The influence of GL8 in the domestic MPV category is no less than Santana's status in the hearts of the Chinese people, and the impression that "GL8 is MPV, MPV is GL8" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Since the launch of the first generation GL8 in 1999, its sales have continued to dominate the MPV category for more than 20 years, but the rise of new energy vehicles in the past two years has made GL8 no longer maintain a leading edge, in order to regain the market position of the GL8 family, today this GL8 Luzun PEHV came into being.
Refrigerators, color TVs, large sofas, fuel saving, intelligent cockpits, intelligent driving, external discharge. The labels that these new energy vehicles have are all available on this GL8 Luzun PHEV this time.
As a plug-in hybrid, the new car has a CLTC pure electric range of 138km, a comprehensive range of 1370km, and a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 7.8s. A 24 kWh power battery is laid under the B-pillar and supports fast and slow charging, with a nominal fuel consumption of 5.97 L/100 km. Compared with the 23 ES Luzun, the ES Luzun PHEV has undergone major changes, the exterior and interior design have been completely replaced with the same language of the century, the seat comfort of the whole car has been optimized, and the power system has been replaced with a series-parallel hybrid system with P1+P3 layout, and all of them are Avia versions, which can be regarded as a PHEV facelift model of the ES Luzun branch in the GL8 family, and the official list is a replacement model. No matter how you classify it, we can see how much this car has changed compared to the current model.
【· Exterior design ·】
It's not clear all the colors offered by the new car, but the blue paint of the actual model has a matte feel under soft light, which looks particularly textured, and this blue should also be the main color of the new car.
The body size of the GL8 Luzun PHEV is 5219×1878×1807mm, and the wheelbase is 3088mm, which is only 8mm higher than the current ES Luzun, which is not much for the model with the power battery.
On this PHEV version, we can see a huge three-way catalytic converter, and the exhaust has been changed to a two-way two-out form, probably for symmetry, and the left exhaust is specially connected. In addition, in order to allow the power battery to be released, the exhaust is detoured from the right side of the underbody. On this PHEV model, the spare wheel is eliminated due to the more compact chassis layout.

The operation of the central control screen correspondingly belongs to the category of smoothness, it will not appear Caton, but compared with the "silky" car machine system on the market, its response is slightly lacking, and the speed response is similar to that of the ideal Xiaopeng a few years ago820A.
For example, when the instrument interface displays a map or the central control interface displays the CarPlay homepage, the color superposition in the middle is angular and angular, which can be used to blur the transition with translucency like Zhiji's screen, and the aesthetics will be greatly improved.
The second-row seats of the GL8 Luzun PHEV have been updated in terms of frame, materials, and functions. The fabric is made of Nappa leather, and the frame reduces the shake caused by seat vibration through the damper, and avoids the seat resonance frequency from the human body, minimizing the feeling of motion sickness. The seat backrest and human body fit are improved, and the SurFlex slow-rebound foam layer is used to give people a softer experience and less fatigue after a long ride on the premise of ensuring support.
In terms of function, the second-row seats have six-way aviation headrests, four-way lumbar supports, electric leg rests, three-speed heating/ventilation, eight-point massage and other functions.
However, the front and rear adjustment mechanism of the second row of seats is equipped with a button similar to unlocking, and pressing the button needs to be manually moved back and forth, although this semi-automatic adjustment method is ingenious, but some lose the texture of this high-end MPV.
The forward and backward movement of the third row is manually adjusted, and the seat backs are electrically adjustable, which also supports heating and ventilation functions, and does not provide a massage function.
On the seven-seater version, the third row of seat backrests are electrically adjusted and folded function, and the maximum volume of the folded luggage compartment reaches 1650L, which can place 2 26-inch bicycles + 1 16-inch folding bicycle, and the normal state is 442L, which can place 4 golf bags or 3 24-inch + 21-inch luggage compartment combinations. The seven-seater version also has a small table in the luggage compartment, which can support a variety of heights to meet different needs.
In terms of functional requirements, the seven-seater version is more suitable for home users, and the six-seat version is more suitable for business users.
The rear screen is Android, and the built-in sofa butler app can support massive application downloads, which we can use as a function of our Android smart TV at home. In addition, this screen also supports Bluetooth and WiFi connection and wireless screen projection on Android and iOS phones. The functionality is impeccable, but in terms of the subjective feeling of resolution, it is not as clear as the ideal and Xpeng rear screens.
【· Written at the end ·] Buick GL8 Luzun PHEV Although there are many new places in this car, it still feels extremely solid and mature. Although the large frame shape of the whole car has not changed, the detail advantages that are the benchmark for MPVs have been strengthened in this car. For example, seat comfort, space practicality, pedal height and door opening size. The addition of PHEVs has allowed it to quickly complement the current product advantages exclusive to new energy vehicles, such as low fuel consumption, external discharge, and intelligent cabin intelligent driving. The new car is currently officially launched, with a price of 359,900-419,900 yuan, to see if it can help the GL8 family regain the top spot in the MPV category after its launch.
