Does the Wuling Capgemini come with remote start?
3 Answers
Yes. Nowadays, more and more vehicle models come with a push-button start feature as standard. However, models equipped with push-button start typically do not include remote start functionality. Yet, remote start is indeed a highly practical and intelligent feature. It allows for remote engine start via smartphone, enabling functions like remote vehicle warm-up. Additional features include: smartphone-based operations where the phone replaces the key fob to lock/unlock doors, GPS positioning, and travel route tracking. Most models can also achieve remote start using the original car key fob. After modification, there's no visible change to the vehicle's exterior, retaining both the original key fob and push-button start system while significantly enhancing functionality.
I've been driving the Wuling Capgemini for a while now, and it indeed comes with a remote start feature, which is particularly suitable for office workers like us. You can start the engine in advance through the official APP, so you don't have to wait for the heater to warm up the car in winter, and you can cool down the interior in summer. It's worth noting that this feature is standard on the Luxury and Flagship trims, but may not be available on the base model, so make sure to check the specifications when purchasing. Downloading the APP is straightforward, but you'll need to register by linking your phone number to the vehicle's VIN to avoid connection issues. Additionally, Wuling's system is integrated into the intelligent connectivity platform, with similar features available on the Baojun 560, but the Capgemini responds faster. From a safety perspective, the remote start has anti-theft settings, but it shouldn't be used in enclosed spaces like garages to prevent carbon monoxide risks. In daily use, it saves time and effort—I often start the car five minutes before leaving, saving a lot of fuel that would otherwise be wasted idling. Overall, this feature is very practical and enhances the comfort of family trips.
As a family user, I chose the Wuling Capgemini for its practicality, and the remote start feature is frequently used in our household. The top trim comes with this function as standard, allowing us to remotely start the engine via a mobile app to preheat the air conditioning or fan, ensuring the kids are comfortable when they get in the car. Not all models come with this feature as standard; for example, the base model might require an additional module, but it's a small expense that's worth it, especially in northern winters to prevent frozen windows. Additionally, it supports remote locking and unlocking, enhancing security. The operation is straightforward with a user-friendly app interface, though delays may occur in areas with weak network signals. Compared to other brands, Wuling offers great value for money, saving a lot of hassle. A reminder: regularly check for system updates to ensure stable functionality, and don’t overlook basic maintenance.
