From GS4, to GS8, to the latest GS3, GAC Trumpchi has really not many models launched. The average pace of one model per year is definitely a "lazy" work performance in independent brands. But with this rhythm of "slow work and meticulous work", GAC Trumpchi's new cars in the past two years are all high-quality products and popular products.
At this Guangzhou Auto Show, Trumpchi once again launched a new car that shook the audience: GM8.
has always been a muddy water market, especially the mid-to-high-end MPV market. Many automobile manufacturers want to get some benefits in this muddy water pool, but successful manufacturers can count it with three fingers: Buick GL8, Honda Odyssey, and Elysen , which has finally emerged recently.
However, judging from the size of the above three MPV models, it is not particularly large. After the launch of the new Buick GL8, the sales volume exceeded an astonishing 10,000 units, which is already recognized as the ceiling height, and it is difficult to make another breakthrough. During the period, there will be Mazda 8, Volkswagen Touran, Dajielong, Nazhijieda7MPV, Chery Arrizo M7, all of which hope to seize some share in this segment. Although the country has relaxed the two-child policy, at the actual buyer level and in the mid-to-high-end MV market, the three models mentioned above are still recognized.
This market is extremely dangerous and does not have a huge user base like other market segments, such as the SUV market. Any model can be launched to get good sales. The MPV market is different. The user size is small, and if the model is a little unsatisfactory, this model can go home directly.
So GAC Trumpchi has the confidence to win when launching GM8, and this confidence is not instilled by manufacturers in automotive media or consumers, but the product power of GM8 can really shock people. The concept car exhibited before
is very outstanding and gives people a shocking feeling. Of course, there are huge differences between mass-produced cars and concept cars, which is understandable. However, after Trumpchi GM8 appeared at home in Guangzhou, it received a lot of applause.
It turns out that the large body can also be very fashionable
After seeing the real car, my first impression was that this car is so big, and I feel that it is a little bit bigger than GL8, which is undoubtedly better than the Odyssey master. It is difficult for MPV to achieve the body lines that make people like, and the huge body is one of the constraints. Just like a fat guy, it is difficult for you to see the sexy vest line on him.
But GM8 is different. In , Mercedes-Benz , the chief designer who designed several heavyweight models: Zhang Fan, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a genius. After taking over Trumpchi's design work, it is difficult to find another unfair car.
Back onto the car, the length of more than 5 meters, the width of more than 1.9 meters and the height of more than 1.8 meters all make the GM8 not at all stage frightened next to the GL8. GM8 can be said to be a reference to the current domestic MPV sales. The spacious interior space, extremely luxurious configuration, first-class seat layout, some impeccable entertainment and video systems, 2.0T power system, etc., are all plus points for the GM8. What is the market prospect of
?
Speaking of market prospects, I have laid a lot of characteristics of this market segment before. Some of them will be infinitely enlarged, while their shortcomings will also be discussed by consumers on the desktop. This serious model will soon be forgotten by consumers.
GAC Trumpchi certainly does not want this to happen, so in terms of configuration, it can only have a good start if it is comparable to its competitors, or even exceeds it a certain extent. Before the test drive is available, I dare not comment on the ride comfort and mechanical characteristics of the GM8, but if the GM8 maintains the consistent quality of GAC Trumpchi models, it is quite easy for GM8 to compete for the market share of GL8 and Honda Odyssey.
