Among them, the front face shape of the new model is very aggressive, and the elements such as the large hexagonal net, the sharp headlight group and the fang-like daytime running lights create a very fierce image, so the visual impact is also strengthened.

In terms of body size, the specific length, width and height of this model are 4710×1885× 1726 mm, and the wheelbase is 2710 mm. The body side design of this model is more regular, lacking eye-catching elements, and the overall shape is basically the same as the current Trumpchi GS5, but the silver and black two-color wheels equipped at the bottom are quite good.

The tail design of the Trumpchi GS4 PLUS is similar to that of the regular version, but the overall shape is fuller and more complex line outlines are used, which enhances the three-dimensional and layered sense of the rear.

In addition, the three-panel steering wheel directly in front of the main driver of this model adopts a flat bottom shape, with a bright back-positive mark above, which looks like a certain sporty atmosphere, and the leather fabric used for wrapping on the steering wheel surface has a good touch, the disc body size is moderate, and the grip is full.

The interior seats of the new models are wrapped in imitation leather fabrics and functionally support the electric adjustment of the main driver's seat. The front seats in the new car are more conventional, in line with the positioning of its home SUV, thanks to the softness of the fabric and padding, the seat comfort is guaranteed.

The rear seats of the new car are of the same level as the front row in terms of material use and workmanship, the recline angle between the rear backrest and the saddle is more appropriate, and the central platform does not take up much space, but the central armrest in the rear is somewhat top waist, and it may feel slightly tired for a long time.
