square body design leaves more interior details. There is plenty of space, and the large tailgate is also convenient for loading things. The size reaches 4825mm × 1825mm × 1778mm, and the wheelbase is 2800mm. Except for the 16-inch wheels that match the large body and appear smaller, and the absence of side sliding doors, the others are all standard MPV designs.
The entire interior gives people a familiar feeling. The layout of the center console is a relatively standard wrap-around design for passenger cars, which gives people a sense of flexibility like driving a small car. The shape of the center console is also very modern and has a strong sense of fashion. At least it shows that the interior design of this car is warm and high-end.
In terms of configuration, the entry-level version is relatively shabby, and the configuration will gradually become richer from the second version onwards, but overall it is still not as good as Wuling Capgemini, but it also has its advantages, that is, large space and rich seating layout solutions.
SAICIn addition to the conventional 2/2/3 seven-seat layout, Maxus G50 also offers 2/2/2 six-seat and 2/3/2 seven-seat options, which can give people more choices. Relatively speaking, the 2/2/3 seven-seater can leave a passage in the middle for easy entry and exit, and also improves the comfort of the second row, making it the choice of most people.
The power choice is a 1.5T four-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 124kW and a peak torque of 250N·m, matched with a 6MT or 7-speed dry dual-clutch gearbox. This power combination is also mainly economical and affordable, but does not overly pursue power performance. The NEDC fuel consumption of the new car is only 7.2L per 100 kilometers, which is still very fuel-efficient.
Comment: For SAIC Maxus, which specializes in MPVs, the G50 has more binding brand power than other models of the same class. In addition, this car is cheap and big enough, allowing many families to experience it at the cost of a previous car. A more practical and comfortable MPV, I think this is the best thing about this car. Of course, its configuration, quality, and comfort are also good. As a family car, it has more advantages than sedans and SUVs.
