If you start to say that the launch of gac Trumpchi's new generation GS8 last night was a lot of attention, it is really exaggerated, but in all fairness, the new GS8 is indeed a model that exudes the attraction of "buy me right".
Looking at the price first, the price range of the four 2.0T fuel versions is 186,800-239,800 yuan, and the price range of the two 2.0T hybrid models is 228,880-246,800 yuan. Compared with the previously announced pre-price, the starting price of the fuel version model is two thousand yuan cheaper, while the hybrid version is consistent. Earlier this month I also mentioned that the pre-price of the new GS8 is relatively reasonable, and if the official price can be lower, it can also bring small surprises. Now, it's a small surprise.
Both power specifications are quite gimmicky. The fuel version is equipped with a 2.0T engine officially called "Julang Power", with a maximum power of 252Ps and a maximum torque of 400N·m, matching Aisin's third-generation 8AT gearbox, only from the data point of view, it is still very eye-catching, but limited by the advertising law and other reasons, GAC Trumpchi official high-profile declaration of "domestic Zui strong 2.0T" and other descriptions, you know about it.
The hybrid version of the model is composed of a 2.0T engine + Toyota's fourth-generation THSII. hybrid technology, with a maximum engine power of 190Ps and a maximum torque of 320N·m, matching the E-CVT gearbox. Although Trumpchi does not mix itself like BYD, Great Wall and Geely, it can also be regarded as a skill to take Toyota's hybrid technology and use it.
In addition to having two different powertrains, the new GS8 offers two exterior options and two seating layouts (6 and 7 seats), depending on preferences and needs.
The interior and exterior design need not be said at this point, but the size still needs to be mentioned again. The new GS8 has a length, width and height of 4980 (5015)/1950/1780mm and a wheelbase of 2920mm, which is an increase of 120mm compared to the current model. Again, the saying goes: Bigger than Highlander, that's really big.
If you are in a hurry to hear the conclusions about the configuration that you are most concerned about, allow me to use the sentence "the configuration is quite high" to make a general overview. Specifically, the most beginner two-wheel drive deluxe edition (186,800) model has front and rear radar, 360 ° panoramic image, full speed domain ACC adaptive cruise, lane keeping, lane departure warning, traffic sign recognition, AutoHold, uphill assist, steep slope slow descent and other technical configurations, while 20-inch aluminum alloy rims, remote start, front keyless entry, inductive electric trunk, leather steering wheel, main and passenger power seats, front seat heating, driving recorder, wireless charging, Matrix full LED light source, automatic headlights, multi-color atmosphere lights, rear privacy glass, automatic air conditioning + rear independent air conditioning, air purifier and other comfort configurations are also readily available.
In addition, the combination of dual screens like the 12.3-inch full LCD instrument + 14.6-inch central control screen emphasized by the official is also the standard of the whole series, and the built-in ADIGO 4.0 system also supports online navigation, online video and audio, continuous voice interaction, intelligent perception, gesture control, face recognition, 540 ° transparent chassis, app store, OTA upgrade and other functions.
Up, there is the two-wheel drive premium version, priced at 205,800, which is 19,000 more expensive than the two-wheel drive deluxe version just now. The difference in price is equipped with parallel assist, reversing side warning, automatic parking, Bluetooth key, steering wheel heating, front seat ventilation, driver's seat memory, boss key, ALPINE Alpine sound system, and multi-layer soundproof glass in the front row.
If you feel that these configurations are not needed, and you want a set of timely four-wheel drive (with off-road + snow mode) and ALPINE Alpine audio, you can also spend 205,800 to buy a four-wheel drive luxury version model. In fact, this can be seen from the model name. Reasoning this kind of price and allocation method is rare and deserves praise.
Before it was finished, the top four-wheel drive extreme version was priced at 239,800, and compared with the two-wheel drive premium version, it added the configuration and functions such as knee airbags, hidden electric door handles, HUD head-up display, LED fog lights, and rear seat power reclining.
Obviously, the new GS8 fuel version is enough to buy the cheapest model directly. And this is enough, not only to meet the needs of daily use, it can also provide considerable convenience, comfort and technology. As for the 20.58 million models, it is recommended that those who have the pursuit of the four-wheel drive system can try, and the most exaggerated extreme version is completely unnecessary.
Coming to the hybrid version of the model, although the model name is still the premium version (divided into two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive), in fact, GAC Trumpchi still played a little clever. Because in addition to replacing a hybrid system, the other configurations are still somewhat different from the fuel version of the premium version of the model.
Taking the hybrid two-wheel drive premium version priced at 228,800 as an example, compared with the fuel two-wheel drive premium version priced at 205,800, it lacks parallel assist, automatic parking, reversing side warning, steering wheel heating, ALPINE Alpine audio system, etc., but adds hidden door handles, HUD head-up display, built-in driving recorder, rear seat electric reclining, etc. On the whole, the configuration of the hybrid two-wheel drive premium version is between the status between the luxury version and the premium version of the fuel model.
As for the hybrid four-wheel drive premium version (246,800), it is simple, adding 18,000 on the basis of the above, replacing a set of timely four-wheel drive and ALPINE Alpine sound system, this deal is still very cost-effective.
Overall, 205,800 should be considered a watershed in the price of the new GS8. Pay attention to cost performance or budget tight, directly choose the entry of the deluxe version; if you are willing to add more points for a four-wheel drive system, then choose the four-wheel drive deluxe version. If the iron heart wants to mix, then don't hesitate, just match the highest match. To sum up: either buy the cheapest one or buy the most expensive one.
In addition, the price of GS8 is also around 200,000 after all, so it has also used some thought in the sense of luxury. For example, a large number of sound insulation materials are used throughout the car to enhance the control of NVH; two interior colors, black and white color is responsible for classic, dark green interior is responsible for fashion; leather materials, seam embellishments, diamond seats, etc., so that GS8 can not be faulted from both visual and tactile.
Recall that when the first generation of Trumpchi GS8 was listed, it broke the ceiling of the Chinese brand SUV price of 200,000 yuan, and it was not less despised by people. Then the GS8 gave the best response with 220,000 sales results, and also subverted the inherent pattern of the medium and large SUV market.
Nowadays, it is no longer "Why should I spend more than 200,000 yuan to buy a domestic SUV?" " era. Instead, we're going through the question "Why don't I spend more than $200,000 on a domestic SUV!" "The changing times. Of course, we don't necessarily have to GS8, but as long as you choose a car in this range, the GS8 is definitely one you can't get around.
