A new vibrant look
Unlike the low-cost route of most domestic small SUVs, Trumpchi GS3 POWER takes a delicate route, especially in the appearance design, rich details give the whole vehicle more novelty, no excessive publicity design, everything is very coordinated.
The 2022 GS3 POWER adopts the Lingyun Wing 3.0 grille design, the large area of chrome plated mesh is very delicate, and the chrome strip on the hood extends to the sharp LED headlights, which is very holistic. Rich transverse design elements further stretch the visual width, making its front face more visually striking. It is worth mentioning that the Jinxiang version and the Jinzhi version of the model also added a "Haoyue gray body + yellow decorative parts" color scheme, a more stark contrast makes people bright, in the grille banner, wheels, fenders and other parts with yellow details to embellish, The Jinxiang version of the model also added a low wind resistance shark fin antenna, the detailed design is also full of sincerity.
The new car has a length of 4350/1825/1660 mm in length, width and height, and a wheelbase of 2560 mm, which has a certain size advantage in the same class. The body side design retains the classic elements, and the black trim panels of the D-pillar create a suspended roof effect, which is also the most impressive design detail of the Trumpchi GS3. The pronounced wheel arch shape and upward lines at the bottom of the doors, combined with a powerful waistline, outline the flow of the design for the Trumpchi GS3 POWER.
The rear of the car does not have too exaggerated design, so that people look more harmonious and comfortable from the visual point of view, and the new "POWER" on the right side of the tail represents the identity of the new car. The raised ridges under the rear windshield and the spoiler above the roof bring a smoother visual effect, and with the rear bumper shape and the silver guard at the bottom, the low profile contains more fashionable and sporty elements, which is more in line with the aesthetic preferences of today's young consumers.
Exquisite interior, smart technology
In terms of interior design, the 2022 Trumpchi GS3 POWER adopts a variety of material splicing composition, and uses a large number of rounded corner design elements, central control leather decoration with stitching, increasing the sense of layering, but also more fashionable and refined. At the same time, the interior of the Jinxiang Edition and the Jinzhi Edition also added a dynamic yellow color scheme, which transformed the seat belt into yellow for a more lively visual effect. Especially in the small SUV market, it is definitely worth praising to be careful in details.
The new borderless 7-inch LCD meter with 10.25-inch central control screen creates a stronger technology atmosphere for the entire interior. And also the use of a "black" technology, the dial of the LCD instrument using semi-transparent black film material, can simulate the 10.25-inch full LCD display display effect, the overall sense of the screen off state is stronger, the visual effect is better. "Smart" full voice, car mini program, car QQ music, car singing bar plus the latest 4.0 version of AutoNavi's car map brings an unprecedented new travel experience.
The new car series is equipped with carLife & CarPlay smartphone interconnection system as standard, and the Jinxiang edition also adds Huawei's HiCar smartphone interconnection system and in-vehicle Wi-Fi, providing a people-car-home all-scenario intelligent interconnection solution.

Configuration upgrade, the strongest cost performance
In the past, when it comes to the configuration performance of small SUVs, it is often a bit "stingy" due to cost factors. Nowadays, more and more configuration upgrades have also allowed new cars with less than 100,000 yuan to have richer configurations and excellent cost performance. With the 2022 GS3 POWER significantly upgraded in configuration, in many scientific and technological configurations and practical performance, it has surpassed Geely Binyue and become a "representative of the same level" with a more intelligent, more comfortable and more cost-effective performance.
The price remains unchanged, the increase is not increased, and it has become the "king of 80,000-level cost performance". Among them, the Jinshuang version adds automatic air conditioning and reversing images; the Jinsheng version adds 4-way adjustment of the main driver's electric seat, external rearview mirror heating and electric folding, 4G T-BOX Trumpchi intelligent security remote control system and HICAR all-scenario intelligent interconnection scheme and vehicle WIFI, which are more practical and intelligent; Jinzhi version adds 360 ° panoramic images to further improve driving safety. On the whole, the improvement in the configuration of the 2022 GS3 POWER is still very obvious, and it is a practical configuration that can improve the consumer car experience, and understand the needs of consumers, just right.
Of course, consumers considering this price point are actually very sensitive to configuration performance, and more practical configurations are often more easily recognized by consumers. Compared with the direct competitor Geely Binyue, the configuration performance of the 2022 GS3 POWER is better, so let's compare the Jinzhi version with the glory version of Binyue at a similar price.
It can be clearly seen from the table that the lower price of Trumpchi GS3 POWER has certain advantages in terms of safety configuration, comfort and intelligent interconnection compared with Geely Binyue. Especially in today's special period, car air purifiers are more and more valued by consumers, and the comfortable configuration of mobile phone interconnection and rear exhaust air outlet is also necessary for home users. On the whole, the new and upgraded Trumpchi GS3 POWER has shown a very good performance in the same class of models, and "increasing the amount without increasing the price" can win the favor of consumers.
Energetic province responsibility, golden power combination
In terms of power performance, GAC Trumpchi has always had a good performance. The 2022 GS3 POWER inherits the excellent power configuration of the Trumpchi family's Jin Province. Among them, the automatic version of the model is equipped with gac's third-generation 1.5TGDI high-performance four-cylinder engine, thermal efficiency of up to 36%, the maximum power of 169 horsepower, the maximum torque of 265 Nm, matched from the Aisin 6-stop hand automatic transmission, the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is 8.7 seconds, and the comprehensive fuel consumption is only 6.5 liters / 100 km, to achieve a balance between strong power and fuel economy.
Similarly, compared with Geely Binyue, the performance of the two models is similar in power parameters, but the biggest difference is that trumpchi GS3 POWER is equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder engine, while Geely Binyue is a 1.5T three-cylinder engine. Of course, at this stage for most users, the three-cylinder engine is a very tangled choice, although below 100,000 can achieve lower cost, emissions and fuel consumption performance is also better, but from the past performance and many "three-cylinder for four-cylinder" models, the three-cylinder engine is still difficult to get the full recognition of consumers, in the comparison with the four-cylinder machine, consumer choice is also more cautious, longer car cycle and the cost of later maintenance, maintenance is also very important, in this regard, The long-term performance of the three-cylinder engine is to put a big question mark.
In addition, Geely Binyue uses a dual-clutch transmission, while trumpchi GS3 POWER is a 6-speed automatic transmission, and there is no "follow-up" dual-clutch transmission that is actually more in line with the needs of most family users and more secure.
In today's market environment, young consumers have become the main force, how to gain insight into the needs of young people, has become the top priority of launching a new car. The 2022 GS3 POWER is based on customer needs to be renewed and upgraded, continuing the advantage of "Jin Province", and with the full sincerity of "increasing the allocation without increasing the price", it will bring consumers more practical and intelligent value-added choices, and become the benchmark for the domestic small SUV market.
