"Double Twelve" is a day when many people post a single in the "pen circle", but this year there are some exceptions, and some people's circle of friends has been brushed up by a replacement of independent brand models. Because of the "Double Twelve" day, the new second-generation GS8 was listed live in the estuary of Nansha New District, Guangzhou.
It can make the new second-generation GS8 more attractive than the "Double Twelve", perhaps not the redesigned appearance, perhaps not its highly technological interior, not even the price range of 186,800-246,800 yuan, but should be the new car equipped with the dual engine series 2.0TM engine + the new fourth-generation enhanced version of the THS II Toyota hybrid system.
The new second-generation GS8 is the first Chinese brand model equipped with Toyota THS hybrid technology, and the matching is not the 2.0L or 2.5L naturally aspirated engine common to the Toyota family, but the 2.0T engine independently developed by GAC, with a maximum horsepower of 190Ps and a peak torque of 320N·m, and only the peak torque of the engine is much stronger than the Toyota 2.5L engine.
With Toyota THS hybrid technology, the 100 km/h acceleration is 6.9s, and the fuel consumption of NEDC is 5.3L/100 km. As a medium-sized SUV with a body size of 5015/1950/1780mm and a wheelbase of 2920mm, it is obviously quite outstanding.
The fuel version of the new second-generation GS8 can not be ignored, this version of the model is equipped with Julang Power high-power 2.0T GDI engine + Aisin third-generation 8AT powertrain, using GAC GCCS combustion control technology, Miller cycle, 350bar high-pressure direct injection system and other advanced technologies, the maximum horsepower of 252Ps, peak torque of 400N·m, the highest thermal efficiency of up to 40.23%, the power performance is equally excellent.
In addition, some of the new GS8 models of the second generation are equipped with E-FOUR electronic all-wheel drive systems. With the assistance of the four-wheel drive system, the new car can realize a wide range of adjustment of the power distribution between the front and rear axles from 100:0 to 20:80, so that the driver of the car can also get the pleasure of the rear drive. At the same time, the vehicle also has its own Trail off-road mode to enhance its ability to get out of the unpaved road.
In addition to the excellent power system, the new second-generation GS8 based on the GPMA architecture (GPMA-L platform) inherits the body shape of the old model to a certain extent, replaced by the "ZhanWei Wing" of the Pilot series and the "Dragon Scale Wing" of the Dual Engine Series, with the new LED headlight group of "Eye of Conquest", which instantly enhances the temperament of the front face of the new car.
Wide body side, the line design is more square, stretching the visual effect of the new car side, the "Dragon Scale Wing" of the double engine series adopts hidden door handles, which reduces the wind resistance coefficient of the body while improving the unity of the vehicle side, and the look and feel is more prominent than the previous generation model.
The tail that seems to have no change, the taillights with a new shape, the taillight group with vertical shape, and the internal light source adopt a geometric layout, which makes the rear of the new car more eye-catching after lighting. In addition, the directional exhaust of the bilateral double out, combined with the shape of the airflow diffuser, shows that the medium-sized SUV can also have a unique sense of movement.
The car enriches the visual effect of the car with the shape of "Star Diamond Diamond Shadow", with a 12.3-inch LCD instrument + 14.6-inch central control screen, and a new style of short and concise electronic gear to enhance the sense of technology in the car. At the same time, HUD head-up display, 32-color mood light, ADiGO 4.0 intelligent IoT and intelligent driver assistance and other configurations give the new second-generation GS8 a wonderful interior atmosphere.
It is worth noting that the new second-generation GS8 not only provides a 7-seat version of the model this time, but also launches a new 6-seat version to meet the diversity of consumers.
After five years of precipitation, the new second-generation GS8 seems to have changed little, but it has been readjusted in many aspects to fit the trial period of today's consumers. The focus is that the new car has become the first domestic independent brand model to use Toyota's THS hybrid technology, matching Toyota's own stronger engine, providing vehicle power level at the same time, reducing the fuel consumption of the new car, so that the fuel consumption of the SUV with a length of more than 5 meters can also be quite outstanding.
