It is the GS8 from GAC Trumpchi, as the ceiling model of the seven-seat SUV model of China's own brand, the new model of the GS8 was officially launched not long ago, and the entire price range is 186,800 yuan - 246,800 yuan, which brings unprecedented car choices to many users who have demand for six-seat and seven-seat SUV models.

In recent years, the seven-seater models launched in the Chinese market can be described as countless, and the joint venture brands have Toyota Lufang, Volkswagen Lanjing, Jeep Commander, Ford Ruijie, Cadillac XT6, SAIC Volkswagen Tuon and other models, and China's own brand market is also constantly attacking the high-end market.

The emergence of Lynk & Co 09 has put pressure on many joint venture brands, after all, China's own brands with Volvo pedigree are not comparable to the 300,000-level joint venture seven-seater model.

Therefore, when the new GAC Trumpchi GS8 reappears in front of us, whether it can become a favored product in the market is a topic worth exploring.

In the early years, the emergence of the first generation of Trumpchi GS8 made many independent brands see the dawn of Chinese brands, but also made many joint venture brands jealous, with excellent design and rich configuration, GS8 gained the hearts of many users.

However, with Toyota's control of transmission products, the sales of the first-generation Trumpchi GS8 equipped with Aisin 6AT have declined significantly, and many joint venture brands have also penetrated into this level of SUV models, resulting in the market for the GS8 shrinking.

However, the market will eventually see excellent products, just like the emergence of the second generation of Trumpchi GS8, which makes everyone shine and seems to see the bright star in the independent brand market of that year.

Based on the latest GMPA platform of the Trumpchi brand, the new GS8 not only has a refreshing experience in appearance, but also the changes in interior and power are also very obvious, it can be said that the new GS8 of this generation has a qualitative difference compared with the previous generation of models.

Through the polishing of the design, it also makes potential users understand the GS8 more thoroughly, it is to make a more advanced visual impact, but it still keeps the bottom line of its own brand in terms of price.

The price of 186,800 yuan, in fact, for many users is difficult to choose a suitable seven-seat SUV model, in this price point of China's own brand seven-seater car, in addition to being able to buy a slightly more suitable MPV, SUV is basically difficult to buy.

So GS8 also plays a role in supporting the bottom, and the price falls on people's hearts.

In addition to the new fuel version of the model released this time, the GS8 also brings a hybrid version with better fuel economy, and this hybrid is not independently developed, it is the hybrid technology of Toyota that has cooperated with the GAC Group for many years, but the power used is still 2.0T.

It's hard to imagine toyota taking out all of its housekeeping skills, but fortunately it's the GAC Group.

The biggest advantage of this powertrain is that it is very quiet, in a noisy urban environment, if you want to be quiet, you can go to the library, museum or tea house, but if your car is a car that allows you to drive quietly in the city, is this also a different kind of quiet?

After our actual measurements, the fuel version of the GS8 is 37 decibels in the car under static conditions, and if it is a hybrid version, it may be lower, and it may not exceed 45 decibels if it is driven, because in the case of low speed, the vehicle uses electric drive and has a fairly good quietness.

Of course, there will definitely be many friends who will struggle between Highlander and GS8, but it is completely unnecessary. Highlander's price is between 258,800 and 348,800 yuan, while the top price of the Trumpchi GS8 is only 346,800 yuan, which is less than the entry-level price of Highlander.

The product power that can be obtained is also difficult to give to Highlander's top-end model, so there are many voices in the market that say that GS8 is Highlander's equal replacement product, which is no problem.

When independent brands truly become the protagonists in the Chinese market, many users seem to no longer care about the strength of the brand, because at this stage, China's independent brands are basically no different from the joint venture brands in terms of product strength, and in the configuration of intelligence and comfort, they have far surpassed the joint venture brands.

The dividend period of the joint venture brand is already at the end, in the face of the rise of China's independent brands, the dividends of technology and brands seem to be weakening, and what users really care about is more and more sincerity, just like GS8 can give users more than 300,000 experiences in the range of 200,000, and the people will pay for it.
