In the last long test content, I introduced the reasons for choosing the second generation GS8 (the car that finally chooses the cost-effective car in my mind), after a period of driving, I found that trumpchi's second-generation GS8 is better in some daily use details.
First of all, about the daily driving section, the GS8 is more satisfied with the convenience of function use and driving comfort.
During this time, I tried long-distance driving, sitting in the seat for more than 3 hours continuously, and I was satisfied with the comfort of this seat, mainly for three reasons.
The first aspect is the material of the seat itself, the skin-friendly leather package will not have a sticky feeling on the body, and the softness and hardness of the filling are also exquisite, whether it is a cushion, a backrest, or a flank have a better toughness, the body has a more obvious sense of wrapping after sitting down, and the support is also better.
The second aspect is that the seat supports 10-way adjustment, especially the addition of cushion length adjustment and waist support adjustment, which is better for waist and legs, and can effectively reduce the fatigue of long-term riding.
The third aspect is that the height of the hand pillows on both sides is just right, which allows the hands to bend naturally and reduce the fatigue of driving for a long time and holding the steering wheel.
In addition to the seats themselves, the second-generation GS8 is also equipped with ventilated heating of the front seats, which can have a better riding environment in the face of hot summers or cold winters.
Next is the aspect of driving configuration.
My GS8 has an equivalent 30-inch AR-HUD head-up display function, which can display navigation, car distance, current speed, speed limit information, etc. After opening the adaptive cruise function, there is a green aperture prompt to the distance from the front car, and there will be corresponding prompts after the lane deviation, the overall effect is relatively clear, the response is also very fast, it can be said that it is a more prominent model in the current price model.
Speaking of adaptive cruise, the second generation GS8 has two sets of cruise assistance modes, adaptive cruise is only responsible for adaptive follow-up, while integrated cruise is able to adapt to the cruise speed according to road signs, lane remain centered, congestion and so on.
No matter which kind of car mode is used, you only need to press the cruise button on the steering wheel to open it, just need to adjust the distance with the car, the actual use of it, the sensitivity of lane recognition is very high, and the low-speed car can also be controlled at a relatively close distance to avoid being cut in line.
Of course, such a large car, the light is not enough to open, parking is also difficult, fortunately it is equipped with 540 ° panoramic image, the clarity of the entire picture is higher, the panorama of the flattening is also relatively excellent, close to the obstacle when there is a distance prompt, parking is relatively convenient.
Regarding the intelligent configuration of the vehicle, I would also like to share with you the experience of using it.
I think I am the same as most people's car habits, the setting function will be directly through the touch control, the position of the second generation GS8 this central control screen is very reasonable, the body does not need to move a lot to operate, I also invited several colleagues of different heights to experience, in the driving sitting posture adjusted to comfortable can easily operate the screen.
There are rumors on the Internet that the second-generation GS8 car machine has a black screen of death, but in my more than 20 days of use, no similar situation has occurred.
The speed of the car machine is not very fast, from the start to the full entry into the system takes about 10s, the priority of the panoramic image is higher, if you are in a hurry to reverse, the car machine is not fully started can also display the reverse image.
The functions of the whole set of car machines are very rich, the current popular Interconnection functions on the market are equipped, but as far as I am concerned, I feel that the fluency is not very good, and it may also be related to my usual use of Apple mobile phones, click to open the program needs to wait for about 1s, but fortunately does not affect the use.
Of course, sometimes there are too many functions, can not find the corresponding control switch at once, this time you can use voice control, most of the functions of the vehicle can use voice to achieve the switch, such as panoramic image, HUD, rearview mirror heating, etc., high recognition accuracy, and fast response.
In addition to the function of controlling the vehicle, the most used functions of my voice are navigation and music, which are more dependent on the Internet, and at present, in my use process, even if I enter the basement, there has been no signal.
The intelligent perception system on the second generation GS8 is still very easy to use, after the navigation is turned on, you only need to wave your hand to switch the navigation information to the dashboard, and the use of HUD can avoid missing the fork.
In terms of ride space and comfort, the second-generation GS8 also did not disappoint me.
First of all, in terms of space, even if the second row is the backest, the passengers in the third row can still take passengers with a height of 165mm, and the passengers in the second row of passengers who are 180mm tall still have more than 2 fists of leg space, so if you want the third row of passengers to be more comfortable, you can move the second row seats slightly forward.
The largest front and rear movement distance of the second row of seats is 140mm, and the backrest can be reclined at a large angle, so that in the case of a five-seat model car, the rear row has a very large space.
Usually families who choose a seven-seater car have children, and this external child safety seat interface is very convenient, and it can be used directly on the buckle.
Entering and exiting the third row of space is also very good, the top of the seat on the right side has a button to put the seat down, and when pressed, the seat will automatically move forward and fall down. At this time, the aisles left out are relatively wide, and it will not be particularly difficult to get in and out.
Although the comfort of the third row is not as good as the MPV of the same size, it can also be regarded as meeting the short-distance travel, mainly because the cushion has an inclination angle, which can make the sitting posture stretch a little.
Secondly, the third row of seats has electric stepless adjustment (exclusive to the dual engine version), and the range of adjustment is relatively large, which further increases the comfort.
Most seven-seat SUVs will not have large third-row windows in order to ensure aesthetic beauty, but the second-generation GS8 is equipped with a sizable size window so that rear passengers will not feel depressed.
Long test summary
More than 20 days have passed since the pick-up, and the second-generation GS8 meets my needs well, both in terms of driving level and ride comfort. After the above display, it can also be seen that the second generation of GS8 not only simply increased the body size, but also carefully designed many details of use.
As of the time of writing, a total of 2 times of fuel, a total mileage of 934km, refueling volume of 78L, average fuel consumption of 8.35L/100km, to 8.57 yuan / L oil price to calculate, an average of 1 km 0.73 yuan, considering that the current state of the new car, and mainly in the city congestion driving, so the fuel consumption may be a little high, follow-up I will continue to follow up its fuel consumption performance.
