Overview

What this generation is, and who it suits.

The Wuling Almaz is a mid-size SUV sold mainly in Indonesia from 2019, closely related to the Baojun 530 and known elsewhere under names like Chevrolet Captiva. Offered with five- and seven-seat layouts, a 1.5-litre turbo petrol with CVT and, later, hybrid versions, it made its name by bundling space and equipment — including the Indonesian-language voice-command system on RS trims — at aggressive prices.

The Almaz effectively established Wuling as a passenger-SUV brand in Southeast Asia, and its ADAS-equipped RS versions pushed features downmarket in the segment. Ownership considerations are typical of newer Chinese-brand entrants: dealer coverage is strong in Indonesia but thin elsewhere, CVT servicing should follow the book, and long-term resale is still maturing. For buyers in its core markets, it remains a value-led family SUV.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Almaz reliable?

Owner experience in Indonesia has been broadly reasonable for a newer brand, with niggles more common than major failures. Keeping CVT and turbo servicing strictly on schedule is the main protection.

Five or seven seats?

The seven-seater's third row suits children and occasional use; adults will find it tight. If you rarely carry six-plus, the five-seat version offers more boot space.

How does it compare with Japanese rivals?

It typically undercuts them on price while offering more features, but gives up brand-established resale strength and the deepest parts familiarity. Total cost of ownership depends on how long you keep it.
