In the suspension system, trumpchi GA8 adopts the front double wishbone independent suspension commonly found in luxury cars, and the rear multi-link independent suspension, and the overall adjustment is more moderate, so that comfort and handling can be taken into account.
On the whole, the product strength of Trumpchi GA8 is still good, but for the consumer groups of medium and large cars, they have BBA medium and large cars to choose from, whether it is chassis strength or luxury, it is incomparable to GA8.
