The rich and compact body lines make the vehicle full of aura and spirit.

The new Trumpchi GS4 interior: both luxury and technology

Trumpchi has worked hard on the interiors of its new generation models The interior of the new Trumpchi GS4 is enough to give people a refreshing feeling. The sense of technology and luxury are quite prominent, and the materials used are also at the forefront of the same level and price.

The new Trumpchi GS4 is priced at

The all-new Trumpchi GS4 is a compact SUV with a starting price of less than 90,000 and a volume model of around 120,000, which is obviously relatively close to the people.

The new Trumpchi GS4 direct competition model

Due to the huge demand in the compact SUV market, major car companies basically have 2 or more products at this level , This makes the car market segment become strong, and the car market has been cold in the past two years, so compact SUV models can only gain a foothold if they are comprehensive, balanced and not lacking in bright spots. Combining factors such as price, design style, and market enthusiasm, we selected three compact SUVs with high sales volume and recognized comprehensive qualities at this price point, namely Geely Boyue, Haval H6 and Roewe RX5. In this article, they will compete with the new Trumpchi GS4 in many aspects.

Power system comparison

Power system It is the core of a car. If a car is unqualified in this respect, even with a very good-looking appearance and dazzling configuration, it will be difficult to gain the favor of the market. Let's first compare the power systems of the four models. Among the four models of

, Geely Boyue and Haval H6 both provide more than one power, but it happens that all four models have 1.5T displacement models, and the prices overlap, so the four engines have the same displacement. Which is stronger and weaker?

The tail mark of all new Trumpchi GS4 models is "270T", corresponding This 1.5T engine code-named 4A15J1 has a maximum power of 124kW (169PS)/5000rpm, a peak torque of 265N·m/1700-4000rpm, and a 6-speed automated manual gearbox. Looking at the book parameters, it can reach the upstream level of the same displacement machine, especially in terms of torque, which is not inferior to most 1.6T/1.8T engines.

The 1.5T engine of Haval H6 has the highest peak torque among four cars: 285N·m, and the horsepower is the same as the new Trumpchi GS4. However, according to the data sheet, the peak torque platform of the Haval H6 is only at 1400-3000rpm. The torque platform is far less wide than the other three vehicles. The power generation is earlier but the attenuation is early. The 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox is more sporty than the same-level models. Most of the traditional AT gearboxes are slightly stronger, but there are also some setbacks, such as low-speed switching between first and second gears.

When the pistons of a three-cylinder engine work, the reciprocating inertial forces cannot cancel each other, and the innate jitter and noise are more obvious than those of a four-cylinder engine. Therefore, many consumers are very worried about the stability, smoothness and noise performance of the three-cylinder machine when purchasing. Geely has added a balance shaft directly connected to the crankshaft through the gears, and balances the engine with the counterweight of the balance shaft itself. Vibration. The actual NVH performance, the engine can be very close to a four-cylinder engine.

It can be seen that the power of the four models is close, and the engine performance can enter the first echelon at the same price. On the gearbox, the third-generation Aisin 6AT gearbox of the new Trumpchi GS4 will be smooth Sexually better than most opponents.

Interior comparison

Judging the appearance of the vehicle is a matter of opinion. Although the interior is the same, the overall design and materials will directly affect the ride comfort of the occupants. With a sense of grade. As mentioned in the above introduction, the interior of the new Trumpchi GS4 is covered by a large amount of leather, equipped with a 12.3-inch double large screen, and the detailed design is also quite innovative, which makes people shine. The comparison of the interiors of the four models, and the intuitive feeling is indeed that the new Trumpchi GS4 is even better in terms of texture and class sense. In terms of design, the interiors of the four cars have their own characteristics, but they are all fashionable and dynamic.

price Comparison of configuration of close/moving models

Since there is at least a price difference of 40,000 yuan between the high/low configuration of the four models, we choose the configuration version with the closest price and the volume of the four models (medium configuration ), look at the respective configuration of the four cars at the same price. They are the new Trumpchi GS4 270T automatic technology version (131,800), Haval H6 1.5GDIT automatic platinum luxury version (129,900), Boyue 1.5TD automatic smart connection PRO, Roewe RX5 20T automatic two-wheel drive 4G interconnection beyond flagship version ( 12.88 million).

The four models pay much attention to safety, such as ABS anti-lock braking, braking force distribution EBD, traction control TCS, Basic safety systems such as body stability control ESP are equipped.

In terms of comfort and convenience, the four cars are equipped with openable panoramic sunroof, keyless start, keyless entry, electric rearview mirror adjustment/heating, rear seat air outlet, etc. Roewe RX5 is slightly inferior in this regardOther models are abundant, such as the dual-zone automatic air-conditioning and on-board PM2.5 filter devices shared by the other three vehicles did not appear on it.

The new Trumpchi GS4 four cars have the most abundant configuration in this regard. Wireless charging of mobile phones and rear privacy glass are not equipped with the other three cars. 360-degree panoramic image, car air purifier, remote start, etc. are Two of the other three models have configurations that are not available.

In terms of technology and multimedia configuration, except for the Roewe RX5, all other models have a full LCD instrument panel. The LCD instruments of the new Trumpchi GS4 and Haval H6 both reach 12.3 inches, and the former also has the largest central control screen among the four cars. As for the built-in functions of the car, the four cars are quite rich. Relatively speaking, the new Trumpchi GS4 and Haval H6 are still the most outstanding in this part.

Generally speaking, the four models with similar prices are very rich in configuration and can fully meet the needs of most people. The protagonist, the all-new Trumpchi GS4 (270T automatic intelligent connection technology version), can gain a small victory compared with its competitors in terms of comfort, convenience and multimedia configuration.

Compared with several other powerful and most popular compact SUVs in the same price range, the new Trumpchi GS4 does not lose its sense of existence. Whether it is powertrain tuning, chassis quality or interior configuration, it is not weak or slightly better than its opponents. Undoubtedly, the all-new Trumpchi GS4 is the intentional work of GAC Trumpchi, and this replacement is a success.
