Unfortunately, a "Made in China", weighing 2 tons and comfortable comparable to Elfa, lost in the price increase
Mention the current "Made in China", I believe that most people will give a thumbs up, not only in the quality control of vehicles more and more excellent, product line layout is also becoming more and more abundant, has not lost those old joint venture cars, so domestic cars have officially entered the stage of rise. But even if the SUV and sedan field has achieved good sales results, there are still shortcomings, that is, in the MPV field, in addition to the Wuling Hongguang, Baojun 730 and other people-friendly models, like the high-end MPV field is still controlled by GL8, Odyssey and other models.
In fact, domestic cars have also launched many high-end MPV in recent years to test the market, the most representative of which is trumpchi GM8. The comprehensive performance and product strength of Trumpchi GM8 are not inferior to Odyssey and GL8 at all, which should open the door to the domestic high-end MPV market, but one of Trumpchi's decisions has harmed it, that is, the price increase. Because the foundation of Trumpchi GM8 at that time was not stable, the market had not yet gained a firm foothold, so it began to increase the price of Alpha, which was seriously dissatisfied by domestic consumers, and finally the sales were really poor. Therefore, the author can't help but sigh: it is a pity that a Chinese-made car weighs 2 tons, and the comfort is not lost to alpha, but it is defeated on the mark-up car. (The picture shown is the official customized version of GM8)
In terms of appearance, the front face adopts a large-size straight waterfall type plated trim decoration, the shape is sharp and chic, and is connected with the matrix LED headlight group on both sides, with the triangular sports kit on both sides of the front face, which looks very impactful, and the aura can compete with Alpha. The side adopts a classic double waistline design, and the bottom of the door is inlaid with a layer of pale gold-plated metal trim, which echoes the color on the wheel hub, exudes an indescribable sense of refinement and honor, and the appearance performance is much more beautiful than that of the GL8 and odyssey.
In addition, the GM8 has a length, width and height of 5066mmX1884mmX1822mm, a wheelbase of 3000mm, and is smaller in size than gl8, but it is larger than both Odyssey and Alpha, so the space is still very outstanding. In terms of seat layout, the standard version adopts the regular 7-seat layout, while the customized version adopts a four-seat layout, the front and rear rows are separated by partitions, and a large display is embedded, equipped with a mobile refrigerator, wine glass rack, two aviation seats, and the seat also has a heated massage function, the comfort and entertainment experience is completely comparable to Elfa, or even stronger.
The central control part does not have many highlights, but a large number of leather and metal buttons still make it appear full of texture, and the configuration is also quite rich, such as cruise control, 360-degree panoramic image, automatic parking, segmented sunroof, double-sided electric doors and other functions. In terms of power, the entire GM8 series is equipped with a 2.0T engine that meets the National VI emission standards, and the transmission system matches the 8AT hand-integrated gearbox, with a maximum power of 185kw, a maximum horsepower of 252 horses, and a peak torque of 390 Nm. The power system and the GL8 are roughly the same in terms of power, but they are 40 more torque than it is, which can fully meet the driving needs of any road section, which is very strong.
Summary: Judging from the comprehensive performance of Trumpchi GM8, its appearance, configuration, power, and comfort are not inferior to the GL8 and Odyssey of the same level, and can even cross the level and compete with Alpha. And its starting price is only 179,800 (the customized version will add 35,000 modification fees), it should have achieved good sales results, but the reason for the dismal sales now is that it has failed in the price increase, and it is true to imitate it, but it is also based on its own brand influence to decide, before it has officially gained a foothold, it is also natural that consumers will not be dissatisfied, and alpha's markup is because of the production problem, not to improve the willful approach of awareness.
