Market environment analysis
The second generation of GAC Trumpchi GS8 (priced at 186,800 yuan - 246,800 yuan) can be regarded as competitors of the same level, SAIC Volkswagen Tiguan L (215,800 yuan - 281,800 yuan), Tanyue (186,900 yuan - 264,900 yuan), Highlander (258,800 yuan - 348,800 yuan) can be regarded, but the second generation of Trumpchi GS8 has obvious advantages in terms of price, and the configuration and space are more outstanding.
After all, the second generation trumpchi GS8 is a replacement model, word of mouth and brand is the biggest weakness, how easy is it to talk about the second spring? For an SUV of about 200,000 yuan, it is not that the higher the cost performance, the better the sales, nor the stacked configuration can harvest fans, nor can it create a luxury model overnight, but what is needed is the precipitation of time and technology.
