The car we are talking about today is the GAC Trumpchi GA8. As a C-class commercial vehicle under the GAC Group, GAC Trumpchi GA8's sales performance is increasingly dismal, with 949 units sold last year, and now only 38 units have been sold in the first quarter of 2022, which has fallen to the bottom of the C-class car sales list. Only 140,000 sold but no one recognizes the goods, with double wishbones + 2.0T as standard, comparable to the A6's most invisible C-class car!
Looking at the exterior design, this Trumpchi GA8 is a sporty route, the whole vehicle also has a little sense of business, the front of the car uses the Trumpchi family-style front face design, although we are more familiar with Trumpchi's MPV and SUV models, but the overall design is still relatively similar, the large mouth intake net and the two sides of the eagle eye shape of the headlights have been integrated. The lighting configuration part is equipped with matrix LED near and far light headlights. In the air movement surrounding part, equipped with an L-shaped chrome trim, the overall design is full of a good sense of refinement.
From the side point of view, the length, width and height of this car are 5003/1868/1505mm, and the wheelbase is 2900mm. The side shape shows a slender design style, and the line arrangement is smooth and looks very beautiful. The front and rear tires are 235/45 R18 in size and feature a multi-strip radiant rim design.
Entering the car, the overall shape of the interior of Trumpchi GA8 is very youthful, with the embellishment of silver trim, visually quite fashionable and sporty. At the same time, the car is also equipped with an in-car air purifier, CarLife, GPS navigation system, etc., which is quite good in terms of configuration, and to a certain extent, it improves the convenience of the driver.
In terms of engine, the current mainstream displacement of large and medium-sized cars is basically 2.0T, Trumpchi GA8 is no exception, its maximum power is 252 horsepower, peak torque is 390 Nm, matching 6AT gearbox, can well ensure the power performance of Trumpchi GA8, noise control is also very good, the interior of the cabin feels very quiet.
The positioning of Trumpchi GA8 is very high, and the sales volume of Chinese brands positioned at this level will certainly not be very high, and it is more as a flagship to show the strength of Trumpchi. However, since it is a flagship, Trumpchi GA8 must also come up with real skills, and the quality of this car is really good. And its price is very close to the people, in the bones of this car has the potential to become a volume car.
