GAC Trumpchi M8 is a travel tool for many consumers, and has been recognized by many families and consumers. However, now that the automobile market has entered the new energy era, more and more consumers have begun to pursue new energy MPVs, so GAC Trumpchi has also created GAC Trumpchi E8 PHEV and GAC Trumpchi E9 PHEV, two MPV models with plug-in hybrid systems. Because the official starting price of the GAC Trumpchi E9 PHEV is as high as 32980,000 yuan, many consumers can't afford it, so let's take a look at the performance of the GAC Trumpchi E8 PHEV and see if this car that has been on the market for a month is worth choosing?
Compared with the GAC Trumpchi E9 PHEV, the GAC Trumpchi E8 PHEV**, which is positioned as a medium-sized MPV, is naturally lower, and the official guide prices of its two models on sale are 20980,000 yuan and 22980,000 yuan, which is relatively close to the people. I don't know if it is affected by **, although the GAC Trumpchi E8 PHEV has only been on the market for a month, it has been loved by many consumers, with sales of more than 1,000 units in the first month, ranking fourth in the sales list of the market segment.
So is the GAC Trumpchi E8 PHEV worth the choice of consumers? Because the appearance of the MPV model will not be much different, we will not talk much about the exterior design of this model, if you are interested, you can find out for yourself. Let's take a look at the front row design of the GAC Trumpchi E8 PHEV first. Opening the door, we can see that the GAC Trumpchi E8 PHEV uses a flat and simple center console shape, and the large central control screen is suspended on the center console, showing the technological atmosphere of this model. This model is not equipped with a conventional large-size LCD instrument, and its instrument looks like a decorative strip, which can give consumers some freshness.
We can see that the GAC Trumpchi E8 PHEV is designed with two cup slots in front of the **armrest box, and there are also one-button start buttons and inclined mobile phone wireless charging panels, which looks very delicate and practical. But since there are already two cup holders here, why did the GAC Trumpchi E8 PHEV also design cup holders on both sides of the center console? With so many cup holders, do they really work?
Open the side sliding doors and enter the second row of the GAC Trumpchi E8 PHEV. This model is designed with an armrest, which is more friendly to the elderly and children. The second row of this car has independent seats, and the seats are equipped with leg rests, and we can also find the electric adjustment button for the second row of seats from near the ** aisle. It's just that the ** channel of this car is very narrow, only 190mm, and consumers who want to enter the third row can only adjust the front and rear positions of the second row of seats first.
In terms of body data, GAC Trumpchi E8 PHEV uses a body of 4920*1900*1760mm and a wheelbase of 2930mm. With passengers in the second row, it is natural to be able to experience the feeling of a "small bench" when you enter the third row of seats on the GAC Trumpchi E8 PHEV. And it should be noted that the seat belt in the middle of the third row of the GAC Trumpchi E8 PHEV is located on the rear roof of the passenger side, which means that if it is really full, the passengers in the middle of the third row will be tightly strangled by the seat belt.
Like many mainstream plug-in hybrid models, the GAC Trumpchi E8 PHEV engine + single motor power combination, but compared with competitors, the GAC Trumpchi E8 PHEV engine is matched with more patented technologies, and in terms of energy saving and noise reduction, this car performs well. In addition, the GAC Trumpchi E8 PHEV is equipped with an electric motor with a maximum power of 134kW, which is not bad, which also means that the power performance of the GAC Trumpchi E8 PHEV will be at a similar level to the GAC Trumpchi E9 PHEV.
Of course, plug-in hybrid models will be equipped with batteries, and with the support of the battery, the GAC Trumpchi E8 PHEV has a pure electric range of 150km and a comprehensive range of 1200km in the CLTC working environment, and the endurance performance is not bad. So overall, if you want to choose a plug-in hybrid model with strong practicality, the GAC Trumpchi E8 PHEV is worth choosing. You can use the car as a large four-seater on weekdays, but occasionally you can travel at full capacity (temporary emergency). But if you're traveling with more than five people, then I don't recommend you to choose the GAC Trumpchi E8 PHEV, because the space performance of this car is really not very good.
