Since the launch of the new domestic Kia Jawa, the domestic MPV market has opened a wave of small boom. With a spacious seven-seater space and better comfort, the MPV model is really suitable for the whole family or business reception. But to be honest, in addition to Kia Kahua, there are actually many more cost-effective models to choose from, such as the benchmark model in the domestic MPV - GAC Trumpchi M8.
In fact, before the launch of the new domestic Kia Kahua, GAC Trumpchi M8 has always been a popular model in the domestic MPV market, and also has a high reputation. So if you consider MPV, how should you choose between these two models? Today we will compare and analyze together. First of all, in terms of appearance and styling, the two models are basically different visual styles.
Electric side sliding door is the place where friends who buy MPV models pay more attention, in this regard, the low-end model of Trumpchi M8 is double-sided manual or unilateral electric, and the full range of double-sided electric at Gia Jawa is still worthy of praise.
Appearance summary: In terms of appearance and styling, the new domestic Kia Gava is wide enough and large enough, which belongs to the stable and atmospheric home style, but for business reception, it is still a little less administrative aura, and even less imposing than the Buick GL8. In contrast, the shape design style of Trumpchi M8 is more luxurious, whether it is domestic or commercial, it is more suitable.
In terms of interior, the two models have obvious different styles, Kia Jawa has a family-style dual-screen design and electronic gear shift knobs, which look more technological and luxurious. In contrast, the interior layout of the Trumpchi M8 is slightly traditional, more inclined to a practical style.
In terms of configuration, taking the GAC Trumpchi M8 2021 Master Series 390T Flagship Edition (medium and high) and the Kia Regal 2021 2.0T Flagship Edition (top fitting) as an example, in addition to the active braking, lane departure warning, lane keeping assistance, paralleling assist, adaptive cruise, 360 ° panoramic image, panoramic sunroof, leather seats, double-sided electric sliding doors and full LED headlights, etc., GAC Trumpchi M8 is also equipped with road traffic identification, automatic parking, steep slope mitigation, induction trunk, etc. Wireless phone charging, rain-sensitive wipers and on-board fragrance systems, etc., Cherry Jawa has more fatigue driving tips, paddle shifters, OTA upgrades and side window sun blinds. In contrast, it can be seen that although the overall price range of trumpchi M8 is lower, the configuration is even higher than that of the Agawa top model.
Interior Summary: In terms of interior, Kia Jawa's front row design is the highlight, the luxury and technology atmosphere is more intense, and the space design of the third row of seats is also a major highlight. However, in terms of functionality and luxury, the overall performance of the Trumpchi M8 is better in the second row of seats, which can bring a more comfortable and advanced riding experience to the passengers in the second row.
In terms of power, both models are equipped with 2.0T turbocharged engines, of which the Trumpchi M8 has a maximum engine power of 185 kW (252 hp) and a maximum torque of 390 Nm, matching an 8-speed automatic transmission; and a Kia Kahua engine with a maximum power of 171.4 kW (233 hp) and a maximum torque of 353 Nm, matching an 8-speed automatic transmission. In terms of chassis suspension, the combination of front McPherson plus rear multi-link independent suspension is used.
Editor's summary: In general, although the new domestic Kia Ka Wah has performed well in terms of appearance, space and configuration, in contrast, our domestic GAC Trumpchi M8 actually performed in all aspects without losing or even surpassing Kia Ka Wah. Combined with the relatively lower price range of the Trumpchi M8, I think if you want to buy MPV, the Trumpchi M8 is a more cost-effective choice.
