As the automobile consumer group becomes younger and younger, the rejuvenation of models has also become a compulsory course for major car companies, compared with joint venture car companies, independent brands have become faster and more powerful in this regard, such as GAC Trumpchi. In addition to the launch of the new sporty model of the Shadow Leopard, the "old" models such as the Trumpchi GS3 have also been optimized and upgraded for young consumers.
On April 7, the 2022 GAC Trumpchi GS3 POWER was officially launched. The new GS3 POWER launched 4 models, and the official guidance was 8.48-10.28 million yuan. The new car mainly upgrades the intelligent configuration, and its main competitor will be "domestic small steel cannons" such as Geely Binyue and MG ZS.
What's different about a new car?
The 2022 Trumpchi GS3 POWER is an annual revamp, so the appearance generally continues the style of the current model, but the more obvious highlights are: the addition of yellow exterior trim (including fender decoration and wheel rim painting) and Haoyue gray body color, looking more youthful and dynamic.
On the side of the body, the new car looks more powerful, and the chrome luggage rack on the roof and the five petal-shaped wheels below add a sporty atmosphere to a certain extent. As a small SUV, the new GS3 POWER has a length, width× height of 4350mm× 1825mm× 1660mm, and a wheelbase of 2560mm.
In the rear part, the new car adjusted to the tail marker, removing the "Trumpchi" English logo under the LOGO, and adding the word "POWER" after the "GS3" model name at the bottom right.
Entering the car, the interior of the new Trumpchi GS3 POWER has not changed much, and it is still a relatively simple design style. The "T" shaped center console is designed with a dual screen design, and the interior adopts a black and yellow color scheme to highlight the young and fashionable atmosphere. In terms of configuration, the new car is mainly aimed at upgrading the software aspect of the multimedia system, adding Huawei's HiCar smartphone interconnection and 360° panoramic image and other functions.
In terms of power, the new Trumpchi GS3 POWER is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, matched with a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed manual transmission. Among them, the low-power version has a maximum power of 163 horsepower and a peak torque of 235 N·m; the high-power version has a maximum power of 169 horsepower and a peak torque of 265 N·m.
How to choose the new Trumpchi GS3 POWER?
The guidance price of the new GS3 POWER is 8.48-10.28 million yuan, only 4 models, so it is not a hassle to choose, and the personal recommendation is the 270T automatic enjoyment version with a guidance price of 93,800 yuan.
First of all, the most entry-level model of the new GS3 POWER is the manual transmission, the other three are automatic transmission, for most people, the current manual transmission model is usually difficult to drive, so in addition to the manual transmission "love" consumers, personally think it is more convenient to open the automatic transmission model.
Among the three automatic models, compared with the old GS3 POWER, the auto-jin shuang version adds reversing image and automatic air conditioning, while the auto jinsheng version adds a remote start function, supporting roadside rescue calls, car networking, and hicar smartphone interconnection system, exterior mirrors support electric folding, heating and automatic folding of the car lock, and the main driver's seat supports electric adjustment. (Removed the main driving height adjustment function)
At the same time, the automatic jinsheng version model has more main seat electric adjustment, road rescue call system, remote start, LED fog lights than the automatic jinshuang version; the size of the tire hub has been upgraded from 17 inches to 18 inches, the LCD dashboard has also been changed to 7 inches, and the central control screen also supports Huawei's HiCar and car networking functions. More critically, the price is only 5,000 yuan more expensive, so on the whole, the 270T automatic power enjoyment version of the cost performance is the highest, so it is a good choice.
