In the domestic auto market, SUV models have always been popular due to their good passability, large space and strong practicality. But as the saying goes, "You can't have your cake and eat it too." Due to the inherent characteristics of the body being too tall, handling, stability, etc. seem to have always been out of reach for SUVs. "It drives like a boat" and is a common feeling shared by many people when driving an SUV: V. However, with the development of technology in recent years, SUVs are also "working on their internal skills". Among them, the second-generation GS8, a mid-to-large SUV, is one of the best.
In the past May, the sales of the new second-generation GS8 exceeded 6,600 units. Since the beginning of this year, the sales volume of hybrid models has become the sales champion of domestic HEV hybrid models. Consumers generally praise it as easy to drive and fuel-efficient. How does this medium-to-large SUV with a length of over 5 meters achieve this?
The surging power is the prerequisite, it is refreshing to just put the gas in and go
When we evaluate the driving experience of a car, the most intuitive feeling is power. Many people's complaints about SUVs are mostly about "powerful" and "not moving even when given fuel". Indeed, the large size and heavy weight of an SUV also determines that its power requirements will be higher. If the engine is not powerful, it will be like "a small horse pulling a big car", then no matter how you adjust it, you can't escape the "meaty" feeling. Trumpchi, which has been studying SUVs for more than ten years, naturally understands this. After years of research and development, GAC Trumpchi has also launched its own engine, the Julang Power 2.0TGDI engine, and installed it on the second-generation GS8 fuel version. By matching Aisin's third-generation 8AT gearbox, the maximum torque of reaches 400N·m. The power output of is strong, the gear shifting is smoother, and the entire acceleration experience is very smooth.
In the hybrid version of the dual-engine series, the second-generation GS8 uses the new fourth-generation enhanced THSⅡ Toyota hybrid system of the same model as the Highlander for the first time. Through the form of gasoline-electric hybrid, the power is The output is smoother. The new second-generation GS8 dual-engine four-wheel drive version can accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers in 6.9 seconds, which is comparable to many "performance cars" and is quite impressive for a medium to large SUV. And this kind of power performance also allows it to successfully break people's inherent perception of the power of SUVs. According to statistics, from January to May this year, the second-generation GS8 Dual Engine successfully ranked first in sales of Chinese brand gasoline-electric hybrid models, which is enough to show its full recognition by the market.
Megstar chassis + shadow driver make driving as stable as Mount Tai.
As the saying goes, a good horse with a good saddle has strong power, and it also needs an excellent platform to achieve smooth control. On the new second-generation GS8, GAC Trumpchi is based on the latest independently developed Meg-Star chassis technology, making the vehicle chassis extremely stable, extremely strong, and extremely smooth. Through the use of dual hydraulic suspension powertrain and high-performance shock absorber valve system, the impact strength and aftershocks are optimized; through the optimization of the suspension system, the longitudinal compliance is improved, the impact strength is improved, and the impact softness is enhanced, making the driving more stable and also More comfortable, even if you pass some non-paved roads, it will feel like walking on flat ground.
In order to further improve handling stability, the second-generation GS8 also uses high-performance tires to improve cornering stiffness and achieve excellent cornering performance. Moreover, it adapts to different user needs through three power-assisted modes: light, comfortable, and sport; uses a higher-performance steering system to improve the overall steering response; based on user needs, the number of steering wheel turns is reduced by 13%, optimizing the minimum turning radius, making steering easier , the control is more sensitive, making it easy to drive this medium and large SUV that is over 5 meters long.
In addition, the new second-generation GS8 fuel version also has a unique AVDC shadow driver, which is the GAC adaptive vehicle dynamic control system. For the first time, it uses " domain control " technology to integrate EMS, TCU, ESP, four-wheel drive and other systems. Initial integration, analysis of general working conditions and strategy definition, such as installing a control center on the car. After real-time analysis, the adaptive dynamic control effect of the vehicle can be achieved, so that the large GS8 can be easily controlled.
Never forget the original intention of safety, Jinqing driving is also fully guaranteed.
When driving a large car, many people are more worried about safety issues. On roads with increasingly crowded vehicles, larger volumes will undoubtedly increase the risk of scratches and other collisions. As a medium-to-large SUV with seven seats, the new second-generation GS8 is strong in both active and passive safety.
The new second-generation GS8 also achieves a 540° panoramic function based on the 360° panoramic view through the transparency of the car bottom. During the driving process, through dynamic 3D scene display and surround 6 viewing angle selection, the driver has a thorough understanding of the road conditions, and can feel confident whether overtaking or changing lanes. The entire vehicle is equipped with up to 22 smart driving sensors and is equipped with 27 rich active safety intelligent technologies, allowing drivers to cope with various road conditions more calmly and "powerfully" attack.
In addition, for some novice drivers, the ADiGO4.0 intelligent assisted driving equipped in the new second-generation GS8 can also provide a very friendly driving experience. By integrating one-click activation of smart navigation, L2+ smart driving assistance, integrated parking and other "black technologies", novices can quickly get started with the "big car", and can actually solve problems such as driving off track, taking the wrong road, and parking difficulties. The problems that drivers often encounter really make big cars "easy to use" and give novice drivers more driving pleasure.
At the same time, in addition to active safety that makes driving safe, the new second-generation GS8 also has buff blessings in terms of passive safety. As the first model developed under the GPMA architecture L platform, the new second-generation GS8 is developed with reference to the highest domestic safety level standards. It also meets the 2021 version of C-NCAP five-star safety and C-IASI excellent standards, and has been recognized and awarded by the industry. "2021 China's Top Ten Car Body" Award.
