The Trumpchi M8 sold another 7,000 vehicles in November, and this year's cumulative sales reached nearly 65,000 units, which is the second model in the mid-to-high-end field after the Buick GL8, and it seems that it has gained a foothold in the market. Of course, this year's MPV market is also quite competitive, and new joint venture brands have joined the camp, Toyota Xena, Kia Jawa, and Hyundai Kustu. In particular, the price of 169,800 yuan in the MPV of the same level of joint venture brand has reached the bottom, which may also make M8 feel potential pressure. Recently, trumpchi M8 declared a new 1.8T version.
The design is not much different from the current model, the huge grille occupies almost the entire area of the front face, in addition to providing a banner version of the Lingxiu series, there is also a longitudinal grille version of the Master series, as well as the old small grille shape for optional installation. The whole body shape is still a relatively square design, without losing the business atmosphere. The tail lights are treated with a penetrating strip and have a high degree of recognition after lighting.
In terms of size, the new car is still 5089/5149× 1884×1822mm, and the wheelbase is 3000mm, which is a relatively spacious level in the MPV model.
The focus of the new car is on the new 1.8T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 166KW, matching the 8AT transmission, and the performance is discounted relative to the current 2.0T version, but it is not far from the 2.0T version of the hyundai Kustro.
The key is the price, the current 2.0T Trumpchi M8 price is from 179,800 yuan, the new version uses a lower displacement engine, the purchase threshold will be further lowered, it is very likely that it will be lower than the 169,800 yuan of Kustu, it is estimated that it can be lowered to about 160,000 to start, and there is no gap between the Trumpchi M6, and the price is still more reasonable.
Of course, Trumpchi M8 can get good sales in the market, and to a greater extent, it still relies on its own good product strength. In fact, car companies have also realized that in the past, like Baojun 730, it is not feasible to simply rely on low prices to attract consumers, and under the environment of upgrading consumer demand and the increasing number of multi-population families, people are more concerned about whether the vehicle itself can bring a more comfortable car experience, and whether the overall quality is passed. In these aspects, Trumpchi M8 has always been well shaped, the product level is highly completed, and it also has a good reputation foundation in the market. Now the addition of the new version has further enriched the camp of the car series, and if it is satisfactory in terms of price and configuration, sales will be closer and closer to the Buick GL8.
