Guangzhou Auto Trumpchi i-Lounge Concept
The
Guangzhou Auto Trumpchi i-Lounge Concept debuted on the Guangzhou Auto
Show, and we think it is the best concept of the show, and probably of the
year. The grille is just incredible impressive, all chrome and shiny, with
four massive bars and a huge Guangzhou Auto badge.
Best
news is the i-Lounge actually previews a real car, the Trumpchi GM5 MPV, which
is scheduled to launch on the Chinese car market in late 2016. The basic shape will be the same, the grille
will be toned down a bit but not by that much, the air intakes will be killed
and the lights will be bigger.
The
GM5 will compete with cars like the Buick GL8, Honda Elysion, and the Toyota
Alphard. Power will come from a 2.0 turbo with about 200 horsepower.
Four
captain seats in the concept. The real thing will also be available as a
seven-seater. Interestingly, Guangzhou Auto says that the touch screens for the
rear-seat entertainment system are fitted with face recognition technology,
able to recognize age, mood, and intelligence.
