The new GAC Trumpchi GS8 is currently officially listed, and the price range of the new car is 186,800-246,800 yuan. GS8 has always had a high degree of attention, on the one hand, because the old GS8 has a good user reputation, the new model has undergone innovative changes from the inside out, and the product power has been further enhanced. The second is the changes in the external environment, such as the purchase restrictions in large cities and the gradual liberalization of birth policies, etc., so that the proportion of 7-seater models continues to rise, becoming the focus of consumers when buying cars. The new GS8 is a breath to launch 12 models, but also includes two-wheel drive four-wheel drive, 6-seater / 7-seater and hybrid version, the choice of surface can be described as quite rich, but also to a certain extent increased everyone's "choice difficulty", the new GS8 so many models, in the end how to choose not to lose?
The new generation of GS8 has undergone earth-shaking changes in appearance compared to the old model, and the overall design of the old model is followed, and the proportion is similar to the old model, but in fact, all parts have adopted a new design. The front face is undoubtedly the most brilliant place of the new car, more domineering in design, the size of the front grille is further increased, different powertrain models will adopt different front grille design, pure fuel version of the model, is the official name of its "spread wings" of the grille shape, with the logo as the center of the "V" shape. The hybrid version uses a grille shape called "Dragon Scale Wing", and the overall shape, as the name says, uses a large number of chrome "scale-like" shapes, which is more imposing than "Spread Wings".
The headlights are also the focus of this redesign, although the official name "Eye of Conquest" is slightly in the second, but the overall effect is quite outstanding, a total of eight LED light sources on both sides are the main design of the entire headlights, which not only inherits the old model style at the same time, but also adds a lot of scientific and technological flavor. In addition, the headlights also adopt an opening and closing design, and after opening, there will be a visual effect similar to "opening the eyes", similar to the eye-catching effects of those Gundam in the anime, which has a considerable sense of ceremony.
The side rear model has more inheritance for the old model, and the side shape is similar to the old line, and the square shape looks quite hard, with 20-inch wheels, so that the side look is more full. The taillight part follows the upright design, but has more three-dimensional sense in the internal structure, and after lighting, it presents a multi-dimensional look and feel, and has a better visual effect.
In terms of interior, the new GS8 pays more attention to luxury and technology in interior design. The overall layout is very regular, without using too many design elements, it is quite simple, and it uses a two-color interior match. Most of the vehicle's functions are controlled by a large central screen, which has a sense of cold technology when combined with a full LCD dashboard.
In terms of power, the new generation of GS8 adopts two different power schemes, the pure fuel version of the model is equipped with a Julang power 2.0T engine, the maximum power is 252 horses, the peak torque is 400Nm, compared to the old model in the data slightly improved, with 8AT gearbox, some models provide four-wheel drive. The hybrid version is one of the focuses of this new car, using the THS hybrid system cooperated with Toyota, and the official also unabashedly uses the "dual engine" to call it. The system consists of a 2.0T engine and an electric motor, with a maximum engine output of 190 hp, a peak torque of 320 Nm, a peak torque of 270 Nm for the front axle motor, and an additional 121 Nm of torque for the rear axle motor if the model uses electronic four-wheel drive.
The new GS8 offers two different seat layouts, 6-seater and 7-seater, and there is no difference between the two layouts except for the number of seats, and the GS8 is actually only six models, four pure fuel versions and two dual engines. Perhaps many consumers will struggle with the 6-seater and 7-seat models, these two seat layouts have advantages and disadvantages, the second row of the 6-seat model is more comfortable, and the 7-seat model offers more seat combinations.
For the choice of seats, if there is a need to arrange a child seat in the family, it is recommended to choose a 7-seat model, since the child seat can only be arranged in the middle row seat, it will occupy one or even one and a half of the actual seating space, and the 7-seat model can maximize the benefits of space. If the family member is older than an adult or child, the six-seater model can provide better riding comfort and better take advantage of the second row of independent seats.
The first recommended model: Pilot Series 2.0TGDI Two-Wheel Drive Deluxe Connect Edition Price: 186,800 yuan / Pilot Series 2.0TGDI Four-Wheel Drive Luxury Connect Edition
Secondary recommended model: Dual Engine Series 2.0TM 2WD Premium Edition
According to the convention, we first analyze the entry-level model of the GS8, usually the entry-level model is used to pull down the price, and the medium-sized model is more responsible for the task of walking, but this logic does not exist on the GS8. GS8's entry-level model configuration is rich enough to make some models of the top version of the shame, comfort and practical equipment are sufficient, such as the standard matrix LED headlights, panoramic sunroof, 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard, 540 ° panoramic camera, rain induction wipers These more practical configurations are equipped. The safety configuration is even more equal, only the pilot series four-wheel drive premium version has more knee airbags and parallel assist, and the safety configuration has been quite rich.
