Double eleven has not been long in the past, followed by double twelve is coming, for all female friends, the biggest pleasure of double twelve days should be to empty the shopping cart; and for all car enthusiasts, double twelve this day there is a very worthy of the new car on the market, that is, GAC Trumpchi new second generation GS8, its price range is 186,800 - 246,800 yuan, a total of 6 configuration models, which are divided into 4 fuel versions and 2 hybrid versions.
GS8, as a flagship SUV model under GAC Trumpchi, left a deep impression on consumers when it was first launched a few years ago, and in the sales process of the following years, GS8 also laid a solid reputation in the domestic auto market. With the passage of time, a lot of new models have emerged in this segment, which makes the competitive advantage of the first generation of GS8 less obvious, so in order to return to the peak, this has also become the best time for GS8 to change generations.
From the product point of view, the replacement of the new second-generation GS8 is quite successful, and the degree of change is so large that it can be said that it is a makeover from the inside out. As a new replacement, the new second-generation GS8 is built using GAC Group's global modular GPMA architecture, and the new car provides a total of two exterior designs to distinguish hybrid models from fuel models.
The main difference in appearance between the two models is concentrated on the front face intake grille, the fuel version of the model forward air grille uses the "dragon scale wing" design, while the hybrid version of the front air grille uses the "spread wing" design, both of which are very designed. The hybrid version of the grille is larger and more exaggerated. It is worth mentioning that the high-end model of the new second-generation GS8 is also equipped with the world's first opening and closing design "Eye of Conquest" headlight, which is very sharp and full of technology.
In addition, the new second-generation GS8 also provides a variety of body colors for consumers to choose, including the relatively rare "ink seal green" color, ink seal green will give people an extremely advanced feeling visually, more suitable for slightly younger consumers to choose.
On the side of the body, the new second-generation GS8 still continues the square lines of the old model, and the overall is very tough and full of power. And the rear of the vehicle is also equipped with privacy glass, which subtracts the cost of the later film. In the hybrid version of the model, there are even more hidden door handles and other configurations, which are more futuristic. Due to the use of a new platform, the overall body size of the new GS8 has also increased, reaching 4980/1950/1780mm in length, width and height, and wheelbase of 2920mm, in addition, the body length of the hybrid version model is slightly longer than that of the fuel version, reaching 5015mm.
In the tail shape, the new second-generation GS8 uses a design style that echoes the front face, the overall is relatively vertical, and the same use of vertical strip tail lights, with high recognition, the tail light inside the shape of the virtual and real combination. Below, the new second-generation GS8 also features a chrome-trimmed bilateral exhaust.
Entering the car, the new second-generation GS8 is also in line with the new forces of car manufacturing in the interior design, although the overall design is relatively simple, but the overall texture is still relatively good. For example, most places in the car use soft materials and leather wrapping, followed by the addition of wood grain decoration near the gear shift area, which is full of high-end feeling.
Almost all the functions in the car are concentrated on the 14.6-inch suspension central control screen, which has built-in GAC Group ADiGO 4.0 intelligent IoT, which can realize online navigation, audio-visual entertainment, AI speech recognition, line-of-sight bright screen, OTA, one-key intelligent pilot, L2+ intelligent driving assistance, integrated parking and other functions, taking into account practicality and sense of technology.
As a domestic mid-size SUV model, the new second-generation GS8 in terms of space performance is also very good, in terms of seat layout, the new second-generation GS8 series with a 6/7 seat seat layout, and thanks to the 2920mm wheelbase, so the new second-generation GS8 is very suitable for home use, even if the third row of seats, can also be easy and comfortable to ride.
In addition, the powertrain is also a highlight of the new second-generation GS8, which has a total of fuel and hybrid power versions. The fuel model is equipped with a 2.0T GDI engine from Julang Power, with a maximum power of 185 kW (252Ps), a peak torque of 400 N·m, and a transmission system matching Aisin's third-generation 8AT transmission, with excellent power parameters.
The hybrid model is equipped with a 2.0TM engine + Toyota's new fourth-generation THS enhanced hybrid system, which has a maximum engine power of 140 kW (190Ps) and a peak torque of 320 N·m, matching the E-CVT gearbox, the fuel consumption performance is very good, and the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption is only 5.3 liters per 100 kilometers.
Write at the end:
From the perspective of the product strength of the new second-generation GS8, GAC Trumpchi has upgraded it from the inside to the outside, compared with the old model, the product strength of the new car has been greatly improved, and it has a more prominent competitiveness. On the one hand, in the price range of 200,000 yuan, the joint venture brand medium-sized SUV can only buy the entry configuration, whether it is space or configuration is relatively shabby, and on the other hand, the models that independent brands can choose in this price range are too limited, so for consumers who have 6/7 seater models just needed, the advantages of the new second-generation GS8 will be more obvious. As for whether the new car can return to the peak of sales in the next few days? Let's wait and see.
