Although the popularity of SUV has declined in the past year, it still occupies a considerable market share in terms of overall sales. Today, Coffee Brother will introduce a Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi GS8S, which was launched on April 26th. The new car * * * will launch four models, and the guide price range is 15.58- 192800 yuan. The design style of the whole vehicle basically continues the design style of GS8, but there are some changes in the shape of the front and rear of the vehicle, and it is mainly composed of five seats and equipped with a brand-new 2.0T engine. So what are the highlights of this medium-sized SUV after adding an "S"? Is it worth buying? Next, Brother Coffee will have a good talk with you.
Appearance highlights: the front face and tail change obviously and are more sporty.
The overall design of GAC Chuanqi GS8S is based on the design concept of GS8. The body size is slightly smaller than that of GS8, and the front face and tail are slightly adjusted in appearance details. In addition to the "slimming" of the size, its design has also changed a little. The front face adopts a larger straight waterfall air intake grille design, which is officially called "Zhentianyi" vertical air intake grille, and the lower part adopts a three-stage air intake. Compared with Chuanqi GS8, it looks more fierce.
Matrix LED headlights will appear on the sub-top and above models. The side of the vehicle adopts the same design as GS7. Because the wheelbase and width of the GS8S are the same as those of the GS7, and the length and height of the vehicle are larger than those of the GS7, it is small in visual effect.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height are 4740/1911775 mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2720 mm Compared with the more compact body of Chuanqi GS8, Chuanqi GS8S brings a stronger sense of movement visually.
The whole tail is square. Compared with the front face, the change between the tail and GS8 is small, the lines of the rear bumper are sharper and more stereoscopic, and the silver lower guard plate at the bottom has a larger area, covering the bilateral exhaust ports on the left and right sides. The taillights are designed in a double U-shape.
Interior Highlights: It is basically the same as Chuanqi GS8.
The interior design is basically the same as Chuanqi GS7. The overall design is embracing, and many places are covered with soft plastic enamel and leather-like stitching, so the texture performance is still excellent.
Among them, the 12.3-inch LCD instrument panel, 10. 1 inch central control touch screen and the three-position steering wheel with the same design of styling buttons have not changed, the only difference is the use of mechanical gears. Piano-style air-conditioning control buttons are also used at the bottom of the central control screen, which shows a good texture.
The front leather seats are spacious and comfortable, soft wrapped, equipped with 10 electric adjustment and three sets of memories. It is worth mentioning that the vertical space of the entire cockpit is still excellent, especially the front head space has obvious advantages in the same level.
The seat cushion in the back seat is very long, which can fully support the legs, and the back of the chair is also very thick, but the overall seat cushion is relatively hard, but it has little effect on the ride.
As a medium-sized SUV model, it needs to take into account daily household use, and space practicality is a hard-core indicator. According to the actual experience, Chuanqi GS8S has performed well in both riding space and storage space. The storage capacity of the trunk is also considerable, and the items on the car can be placed in layers and zones. The second row of seats can be laid down at the ratio of 4/6, and the trunk space can be expanded to 1774L after being laid down, but the floor is not completely flat.
What is the power and driving experience?
In terms of power, Chuanqi GS8S is equipped with the third-generation 2.0TGDI engine independently developed by GAC. Compared with the previous generation 2.0T engine, the maximum power is increased by 25% and the maximum torque is also increased by 22%. In terms of parameters, its maximum power is 185kW(252Ps) and its maximum torque is 390 N m. In terms of transmission, it matches Aisin 6-speed automatic manual transmission. The chassis structure is a combination of front McPherson and rear multi-link independent suspension, and the whole system only provides two-wheel drive.
In terms of driving experience, there are three driving modes to choose from, namely ECO energy-saving mode, COMFORT comfort mode and SPROT sports mode. From the actual experience of coffee brother, the daily driving comfort mode is the most suitable. In comfort mode, this big guy, which is nearly 1.8 tons, is light at the beginning and won't give people a heavy feeling, but it is still relatively good to control, and the overall power can also meet your overtaking, merging and other actions.
In three different driving modes, the style of gearbox is also very different. In the comfort and energy-saving mode, the gearbox shifts smoothly and the engine speed will be controlled in the most economical range. In sport mode, the gear shifting opportunity of the gearbox is increased to 3500 rpm, and the whole acceleration process is relatively rapid, and the power performance will not be attenuated.
In the adjustment of the chassis, it is still the adjustment of comfort. The multi-stage vibration isolation chassis system is readjusted, and the road vibration filtering is fully considered in the matching design, which greatly improves the vibration isolation performance of suspension. Overall, the chassis performance of Chuanqi GS8S is still very stable. The steering force of the steering wheel is slightly adjusted as a whole, and this setting is also very suitable for people to better control when turning around or parking in urban areas.
Coffee brother comments
With the launch of Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi GS8S, Cafe feels that it is of greater significance to occupy the middle market area of Chuanqi GS8 and GS7, which also reflects the efforts of Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi to cover the layout of products in various market segments. However, this model has not changed much except for the reduced body size, which is not very impressive, but this does not prevent Chuanqi GS8S from being a pragmatic medium-sized SUV for home cities. Whether it is the strong performance of power or the smooth gearbox, the product strength is comparable to that of joint venture brands. If you have plans to buy a medium-sized SUV in the near future, this car can still be considered!
