The joint venture has Buick GL8 and the Trumpchi M8.
As a domestic MPV model with a high market retention, The Trumpchi M8 also recorded a test drive evaluation of its seven-seat version last year. In the eyes of many people, Trumpchi M8 is a cost-effective equal to 50,000-80,000 yuan lower than Buick GL8. The master series four-seat version of the Trumpchi M8 is very specially positioned, the exterior and interior are more luxurious, the output is scarce, and there is a price increase at the terminal at present.
In terms of appearance, the four-seat glory version of the Trumpchi M8 Master Series that we shot adopts a straight waterfall type middle net shape, which is more visually impactful and very "alpha". In my opinion, the front face design of the master version is very successful, the material texture is excellent, the shape recognition is high, and the large mouth design is actually more impressive than the Elfa and GL8 and Mercedes-Benz V, etc., and it is definitely not weaker than the aura of the Buick GL8.
It is also worth mentioning that the Trumpchi M8 Master Series Four-Seat Glory Edition adopts a two-color body design, which significantly enhances the luxurious atmosphere of the appearance. The paint has a good pearlescent feel, and the main color of the show car in the store is very similar to Maybach's emerald green.
In the interior part, the main driving seat is not much different from the seven-seat version of the Trumpchi M8, and the difference is mainly in the material and coverage color. The four-seater model features a more luxurious leather interior and a two-tone design. The steering wheel is wrapped in glossy marble lacquer with two-tone leather. It is worth mentioning that the front seat back of the four-seat version of the model can be reclined at a limited angle, which is blocked by the partition between the second row space, highlighting the positioning of the car "in the rear".
Entering the second row, there is first a female welcome speech such as "Welcome to Trumpchi M8 First Class", which is luxurious and "very rough and direct". The second row of seats features an aviation independent seat design with fixed armrests on both sides. Whether the armrests are fixed, and whether they are fixed on one side or both sides, is often one of the important indicators of whether the MPV model is high-end enough, which trumpchi M8 even surpasses the six-seat version of the Buick GL8, directly opposite the four-seat version of the Buick GL8.
Between the second row of seats and the driver's seat, there is a "wall" for space partitioning, and the size of the opening is large, ensuring a sense of transparency. Trumpchi M8's custom Xiaomi LCD TV can be raised and lowered, and the controller is right on the center armrest of the seat. The TV is also equipped with a remote control.
When the TV is not in use, glass is also provided to be raised and lowered to block the air and sound between the main driver's seat and the driver's seat. You can even turn the glass into a fogging effect with one button, at which point the driver can't see what the passengers in the second row or so are doing. This design is very "Maybach Pullman".
Finally, the second row of space also provides Xiaoice boxes, starry sky roofs, and air purification functions, which are very satisfying for the imagination of luxury spaces. Powertrain, Trumpchi M8 four-seater version is also equipped with Julang Power 2.0T engine, maximum power 252Ps, peak torque 390N·m.
The output of the Trumpchi M8 four-seater model is not high, the quota of 4S stores is relatively small, and the terminal also has a price increase. For example, in Chengdu, where I am located, it seems that only two or three Trumpchi 4S stores have appeared in the past year. However, spending more than 300,000 yuan to buy a four-seat independent brand MPV does require a little courage, and its owner must be very character and very emotional.
