GS7, blockbuster SUV midsize GAC Motor
The GS8 arrived at the right time, it is the only class SUV B with a starting price of 150,000 RMB Yuan, get a competitive advantage Obviously Trumpchi learned the high-end of the lesson overpriced SUV Chinese brand like Luxgen large SUV 7 seats and Haval H8 and H9 at such a competitive price, the GS8 can still offer the design of high-level products, quality and technical specifications, and it is even equipped with safety systems active hi-tech as AEB, FCW and LDW, which are not easy to find in another SUV of the same class So yes, the GS8 is very likely to become a seller hot local brand in this class another reason is that Chinese people love space.
The GS8 is very likely to become a hot local brand vendor in this class.
The GAC Trumpchi is a star among the local brand cars GS4 contributes its sales by almost 40 000 vehicles per month, and the same make higher profits than some of the GAC Group under joint ventures merit being called a legend Now the company is about to launch the GS8, targeting Is it the growing segment of the large SUV market 7 seats become another hot seller.
Q Today, quality is not a problem for many local brands What is most important is the appearance When the GS8 came out, many people were impressed by his cool seems that you think.
AI was recently invited to GS8 for a test in Guangzhou As for its exterior design, two things caught my attention first, the front is really cool - not the rough and tough kind, but rather the elegant and noble kind cool Perhaps this is because the design and materials of the engine compartment, the grille and headlights are really impressive, I can not help thinking that if this kind of design have been applied to large SUV Hongqi, it might have much better sales; secondly, the back is a little disappointing, I do not think it really fits the front as it was a test, I could take a look at the GS8 different angles and distances, and I found that it looked a little different from what I saw at the auto show.
This car is not the greatest among SUV 7 seats in the same class, and the roof slopes down from front to back, making the rear window look a little too big for the back more the rear lights are quite low, and the wheel arches are flat on both sides of the body with a narrow wheel track All these factors have made up rather heavy look back together and not as cool as the before.
A It was pretty good The 148kw and 320Nm power performance is not very high among large and midsize SUVs, but starting power and rapid acceleration when driving at low speed both beyond expectations, and the gearbox is the engine well enough my take is that this could be the best car local brand in terms of driving experience during the test drive, the maximum speed is 140 km, and vehicle was still very stable wind noise was low, with a drag coefficient of only 0 34, which is in the foreground level in the SUV group.
The biggest surprise was that there was virtually no odor in the car I could feel was only a slight smell of leather, quite similar to what I experienced during the test drive Geely GL Emgrand the other day this is very important, especially for pregnant women, children and people sensitive to smells, I think now these local brand cars already offer a much better quality of the air car foreign brand products locally, but it is very expensive for this, so I am amazed again by the low price of these local brand cars.
Q You said that the GS8 is a medium sized to large SUV, a k a C-Class SUV, but some people argue that only a front suspension Macpherson low-end is not enough to qualify as an SUV GS8 C- class.
A They have a point, but the thing is that the classification of the sector is already messed In terms of technical specifications, some cars must be classified as Class B, that is what we usually call midsize cars, but in terms of body size, they are still larger than the class of cars C, or average size of large cars such as judged by their technical specifications, the Toyota Highlander, the Ford Edge and Nissan Murano should all fall into SUV class B, but in terms of body size, they are larger than the C class standards as the Volkswagen Touareg SUV and the Toyota Prado therefore it is not mistaken for the automaker to call a midsize car large, but it would be misleading to call it a C class car, you can say that it is a B or B, but it still falls in class B, because the size is just one of the c riteria this situation is common among sedans and SUVs of all classes, I think in this regard Geely is quite honest the Broy is large enough to be a Class C car and high specification as well, bu t Geely always defined as a vehicle of class B, and it turned out to be a hot seller this is a learning lesson worth it.
Q How do consumers generally distinguish these categories of cars, for example, the C and B class -class Now many car manufacturers use the modular platform strategy They can develop different classes of models on the same platform and occur on the same line Thus, it becomes more difficult to distinguish.
