The Wuling Jia Chen is a Chinese minivan with global aspirations that stands out for aspects such as its design, its capacity to accommodate up to seven passengers, and above all a demolition price of less than 10,000 euros that make it one of the cheapest alternatives in the market. market.
The name will sound familiar to many Wuling, famous in this part of the world for their low-cost electric cars. But the initiative formed by the Chinese manufacturer SAIC and the American General Motors also works on gasoline models. They have now launched on the Chinese market a minivan with up to 7 seats with a knockdown price.
The Wuling Jia Chen is a compact minivan, 4.78 meters long, designed as a global model, which means that it will come outside of China, and that stands out for aspects such as its new brand design language where we see aspects such as a grill of elegant design and a set that at first glance does not indicate that we are facing a low-cost model.
The Wuling stands out its flexible interior “2+2+3”. The middle and rear seats have 800mm of legroom. Rear seat height is 322mm with longitudinal space above the seat cushion of 952mm and shoulder room of 1,382mm. The rear seats can be lowered or folded forward for a maximum cargo volume of 1,177 litres. Additionally, we can find up to 23 storage spaces inside.
In the mechanical section, Jia Chen mounts a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine with 147 hp which is managed by an 8-speed CVT transmission, in a set that achieves consumption that according to Chinese homologation remains in the 7.2 liters per 100km.
But when we talk about low cost and China, many wonder about the safety of the vehicle. In this case we find a high-strength steel structure, as well as four airbags. A 10.25-inch screen with the Ling OS operating system completes the equipment.
Best of all, without a doubt, is that this model has come out in China with Se prices between 68,800 yuan (€9,776) up to 99,800 yuan (€14,181). Some really juicy figures for a large model, with a more than respectable design and designed for families looking for a low-cost alternative.
