On December 12, GAC motor announced that its new generation of Trumpchi GS8 was officially launched, as the second generation model, the new car launched the Pilot series (2.0T fuel version) and dual engine series (2.0T hybrid version) two models for consumers to choose, the price range of 18.68-24.68 million yuan.
At first glance, this price is indeed not cheap, and the landing of low-end models is more than 200,000. But if compared with the first generation of models, the new GS8 does have a significant improvement in terms of product strength.
First of all, in terms of appearance, the shape of the second-generation GS8 is definitely attractive. After its debut, some netizens said that the appearance of this car can be comparable to the domineering Range Rover, whether it is the front face, side or rear of the car, the overall visual effect is very domineering.
At the same time, the size of the new car is also one circle larger than the old model, with a body length of 4980mm and a wheelbase of 2920mm. Very standard replacement practice, no one wants to replace the size of the model is getting smaller and smaller.
Of course, the larger the size, the greater the space. The second generation of GS8 provides two layouts of 6 seats and 7 seats, I have experienced the 6-seat version before, the center is quite spacious, and people with such a figure can easily enter the third row, and the third excludes the low seats and squeezes the stomach, and there is nothing wrong with the other.
Secondly, in terms of technology configuration, the second generation of GS8 strengthens the voice interaction system of the car machine, equipped with ADiGO 4.0 intelligent IoT system, which is more convenient to use and understands the heart of the owner.
Finally, the power system, the second generation of GS8 in addition to the 2.0T + Aisin 8AT transmission fuel power combination, but also for the first time the use of 2.0TM engine + Toyota fourth generation THS composed of hybrid system, its 100 km acceleration time of 6.9s, NEDC working fuel consumption of 5.3L / 100 km, under normal conditions, a full tank of fuel can run more than 1000 km.
However, Trumpchi's popularity has long been less than before, not to mention that the GS8 car price range of 18.68-24.68 million yuan is also the primary camp of the joint venture SUV, so the brand competitiveness of the Trumpchi GS8 is slightly worse. So even if its product strength is strong, in the end it depends on whether consumers buy it or not.
