For salarymen, if they want to buy a model suitable for their families, they don't need to pursue high-end and luxury too much, but safety, reliability, and comfort are aspects to consider. The car I test-drove today is more suitable for young consumers with a budget of about 100,000 yuan, a new member of the Trumpchi GS4 family - GS4 MAX.
As an all-new model, the car adopts the latest family design, but it always looks like there is a sense of déjà vu. The thick and full shape makes the new car look more atmospheric, the front face of the "big mouth" trapezoidal blackened grille, at the bottom of the bumper there is a through grille and metal trim decoration, so that the new car sports atmosphere is more outstanding. The headlight clusters on both sides are very sharp, and according to official information, the maximum illumination distance can reach 150 meters. In addition, the new car provides four body colors for consumers to choose from: Starry Night Black, Haoyue Gray, Super Star Silver, and Snow White
On the side, the curved waistline design shows a nice muscular feel, and the design of hidden door handles and 18/19-inch aluminum alloy two-tone rims further enhance the sporty character. From the rear, the sharp taillight shape, and equipped with a hollow rear wing and two-tone rear surround, looks more youthful and sporty. In terms of dimensions, the GS4 MAX measures 4,685/1,901/1,690 mm in length, width and height, and has a wheelbase of 2,750 mm.
Inside, the overall layout is minimalist and offers two interior color schemes: Early Morning Milk Coffee and Maroon Walnut. Among them, the suspended full LCD instrument panel and the 14.6-inch central control screen have become the highlights, the three-spoke steering wheel design is consistent with the Yingku, the function of the sub-instrument panel area is clear, and the gear lever is novel and chic, taking into account practicality and convenience.
In terms of intelligent configuration, the GS4 MAX is equipped with 8 L2 driver assistance functions as standard, covering advanced technologies such as AEB automatic emergency braking, FCW front collision warning, ACC adaptive cruise control, and LKA lane keeping assist. At the same time, the ADIGO SPACE intelligent cockpit integrates intelligent AI voice control, social entertainment ecology, DTS CS-AUTO sound effects, GAC Rubik's Cube and other functions
The seat is wrapped in exclusive research and development leather material, the main driver supports 6-way electric adjustment, and has the front heating function, the rear seat can adjust the backrest angle and can achieve 180 degrees of flat reclining, and the second becomes a 2-meter bed, which can expand the trunk to a volume of 1586L, with a maximum depth of 2 meters and a width of 1.05 meters, which can better meet the diversified needs of families for space, and the whole system is equipped with a panoramic canopy as standard.
Of course, as a family car, safety is always the top priority, Trumpchi GS4 MAX has 8 airbags/air curtains, side air curtains can achieve 6 seconds of pressure, and rear side airbags are also provided, which also bring comprehensive protection to the head, side waist and hips to rear passengers. At the same time, the electronic child lock is integrated on the main driver's door panel, which can be said to be very well considered for safety configuration.
In terms of power, the Trumpchi GS4 MAX is equipped with a third-generation Julang Power 1.5T engine with a maximum power of 130kW and a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. It can be felt very clearly in driving, whether it is starting or driving, the frustration of shifting gears is very weak and almost imperceptible. Although the power performance is decent, it is suitable for everyday household use.
In terms of chassis, Trumpchi GS4 MAX adopts the front MacPherson and rear multi-link independent suspension, and the overall driving texture still maintains the consistent style of Trumpchi. In addition, the driving experience of sports mode and energy-saving mode, although the weight feedback of the steering wheel is not very obvious, but the adjustment of the throttle and power is obviously more aggressive, but the roll is more obvious when changing lanes or steering, of course, this is also a feature of SUV models, from the overall driving experience, Trumpchi GS4 MAX still performs well, and there is no problem at home.
In general, in this level, Trumpchi GS4 MAX is still very cost-effective, first of all, it is very good in terms of safety, with a price of about 100,000, whether it is active safety or passive safety, it is very complete. In addition, it is like large space and low fuel consumption, which can be said to be aimed at the daily travel needs of contemporary rational family groups, coupled with a more dynamic and atmospheric new shape, I think that after the listing, it will be able to attract more consumers' attention to it and become a benchmark for ordinary families to buy cars.