In terms of appearance configuration, the entry-level model is not much different from the high-end model, the whole series is equipped with 20-inch wheels as standard, and there is no sensory difference in the lamp part, but the front grille shape and door handle configuration are different. As an entry-level model, the seat form is also in line with the high-end, you can choose 6-seater or 7-seater models, and there is no need to choose a high-end version for more seats. With 186,800, the same power configuration, with the configuration level of the two-wheel drive luxury intelligent connection version, can be said to be the most cost-effective choice, as a recommended model is well deserved.
And why is the four-wheel drive deluxe connected version recommended instead of the two-wheel drive premium version with the same price? The new GS8 4WD system features BorgWarner's intelligent 4WD system, which, like other urban SUVs, relies on multi-chip clutches for 4WD switching. After the four-wheel drive system has been tested by the mainstream media, it has a faster combination speed and stronger high temperature adaptability, which can achieve a certain degree of relief from difficulties, and has a significant role in improving the stability of the road and the passage of the field. Compared with the entry-level model, the difference of 19,000 is exchanged for a set of four-wheel drive and 10-speaker Alpine audio, which is still acceptable.
The reason why the two-wheel drive premium version is not recommended, the biggest reason is that the degree of configuration improvement is not obvious, the same 19,000 differences, compared with the entry model, the main configuration difference is concentrated in the seat configuration, the two-wheel drive premium version of the heated ventilation driver's seat with memory function, and the low-end model does not have the Alpine audio, in addition to these in the use of obvious differences in the function, like the addition of multi-geometric beam LED headlights, multi-layer soundproof glass and Bluetooth key and other configurations, At a price difference of 19,000, it is not very worthwhile, unless there is a strong emphasis on these two configurations, otherwise it is recommended to have a more cost-effective entry version, or a more functional four-wheel drive version.
The GS8, equipped with the latest hybrid system, can only get secondary recommendations. Although this power system is good enough, there is also a good performance in terms of energy consumption, but its price has reached 228,800 yuan, higher than the same configuration of pure fuel version of the model 25,000 yuan, even if there is a more domineering mid-mesh and hidden door handle such a configuration, such a difference can not be ignored, even in the audio configuration is not as good as the two-wheel drive premium version, want to use the saved costs to make up for the difference is not realistic. However, in view of the strength of this power system, if the budget is sufficient, the return of this power system is also very rich, whether it is to care about lower starting costs or more savings in future use costs, is the decisive factor in choosing the dual engine version.
As for the top-of-the-line model of the two powers, this one is not recommended. Contrary to the pragmatism of low-end models, the existence of top-end models is more about raising the positioning of models rather than providing a better car experience. Taking the pure fuel version model as an example, compared with the four-wheel drive luxury intelligent version that is also equipped with four-wheel drive, its difference has reached 34,000 yuan, and the improvement in configuration is not obvious, except for some changes in interior materials and the improvement of seat functions, there is no gap in the use level. The biggest significance of the top model is that it is equipped with the same "dragon scale wing" grille as the double engine series, as well as hidden door handles, as a pure fuel version of the brand face model has no problems, but unfortunately the difference in price difference leads to its poor cost performance.
As for the dual-engine version of the top model four-wheel drive premium version, as the most expensive model in the entire car series, its configuration is consistent with the fuel version of the top model, and the higher price is applied to the electronic four-wheel drive. However, this four-wheel drive system is essentially different from the traditional mechanical four-wheel drive, and has advantages in terms of responsiveness, but in terms of maximum traction and continuous working ability, it is the traditional four-wheel drive system that is more advantageous, and the ability to get out of trouble is not as good as the mechanical four-wheel drive. The most direct effect of the added motor in the rear axle is to provide better power performance rather than enhance the passability of non-paved roads.
The new generation of GAC Trumpchi GS8 shows sincerity in the model layout, and the number of seats can be better adapted to the needs of different users without difference. However, after analysis, it can be seen that although the GS8 provides a variety of different configurations and power schemes, in fact, the cost-effective models are only concentrated in a few of them, and the direct difference between the models is not as obvious as the price difference. However, considering the cost-effective advantage of the recommended models, GAC Trumpchi GS8 also has a good competitiveness in the same level, if it is not obsessed with a certain configuration, the entry-level model is enough to meet the needs of the absolute majority of consumers, and it is the highest priority choice without considering the passing situation.
