In order to achieve sustainable development and improve core competitiveness, GAC Group released the first passenger car of GAC Trumpchi in 2010, which is a model independently developed by GAC Trumpchi, and its birth makes up for the gap of GAC Group in the automobile market and broadens the product market scope of GAC Group. From the original Trumpchi body, we can see that it uses the engine of The Alfa Romeo 166, and there are Italian models in the chassis and suspension, which can be said to be a "patchwork" model. At the 2015 North American Auto Show, GAC Trumpchi unveiled the new compact SUV Trumpchi GS4.
The original GAC Trumpchi GS4 positioning "international new SUV", a total of 8 models, the goal is ambitious, the official guidance price of 99,800 to 161,800 yuan, and increased the four-wheel drive model, want to compete with the Haval H6, although the sales are still far less than haval H6, but the sales performance of the Trumpchi GS4 is not bad, now its models on sale have all been updated to 2022 models, the official guidance price of 89,800 to 131,800 yuan, where are its highlights? Is the price-performance ratio strong? Let's take a closer look.
The overall appearance of the 2022 GAC Trumpchi GS4 is designed with young fashion as the core design, with two appearance styles, both using a large-scale intake grille, and the interior is decorated with horizontal chrome trim (smoked black diffusion decoration), the entire front face has a strong sense of refinement, and the visual effect is also relatively full, which is more in line with the aesthetics of young consumers. The headlights on both sides adopt a rectangular design, and the edges are connected by light strips, which are combined with the fog lights below, and the visual impact is strong. The lower surround is also decorated with chrome trim strips, and the entire front of the car gives a fierce visual feeling.
The shape of the side is relatively simple, and the suspended roof has a certain sense of youth and sport. The thick waistline runs from the front of the car to the rear of the car, and with the chrome decorative strips around the window, the sense of refinement is stronger. The black wheel eyebrow design has a certain sporty atmosphere, but it is not outstanding. The tail shark fin has a certain diversion effect, and more line decoration is used in the middle, which has a strong three-dimensional feeling. The flat tail light group border line is relatively sharp, giving people a strong visual impact and high recognition. The larger exhaust port trim is also wrapped in chrome strips, echoing the nose shape.
The design of the interior echoes the appearance, and the shape is more complex. The center console uses a large number of straight lines to outline, and the sense of layering is strong. Wrapped in a large number of soft materials, it is more comfortable to reach, but a large number of sugar and plastic materials do not make people feel advanced. According to different configurations, the LCD instrument cluster has three configurations of 3.5 inches, 7 inches and 12.3 inches, and the display effect is clearer and the content that can be displayed is more sufficient. On the entry-level version of the model, there is no central control screen, while the rest of the models are equipped with 10.25 inches and 12.3 inches of two sizes of the central control screen. The built-in system of the central control screen supports functions such as car Bluetooth, CarLife, Hicar, CarPlay, etc., and the central control screen of the top version of the model also supports the Internet of Vehicles and OTA upgrades, voice recognition control and other functions on this basis. Although the car machine system has more functions, in the actual experience process, the operation fluency of the entire central control screen is not high, and it can only be barely called decent.
Space performance in my opinion is definitely the biggest highlight of GAC Trumpchi GS4, the entire series of models have adopted a 2 + 3 seat layout, the height of 175 cm experiencer in the front row comfortable position, head space remaining one punch, keep the front row position unchanged to the back row, at this time the head space remains four fingers, leg space remaining two punches, enough comfortable to ride. However, although the longitudinal space performance is relatively good, the horizontal space performance is not good, and the two adults of normal body size are more comfortable in the back row, but if three adults ride at the same time, it will appear very crowded.
In terms of power, the gac Trumpchi GS4 models on sale use a 1.5T engine, the maximum power of 169 horsepower, the peak torque of 265 Nm, according to the configuration, matched with a 6-speed manual transmission, a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission and a 6-speed manual transmission. During driving, the power output is not very sensitive, but when driving at medium and high speeds, it is full of explosive power and can bring a certain confidence to the driver. There are slight setbacks in the gear shifting process, but it does not affect the driving experience, and the power performance is enough for daily home and commuting.
Written in the end: Overall, the appearance of GAC Trumpchi GS4 is atmospheric enough, the interior and configuration are decent in the same price range model, the space is enough to be called excellent, and the power performance, although the book data is not excellent, but the actual driving process performance is not bad, enough for family use, while the official announcement of 100 kilometers of comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.8 liters, fuel economy is not bad. All in all, the ability of this model in all aspects is not too outstanding, but it is not too insufficient to pull the crotch, and it is decent. Compared with the ability of GAC Trumpchi GS4, it is priced at 8.98 to 131,800 yuan, and the more civilian price makes it easier to be accepted by consumers, even if the cost performance is not very high, but it is enough to match the price.
