According to relevant media reports, the hybrid version of GAC Passenger Car's compact sedan, GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard, will officially roll off the production line this year. The new car will be equipped with GAC's self-developed GMC2.0 hybrid system, of which the thermal efficiency of the engine is 42.1%, and the fuel consumption of the new car can be as low as 3.6L.
In terms of appearance, the hybrid version of the model basically continues the exterior design of the fuel version of the high-end model, using a large-size hexagonal intake grille, and the straight waterfall grille with large-size trims similar to ventilation openings is also quite combative. It is worth noting that the trim on both sides of the grille of the new car will be different from the fuel version of the model in terms of color matching. The headlights of the new car are still sharp, and the smooth body lines also add an elegant temperament to it, including the two-tone double five-spoke wheels and the exhaust layout of the two-sided four outs have not been adjusted. In terms of details, the hybrid version of the model does not carry a small size of the bright black spoiler at the rear, and the trim similar to the air diffuser at the bottom of the tail is also adjusted to bright silver, and the unique HYBRID logo also highlights the identity of its hybrid version.
In terms of interior, the overall hybrid version of the model has no obvious adjustment in the interior design, still equipped with a full LCD instrument and a suspension central control screen to form a dual screen, and built-in ADIGO intelligent interconnection ecosystem. In terms of color matching, the hybrid version will have a unique contrast color scheme of blue and black, while the bright yellow elements of the central channel and steering wheel position have also been retained, including the imitation carbon fiber pattern trim in the gear handle position.
It is reported that the hybrid version of The Shadow Leopard will be equipped with the GMC2.0 hybrid system independently developed by GAC, which is composed of the fourth-generation 2.0ATK engine of GAC and the GMC2.0 electromechanical coupling system. The official claim is that the thermal efficiency of the engine used in this hybrid system has reached 42.1%, the fuel consumption of the new car is 3.6L per 100 kilometers, and the acceleration time of 0-100km/h is 7.3 seconds.
