In this year's MPV market, independent brands shined, including Baojun 730, Wuling Capgemini, Trumpchi M6 and other models competing to be on the list. Especially the Trumpchi brand, M6 and M8 double-line strategy is extremely successful, the sales of both vehicles are relatively stable, especially the M8 model, anti-Honda two hot selling MPV, truly become a threat to Buick GL8 domestic MPV.
In the MPV list in November, Trumpchi M8 with 7118 sales to sit in the third place position, in addition to the Wuling Hongguang this outlier, Trumpchi M8 can be said to achieve the status of "under one person, above ten thousand people" status. In fact, compared with the sales list in October, including Buick GL8, Alexand and other popular models have different declines, the entire MPV market is also a downward trend, but Trumpchi M8 still maintains an upward trend, outperforming the market performance fully proves that the Chinese market needs such a very cost-effective MPV model.
Recently, we intercepted from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology that the Trumpchi M8 will soon launch a new power combination. According to the information of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, this 1.8T version has a maximum power of 226 horsepower, which has almost no change compared to the old model, that is to say, this is a low-power Trumpchi M8.
Why did Trumpchi launch a low-power version in the case of the original 2.0T selling so well? Many people speculate that Trumpchi wants to pull down the original entry price of 179,800 through this 1.8T engine, this statement personally does not agree, if the pricing and configuration are not well controlled, this 1.8T M8 is extremely likely to erode the recent sales of the same good M6, Trumpchi launched this 1.8T model may have a deeper consideration.
In fact, Trumpchi is also well aware that the existing M8 is still close to the last piece of the puzzle to really beat the GL8, that is, the Toyota Hybrid on the GS8. Trumpchi M8 in the next year a high probability will be a Toyota hybrid system, and the price has a certain float, at this time the fuel consumption of 2.0T is very chicken, the new 1.8T can successfully fill the gap.
Under the dual version policy of 1.8T plus Toyota Hybrid, Trumpchi M8 can not only meet the needs of the people who need to be hybrid, but also allow some oil truck Trumpchi powder to have a car to buy, which also helps the price of Trumpchi M8 to continue to explore, it can be said that it is a two-pronged thing, are you willing to accept the 1.8T Trumpchi M8?
