As a B-class car with a body length of nearly 4.9 meters, the entry price of the 2022 Trumpchi GA6 is only 108,800 yuan, which is not only eye-catching in the same class, but also has a certain price advantage compared with the low-level A-class car. So, how does the specific configuration of such a relatively low threshold B-class car perform, and which one is more worth starting? Let's take a look at it.
Exterior styling
The 2022 Trumpchi GA6 continues the shape design of the old model and adopts the "Light and Shadow Sculpture 3.0" design language of the GAC Trumpchi family. The front face part is designed as a "Lingyun Wing", and the headlights of the high-end models are also equipped with dot matrix LEDs, which makes the visual effect after lighting up even better. In addition, as a redesigned model, the 2022 model also adds a "Haoyue Gray" paint color to choose from.
The 2022 Trumpchi GA6 on the side of the body has no obvious changes compared with the old model, and is still a traditional sedan model, with the smooth lines that a B-class car should have, and its straight roof shape can also bring better rear head space. In terms of dimensions, it has a length, width and height of 4891/1850/1505 mm and a wheelbase of 2815 mm.
The design of the rear part of the 2022 Trumpchi GA6 is decent, the through-type tail light group is also an LED light source, and there is also a through-channel chrome trim strip embellished above, which enhances the sense of luxury and lengthens the visual width. As a non-sporty model, the exhaust part is not exposed, but chrome trim is also installed at the bottom of the rear bumper to enhance the sense of luxury.
Interior configuration
The interior part, the 2022 Trumpchi GA6 also maintains the design of the old model, and the central control part is a joint screen composed of two large-size screens, one of which is a 12.3-inch LCD meter, and the other is a 12.3-inch multimedia screen. And the multimedia screen also has a built-in Trumpchi Cloud Intelligent System, which can provide a very rich set of functions. The interior as a whole is dominated by black, but other colors are added to the center console and the door panel to distinguish it, and the combination of two colors also enhances the sense of grade.
In the configuration part, the 2022 Trumpchi GA6 part of the model provides L2 level automatic driving functions, including automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, adaptive cruise, integrated cruise system, traffic congestion assistance, lane shift warning, lane keeping assistance, fully automatic parking, etc. In addition, according to the configuration, it is also equipped with matrix LED headlights, panoramic sunroofs, 32 colors + 8 levels of brightness intelligent atmosphere lights, in-car air automatic control system + PM2.5 sensor, and blind spot monitoring and other functions.
