This time, starting from Guangzhou's morning peak Tianhe District to Lingnan Xintiandi, the most prosperous in Foshan's Chancheng District, we measured that the Trumpchi GS8 hybrid fuel consumption is very low, no higher than the fit, but the body is large. Really "big" low fuel consumption, walk in and take a look at it.
A Chinese brand model that can still sell well at more than 200,000 yuan, the Trumpchi GS8 (the first. The high originality and online appearance quickly attracted attention, coupled with the large space seven-seat layout and moderate price, the GS8 became the first choice for 200,000-level 7-seat SUVs. Now, the new second-generation Trumpchi GS8 is coming, which is the first flagship SUV under the GAC GPMA architecture, its design sense is stronger than the first generation, and the most surprising thing is that it actually brought us Toyota's hybrid system.
The appearance of the new car is basically the same as that of the GS8, the front grille adopts a straight waterfall design inside, the headlights on both sides are sharper, the lower encirclement air intake adopts a three-stage air intake design, and the fog lights on both sides of the vertical column layout add a touch of toughness. In terms of body size, the new car has a length, width and height of 4835× 1910× 1785 mm, and a wheelbase of 2800 mm.
In terms of interior, the new car continues the interior layout style of the gs8, using a wrap-around cockpit layout, through the shaping of horizontal and coherent lines, the center console is divided into two parts, the cool full LCD dashboard and the 10.1-inch central control screen also enhance the scientific and technological atmosphere in the car; in addition, the three-frame flat-bottom multi-functional steering wheel, red and black colored seats, large-area soft material wrapping and metal brushing process lines also make the entire interior look more youthful.
The Length of the Trumpchi GS8 is 4835mm, the body width reaches 1910mm, and the wheelbase is 2800mm, from the actual riding experience, the front and rear rows are relatively spacious. The design of the sunroof also increases the subjective spatial perception of the front and rear passengers. In the same class of models at the same price, the Trumpchi GS8 has a trunk volume of 20th place. The spatial performance is limited by the positioning of the model, the performance is acceptable, and the flatness is no problem.
The hybrid version, which has attracted more attention, is equipped with a 2.0TM engine and Toyota's fourth-generation THS hybrid system. This is not only the first time that Toyota Hybrid Systems has been combined with a 2.0T engine, but also the first time That Toyota has licensed its hybrid technology to a non-Toyota brand. According to official data, this hybrid system can enable the new generation of GS8 to achieve a 6.9-second breakthrough and 5.3 liters of NEDC fuel consumption, and a tank of fuel can run 1,000 kilometers.
Although the hybrid system switched engines, GAC engineers said that the total power and total torque of the whole system are the same as highlanders, with a maximum power of 140 kW and a maximum torque of 320 N·m for the 2.0TM engine, a maximum power of 1340 kW for the drive motor, a maximum torque of 270 N·m, and a rear axle motor power of 40 kW and a maximum torque of 121 N·m. And the torque distribution ratio of the front and rear wheels of this electric all-wheel drive is also consistent with the Highlander dual engine, which can be dynamically adjusted between 100:0 and 20:80.
So how does the GS8 equipped with a hybrid system open up? First of all, due to the assistance of the motor, its start is bound to be more brisk than the gasoline version; secondly, the smoothness is also more extreme than the fuel version; and then the sound of engine intervention and high-speed operation, compared to the Highlander dual engine is much calmer, the sound wave is thick and full, there is no Highlander double engine that roars and accompanies the feeling of obvious vibration, NVH is better than the Highlander double engine; finally, the brake performance is strong, and the upgraded braking hardware and the motor anti-drag play a role together, so that this big car can achieve excellent braking performance.
The security upgrade is also one of the highlights of the new GS8. In terms of active safety, the new generation of models is equipped with 22 sensors, which support 27 active safety technologies, including adaptive cruise, lane keeping, active braking, etc. The vehicle can achieve L2.5 level of automatic driving, and can effectively reduce the probability of accidents in driving, parking, pre-collision and other scenarios. In terms of passive safety, the new second-generation GS8 uses a large number of ultra-high-strength thermoformed steels, and the stiffness of the entire body is increased by 25% compared with the previous generation.
Summary: In the 200,000-class domestic 7-seat medium-sizeD SUV market, more and more models have joined the competition, and the first-generation Trumpchi GS8 is no longer the only solution. Therefore, this replacement is particularly important for this once-selling model. After this live experience, you can see that the new generation of Trumpchi GS8 maintains good aspects on top of the excellent previous generation products, such as design and space. At the same time, it also came up with stronger weapons, such as Toyota's hybrid system. In the rapidly changing market environment, only continuous innovation can maintain an advantage.
