I still remember that in about 2015, in a high-speed rail station in Shanghai, a poster of Trumpchi GS4 was hung in a conspicuous position, showing the effect of Trumpchi GS4 breaking through the stone forest in a realistic form, if nothing else, the advertisement that can occupy such a position as the high-speed rail station, Trumpchi GS4 has won. Years later, GS4's big brother Trumpchi GS8 will continue the legend of the flagship SUV.
Recently, according to our latest understanding, GAC Trumpchi's new second-generation GS8 has been officially launched, including a total of 6 models of the Twin Engine Series Hybrid and The Pilot Series Fuel Edition, and more importantly, the price range of the new car is 186,800 yuan - 246,800 yuan.
That night, the performance phalanx composed of 1818 drones shone in the night sky, and the new second-generation GS8 domineering dragon scales and listing prices were displayed by changing the formation, which was very shocking.
After half a year of brewing, the new car has finally been on the market, in fact, the car has attracted everyone's attention since its debut, because compared with the first generation of models, there has been a comprehensive upgrade in styling.
The first is that the hybrid and fuel use two different front face designs, and the "Spread Wings" and "Dragon Scale Wings" grilles hold the domineering momentum just right.
There are also "Eye of Conquest" headlights, which are very effective at night, with a three-stage front bumper and large air intakes, both high-end and luxurious. At the same time, the taillight group of the new car also uses a vertical light group in order to echo the headlights, rather than the through-channel taillights that follow the waves.
You know, the brand of GAC Trumpchi is not only reflected in the appearance, but also the texture of the interior is also quite rich.
The 14.6-inch central control screen + 12.3-inch full-fit LCD instrument, ADiGO intelligent driving interconnection ecosystem and intelligent driving assistance system, and even adopt the same AR-HUD (head-up display function) as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and the AVDC shadow rider function (GAC Adaptive Vehicle Dynamic Control System) that is stronger than the BMW DSC.
Of course, it is also based on the GPMA-L platform, the wheelbase of up to 2920mm, coupled with a large number of soft leather including and diamond-shaped sutures, can make the interior seats as comfortable and luxurious as possible. In particular, the 8-speed adjustment of the backrest of the second row of seats has an adjustable range of 131 °, which is an extremely wide "Queen's Recliner".
A valuable point is the power, the fuel version of the new car adopts the "strongest domestic 2.0T", that is, the use of Julang Power high-power 2.0T GDI engine + Aisin's third-generation 8AT powertrain, which is greatly optimized in terms of starting response to shifting smoothness.
In view of the foundation of the family advantage, the second generation Trumpchi GS8 is equipped with Toyota THS hybrid technology, and is also the first Chinese brand model equipped with Toyota THS hybrid technology, with an acceleration time of 6.9s from 0-100km/h, a fuel consumption of 5.3L/100km under NEDC conditions, under normal conditions, a full tank of fuel can run more than 1000km, and a tank of fuel can travel up to 2022 kilometers under extreme test conditions.
This is why we say that if there is a budget, the Trumpchi GS8 must be on the dual engine hybrid version, and such fuel economy and power output, only after feeling it, can you really understand its true fragrance law.
Written in the end: In this way, the new generation of Trumpchi GS is indeed full of sincerity, but how much waves can be set off in the market of urban SUVs in the future, it still needs time to examine, we will wait and see.
