Even the exhibition cars of the 4S store have become "sought-after goods", which is the current inventory status of GAC Trumpchi.
According to a dealer around Cha Ge, at present, GAC Trumpchi's star models are quite hot, of which the Trumpchi M8 with orders in March alone exceeded 6,000 units, which is "in short supply", and even many consumers want to buy exhibition cars directly, so that the trumpchi 4S stores across the country do not have many M8 exhibition cars.
As we all know, buying the exhibition car of the 4S store is the "next policy" in the purchase of the car, and the Trumpchi M8 has become a "hot commodity" even the exhibition car, which shows the high trust of the people in the quality of Trumpchi. Of course, it is also because trumpchi M8 products are strong enough that the people are willing to pay for it.
How "sought-after" is trumpchi car? Tell you with data!
Want to know whether "the exhibition car becomes a 'sought-after goods'" is a gimmick, look at the sales of GAC Trumpchi this year, after all, there is a rumor in the circle: it is not unreasonable to see the sales volume and buy a car package.
In the first quarter of this year, GAC Trumpchi welcomed the opening, with cumulative sales of 90,448 vehicles, an increase of 21.8% year-on-year, achieving double growth in wholesale and terminals in the first quarter of the whole series, and the sales growth rate outperformed the market.
Among them, as the "bellwether" of domestic MPV, Trumpchi M8, the cumulative sales in the first quarter exceeded 10,000, continuing to stabilize the head position of the Luxury MPV camp of Chinese brands; Trumpchi flagship SUV representative model, the new second-generation GS8, monthly sales of 4119 vehicles, the first quarter of the cumulative sales exceeded 10,000, achieving super growth year-on-year.
At the same time, Cha Ge also learned from local dealers in Guangzhou that in addition to the Trumpchi M8 exhibition car has become a "hot commodity", only less than 40% of the dealerships nationwide have new second-generation GS8 exhibition cars, and only 57% of the stores of Shadow Leopard have exhibition cars.
Brother Cha also learned that in the face of this phenomenon, in order to alleviate the shortage of exhibition cars, but also to improve customer experience, Trumpchi has made normative adjustments, which means that "it can be sold, but it must wait until the new exhibition car arrives before it can be delivered."
However, this also reflects from the side that in the case of extremely tight supply chain and an average waiting time of about 2.5 months, GAC Trumpchi is still the most real feedback welcomed by the market. It can be seen that in the case of the global chip shortage and the decline in automobile production efficiency, Trumpchi's "exhibition car into a 'sought-after'" is not a marketing gimmick, but the most real status quo of Trumpchi.
Fully forced hybridization, what has Trumpchi done?
Since its inception, GAC Trumpchi has always been a "regular customer" of hot topics in the industry, and every action has attracted much attention.
After clarifying the dual-core drive strategy of "intelligent + hybridization" last year, GAC Trumpchi fired the first shot of Trumpchi's comprehensive hybridization with the new second-generation GS8 dual engine series.
The new second-generation GS8 dual engine series, equipped with GAC 2.0TM + Toyota with THS hybrid system, zero hundred acceleration of 6.9 seconds, the maximum power of 140kW, the maximum torque of 320N·m, the highest thermal efficiency of 40.23%, a tank of oil can run up to more than 2000 kilometers, while leading the same level, it can still achieve low fuel consumption and strong power. And at present, the car hybrid version of the 1-3 months of orders has accounted for more than 50%, the first quarter ranked first in the Chinese brand 200,000-level hybrid SUV sales. Fortunately, nearly 98% of the existing new second-generation GS8 show cars are dual-engine series, which can satisfy everyone's curiosity about Trumpchi hybrid models to a certain extent.
This year, GAC Trumpchi will launch hybrid models of Shadow Leopard, EMKOO and M8, and plans to continue to launch more than 7 hybrid models in 2025 to achieve the hybridization of the whole series. At present, the EMKOO concept car has been officially disclosed, and I believe it is not far from the official debut.
In addition, Cha Ge also learned that the new hybrid model of the Trumpchi M8 will be equipped with a hybrid system composed of GAC 2.0TM engines, which is reported to be consistent with the new second-generation GS8 dual engine series currently on sale. If that's the case, it's expected that the M8 Hybrid version will also have pretty good fuel economy. After all, this hybrid system, in the new second-generation GS8 dual engine series, the fuel consumption under the WLTC standard is as low as 5.93L/100km, and the fuel consumption under the NEDC standard is only 5.31L/100km, which can be said to be the efficient fuel saving.
From the action that a number of star models under GAC Trumpchi will successively launch hybrid versions, it is not difficult to see that GAC Trumpchi is fully engaged in the field of hybridization, striving to create the strongest hybrid matrix in China and becoming the "leader" of China's hybrid. Perhaps, this will be a small microcosm of the development of GAC Trumpchi's future models. In short, let's look forward to what kind of new experience of hybrid life Trumpchi will bring us!
