Guangzhou Auto Trumpchi GS8
The brand new Guangzhou Auto Trumpchi GS8 has been launched on the Chinese car market.
The highly anticipated GS8 is the new flagship of the Trumpchi range and the largest and most expensive car
Guangzhou Auto has ever built. It is also the best looking SUVs from a Chinese
car maker so far. Price for all this pretty starts at 163.800 yuan and ends at
259.800 yuan (US$ 24.200 – 38.000).
The Trumpchi GS8 is powered by a 2.0 turbocharged
four-cylinder engine with 201 Hp and 300 Nm, mated to a six-speed automatic
gearbox. The low-sped variants get front-wheel drive, the high-sped variants
four-wheel drive. Designations are 320T and 320T i4WD respectively.
Dimension size is 4810/1910/1770 mm, and wheelbase is 2800 mm. The GS8 is a seven-seat car. A smaller five-seat
variant is under way. It will be called GS7.
The interior is really good looking too. White
leather, light wood, and piano black panels. The only dissonant is the steering
wheel which looks strangely old fashioned. Two analogue dials with a LCD in between. The
operating system is in English here and that is not insignificant; Guangzhou
Auto has serious plans to export the GS8, beginning with the United States.