A That's correct, but simply speaking, we should first consider the suspension Suspensions of different structures and materials will have different functions and there will be a cost differential Then we should consider technical specifications, which requires us to have some knowledge about cars the best way is to look at the price, for example, under the same brand, an SUV will be a higher price than the sedan of the same class, and sometimes even near the sedan a higher class you can take a look at a Volkswagen's SUV class, the Tiguan, and B-class sedan, the Magotan and the Toyota RAV4, Highlander and Camry.
The presale price GAC Trumpchi GS8 is RMB Yuan from 169.800 to 259.800 Once it's on the market, the price will probably drop about 10,000 yuan RMB, which is much lower than the GA8, a sedan C -class under the same brand that reaches RMB Yuan 179800 299800 therefore, it would be strange to call a C-class SUV that is more, GS8 is also a price significantly lower than the so-called class of SUVs C - the Haval H8 happens to RMB 188800 256800 Yuan and H9 which reaches 209,800 272,800 RMB does it mean Trumpchi think his own high-end brand is lowest I donate Haval think t, because Thumpchi otherwise wouldn t the price of 106.800 to 153.800 GS4 RMB Yuan higher than its main competitor hot sale Haval H6 88800 138800 RMB Yuan.
Therefore, it is usually a reliable way to distinguish classes of vehicles by price, but only if you compare car models of the same type and level A car manufacturer can describe a class of car B as C-class based on some settings, but it will never sell it to a C-class price, because that would mean trick customers would sound silly to competition.
At present, there is a growing demand seven-seaters, but the choice is quite limited, especially for the 7 seater SUV Local SUV brand 7 seats on the market as BYD S7, Geely HQ SUV and the JMC Yusheng all prices are in the middle or low end, which is about 100,000-150,000 RMB Yuan BAIC Huansu the S3 is offered at the lowest price, which is RMB 61800 72800 Yuan GS8 arrived exactly at the right time is the only SUV class B with a starting price of 150,000 RMB Yuan, get a competitive advantage obviously Trumpchi learned the lesson of the premium out of Chinese SUV price brand like Luxgen large SUV 7 seats and Haval H8 and H9 at such a competitive price, the GS8 can still offer the design of high-level products, quality and technical specifications, and it is even equipped with hi-tech active safety systems such as AEB, FCW and LDW, not easy to find in any other SUV in the same class So yes, the GS8 is very likely to become a local hot seller brand in this class Another reason is that the Chinese people love space Many people may not need a SUV 7 seats, but they will find a spacious seven highly seats if only 5 seats are used.
Q Another question GAC Trumpchi contributes even higher profits in the GAC group that certain joint ventures, which is encouraging, but some people also wonder if this is to cut corners What do you think.
A Geely is also challenged in that a GAC Trumpchi officer told me that in addition to the multi-platform CMPA modular architecture that can effectively reduce the cost of development and manufacturing, purchasing parts can also reduce many costs Unlike joint ventures that rely on a relatively closed system provider, GAC Trumpchi selects suppliers through competitive bidding course Trumpchi can do this because, after years of experience, he is able to define its own coins Take for example standard chassis bolt joint venture buys these bolts of its Japanese supplier to RMB 160 Yuan price, but by public tender, Trumpchi GAC is able to purchase bolts of the same standard to another international supplier at a price of only 25 RMB Yuan did the same Geely in terms of purchasing parts of course, supply is a complex issue, where is still much worth digging for.
The low costs achieved by GAC Trumpchi can also be attributed to the production system GAC GPS, which is actually a replication of the Toyota TPS production system This is perhaps the most important thing GAC Trumpchi learned JV Japanese partners Toyota and Honda After effectively implemented, GPS not only reduces the reject rate and the improvement of production efficiency, which leads to lower costs, but also kept its very consistent products in mass production accordingly, Trumpchi GAC's reputation is rapidly improving in quality.
In addition, the major product of GAC Trumpchi, the GS4 is a high price model between the local brand of cars in the same class, which also brought considerable benefits for GAC Group.
Is this 7seat Trumpchi GS8 to sell Hot, this trumpchi, become seller.
