With the increasing attention to environmental protection and sustainable development around the world, new energy vehicles have become an inevitable trend in the development of the world. Aware of this, independent car companies have already started the road of new energy, and at present, the achievements of independent car companies in the field of new energy seem to have surpassed joint ventures. As a leader among China's own brands, GAC Trumpchi has been committed to the research and development of new energy vehicles with international competitiveness. As the latest masterpiece, the Trumpchi E8 PHEV has become a rising star in the new energy vehicle market with its innovative technology and excellent performance.
When it comes to the representative of the family MPV, many people will think of the Odyssey from Honda, which can be said to take Honda's "mm space" concept to the extreme. And this time the Trumpchi E8 PHEV also learned its essence, which is designed for home users, so the monthly sales of the Trumpchi E8 PHEV successfully exceeded 5,500 units. Although the car has been on the market for a few months now, we still have to take a brief look at its appearance.
The Trumpchi E8 PHEV adopts a unique family-style design language in the exterior design, and the overall style is fashionable and atmospheric. The streamlined body lines and exquisite details make this car both technological and luxurious. The most recognizable existence of the whole appearance is the front face, and the surface of the borderless front grille has added a total of five through the heat dissipation vents, to be honest, this design element does have a high degree of originality, but I personally feel that it inevitably looks a little strange at first, and there is still some room for optimization.
In addition to the front grille, the split headlights are also eye-catching, and there is nothing to say about the light strip running through the top. The side of the headlights below is also integrated with a sharp light strip in the shape of fangs, which extends to the lower surrounding, which is indeed conspicuous when lit. The side of the car is what a family MPV should look like, and the visual effect is simply enriched by changing the profile. In addition to these visible designs, the Trumpchi E8 PHEV also further reduces the weight of the vehicle and optimizes fuel economy by using lightweight materials and optimizing the structural design.
On the other hand, the interior design of the Trumpchi E8 PHEV personally feels that it is more textured than the exterior, especially the dark brown interior has a strong business atmosphere. Most of the functions in the car are integrated into the floating center control screen, compared to the center control screen, the slender instrument panel seems a little stingy. There are basically no physical buttons and knobs on the center console, which is still different from most MPVs, more like an SUV, and the hollow design under the gear shift table saves more space for the front row.
As an MPV, the second row is the top priority of the Trumpchi E8 PHEV, the second row is equipped with two independent wide seats, and only the high-end models support electric adjustment, leg rest adjustment, heating, ventilation, massage and other functions. Although the price of the high configuration is 20,000 yuan more expensive than the low configuration, it has added a lot of practical configurations, and on the whole, the 20,000 yuan is still worth it.
Entering the third row, the space performance of the Trumpchi E8 PHEV is not cramped, and the backrest angle is on the large side, and there is a feeling of half-lying on it. However, it is inevitable that there will still be some restraint during the long ride, in order to improve the practicality as much as possible, the trunk floor has been sunken, and the third row of seats can be folded down to be in a flat state with the platform, and the space is flexible enough.
In terms of power, the Trumpchi E8 PHEV is equipped with 2The plug-in hybrid power of the 0L engine and electric motor can intelligently switch between pure electric and hybrid modes through an advanced power distribution system and an intelligent energy management system to achieve the best power output and fuel economy. In addition, the Trumpchi E8 PHEV is also equipped with a battery pack with a larger capacity, which can provide a longer range and meet the needs of consumers for travel.
At present, the sales performance of the Trumpchi E8 PHEV is not very impressive, but everyone can feel the potential contained in it. The sales of more than 5,000 units are already good, and this car has a balanced product power in all aspects, plus 20The starting price of 980,000 yuan has won the love of many family users. In the coming period, the sales of the Trumpchi E8 PHEV should continue**, and it is still difficult to predict whether it can become a hot-selling model.
