186,800？ The 2024 Chuanqi GS8 is the true ownership of the big car.

Once upon a time, the 7-seat SUV market of its own brand was still blank. GAC Chuanqi was the first car company to eat crabs. The appearance of GS8 in that year not only represented the brand flagship, but also silently declared war on the traditional joint venture brand, which was atmospheric, calm, luxurious, scientific and practical without high cost. On June 30th, GAC Chuanqi officially launched 2024 GS8s, which are four configurations for consumers to choose from, namely, Pilot Two-wheel Drive/Four-wheel Drive Deluxe Zhilian Edition and Dual-engine Two-wheel Drive/Four-wheel Drive Premium Edition, and all of them come standard with 7 seats. The official guide price is 186,800 yuan to 246,800 yuan.

The root of luxury lies in the materials and configuration, which creates a sense of advanced from the visual and tactile dimensions; The root of atmosphere lies in design and understanding, and aesthetics is outlined from the dimensions and lines. It is not difficult for any car company to build a big car. It is difficult to tap the market demand and listen to the voice of consumers while being luxurious, atmospheric, comfortable and spacious. After several years of exploration, combined with the rapid change of science and technology, the new GS8 is equipped with the mainstream Snapdragon 8155 chip. It is also a familiar 14.6-inch central touch screen, equipped with mainstream technology functions such as voice recognition control, gesture control and facial recognition.

The test drive is a 7-seat four-wheel drive luxury Zhilian version. The official guide price is only 205,800 yuan, and it is also a pure fuel top version. In terms of appearance, the new car abandoned the integrated design of the air intake grille and the front bumper. Some lines of the front bumper and fog lights are very strong, and the double color of the front lip increases the layering of the front. The four matrix beads in the headlight are preserved, and they have the characteristics of geometric multi-beams, providing ample visual field effect at night. When the chicken is photographed, it will crow and the dog will be dizzy.

In terms of body size, the 2024 GS8 fuel version has a length of 4980mm, a width of 1950mm, a height of 1780mm and an exaggerated wheelbase of 2920mm. GS8 is closer to the standard of medium and large SUV, but it is bigger than Buick Angke Banner in terms of parameters, and it is quite different from Highlander’s space experience by throwing Tiguan L and exploring Yue.

In terms of power, the 2024 GS8 four-wheel drive luxury Zhilian Edition is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 252Ps and a peak torque of 400N·m, matching the 8AT gearbox. Although the GS8 has a huge body of 2 tons and 5 meters, reasonable gearbox gear matching plus 400N·m ultra-high torque gives it a surging power experience, which can fully meet the daily use needs at low speed and high speed. The official WLTC fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 9.2L

Most consumers who buy big cars care about the passengers’ feelings. In addition to the oversized body size, the long slide rail design of the second row of seats and the backrest adjustment handle make it more flexible to enter and leave the third row. The flat design of two rows of central platform truly realizes uncompromising pure 7 seats, and each seat can provide a comfortable ride experience.

It is worth mentioning that in order to consider the comfort of the third row, the seat and backrest have been perforated, so that they can sit comfortably even in hot summer. Moreover, the second row of GS8 is equipped with independent air-conditioning fans, which can be adjusted by passengers according to their needs. Engineers on "seating people" GS8 have racked their brains. After all, the price is not expensive and they have to be considerate. Eating buffet with the budget of box lunch, the food is really delicious.

The configuration and interior design of GS8 are also full of sincerity, and the dual-engine series products also provide luxury seat optional packages for consumers to choose from. It includes many comfortable functions, such as the massage of the driver’s seat, the heating of two rows of seats, the four-way lumbar support adjustment of the driver’s seat and the boss key. In addition, the steering wheel heating function has been presented as standard.
