With the proposal of the national "three-child" policy, the replacement of a station wagon that can accommodate the whole family is becoming more and more popular with multi-family families. MPV, known for its large space and comfort, is becoming the first choice for families to buy a car. After seeing this market trend, major automakers have launched their own MPV models, and models such as Volkswagen Weiran, Toyota Xena, Kia Kahua and the local Roewe iMAX8 continue to enrich the choice of the market. However, from the perspective of sales, buick GL8 is still the best choice for MPV. And surprisingly, sales of the Trumpchi M8 have also climbed to 7,000 units, becoming another popular choice after the Buick GL8.
Why are these two popular MPVs the first choice of many people? Which is more fragrant? In this issue, let's analyze it.
The pairs of parameters for the two models are shown below:
From a parametric point of view, the buick GL8 has more advantages in stature and wheelbase. The Trumpchi M8 is not only cheaper, but also has better book power output.
Another thing to say is that as the "king" of the high-end MPV market for many years, the sales of the Buick GL8 are far ahead of other models. Although sales of the Trumpchi M8 continue to rise, the cumulative sales of the first 11 months are still only 40% of the Buick GL8. But trumpchi M8's complaint index is higher than that of the Buick GL8. From this point of view, the complaint rate of the Buick GL8 is much lower than that of the Trumpchi M8.
According to the sub-item comparison data, the overall complaint index is larger than the GAC Trumpchi M8, except for the transmission complaint index is the same and the index of the front and rear axle suspension is lower than the Buick GL8, the rest of the complaint index is higher than the Buick GL8, especially the body and electrical complaint index is as high as 29.7.
From the perspective of the composition of the complaint, the body electrical problem is the largest problem in the complaint index of the two models. The issue accounts for more than half of Trumpchi M8's overall complaint index. At the same time, it can be seen that the suspension system complaint index, which usually does not have a high complaint rate, accounts for more than 20% of the overall complaint index of Buick GL8. This shows that both models have typical problems in the body electrical and suspension systems. In addition, both models have lower complaints about engines and services.
The main problems of GAC Trumpchi M8 and Buick GL8 are shown in the following figure:
Through data analysis, it was found that the sunroof leakage problem has become one of the most important typical problems of Trumpchi M8. After investigation, the main cause of this problem is that the waterproof measures at the skylight are defective, indicating that the quality of the manufacturer's products needs to be examined. At the same time, the trumpchi M8's engine cooling system failure complaints accounted for 17.62%. Many car owners said that the water temperature increased abnormally due to the leakage of the engine water pipe. Judging from the complaint data, this problem mainly appears in the 2021 Lingxiu series 390T Premium Edition.
The complaint data analysis of Buick GL8 shows that chassis noise is its biggest problem, and the proportion of complaints about this problem has reached 18.45%. Judging from the feedback of the owner, the problem is caused by the problem of the top glue, but there will still be abnormal noise after replacing the top rubber. This problem has also triggered many car owners to be dissatisfied with the after-sales service, some car owners said that the quality of vehicle accessories is poor and the merchants have not clearly expressed compensation for the safety problems caused by the deformation of the front and rear axles.
summary:
Overall, the complaint index of the two models is not high, and the product quality is still relatively reassuring. Considering sales, the Buick GL8 has a lower complaint rate. Even so, both models have exposed certain laying problems. Sunroof leakage and engine water pipe leakage are the two major objects of Trumpchi M8 being complained about by car owners. Chassis noise is the main problem of complaints from Buick GL8 owners.
In addition, it should be pointed out that the price of Trumpchi M8 is much lower than that of Buick GL8, but the functionality and actual car experience are basically the same as those of Buick GL8, which is also the fundamental reason for the quiet growth of Trumpchi M8 sales.
