In the MPV field, which focuses on business travel, Buick GL8 has always occupied the position of the absolute boss, with monthly sales of more than 10,000 results far ahead of other opponents, and it is lonely and defeated. However, the price of GL8 is indeed not low, ES Lu Zun minimum matching is more than 300,000 yuan, even the previous generation of fathead fish version (now named land business class) also needs 230,000 yuan to start.
Of course, if the budget is limited, there are actually other options at a price of more than 200,000 yuan, such as Trumpchi M8. And just recently, the main business style of Honda Alissen also ushered in a rebrand, can they become another choice outside the GL8, what are the advantages and disadvantages of these two models? Let's take a look.

Immediately following the new Honda Odyssey, the new Alexand has also changed its face. First of all, the most obvious change in the new car is the front face, in fact, a major feature of the Alexandr compared to the Odyssey is that it is more suitable for business purposes, and this time as a mid-term redesign, the business atmosphere of the new car is obviously stronger.
With the blessing of the latest family design language, the new Alexand feels much more refined and stylish, and the oversized grille occupies more than half of the front area of the car, so it looks more atmospheric and stable. The redesigned headlights are in line with the Odyssey and are more technological than the older models.
The Trumpchi M8 offers two designs: the Lingxiu series and the Master series. The middle net of the Lingxiu series is modified by horizontal chrome strips, and the bottom is equipped with penetrating trim strips, which is very imposing, while the higher positioning of the master series uses a straight waterfall grille, and the visual effect is more domineering.
On the side, the new Honda Alexand has been equipped with the latest style of wheel rims, the longer door handle has always been its tradition, very business style, and the Trumpchi M8 creates a more stylish feeling through the suspended roof. In terms of body size, trumpchi M8 is ahead of Alissen in all aspects, of course, the length of more than 5 meters also means that it will be more laborious to travel through the city.
Honda Ellison redesigned the taillights, and the blackening effect was very deep, and they were penetrated through the chrome strips in the center, enriching the layering of the rear. The Trumpchi M8 is equipped with a through-line light strip, the bottom of the chrome bracketing shape and a bilateral exhaust gas to enhance the atmosphere, but the tailgate sill is high, the convenience of handling heavy objects is not good.

Walking into the carriage of the new Honda Alexand, the first feeling is that it is suddenly much younger, not only in the visual impact brought by the reddish-brown color, but also in the latest family style, which also allows the Alexand to keep pace with the times, abandoning the outdated impression of the previous old-fashioned autumn. In particular, the 10-inch floating central control screen with the new HONDA CONNECT 3.0 intelligent guide interconnection system has raised the intelligent experience of the whole vehicle by more than one step.
The center console design of the Trumpchi M8 is more conventional, the symmetrical layout is quite attractive, and the wide center console around the electronic barrier is more luxurious than that of Alexand. In addition, the combination of full LCD instrument and 10.1-inch central control screen creates a scientific and technological atmosphere in place, which is also the consistent strength of domestic cars.
In terms of configuration, Trumpchi M8 continues to maintain the advantages of domestic brands, and can already buy high-end or even top-equipped models in the 250,000 yuan price segment, providing L2 level assisted driving, front and rear seat electric adjustment/ventilation/heating and many other comfort functions. In contrast, Honda Ai Lishen is more "arrogant", and at the price of 300,000 yuan, it is equipped with a series of auxiliary driving functions, full-speed adaptive cruise and electric tailgate.
However, in the space part of the Ai Lishen to win back a city, even if the body size is not dominant, but with excellent space utilization has been completely out of the Trumpchi M8 riding experience, 7 people full load can ensure good comfort. And when it's time to move large items, the completely flat floor of the third row of seats is significantly more practical when it comes down, and in four-seat mode, the second row of seats can enjoy the enjoyment of first class.

The two models are completely different routes in the power part, the new Honda Alexand is still equipped with the third generation i-MMD hybrid system, which consists of a 2.0L engine and an electric motor, of which the maximum power of the engine is 146 horsepower, the peak torque is 175 Nm, the system has a combined maximum power of 215 horsepower, and the transmission system matches the E-CVT transmission.
The Trumpchi M8 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 252 hp and a peak torque of 390 Nm, and the transmission system matches the 8-speed manual transmission.
Summary: On the whole, within 300,000 yuan, the new Honda Alishen and Trumpchi M8 can indeed become a good replacement for the Buick GL8. The appearance of the new Alisson is more commercial, moderate body size and excellent space utilization rate make it have super practicality, the blessing of the hybrid system and the use of MPV are more complementary; and the image and positioning of Trumpchi M8 is actually more similar to GL8, the configuration of the leapfrog is a huge advantage over the joint venture rival, and in terms of price, the cost performance of trumpchi M8 is also highlighted again, I believe this is also a key factor in attracting consumers.
