All along, medium-sized SUV models in the domestic auto market occupy a share of consumption that cannot be underestimated, as major car manufacturers are more optimistic about this piece of "fat meat", a variety of SUV models blooming, while meeting more diversified needs, it is also eye-catching for many car enthusiasts. However, there are always benchmark models that show the way for everyone.
For example, toyota Highlander, a medium-sized SUV benchmark with a budget of about 300,000 yuan, the ideal ONE of the new forces to build a car model, and the Trumpchi GS8, a traditional fuel vehicle breaker, after a generation of fame, naturally makes people look forward to the new second-generation GS8.
What are the biggest highlights of the new GS8 Gen 2? Consumers in different consumption dimensions have different answers, but in the macro sense, this answer is: 2.0TM + the new fourth-generation enhanced version of the THS II. Toyota Hybrid System. In particular, the recent participation in an SUV acceleration performance challenge confirmed this answer.
In our traditional concept, we pay little attention to the acceleration ability of medium-sized SUVs, because the main reason why most consumers choose medium-sizeD SUVs is their excellent space size and good pass-through performance. Similarly, when we mention the Japanese gasoline-electric hybrid model, its fuel saving ability is absolutely impressive.
The SUV models participating in this SUV Acceleration Performance Challenge are the three models mentioned above, they are the second-generation GS8 Dual Engine 4WD Edition, highlander Dual Engine and Ideal ONE. So, who can become the king of the 100-meter sprint?
Let's start with the conclusion:
The second generation of GS8 dual engine four-wheel drive version: 100 acceleration score 6.8S;
Highlander Dual Engine 4WD Edition: 8.4S;
Ideal ONE: 6.4S/8.8S (full oil/power loss).
Are you surprised by the acceleration results of the above three players? Or, from behind this achievement, we can see the "doorway" of the power system of these three models?
In terms of power, the three models can be described as each with their own capabilities, and a variety of power forms are provided.
The ideal ONE uses range-extended power, one of the 1.2T engines and a dual-motor 4WD system, with a peak torque of 530 Nm is truly outstanding. It is worth noting that once the ideal ONE is in a state of loss of power, the power output will be "weakened", when it does not have the assistance of the motor, the 1.2T engine "pinch" this huge ideal ONE does not appear to be "ideal", and in the state of power loss, its fuel consumption numbers rub up, and the car scene is limited.
Toyota's signature THS hybrid system has always been the leader of the same class, toyota Highlander is equipped with a 2.5L hybrid system, the peak horsepower of the 2.5L engine is 192 hp, the peak torque is 238 Nm, and the transmission system matches the E-CVT transmission. In addition, the two-wheel drive version is equipped with a 134kW motor on the front axle, and the four-wheel drive version adds a 40kW rear motor, with a comprehensive output of 249 horses, and the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is about 6 liters, maintaining Toyota's consistent fuel saving advantage.
As for the new second-generation GS8 dual-engine version of the model, the same Hybrid System of Highlander is used, but the difference is that the new second-generation GS8 is equipped with a 2.0T engine, the official data is 0-100km/h acceleration time of 6.9 seconds, and the fuel consumption of 100km/h is only 5.3 liters. In this Zero Hundred Acceleration Challenge, different experiencers tested several times, all completed in 7 seconds, and the best result was fixed at 6.8 seconds. The second generation of GS8 on the integrated expressiveness is surprising enough.
Thanks to the world's leading Toyota THS hybrid technology, the new second-generation GS8 has a huge advantage in fuel economy, and the addition of the new fourth-generation enhanced version of the THS II. Toyota hybrid system allows the GS8 dual-engine version to more reasonably control the distribution of fuel power and electric power, so that the power system always runs in the most efficient range, achieving low fuel consumption and strong power.
If the core value of the new second-generation GS8 and Toyota hybrid models "fuel saving", then the difference between the two is about 100,000, which must be more cost-effective for the GS8 dual engine version.
Of course, the cost performance of the new second-generation GS8 is not a simple low price, but a high value that is given back to consumers through meticulous craftsmanship in all aspects. For example, the GS8 has a better interior design and material touch, a smarter ADiGO 4.0 driver assistance system, and a more attentive Juxing chassis. It further consolidates the pace of Trumpchi's upward exploration. Although it is said that Highlander is an unshakable existence at this level, in my opinion, Trumpchi GS8 seems to be more qualified for this glorious position in the only upgrade of each.
Summary: For a self-owned brand model priced at 200,000 yuan, the re-evolution of the new second-generation GS8 allows us to see its extraordinary strength, through this competition with two strong opponents, we can find that the new second-generation GS8 is more like the ideal ONE and Highlander's set-up, it not only has the new power of technology and intelligence, at the same time, accompanied by the traditional fuel vehicle peace of mind and easy to use. Compared with the other two opponents, it has exchanged a lower price of nearly 100,000 yuan for a more value-for-money enjoyment, and the cost performance of this new second-generation GS8 is also the existence of "true fragrance".
