We editors usually recommend which model to buy to others. But this time is different, it is bought first and then recommended! This is a sharing article about a car editor and dad buying the Trumpchi M8. The content is the truest idea from the heart, and the car process is also based on facts, pure natural, additive-free, no preservatives!
This is a purchase article based on a single model of Trumpchi M8, if you have no interest in MPV, or do not have the demand for MPV and are thinking of taking article X off. Wait a minute, friend! This article is the insider's unreserved car buying idea, is the terminator on the road to your car entanglement, maybe what you want to buy is not necessarily Trumpchi M8, maybe your needs are completely different from me, but the direction can be learned.
First of all, the 7-seat MPV mainly solves two kinds of car needs: the first is business, recommended Buick GL8, Toyota Alpha / Will Law, and then Lexus LM, can understand the so-called business needs not only to meet the ride, the price on the car purchase invoice may be one of the key factors to negotiate the list, which will not be described here. The second is to solve the needs of multiple people traveling at home, which is exactly what I need for a car.
First of all, I belong to a family of four + parents + a dog, so the third row usage rate is very high.
There are 7 seats of demand, whether to choose an SUV or MPV, this kind of article is actually a lot on the Internet. But in my opinion you need to clarify your family travel scenario, if the third row of usage is almost no longer necessary to consider the MPV, after all, the space and sitting posture of the third row of 7 SUVs are basically losing "human nature", if you just want to have a very small probability of emergency use, it can be considered, and for the third row of demand, then MPV is king.
How do I love uploading the M8 step by step?
The first thing that needs to be clear is that in addition to buying space for a home 7-seat MPV, another big reason is to buy a configuration, and must sit comfortably, the second row must be an "aviation seat" (a separate seat with leg rest), this configuration is completely an MPV qualitative change of enjoyment, and the other is that the configuration of the rear row is as high as possible, after all, you need to travel with an old and small family. So the goal before buying a car is already very clear. Oh yes there is also a hard condition, the budget can not exceed 300,000.
In this class of MPV models, I have my eye on the Buick GL8, Odyssey and Trumpchi M8. Hyundai Kustu and Kia Jawa two models because of the appearance of the family is not liked, so it was directly not considered.
Back to why I finally chose trumpchi M8's 2021 Lingxiu series 390T flagship version (264,800) of the Buick GL8, Odyssey and Trumpchi M8. The reason is very simple, when I compared the three models, I found that within 300,000 yuan, only the Trumpchi M8 could meet my series of requirements. Buick GL8 and Odyssey are slightly weaker in power than Trumpchi M8, followed by GL8's 2022 land business class 652T smart deluxe (269,900) and Odyssey's 2022 2.0L e:HEV Sharp & Smart Edition (275,800) configuration, such as front \rear head airbags, 360-degree panoramic images, double-sided electric doors, reversing side warnings, front seat heating\ventilation, second-row leg rest\waist adjustment\heating\ventilation\massage, and small table boards are not equipped at this price. The Trumpchi M8 is fully equipped.
To tell the truth, the Buick GL8 is indeed better than the Trumpchi M8 in terms of brand, mechanical quality, and space utilization, but the configuration I want needs to be up to medium and high. The appearance of the Odyssey is really what I like and the fuel consumption is low, the floor is also very friendly to the elderly, and the space utilization is extreme, which is really fragrant! There are two main reasons for the final abandonment, one is that the configuration is backward, and the top configuration does not have rear seat ventilation and massage; the other is that the overall driving comfort is still slightly poor, and the appeal of using MPV is contrary.
Regarding the color, in order to avoid being too much like a professional driver, still picked white.
1 month car experience
After talking about the experience of choosing a car, let's talk about some of the car experience in the past 1 month, I decided to start from the appearance unavoidably. Personally, I think that the design of trumpchi M8 is the best in Odyssey and Buick GL8, Odyssey is a little bit showy, and Buick GL8 is too commercial.
Trumpchi M8 has an innate sense of domineering, its appearance aura is higher than some competing models, the front face has elegant headlights and simple wide grille, coupled with a large number of chrome trim embellishments, in the MPV market of about 200,000, there are really few models more domineering than it. The suspended roof, privacy glass at the rear, double-sided sliding doors, and a slender body give it a unique character of the MPV model.
Although the rear of the car is not as exaggerated and radical as the front face, the through-style taillights and double exhaust decoration also make it equally imposing.
The interior has a low-key and gentle temperament, the material is uploaded to the M8 in the central control screen and around the gear is a bright black piano paint, the co-pilot front there is a large area of perforated leather material, even the inside of the door panel is also embellished with wood grain trim and silver trim, the sense of luxury is very in place.
Sitting in the second row is where the soul is, the electric independent seat with foot support, ventilation, heating and massage are all available, and the seat fit is completely impeccable.
But these configurations in the rear have nothing to do with me as a "driver", so far I have not experienced these comfortable configurations in the rear row for more than 20 minutes, hey!
The space in the third row of the Trumpchi M8 is not particularly exaggerated, but long-distance use is certainly no problem. In the case of the third row of seats, it is no problem to put down two consignment boxes. But a slight regret is that the whole platform is still a little high, which is not very convenient for the elderly and children at home.
Finally, the topic that only "drivers" are interested in is driving. The Trumpchi M8 offers a 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 252 hp and a maximum torque of 390 Nm, matching the Aisin 8AT transmission.
In terms of actual driving experience, the power performance of the Trumpchi M8 is relatively excellent in the MPV. Whether it is in the starting, acceleration or high-speed stage, 2.0T can provide sufficient power, Aisin 8AT is not at all dragging its legs, and did not find the problem of downshifting and setbacks, and the power response is on call.
In terms of driving quality, although there are still a lot of bounces on the fine road, there are still obvious advantages compared with some competing models.
In fact, there are many reviews and configuration interpretations on the Trumpchi M8 network, so I will not describe them here.
The above is a 1-month car experience, because the car time is not very long, the experience is not particularly in-depth. What surprises will be found in the future and will continue to be shared with you.
