The new generation of GAC Trumpchi GS8 has been on the market for some time, which is a domestic full-size SUV, which is already a minority in the domestic SUV. And in the overseas this car is also a lot of attention, at the beginning of the listing of many overseas media also rushed to report this car, and even some people called it the domestic Highlander.
In fact, I personally do not like to call our own model cars domestic so-and-so, such as GAC Trumpchi GS8 I do not like to call it "domestic Highlander", because there is still a weak position invisibly, and even a little bit of cottage elements. In fact, GS8 is GS8, because under the evaluation, it is really not just a simple car called "domestic Highlander", it has its own connotation and advantages.
From the appearance point of view, this is a very powerful model, the whole vehicle line is clear, the visual impact is strong, there is a strong sense of muscle, and the style of hard school martial arts is very obvious. Moreover, GAC Trumpchi is equipped with a very recognizable headlight light set, which is combined with a three-dimensional and extremely heavy intake grille, giving people a calm, strong and sporty visual feeling.
And its light group details are also commendable, about 8 lamp beads have different shapes, the overall visual sense is very strong. Moreover, the fog lamp part also adopts geometric lines to outline, and the overall front face shows the sense of power vividly, and the original elements are very high.
Side part, the body is more slender, after all, is a 7-seat model, GS8 body size is 4980 * 1950 * 1780mm, not to mention domestic cars, in the joint venture of the same level of such a size can also have a certain competitiveness, and the chassis height is relatively high, there is a strong passability.
The tail is also a boxy three-dimensional shape, which is actually echoed with the front face part, the rectangular taillight detail is still very strong, obviously there is a diamond-shaped shape inside, although there is no through-type taillight, but the fashion degree does not reduce points.
The interior part is made by standard GAC, and the design style of the LCD dashboard and large screen is exactly the same as that of GAC Aeon, but I believe that no one will dislike it. A large number of metal brushed materials and crystal gearbox gear levers have enhanced the sense of luxury of the whole car a lot, which can cut to the preferences of Chinese consumers.
What can better show GAC's self-worth is its car machine system, which uses a 14.6-inch high-definition LCD central control screen to operate more conveniently. And its equipped ADiGO 4.0 intelligent IoT system is also a relatively mature system of GAC, in addition to voice control, its fluency and ease of use are very high, the integrated APP is also more practical, if you have to nitpick, the clarity still needs to be improved.
At the same time, this car also supports CarPlay, HiCar, CarLife three kinds of mobile phone interconnection, for the user-friendly degree is also relatively high, and its app store also has a lot of software to download, we can choose according to our own needs. And the whole vehicle supports OTA upgrades, basically looking at the Internet aspect belongs to the current mainstream.
In terms of space, although there is a wheelbase of 2920mm, there is not much space left for the third row for either seven or six seats, so the third row can only be used as an emergency, and most of the time it may still be used as an expansion of the trunk, after all, most of the real owner's trunk is stuffed with things.
Originally, a full-size SUV of about 2 tons was equipped with a 2.0T a bit of a small horse-drawn car feeling, but the GAC Trumpchi this power system is still performing well, the peak torque is as high as 400 Nm, and it can burst out at about 1700 rpm, so that the start of this car belongs to a relatively solid kind, when the 252 horsepower is fully released, the power performance of this car is very rapid, with the sporty style of the 8AT gearbox, it is too inappropriate to say that it is related to the Japanese car.
However, it must be admitted that the GAC Trumpchi GS8 still learned a lot from the Japanese system, such as the performance in the corners, although the independent suspension of the front McPherson and the rear multi-link is adopted, but it is very soft in the corners. It is not that it is not sensitive enough, after all, more than 2 tons of cars are too sensitive for comfort is discounted, and the biggest demand for SUVs in China is still in comfort, and this car is relatively in place.
Soft lane change, out of the bend can be done more quickly, the power is more direct, although 2.0T really can not be regarded as powerful, but the victory is enough, can maintain the overall vehicle comfort, there is no obvious sense of push back, but the power is also able to keep up, the driving experience is more balanced is my most profound impression of GAC Trumpchi GS8.
Write at the end:
In fact, gac Trumpchi GS8 has a very high degree of personalization, whether it is the shape, interior or power, it can be seen that GAC Trumpchi is very attentive to this car, and Highlander does not have much to do with it. Of course, GAC Trumpchi was able to produce the GS8 car, which is inseparable from the joint venture learning of GAC and Toyota for many years, which cannot be denied. When we take the joint venture road is to exchange the market for technology, GAC has done it, the rest is how to exchange technology for more market, this car is now not only in The country has attracted much attention, foreign media evaluation of it is also very high. Now that the technology has been recognized, will the market be far away?
