In the blink of an eye, now the post-90s have successively entered the year of establishment, at this time they have a stable career, may have entered the palace of marriage, and formed their own small family, but no matter what the situation, behind the inevitable more responsibilities and responsibilities. As the new generation matures, the models that have accompanied them have also completed the synchronous evolution and continue to take on new roles, just like the Trumpchi GS3 POWER we introduce today.

As an annual remodeled model, the new car is mainly adjusted for the details of the design and configuration, the whole vehicle has not changed much, let's take a closer look at the specific performance of the car.
Exterior design
The new Trumpchi GS3 POWER has not changed much in terms of design, and the whole vehicle is mainly adjusted for details. Specifically, the front face of the new car still adopts the Lingyun Wing 3.0 design style of the Trumpchi brand family, and the grille of the front face part is well integrated with the headlight groups on the left and right sides, which enhances the integrity of the design. The grille is equipped with bright yellow trim strips, which is one of the highlights of this redesign, and the new car is also equipped with a penetrating silver trim panel in the fog light area below.
In terms of body size, the specific length, width and height of the new model are 4350×1825× 1660/1685 mm, and the wheelbase is 2560 mm. The body side lines of the new model are relatively rich, the overall upward trend, the bottom wheel rim and the fenders are decorated with bright yellow, and then with the main Haoyue gray car paint, forming a clear contrast design, which looks very eye-catching.
The tail shape of the Trumpchi GS3 POWER is relatively full, and the model still retains the ducktail on the trunk and the spoiler design above the roof, which looks very delicate. In addition, the new car has been adjusted for the rear logo, the previous Trumpchi English logo has been removed, and the POWER logo has been added to the lower right to further highlight the identity of the new car.
Interior design
The overall layout and materials of the interior of the new Trumpchi GS3 POWER have not changed, mainly for the color matching upgrade, of which the black and yellow color of the car has a more sporty atmosphere, in line with the appetite of today's young people, it is worth noting that it will form a fixed match with the appearance of yellow trim, with a good internal and external echo. In addition, the new car is wrapped in a certain soft material on the center console and the inside of the door panel, and the actual touch and visual effect are relatively good. The design above the center console retains a design similar to the suspension double screen, which looks more intimidating, of which the 10.25-inch display screen is still the standard of the whole series, and the new car has also been upgraded for the Internet of Vehicles, adding Huawei's HiCar smartphone interconnection system, while supporting remote control vehicles and security anti-theft services and other functions.
Depending on the configuration, the interior seats of this model are wrapped in leather + fabric material mix and imitation leather fabrics, and the functions support the electric adjustment of the main driver's seat and the heating of the front seats. The front seats of the new car still use two-color collocation, and the overall visual effect is good, but the internal padding is hard, and the overall wrapping is more general.
The rear seats of the new car are at the same level as the front row in terms of material use and workmanship, the tilt angle between the backrest and the saddle is more appropriate, and the legroom can be maintained at more than one punch, which is a good performance for a small SUV. However, the rear of the car has a more obvious platform bulge, and the comfort will be greatly reduced.
dynamical system
The power side of the new model still matches the 1.5T turbocharged engine, and is divided into high and low power tunings, the low power version has a maximum output of 163 hp and a peak torque of 235 Nm, and the high power version has a maximum output of 169 hp and a peak torque of 265 Nm.

Uncle Che summed up
As an annual redesign, the 2022 Trumpchi GS3 POWER has been adjusted in terms of design details compared with the current model, the functional configuration has been increased, and the overall cost performance has been improved. Among the 4 configurations launched by the new car, the 2022 270T automatic power enjoyment version that belongs to the secondary top has a sufficiently comprehensive functional configuration in the case of moderate price performance, which is not a problem to meet the needs of daily cars, and the cost performance is slightly higher. From the perspective of sales, the cumulative sales data of the Trumpchi GS3 series in January and February this year is 6904 units, and the average monthly sales volume is only about 3000 units, which is considered a niche model. In recent years, the quality problems of GAC Trumpchi's models have emerged in an endless stream, and the complaint rate is high. In addition, the model faces many strong opponents in the same price point, among which Geely Binyue, Changan CS35 PLUS, etc. are not fuel-saving lamps, and it is very difficult for Trumpchi GS3 POWER to improve market performance, so Uncle Che's final opinion on the car is not recommended.
