For a 7-seater car within 100,000 yuan, after a test drive of a Datong G50, and then a test drive of a Wuling Jiachen, what is the difference?

Nowadays, many families have two or three children, so if the whole family wants to go out together, an ordinary 5-seater car is obviously not enough, and many consumers will consider a 7-seater MPV. Recently, I also went to test drive two 7-seater MPVs within 100,000 yuan, namely the G50 under Maxus , and the Jiachen built by Wuling . After test driving these two models separately, I found that there is a significant gap between the two models.

​​The model I went to test drive first is the Maxus G50, which is priced at 87,800 to 165,800 yuan. This car is also popular in the market, and the time to market is not too short. Because this test drive is mainly compared with 7-seater MPVs within 100,000 yuan, the model I specifically tested is the mid-to-high-end model in the Maxus G50 car series, that is, the 98,800 Maxus G50 2022 1.5T Automatic Changyou A. Then the model I tested was Wuling Jiachen with a price of 68,800 to 99,800. Specifically, I tested the top model in the car series, that is, the 2022 1.5T CVT flagship model with a price of 99,800. The price difference between the two models is 1,000. .

​​In terms of exterior design, the design styles of these two cars are slightly different. Chase G50 gives people a more aura-focused appearance, the size of the front grille is larger, and a large number of horizontal chrome decorations are integrated into the interior. At the same time, the body height of this car reaches 1778mm, and the more obvious rising lines on the side of the body also help to shape the aura of the whole car.

​​The appearance of Wuling Jiachen pays more attention to the sense of refinement. The size of the front grille of this car is not too large, and more silver chrome decorations are integrated into the interior to create a visual effect similar to wings. There is a suspended roof on the side, and silver chrome plating is added to the lower edge of the window and the side skirts as an embellishment.

​​In terms of body size, the length and wheelbase of the Chase G50 are 4825mm and 2800mm respectively; the length and wheelbase of Wuling Jiachen are 4785mm and 2760mm respectively. It is not difficult to find that in terms of body size alone, the Maxus G50 actually has a slight advantage. It's just that the size difference between these two models is not particularly large, and the difference in vehicle length and wheelbase is about 5 cm, so the actual space performance of these two models is relatively close.

​​In terms of seat structure and function, these two models are also somewhat different. Chase G50 provides users with a variety of different seat options, including 2+2+2 6-seat layout, 2+2+3/2+3+2 7-seat layout and 2+3+3 8-seat layout . The model I experienced this time has a 2+2+3 layout. The seat itself is wrapped in leather, but it is not equipped with more seat functions, and the car is not equipped with a sunroof.

​​All Wuling Jiachen series have a 7-seater layout of 2+2+3, and the model I tested is no exception. The interior seats of this car are also wrapped in leather, and the main driving position has electric adjustment. At the same time, the seat structure of this car incorporates the design of the opera house. There is a height difference of 80mm between the front and rear seats. In addition, the light transmission area of ​​the rear window of this car is not small, and it is also equipped with an electric sunroof. So you won't feel depressed when you actually sit in the third row.

​​As for power, the Chase G50 is equipped with a 1.5T engine + 7-speed dry DCT gearbox, with a maximum power of 169 horsepower and a peak torque of 250 N m. This set of power meets the daily driving pressure without much pressure. In actual driving, you can feel that the 7-speed DCT gearbox shifts faster, and the power response is not procrastinated, but when changing gears frequently, it is prone to shifting frustrating situations, which is also one of the common problems of DCT gearboxes.

​​Wuling Jiachen is equipped with a 1.5T+ analog 8-speed CVT gearbox, with a maximum power of 147 horsepower and a peak torque of 250 Nm. It is slightly inferior to the Chase G50 in terms of power parameters, but it can also meet the needs of daily driving. In actual driving, the power output of this car is relatively smooth, and the CVT gearbox is not prone to frustration when shifting gears, but the shifting speed will be relatively slow, which is caused by structural differencesresult.

​​To sum up, through a simple test drive comparison, it can be found that the product power performance of these two models is different, and the consumer groups they focus on are also different. Among them, Chase G50 has a rich seat layout and relatively strong power; while Wuling Jiachen pays more attention to ride comfort, has a unique seat structure and smooth power output, and this car is also relatively rich in configuration, with sunroof and Electric seat adjustment. Therefore, it is not difficult to find that Wuling Jiachen is relatively more cost-effective, but the Maxus G50 is still worth choosing, and it is more suitable for those who just need 6/8 seats. So, which of these two cars do you like best?
