Once bought a car model for children, I stumbled upon a domestic brand model - GAC Trumpchi GS8, which sold for dozens of dollars like a number of luxury well-known models, and most of the other domestic brand models did not have this treatment, which shows its popularity. GAC Trumpchi GS8 can be described as a generation of classic models, the replacement version of the GS8 is even more menacing, the styling design is more scientific and technological, the same maintains a sense of strength, but also provides a strong 2.0T engine and dual engine power to choose from, the strength is quite extraordinary.
The 2022 GAC Trumpchi GS8 launched a total of 12 models, divided into six-seat and seven-seat versions, with the same price, and after normalization, there are six series of models, and the price range is 18.68-24.68 million yuan. The body size is larger than the previous model, and the hybrid model has a body length of more than 5 meters. The 2.0TGDI petrol version has very powerful parameters, and the dual engine series of 2.0TM+ motors takes into account horsepower and fuel consumption. Featuring four-wheel independent suspension, the fuel and dual-engine series are both front-drive and four-wheel drive models, and the entire series is electric power steering, with 20-inch large wheels as standard.
The styling design of the previous generation of GS8 is more classic, the difficulty of the new generation of modification is much greater, the 2022 GAC Trumpchi GS8 lives up to expectations, and the new look is more scientific and technological and powerful on the basis of inheritance. The front middle net adopts a wing-out design, the size is very large, and the matrix LED light group is connected with Wei, and the shape is relatively independent, which is very fashionable and very imposing. The lower bumper area of the fuel version is more three-dimensional and complex, which looks a little more MAN.
After the side has been lengthened, it looks more domineering, the standard 20-inch large wheels in the whole series are very wise and conscientious, and the low-end models look equally atmospheric. The waist line from front to back is very good-looking, adding a bit of hardcore atmosphere, and the suspension roof design is very classy. The door area is also designed in three dimensions, which is more neat and textured.
The tail adopts a vertical taillight design, with a slightly convex tail, which is very high-grade and heavy, and also echoes the front face design, which is a bit mecha. The double-sided double exhaust design is adopted, which is also in line with the identity and positioning of the model.
The 2022 GAC Trumpchi GS8 dual engine series adopts a power-through large-size front mid-mesh design, and the grille shape is more complex, and the light and shadow effect is more outstanding.
Unlike the domineering side leak of the exterior, the interior is relatively warm, and the materials and workmanship are very good. A multifunctional steering wheel comes standard with paddle shifters. 12.3-inch full LCD instrument + 14.6-inch central control large screen is very eye-catching, but also very scientific and technological, the function is very complete.
The crystal gear handle is very good-looking, the front row also has a mobile phone wireless charging function, and the multi-function cup holder also has a cover plate to meet the practicality and cleanliness.
It is equipped with 360-degree panoramic images as standard, with high clarity, high practicality of the picture fitting effect, and very convenient daily parking. Medium- and high-end models also have automatic parking to further enhance convenience.
Thanks to the larger model size, the trunk space is still considerable in the three-row seat state. The rear two rows of seats can be reclined, the flatness is also good, and the high-end model also supports electric reclining of the rear seats, which is more convenient. The whole series is equipped with electric tailgate + memory function as standard, which is quite practical.
2.0TGDI gasoline engine parameters are very beautiful, matching the 8AT gearbox, the power response is still excellent, need to fill 95 gasoline. 2.0TM is more emphasis on thermal efficiency tuning, the parameter level is average, with the motor and E-CVT can also achieve a relatively smooth and rapid output, fuel saving performance is first-class, but also can be filled with No. 92 gasoline, it is really quite good. The fly in the ointment, both engines are cast iron cylinder blocks, if it is aluminum alloy, it is expected to have more outstanding performance.
From the perspective of configuration, luxury Zhilian is a high-end model, the configuration has been extremely perfect, and it also provides front-drive and four-wheel drive, which is worth recommending. The Premium series has two-wheel drive fuel and dual engine, as well as four-wheel drive dual engine, which is the core configuration model, and can be purchased on demand. The Fuel Extreme series is extremely highly equipped and suitable for consumers with specific needs.
brief summary
In recent years, the medium-sized SUV market for Chinese brands has been very hot, but most of them are cost-effective products, and there are not many with strong comprehensive strength. The replacement model of GAC Trumpchi GS8 further shows its "muscle" and also sets a benchmark for the product strength of the Chinese brand model camp. Entry is very thick with high matching, and it is enough for ordinary households to buy the lowest match.
