Recently, it was learned from the official office of GAC Trumpchi that the new Trumpchi GS3 POWER will be put on sale on April 7, and the Trumpchi GS3, as the most entry-level SUV model under GAC Trumpchi, believes that the new Trumpchi GS3 will continue this people-friendly positioning.

Since the new Trumpchi GS3 is a mid-term redesign, there is not much difference between the overall design and the current model, and the details of the appearance have been changed, while the configuration has been upgraded.
In terms of model appearance, the new Trumpchi GS3 POWER continues to continue the family design language of Lingyun Wing 3.0, and the horizontal grille and excellent layering of the front face can also be seen on the new Trumpchi GS3, and options such as the two-color body and the two-color aluminum alloy wheels up to 18 inches are also retained. In order to distinguish it from the current model, a bright yellow decoration was added to the body.
In terms of body size, the official has not yet released the body data of Trumpchi GS3, but it is foreseeable that the size of the new model will not be much different from the current model, and it will be the same in terms of space performance.
Although the configuration of the new Trumpchi GS3 is detailed and not yet clear, the original configuration of the Trumpchi GS3 as an independent brand model is very excellent, and it has the configuration of reversing influence, large screen central control, fixed speed cruise, uphill assistance and steep slope slow descent from the beginning of the sub-low model. The new Trumpchi GS3 will undoubtedly be upgraded from the original configuration of the current model, adding a number of practical functions such as main driver power seats, exterior mirror heating and power folding, and vehicle WIFI.
The power of the new model is not expected to change much, and it is equipped with the same powertrain as the current model, equipped with a 1.5T three-cylinder/four-cylinder engine, and the transmission system is matched with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed manual transmission.
There is also news that the new Trumpchi GS3 will be equipped with a lower displacement 1.0T three-cylinder engine to further reduce the price, although I don't know if the news is true, but if the new Trumpchi GS3 really uses a 1.0T three-cylinder engine, and the price is cheap enough, someone will still buy it.
Guess, if it is really 1.0T three-cylinder + manual, the price may go down to about 60,000 yuan, plus the preferential range, it seems to be quite fragrant. After all, as long as the price is right, two cylinders are not a problem.
For reference, the three-cylinder version of the current model has a maximum power of 120Kw, a maximum horsepower of 163 hp, and a peak torque of 235 N·m. The four-cylinder version has a maximum power of 124Kw, a maximum horsepower of 169 hp, a peak torque of 265 N·m, and fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 5.9 L and 6.5 L, respectively.
Although the Trumpchi GS3 has a three-cylinder version, compared to the four-cylinder model, the power data is similar, the fuel economy is also better, and it belongs to the middle and upper reaches of the same level of models.
It is estimated that the price of the new Trumpchi GS3 POWER is about 70,000-100,000 yuan, which is not much different from the current model. Combined with the price, the cost performance of the Trumpchi GS3 is not bad, compared with the competitors such as Binyue and Changan CS35 PLUS at the same price, the performance of all aspects is also at the mainstream level.
For consumers who do not pay much attention to power and focus on practicality, the Trumpchi GS3 is indeed an SUV worth buying, after all, the new car with a starting price of just over 70,000 yuan can not have too many requirements. If you want to buy an SUV with such an excellent price-performance ratio, you can probably only choose it in your own brand.
