A few years ago, first saw the Guangzhou Automobile Chi Chuan GS8 time, I was impressed, the entire car exudes the aura exceptionally strong, and the large size of the body is always given a car, in people’s minds higher value. Consumers do not understand read, one might think from the sale price of at least 20 million or more now.
Trumpchi GS8 also by virtue of this advantage, won a lot of praise in the former own-brand midsize SUV market. But at the same level of competitors are emerging, more trendy design, configuration is more abundant, cheaper, GS8 at this time seems to have become less fragrant.
So, the birth of the new Chi Chuan GS8S, should be to reverse the situation, the first step out of. From the name of the new car’s point of view, GS8 later added an “S” suffix, we can almost be understood as, this is a cash-based GS8 models, focusing on sports performance models.
GS8S enough exercise?
This time we got the GS8S 390T two-drive luxury Zhaopin version, that is, once the top version of the entire system. Powertrain 2020 models equipped with the latest GS8 390T powertrain, is the 2.0T + 6AT, maximum 252 horsepower and peak torque of 390 cattle middot; m.
compared to the previous generation 2.0T engine mounted on old GS8, the percentage of the maximum horsepower about 25, about 22 percentage to enhance the peak torque and in line with national emission standards ⅵ.
from the book data point of view, the GS8S regarded plenty of power, especially in sport mode, the power output is fairly positive, as long as you are willing to throttle it can always respond quickly to all your instructions, but this performance is limited to low speed stage.
to really want to display their fists high-speed running state, although still plenty of reserve power, but this time some drag 6AT gearbox. At this time, if desired overtaking, deep pedal instructs the transmission may take about 1 second reception command and make the downshift operation. Most evident in the case of driving mode in comfort mode, sports mode will be better.
Chassis, the front McPherson multi-link independent suspension, the overall adjustment is more biased in favor of comfort, and in particular the deceleration is started, the vehicle body pitch angle changes slightly. In addition, advertised for a sports car, the lateral support when cornering inadequate.
Nevertheless, the performance in terms of comfort suspension of some of the more excellent, with a good filter shock resistance.
Generally speaking, GS8S should be a better focus on open and comfortable SUV, as for movement of words and some far-fetched.
More domineering appearance, varying in size
GS8S GS8 with the biggest difference in appearance focused on the first face, of the formula GS8 transverse web is straight waterfall type of large-size grille replaced, the official returned it took a sci-fi feel particularly name: Zhen Tianyi. See this large chrome strips aligned, indeed a Megatron feeling ……
In addition to changes in the network, before the surrounding also increased the trim sides similar to the intake port, but this is sealed, and can not function as a brake to the intake or heat.

the GS8 modular gateway is a highlight on the new GS8S also been extended, still maintaining the original design pattern. So combined, the entire front face of the visual effects will be more hardcore domineering.
car side of the car, increasing the ceiling of the luggage rack and a skirt surrounding the chromium plated side, the vehicle side will look moreSome tough.
The hub uses 19-inch wheels a blade styling, the icing on the cake on to create a sense of movement, but with the tire is focused on mute comfort the Michelin Linhao Yue 4, and the movement is not detached.
and the vehicle tail remained almost the design cash GS8, there are some changes in the details, especially chrome strip on the rear surround gas trim into a sealed, it is obvious GS8S become a hidden exhaust layout, which seems to run counter to some of the tonal movement.
Details of these changes are within the above basic visible range, but in fact the body size GS8S greater GS8 difference. May be due to our test drive car is black’s sake, it did not cause us too much attention, until both body size data together contrast, it is interesting.
In contrast, GS8S has shortened the length and wheelbase, it can not help people think suffix “S” again specific meaning exactly what do the authors is a “small” mean? Or, car manufacturers for new cars to have better control of shortened motility, body length and wheelbase intends to do?
Fortunately, after reduction wheelbase, rear legroom has not been seriously affected.
interior more technology, space surprise
interior design basically a continuation of the interior on the latest 2020 models GS8. Under cortex suture package large areas of the body may be out of reach of delicate. At the same time, 10.1-inch large screen in the control +12.3 inch LCD instrumentation, science and technology co-exist with a sense of luxury, but it is the lack of so-called movement elements.
vehicle computer experience can still onlyShortcoming is not very friendly to Apple mobile phone users, currently only supports Carlife, without CarPlay. Although, the car machine comes with on-board real-time navigation, in actual use, due to network reasons, did not fly so mobile navigation.
Electronic files on
the GS8 modular gateway to be replaced with mechanical shift knob, and use is not very smoothly, lever the front end of the release button easily folders in hand, it is worth to improve, after all, the use of such high frequency components used up less smoothly, it will affect the vehicle driver’s experience.
seat comfort is better, but on the flank of the body of the package is not enough.
In addition, GS8S interior space is a highlight, you can see as many as 20 storage space, nothing to worry about no place to set put the phone and debris, especially in the central armrest storage space and glovebox amazing.
normal volume
of the trunk there 892L, under the cover there are very large hidden storage space.
In the case where the second row of seats recline, although not showing a full-flat state, but still reached the volume 1774L , very generous. After
AL Channel Summary
simple experience down day, new GS8S all aspects of the highlights so impressive, but then come back to after careful review, or will inevitably find enough new cars in comfort, practicality work, and there is some movement in terms of the lack of, seems a bit tricky question.
models alone product itself, GS8S well be a more suitable home midsize SUV, but with Chi Chuan brandSome of its other models whether there will be positioned to overlap exist? Your products, your fine products, your product carefully –
As for the specific configuration and price has not yet been announced, the new car is expected to be officially listed on April 26, look forward to it!
