New to the road, but driving steadily like an old driver? It sounds like an impossible task, but GAC Trumpchi's new second-generation GS8 does.
Later this month, a track showdown between a novice and an old driver was officially staged. Novice drivers and veteran drivers drove GAC Trumpchi's new second-generation GS8 to complete the track race, and used the amount of water retained in the water cup in the car as the basis for the decisive victory.
Although novice drivers lost to older drivers in the first lap, they then achieved a leapfrog technical improvement, and the amount of water retained in the cup increased significantly. The secret to the technological improvement of novice drivers lies precisely in the AVDC shadow driver function of the new second-generation GS8.
"Domain Control" technology is blessed, and shadow riders help you keep your word steady
For most people, "shadow rider" is obviously a relatively abstract concept. When we mention this keyword, the first thing that comes to mind is probably the "shadow" in the racing game that you will never be able to surpass. Experienced and skilled, it is always able to pinpoint every brake point, get out of the best line, and make the fastest full speed. And although you can't surpass this shadow, as long as you follow its rhythm, you will always find your own rhythm and refresh your lap speed.
The AVDC shadow riders equipped with GAC Trumpchi's new second-generation GS8 can be said to be somewhat similar to it, but also a little different. To say similar means that both are like professional instructors, which can improve the driving skills of the driver. The difference is that the core of the former is "fast", while the latter can also improve speed, but its core goal is still "stability".
From the principle of understanding, we can think of avdc shadow rider function as a set of auxiliary systems based on intelligent algorithms and multiple control domains. Through the "domain control" technology, it has carried out dynamic integrated control of the engine, gearbox, chassis, electrical appliances and other systems in all fields, so that the various subsystems of the vehicle can achieve information exchange and dynamic adjustment, which can help the driver drive the vehicle more smoothly.
If such a technical description is too jerky and boring, then from the perspective of the actual driving experience, our most intuitive feeling is that the whole car will correct the signal entered by the driver to a certain extent in different states, so that the vehicle is easier when entering the corner and smoother when exiting the corner.
During the day's race test, we were also able to visually observe the role of avdc shadow riders through the amount of water left in the cup. Without avdc shadow riders turned on, novice drivers finished the track and had less than a third of the water left in the water cup in the car. In the state of the AVDC shadow driver, after the novice driver runs the same lap, the remaining amount of water in the water cup in the car is about two-thirds, which is obviously better.
More importantly, using the AVDC Shadow Rider feature does not require professional operation. As a feature that helps drivers improve driving performance, AVDC shadow riders only need the user to tap on the central control screen to enter the working state. At the same time, it is also divided into a variety of driving modes, and in each mode, the throttle response speed can be independently adjusted, which meets the different car scenarios of the driver's daily life.
It can be said that for novice users, AVDC shadow drivers are a professional coach who can help users improve their skills and drive the car steadily in every driving. For experienced veteran drivers, AVDC Shadow Riders can also further correct their inappropriate operating details, thus improving their driving skills. No matter what driving level and preferences the user has, AVDC shadow drivers can use intelligent technology to enhance the user's driving experience, which is both practical and intimate, efficient and reliable.
The product strength is not inferior to the joint venture, adapting to the needs of multi-child families
Of course, the highlights of GAC Trumpchi's new second-generation GS8 are far more than the "AVDC Shadow Rider" function. As an evergreen tree in the field of autonomous SUVs, the new second-generation GS8 has also been fully optimized in other aspects of the product.
In the field of powertrain, this often troubled card neck problem of self-owned brands has not become a shackle to the new second-generation GS8. With the Torquewave Power high-power 2.0T GDI engine, the new second-generation GS8 not only delivers leading power performance, but also energy efficiency.
In this showdown, we were also able to experience the leading level of the new second-generation GS8 in the chassis calibration level. On the one hand, the new second-generation GS8 can provide a certain mid-to-rear support when cornering, the steering feel is flexible and adjustable, the braking force is linear and confident. On the other hand, the new second-generation GS8 can also show a good degree of quietness and comfortable filtering performance under daily operating conditions.
Focusing on the current trend of intelligence, the new second-generation GS8 is equipped with two screens in sizes of 14.6 inches and 12.3 inches on hardware, and is equipped with AR-HUD devices with TFT projection technology. In the process of using the car, the user can control the functions of the vehicle through voice interaction, and get more convenience and safety while enjoying the convenience of the online network connection system.
It is worth mentioning that in the space field that consumers attach the most importance to at this level, the new second-generation GS8 also has a relatively strong performance. With a length of more than five meters, a wheelbase of nearly three meters, and a width of almost two meters, the new car provides a generous space base for the new car, coupled with the practicality brought by the three-row seat layout, the new second-generation GS8 accurately meets the needs of today's multi-child families.
It is undeniable that the competition for SUVs in the price range of 200,000 yuan is quite fierce, from the independent brand of Xingyue L, Xingtu Lanyue, HS5 to the joint venture brand of Tiguan L, Rongfang, CR-V, can be described as a strong plethora, but the models that can really lead the market trend are rare.
Based on a deep insight into consumer needs, the first generation of GS8 has attracted a lot of attention since its launch in 2016. It has not only gained wide recognition from home users, but also taken the lead in making independent brand models stand firm in the price range of more than 200,000 yuan by virtue of its excellent product strength, breaking through the "independent price ceiling" in the inherent cognition of the market, and leading independent brands to achieve value upwards.
Today, the new second-generation GS8 not only retains the previous accurate insight into consumer needs, but also goes one step further in terms of powertrain, intelligent experience, luxury quality, design aesthetics and so on, achieving a continuous leading position in the market segment.
Write at the end
At present, new cars with the labels of technology and sports are emerging in an endless stream, but the real test of car companies is not the superficial effort, but whether they can truly transform the advantages of the technical level into the improvement of consumer car perception.
I think that based on the AVDC Shadow Rider feature that can make novice seconds older drivers, the new second-generation GS8 has already gained a foothold in this new track. The classic topic of independent brand exploration will also be written by GAC Trumpchi's new second-generation GS8.
