If the past 10 years is the world of SUVs, then the protagonist of the next decade must be MPV, with the increase of second-child families and people's travel awareness changes, MPV space spacious and practical properties are being recognized by more and more people.
The so-called Spring River plumbing duck prophet, the rise of the MPV market has been keen sense of smell of joint venture car companies in the eyes, only in the past year, there are Toyota Syna, Kia Kahua and Hyundai Kustu and other heavy models launched, while BYD, Chery and Great Wall and other independent brand car companies MPV models are also on the road.
Speaking of independent MPV, GAC Trumpchi has to mention that this car company has been cultivating the MPV market for many years with a forward-looking vision, its M8 is the representative of the domestic high-end MPV, and the smaller M6 ranked second in the MPV sales list with a sales volume of 6820 units in December 2021, behind it there are Honda Odyssey, Alexand and Hyundai Kustu and other heavy joint venture models, today let's take a look at how it is done.
The Trumpchi M6 currently on sale has two ordinary versions and PRO versions, the biggest difference in the appearance of the two is in the front face, the front face of the ordinary version of the M6 uses a large area of chrome decoration, the overall presentation of a "U" type design, it looks simple and exquisite, and the front face of the PRO version is more bold, the array of LED daily running lights on both sides of the grille is domineering after lighting up, the overall look is more Toyota Alpha's sense of luxury, the side modeling and the tail modeling on the two models are almost the same, are square shapes, Everything for the interior space.
Speaking of space, the length / width / height of trumpchi M6 is 4780 * 1837 * 1730 / 1765mm, the wheelbase reaches 2810mm, it adopts a 2-2-3 style 7-seat layout, I am 1 meter 77 height, adjust the front seat, the second row of seats adjusted to the back, at this time the leg space has three fists or more, very spacious, keep the seat unchanged, sit in the third row, the legs have reached the second row of seats, in general, the space performance of the Trumpchi M6 is still qualified, When the car is fully loaded, it will not feel crowded, and the PRO version model also adds a double armrest design for the second row of seats, and finally no longer has to lean on the door panel, like the cup holder and the USB power interface are also completed, it is worth mentioning that the third row of seats of the Trumpchi M6 can be sunken storage, at this time the trunk is a flat storage space, the practicality is very good, the fly in the ointment is that the adjustable range of the second row of seats is not large.
In terms of interior, the PRO version adds a central armrest box, this change does improve the comfort and storage space of the front row occupants, while the ordinary version is like the Odyssey, the front row adopts a through-type platform design, both have advantages and disadvantages, but as a driver I prefer the PRO version of the design, the two models also have some differences in gear handles, central control screens and button positions, etc., but the overall change is not large, and the overall workmanship and materials in the car can also be satisfactory.
In terms of configuration, the starting price of the ordinary version is only 109,800 yuan, the configuration is also slightly shabby, and the PRO version from 129,800 yuan is standard with 6 airbags, reversing images, cruise control, multiple driving modes, remote start, leather steering wheel, leather seats, 10.25-inch central control large screen, matrix LED lights, rearview mirror lock car automatic folding and automatic air conditioning and other functions, to meet the daily home is completely enough, the cost performance is very good.
In terms of power, the entire Trumpchi M6 series uses a 1.5T engine codenamed 4A15J1, with a maximum power of 124kW and a maximum torque of 265N·m, only looking at the parameter performance is not too much highlight, but its gearbox has 6-speed manual, 7-speed wet dual clutch and 6-speed automatic transmission from Aisin to choose from, especially at the end of last year, the addition of two 6AT models has made its competitiveness have been greatly improved. After all, consumers who buy MPV models have higher requirements for quality stability than other models. In terms of actual driving experience, the acceleration performance of the two automatic models is not excellent, the top of the premium version of 0-100km/h acceleration performance is more than 11 seconds, the shift speed is not fast, but the smoothness is not quite good, only at low speed frequent gear changes can occasionally feel some setbacks, such performance also determines that it is more suitable for home or business reception.
Written in the end: Trumpchi M6 and hyundai Kustu have a lot of similarities, the two cars have similar size and space, but also 1.5T engine (Kuss on the way low), M6 in terms of power is not as good as Kustu, but in terms of cost performance is almost complete, for consumers, 13 million can do things who will want to spend 200,000? This is the secret of Trumpchi M6's hot sales.
