So in addition to its attractive price, product strength aspects happen then? I just participated in its test drive, let’s take a look.
Although the Wuling Capgemini a compact MPV, but using “4 + X big four” family car was the most appropriate to describe it.

In addition to the passive safety, active safety Wuling Capgemini equipped ADAS driver assistance systems, including the anti-collision warning (with pedestrian identification), a pre-crash automatic braking (with pedestrian detection), lane keeping aid and the lane departure warning, 0-150km / h at full domain adaptive cruise function, can significantly enhance the driving safety. Other security configuration as well as 360-degree panoramic image, before and after the six radar, the latest version of Bosch ESP9.3, so that driving safer pleasant.
I Wuling Capgemini driver assistance system has a good experience in the test drive event. Test drive has been in the rain, slippery road line of sight is not very good, but its anti-collision warning with automatic braking pre-crash was still able to play in a complex road conditions due role, provides adequate protection for safe driving.
Capgemini Wuling powertrain equipped with an 8-speed simulation engine and 1.5T CVT transmission, with users to a smooth and comfortable driving experience. As an MPV models, power output Capgemini’s not fast, but it is doing a good place in terms of ride comfort, but it is also very consistent with the positioning of a MPV model.
