Additional equipment without price increase Be the first to test drive the GAC Trumpchi 2024 GS8
Easy car original mentioned GAC Trumpchi's second-generation GS8, my feelings for it are still quite deep, when it was first launched, I did a long test of it for up to 2 months, and I still remember the performance in all aspects, unconsciously 2 years have passed, the 2024 Trumpchi GS8 is coming, what has changed it?
The styling remains unchanged, the model is streamlined, and the configuration is upgraded
The 2024 Trumpchi GS8 has been launched, priced at 18.68-246,800 yuan, retaining the best-selling version according to different power systems, while decentralizing some configurations that were once high-end, although there are fewer choices, but they are the most practical versions!
Dual engine series
Pilot series
The new car still adopts the dual-shape front face shape of the dragon scale wing (dual engine version) and the zhan wei wing (pilot version). The length, width and height of the new car remain unchanged, still 5015 (4980) ×1950×1780mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2920mm. The only small change is that the Dual Engine series adopts an exclusive logo in front and rear blue, which distinguishes it from the Pilot series.
In terms of interior, the new Xinglu Valley Yu (brown) interior color, decorated with suede, has a better texture and a good sense of grade.
In addition, the new car is equipped with 8155 chip and steering wheel heating function as standard, which has been improved in intelligence and comfort, and dual-engine series users can also choose Alpine brand audio to enhance the listening experience according to their own needs.
What changes does the Snapdragon 8155 Plus hold?
The first and most obvious change is that after the vehicle starts, the boot speed of the car machine is faster, basically 3S can enter the desktop, and the operation has been significantly improved in terms of response speed and fluency.
Along with this, the opening speed of the application and the execution speed of voice commands have also improved, and now it can basically be called and opened on demand.
Secondly, the switching between dashboard themes is faster, and the smoothness and responsiveness of animations is better, whether it is in the map interface or the cruise interface when entering driving assistance.
Driving feeling: smooth, powerful, quiet, fuel efficient
I test-drove the 2.0T dual-engine version, and with the blessing of the e-FOUR electric all-wheel drive system, the comprehensive power has exceeded 180kW and the comprehensive torque has exceeded 400Nm.
With the assistance of the motor, the second-generation GS8 relies on pure electric four-wheel drive in the low-speed stage, and the acceleration is very fast, but it will not bring an uncomfortable push back feeling, and the whole acceleration process is smooth and linear. After the speed came up, the engine began to intervene, and the whole intervention process did not frustrate.
This test drive I also found a feature of the second generation GS8 dual-engine version, that is, when turning, the rear motor will intervene to improve the cornering stability of the whole vehicle, and the recent time coincides with the typhoon in South China, driving in the heavy rain, the four-wheel drive system will also intervene to improve driving stability, the most intuitive feeling is that the vehicle's tracking is better, and it is not easy to drift when encountering slippery roads.
The second-generation Trumpchi GS8 Hybrid uses double-layer soundproof glass on the front windows to further enhance the vehicle's quietness while driving. Cruising at 80km/h, except for slight road noise, the interior of the car can almost be described as quiet. After the speed reaches 100km/h, the tire noise will be more obvious at this time, there is slight wind noise, and the engine is basically silent. Engine noise will only enter the car at more than 4000 rpm, and it is a relatively low sound, which will not bring displeasure to the ride in the car.
Finally, everyone cares about fuel consumption, I drove the second generation GS8 this time with my family out of the far door, the round trip of 600km, only added 300 yuan of fuel, although not very rigorous, but also in line with everyone's usual car scene, converted down to a kilometer is 5 cents, for such a large 6-seater car, I think it is quite powerful.
Editorial Reviews
In my consistent cognition, Trumpchi GS8 is a very suitable 7-seat SUV for families, with smooth power, large enough space, no endurance anxiety, and low cost in the later stage, but helplessly in the current market, oil hybrid vehicles have no policy support, landing also has to pay purchase tax, so that the landing price is catching up with the price of plug-in hybrid models.
However, after the 2024 model is new, there is no need to spend a lot of money to buy high configuration, now a power is a configuration, pick the right power for yourself, the configuration is also enough, of course, in the limited purchase area, friends who like the second generation GS8 can also wait, and the ES9 that will be mixed will come soon.
