At present, there is no shortage of strong and outstanding sales players in the domestic MPV market, such as Buick GL8, Honda Odyssey, etc. If you think about it carefully, this model field seems to have always been the world of joint venture models. However, with the gradual improvement of the model layout of independent brands in recent years, there are also a number of models in the MPV field that can be frontally PK with joint venture brands, and the most representative of them is the GAC Trumpchi M8.
As a brand that started with light passengers, SAIC Maxus MAXUS began to exert its MPV market after a short period of confusion in the small passenger car market, and launched MPV models such as MAXUS series G10 and G50 in the past two years, but there seems to be no model in the domestic high-end MPV market that can really go like Trumpchi M8. Under such a premise, saic motor MAXUS G90, which shoulders the heavy responsibility of brand upwards, has come. So does it have the strength to shake the Trumpchi M8? Let's compare.
01
Whose seats are more comfortable and more spacious?
In fact, most people buy MPV, in addition to valuing its large space, but also care about the comfort of the interior seats. Like how the seat softness performs, whether the rear seats are rich in functions, the height of the platform on and off the car is not high, and so on. These are the focus of attention for home users.
Both cars use the traditional MPV seat layout of 2+2+3, but the Chase MAXUS G90 has advantages in terms of length, width and height, and the long wheelbase of 3200mm is considered to be the middle and upper level of the same class. But for MPV models, seat softness, the richness of comfort and detailing all affect the ride experience.
In terms of actual riding space, due to the inability to unify factors such as the height and weight of the experiencer, the following effect is for reference only.
1. SAIC Maxus MAXUS G90 seat comfort & ride performance:
The large space is definitely one of the selling points of the Chase G90, with a long wheelbase of 3200mm above the statistical level. The seat is covered in leather material, and the functions cover electrical adjustment, ventilation and heating, main driver position memory, front row massage and other functions. In addition, there are many designs around the main car that enhance convenience and comfort, such as easy-to-grip door handles and double-sided sliding door switches on the roof.
It is worth mentioning that the camera of the driver's seat A pillar is DMS main driver biometrics, which can remember the identity information of multiple drivers: when the driver enters the car, after the face recognition is successful, the central control screen will be adjusted to the owner's one ID, favorite songs, frequent addresses, coincidentally appear; the OMS passenger area biometric system next to the two-row VIP seat can identify each VIP on the car without feeling, automatically synchronize personalized settings, with the assistance of the OMS system, even if the second row of passengers change positions, Familiar scenes and personality settings will be "like shadows".
The most prestigious second row of seats with integrated seat belts and fixed armrests, there is also an exclusive entertainment system JBL audio with the car connection system, a 220V power interface for independent air conditioning, etc., and the cup holders, USB interfaces and folding table boards are hidden in the armrests on both sides, of course, if you can add a sunshade, the privacy is better.
The second row of the new car is equipped with the industry's first independent intelligent network system in the rear, and users can enjoy VIP exclusive functions such as vehicle control, audio and video information, video conferencing through the second row of high-definition touch-type seat back screens, and can also control multiple options such as air conditioning, lighting, mood lights, and sunroofs. The VIP seat's back screen also integrates a one-button linkage scene mode, which can quickly find a scene mode suitable for you without having to adjust yourself.
It is worth mentioning that the spider zhilian equipped with the new car breaks the barrier between seats and seats, screens and screens, and realizes the linkage of ten screens in the whole car: the front row can share the network conference with one key to the back row; the second row can set up navigation on the chair back screen and push it to the central control screen.
The third row of seat cushions is long enough, and the cushions are relatively thick, and the short-term ride comfort is still good. And the seats support proportional reclining, and after the third row of seats is receded, large items are placed without pressure.

Who looks better?
In terms of appearance, the Maxus G90 adopts a new design concept, the exaggerated air intake grille of the front face, with a new headlight group structure, and under the background of the internal "V" type chrome decorative strip, it is very visually impactful.
The appearance of Trumpchi GM8 continues the same two design schemes as the old model, including a total of seven models in the two product branches of the Lingxiu edition and the master edition, the two model versions have great differences in appearance design, of which the master version, as a high match in the car series, has a stronger aura and visual impact, attracting a group of "face value control" believes that it is not a problem.
SAIC Maxus G90 inherits the national tide design concept that SAIC Maxus has been proud of over the years, and has more personality; while the trumpchi M8 ordinary version still gives people the feeling of being more inclined to business use, the master version design looks more local and domineering, and there is a more luxurious four-car version to meet the needs of different consumers. Overall, the two cars are considered to be more resistant players in the subdivision field, which can be said to be IKEA and suitable for business. But as for which one looks better, it is a matter of opinion.
