In the self-7 SUV camp among GS8 Chi Chuan can be described as a pivotal position. On the one hand, Trumpchi GS8 be viewed with the same level benchmark – Guangzhou Toyota Highlander closest to the overall performance of the domestic SUV models; on the other hand, had GS8 Chi Chuan pierce the ceiling of 200,000 own brand, to create a monthly sales over million for over myth.
but then the introduction of competing products, GS8 light gradually retreat. But to make this veteran repeats similar success, it quickly Chi Chuan mid-term facelift, and listed on the 2020 models in November, when. The new Chi Chuan GS8 performance in the end how to do? Jiang brother recently on this car for a test drive, so the next and everyone chat, GS8 after the facelift in the end there did not feel amazing.
design: the appearance of small change, fashion, interior sense of technology to enhance the
Although the mid-term facelift, but Trumpchi GS8 the change in appearance is very slight. At first glance, or the familiar taste, but careful comparison and found the license plate frame just below the thick silver trim has been canceled, fog lights style also changed, and the addition of two chrome trim like “Quake” in. The changes are small, but they add to the car a little fashion taste.

side, substantially follow the old section of the design, floating roof, with 19-inch wheels, sporty. Body size, dimensions is still 4835/1910/1785 (1765) mm, wheelbase is 2800mm.

bumper relatively small changes, the position of reflective tape on both sides move up, modeling of more streamlined silver shield. Overall, the 2020 models GS8 are some small changes in appearanceMove, essentially unchanged. But Jiang brother believes that the current aesthetic point of view, the original design yet, but when, a little upgrading is enough.

interior, GS8 Trumpchi new dress on three liquid crystal whole steering wheel and instrument control physical buttons below the screen has become a chrome pattern. It is the addition of these elements of fashion, which makes Chi Chuan GS8 interior design from the previous old-fashioned, boring, has become more fashionable vitality.
It is worth mentioning that, the GS8 modular gateway whole liquid crystal display can also be synchronized dashboard navigation map information, so there is no need to look distracted navigation screen on the control screen or mobile phone, quite a bit taste Audi dual linkage.
Jiang brother test drive is the top model, providing mobile wireless charging function, if the phone can be charged wirelessly, then it is still very easy to use. If you are connecting through a data line, the little trouble, since the USB interface design Trumpchi GS8 front of the central console box inside.
The seat space: two rows of three rows ample enough
Of course, as a large 7 SUV, passenger space It is also a very important one. After a good front row position adjustment, meter eighty or so people sitting in the second row, there are fists multi-leg space and head room for nearly fists, still relatively abundant.
while the third row space is relatively small, meter eighty people sit in, legs and head basically do not have much space . Another nearly seven meters tall people get around, but added there are a lot of surplus, legs four fingers, the head of a finger.
according to the overall experience of view space, a table Trumpchi GS8Now basic and Highlander par. Although the space is enough, but there is need to optimize the place that handles adjust the seat on both sides of the second row of seats can be directly put back down, but it can not continue to let down after the seat moves back and forth.
on the handle is pulled back, so that the seat can be moved back and forth, but not fully recline the seat back and out is not convenient. So if these two functions can optimize the collection a bit, presumably experience dramatically increased.
Dynamic test drive: steady power, excellent soundproofing
[123 ] power, the new Chi Chuan GS8 be powered by a 2.0T engine parameters rose sharply. This engine in addition to the six countries to meet emission standards, it also improves the maximum horsepower than the old models of 51, reached 252 horsepower, torque increased by 70 cow middot; m. It looked like small changes, but at the same level of autonomy among mainstream 2.0T engine, it has been regarded as the strongest in existence.
Although the parameters of power is very strong, but Chi Chuan did not adjust to it very radical, but from positioning GS8 will it becomes more biased towards home and comfort. In the low-speed infancy, even Bigfoot to step on the gas, the car would not be significant channeling dynamic, strong but smooth acceleration, acceleration in the posterior segment, too, to feel the driver is calm and honest.
aspects of sound, Jiang brother is still very new recognition Chi Chuan GS8 of performance. Even when the vehicle speed of about 100km / h, the vehicle only a slight wind noise, engine noise and road noise are effectively cut off. It seems to take real GS8 flagship identity, Trumpchi done a lot of work on the optimization of NVH.
on the
Brake feel, at the beginning of step down, a certain amount of pedal phantom, Jiang brother thought GS8 of new brakeJapanese cars car set style. But continue to step down, but found it fairly linear braking force, basically step on how much how much. But there was still a significant nod phenomenon, but a strong confidence in the braking force to bring the overall output performance, or to give people time Jicha.
on the ride experience, the vehicle needs to be improved filtering of road bumps, road feel especially at low speed chassis delivered too clear. Fortunately, aftershocks and rebound are handled relatively clean, high-speed running “cart sense” obviously, can quell small potholes, otherwise it will really take some discomfort.
steering, along with the increase of the vehicle speed, the GS8 modular gateway steering torque slowly increased. When light is quite low, one-handed operation is also no problem, when the speed reaches the high speed range, the steering becomes steady, the running stability of the vehicle will also be promoted. Of course, this does not improve the stability of steering give you plenty of support force, so when the speed is too sharp or should reduce the number.
technology configuration: automatic parking practical, sensitive radar alert
in the technology configuration, the two new Trumpchi GS8 Colombian border points so impressed. One is the automatic parking, the other is to remind the radar. The reason this automatic parking let Jiang brother impressed, because it is not like other cars, like a gimmick than practical.
but designed to be different from other brands, GS8 automatic parking need to keep your finger holding down the parking button to complete and release the parking halfway it will be suspended. In Xinjiang brother several parking tests, the probability Trumpchi GS8 pulled into proximity identifiable spaces hundred percent, both double scribe region intermediate car or bicycle side, it can fly into the stop.
where no scribed and, as long as a vehicle parked next to a reference, it can accurately stop where the car wall ( measured side stop, stop flip will do). Than there are in the scribe position to stop badThe car, the automatic parking GS8 Chi Chuan has been considered outstanding performance of the.
At the beginning of the test, Jiang brother still feel that the parking operation to press key is superfluous, but after testing several times, but I found that this setting is actually very down to earth. After all, spend an automatic parking most of them are new to the unexpected situations make him let go, no doubt make the whole process easier to control.
and radar remind the reason for Xinjiang brother was impressed, it is because it is too far from the set of prompts, toll booths should be to drive to the middle of the road, radar reminder will not sound. But this is a great help for the novice, allowing the car to avoid an accident rub, collision during travel, if they feel their technical skills, it can be closed off by the button.
After the facelift, the new Chi Chuan GS8 comprehensive strength has increased by one grade, for a stronger third-generation 390T engine Although not performance oriented, but at least you can make a driver more confidence, confidence when overtaking. After testing, the new power output GS8 Chi Chuan has been promoted to class-leading position, and noise suppression technology has a good performance. Had the old section of “test the water”, it will be for the purchase of seven mid-sized SUV friend, Chi Chuan GS8 2020 models might be a “real incense” choice.
