With the continuous progress of Chinese brands, the 200,000 yuan level, which was once regarded as a strategic highland, now has their presence, among which the second-generation GAC Trumpchi GS8 and Xingtu Lanyue, which have just been listed, have become the models that many people pay attention to with their excellent product strength and people-friendly pricing.
So the question is, when you hold 200,000 yuan, how should these two flagship Chinese SUVs choose? Professor as a "car buyer", for this purpose specially found the main sales version of the two cars, will be the consumer's most concerned about the size, space, configuration, power and other aspects of the comparison, then let's see how the results are!
Although appearance is the decisive factor for many consumers when buying a car, objectively speaking, the professor believes that aesthetics are a matter of opinion. Moreover, the overall styling style of Trumpchi GS8 and Xingtu Lanyue is relatively similar, with a tall, full body design, which is more in line with the atmospheric style that Chinese likes to hear.
For pragmatic consumers, believing that body size is the more relevant part of them, after all, this has a greater impact on the interior space. It can be seen from the table that the GAC Trumpchi GS8 is larger than the Starway Moon in terms of length, width and wheelbase, but the amplitude is not large.
However, compared with the joint venture 7-seat SUV at the same price, these two cars can be said to be a very advantageous existence, even the more expensive Toyota Highlander is difficult to compare.
In terms of specific spatial performance, after actual measurement, the leg space, width and seat cushion length of the first two seats of gac Trumpchi GS8 are significantly better than those of Xingtu Lanyue, but the overall spatial performance of the third row of seats is not as good as that of Xingtu Lanyue.
This also reflects the difference in the concept of the two cars in terms of spatial layout, the third row of seats of the Trumpchi GS8 is more like the occasional positioning, while the Starway Moon is the pursuit of balanced comfort of the full car seats.
Therefore, in terms of space, if it is for users who do not use the third row of seats very often, then the Trumpchi GS8 will be more comfortable and spacious in daily use. If it is a family user who often travels with a full load of 7, then a more balanced space of the star journey will be a more reasonable choice.
In addition, there are also large differences in the trunk volume of the two models, perhaps in order to create a larger seating space, trumpchi GS8 in the 7-seat mode of the trunk space is small, the depth is only 420mm, can only fit 20 inches of luggage.
The StarWay Moon is more spacious, the 7-seat mode can still provide a volume of 450L, and it is more than enough to put down the 28-inch suitcase, which is believed to meet the use scenarios of 7 people traveling together.
Coming to the interior, the Trumpchi GS8 looks to represent two extreme styles in terms of design layout and Starway Moon, Trumpchi GS8 adopts a cleaner line and the popular 14.6-inch suspension central control screen under the time, which is also the more popular design style of many new energy vehicles at present, but it is easy to produce an incongruous feeling in terms of aesthetics, and the main StarWay Lanyue adopts a double 12.3-inch joint screen, which is also the design style used by many luxury brands at present, and the use of operation may not be as visually impactful as the suspension screen, but it is a plus for the integration of the cabin, and in terms of materials, the two cars are not much different, and they use a sense of grade chrome , soft plastic, leather wrapping to create, touch and look have a good effect.
In terms of vehicles, both models are equipped with the current popular car networking system, which can provide practical functions such as online multimedia, navigation, and remote control. And all have good fluency, which can eliminate the dependence on mobile phones to a certain extent. However, in contrast, the Trumpchi GS8 will be more visually comfortable with its larger size.
The specific configuration takes the version of the two car owners as an example, most of the users most commonly used LED headlights, central control screen, leather seats, adaptive cruise, panoramic images and other configurations are available, in the same price point basically belongs to the level of full, which to a certain extent can reduce consumers in the later installation of the configuration of the expenditure.
In the most critical aspect of power, it can be seen from the table that the two cars, as the flagship products of their respective brands, use the most advanced and advanced assemblies in the house. Among them, the Trumpchi GS8 gasoline version is equipped with a combination of 2.0T + Aisin 8AT, with a maximum power of 252 horsepower and a peak torque of 400 Nm, which is basically the most outstanding presence in the same price.
Thanks to the advantages of Backed by Chery, its new Star Core 2.0T engine has a maximum power of 261 horsepower, which is 9 horsepower greater than the former, but the peak torque is also 400 Nm, and the transmission only uses Getrag's 7DCT, which may not be as good as aisin 8AT in terms of smoothness and reliability, but there is a certain advantage in shift transmission efficiency.
In terms of chassis suspension, both models are equipped with a four-wheel independent suspension combination of the front McPherson type rear multi-link type as standard, and a four-wheel drive system is provided on the high-end model, which is a normal configuration of this level and is enough to cope with most of the potential use scenarios.
It is worth mentioning that both cars need to be refueled with No. 95 gasoline, and the comprehensive fuel consumption owner feedback is about 10L/100km, and the cost of the car in the later stage still needs to be paid attention to.
If you care more about fuel consumption, then you may wish to increase the budget of tens of thousands of yuan to choose Trumpchi GS8 dual engine version, which is equipped with a 2.0TM hybrid system that not only brings a better driving experience, but also shortens the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers to about 6L, the effect is more significant, which can greatly reduce the cost of the car in the later stage.
Through the above comparison, it is not difficult to see that the two cars are currently popular in the market of large-size 7-seat SUVs, in addition to the difference in layout concepts so that the two cars make the space performance of the two cars have obvious differences, in the overall mechanical performance and configuration richness, the two models can be said to have great advantages, from a certain point of view, perhaps only the brand's preference is really to determine how users choose, from the brand power of Trumpchi and Xingtu are equal, of course, GS8 last generation model has laid a good market reputation , this is probably also the Trumpchi terminal price is not as affordable as the star of the moon to the bottom of the bottom, as for how to choose? I believe that after reading it, you can already find your ideal range of choices!