03
Whose cockpit is smarter?
The entire center console of the Maxus G90 is not only simple in shape, but also covered with a large area of soft material fabric, which further improves the sense of grade in the car. The triple screen through the center console is the highlight, creating a good atmosphere of science and technology.
The interior of the Trumpchi M8 has changed a lot compared to the past, without a large number of cumbersome physical buttons, replaced by a small number of piano keys and piano bright black panels, while adding storage compartments. In addition, the mechanical instrument cluster was changed to a full LCD dashboard, and the UI and fluency of the central control screen interface were significantly improved compared with the old models.
The interior of the two cars is quite interesting, but in terms of intelligence, the design of the Chase G90 triple screen is indeed eye-catching, and the degree of intelligence of the entire carriage is more worthy of recognition than the Trumpchi M8.
04
Who has more configurations?
Whether you want to buy a family dad car or an official car, the configuration will be the place where consumers consider. Below, we have selected two models with similar prices for comparison.
As can be seen from the above table, the intelligent driving assistance configuration of the Chase G90 in the two models with similar prices will be more abundant, more than the Trumpchi M8 parallel assist, lane departure warning system, lane keeping assistance system and other functions; while the Trumpchi M8 has more negative ion generators, remote control lifting windows, automatic locking and other functions than the Chase G90.

Power comparison/ride performance
Powerly, the Maxus G90 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged four-cylinder engine + 48V light hybrid system, the maximum power is 234 horsepower, the maximum torque is 390N·m, and the transmission system will match the Aisin 8-speed automatic transmission, and the acceleration time of 0-100km/h is only 9.6 seconds.
The Trumpchi M8 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine independently developed by GAC Trumpchi, with a maximum power of 185 kW (252PS) and a peak torque of 390N·m, matching Aisin's 8AT gearbox.
Since we have not yet test-driven the Maxus MAXUS G90, the following is the driving performance of the Trumpchi M8:
Although the Trumpchi M8 engine has excellent book results, it will not have any "grumpiness" in actual driving, and it should be known that this is an MPV, and the most important person sitting inside is the most important person. When starting, lightly press the throttle, the power response is timely, and the overall acceleration is soft. In addition, driving on stop-and-go urban roads, even if your feet keep switching between the accelerator and the brake pedal, its power output can keep up with the rhythm. After continuous acceleration, the engine output is not weak performance, and the power reserve is abundant. Even if you make an overtaking motion on the highway, its acceleration is still rapid, giving people a sense of confidence.
Compared with the previous generation of models, Trumpchi M8 the sport mode is not so deliberately displayed, in the D block and then pull down the electronic gear to switch to the sport mode, at this time the power output is strong, the sensitivity of the accelerator pedal has become higher, it can be said that the time to step on the accelerator pedal to accelerate the vehicle This process time has been reduced a lot. Pressing the ECO mode button is the most economical driving mode to start, the vehicle power output will become lazy a lot, the transmission will press the engine speed lower; pressing the ECO mode again, will switch to NORM mode, the power output is much more active than the ECO mode.
The 8AT gearbox has a larger number of gears and a denser gear ratio, and will rise one gear around 1500 rpm during daily cruising, which promotes fuel economy. In addition, it has a fast shift action, a gentle and imperceptible shift process, and the power smoothness will be better. Even when you're done accelerating (deep throttle), the transmission immediately upshifts to maintain the most economical driving gear at the current rpm.
The Trumpchi M8 can adjust the steering force through the central control screen. However, there will not be much of a difference between the two. In the standard mode, the steering force is gentle and does not change with the speed. This adjustment will make it easier for most users to face such a large MPV.
Chassis tuning is based on the pursuit of comfort, for the slight bumps and vibrations from the road can be isolated, even if it is a shock absorber belt with a large impact, it will not bring a "subtraction" effect to the riding comfort in the car. However, if it is a continuous speed reduction belt, the spring shock absorber processing may not keep up with the rhythm. In addition, factors such as high center of gravity and soft suspension, Trumpchi M8 in the fast cornering or high-speed lane change, the body tilt is more obvious, but the people who buy this car generally will not drive it to split.
Trumpchi M8 can be isolated from the noise of the outside world, and at a speed of more than 100km/h, it will begin to feel a slight wind noise sound, and when it accelerates sharply, the noise of the engine will also be transmitted to the inside of the car.
