Recently, a group of SPY photos of the GAC Trumpchi M8 have been widely circulated on the Internet. The new generation of GAC Trumpchi M8 will have two styles of front face to choose from, the new car may be officially launched in the fourth quarter of this year, its internal code name is "A88", the new car will be equipped with the THS hybrid system developed in cooperation with Toyota.
As can be seen from the exposure spy photos, the new Trumpchi M8 will provide two front face designs, one of which is a six-banner horizontal grille version, similar to the borderless design, making the front face more layered and more refined. The other front face design uses a straight waterfall longitudinal grille version, which is very imposing.
This is not the first time that the Trumpchi M8 has adopted such a design, and the current GAC Trumpchi M8 has two different front faces. The corresponding models are the Lingxiu series models and the master series models. Not surprisingly, the new Trumpchi M8 may continue to use this naming method!
However, unlike the current model, the new GAC Trumpchi M8 is expected to use the THS hybrid system developed in cooperation with Toyota, and the powertrain is likely to be basically the same as the GAC Trumpchi GS8 that has just been launched. In addition, the two front face designs are expected to be the same as the GAC Trumpchi GS8, which is also used to distinguish between fuel version models and hybrid models!
When the GAC Trumpchi M8 was just launched, there were not many domestic MPV models, and the GAC Trumpchi M8 attracted the attention of many consumers as soon as it was listed with its atmospheric appearance, comfortable and spacious riding space and high cost performance. And for a long time, it has been at the top of the sales list of its own brand MPV and even all MPV models. But due to the huge body and the 2.0T pure fuel engine, the fuel economy of this car is not very good, which is also one of its few disadvantages. If the new car uses a hybrid system, then its fuel economy can be greatly improved!
In addition, the spy photo also exposed the interior design of trumpchi M8, in terms of interior, the new car adopts a relatively young steering wheel, the two ends use three-dimensional air conditioning outlets, there is a reclining central control screen in the middle, and the co-pilot side also has a screen design. The new car uses a "chicken leg style" electronic gear lever, the overall interior looks much younger than the current model, and the choice of two-color panel layout is also available.
This design language is basically the same as the design on the current Trumpchi GS8, but the M8's LCD dashboard area is larger and the co-pilot side screen is added. This is still a good performance in terms of practicality for an MPV model, after all, the co-driver of this car will be ridden most of the time!
Although trumpchi M8 has only been listed for more than four years, in recent years, many domestic manufacturers have also targeted the MPV market and have launched their luxury domestic MPV models, which makes Trumpchi M8 face no small challenge. Choosing to make a facelift at this time may be the most suitable choice for gaga Trumpchi M8. At the same time, in today's increasingly accelerated pace of electrification, power and fuel economy have become no longer contradictory, and Trumpchi chose to cooperate with Toyota to use THS as a FORM of HEV hybrid instead of PHEV hybrid, which is also a different approach!
Automotive network review: The Trumpchi M8, which uses THS hybrid technology, is not only better in texture but also more competitive.
One of the advantages of trumpchi M8 is its superior driving and riding texture, after using THS hybrid technology, I believe its texture will be further improved! At the same time, even if it can't get a "green card", in a city like Guangzhou, it should be able to use the "energy-saving card" indicator like GS8, which is also very attractive to many people.
Of course, as a technology that GAC Trumpchi is proud of, the editor believes that Julang power will not be abandoned, and the 2.0T fuel engine will still be used in GAC Trumpchi M8! The design of the dual front face also makes it easy to distinguish between two models with different power systems, and the two different power systems allow the M8 to occupy more markets!
