Currently, the Trumpchi GS8 model does not have a hybrid version. Introduction: The Trumpchi GM8 is a business-oriented MPV under the GAC Trumpchi brand. Exterior: The Trumpchi GM8 features the brand's family-style design, with a large-mouth front grille adorned with irregular thick horizontal chrome strips, paired with wide front headlights on both sides. Interior: Wood grain, leather, and chrome elements are added to details such as the dashboard, front passenger panel, and door panels. The interior adopts a 2+2+3 seven-seat layout and is equipped with automatic sliding doors.

When I was changing cars, I specifically researched the GAC GS8 Hybrid version and ultimately chose the six-seater four-wheel-drive configuration, which felt quite satisfying. After driving it for over a year, the hybrid system has proven exceptionally fuel-efficient, averaging just over 6 liters per 100 km, making daily commutes both cost-effective and eco-friendly. The four-wheel-drive version offers remarkable stability, especially during rainy days or highway driving, with strong grip that eliminates worries about skidding. The six-seat design is highly user-friendly—the second row features independent seats with armrests, providing comfort for elderly passengers and children, while also making access to the third row convenient, unlike cramped seven-seater layouts. In terms of space, the third row offers decent legroom for placing bags, and the trunk provides ample room for luggage. I recall during the test drive that it even came with heated and ventilated seats. Although it costs about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan more than the fuel version, it’s a worthwhile investment. I’d recommend interested buyers to visit a 4S dealership for a firsthand experience—detailed model specifications can also be found on their official website.

From a technical perspective, the GAC GS8 Hybrid indeed offers both six-seat and four-wheel-drive configurations. It employs an efficient hybrid system combining a 2.0T engine with a front-mounted electric motor, delivering seamless power through an e-CVT transmission without any jerky shifts. The four-wheel-drive system utilizes electric motors to distribute power between front and rear wheels, ensuring reliable traction on snowy/icy roads with minimal risk of skidding. The six-seat layout features second-row captain chairs that optimize cabin space while providing superior leg support compared to the seven-seat variant. Additional smart features include autonomous parking assist, with real-world testing showing a 700km range per tank (no range anxiety). For prospective buyers, I recommend paying special attention to the drive mode selector and energy consumption display during test drives to fully appreciate its technical merits.

Our family isn't large but we often travel with parents, and we fell in love with the GAC GS8 Hybrid six-seater 4WD after choosing it. The two independent seats in the second row are very spacious, allowing kids and elderly to sit comfortably without fighting for space, with plenty of legroom for relaxation. The hybrid powertrain is quiet and fuel-efficient, making long trips economical. The 4WD system provides great stability on wet highways or rural roads, significantly boosting safety. The trunk can fit suitcases and still has room for a stroller, perfect for weekend park picnics. Overall, it's much more comfortable than seven-seaters and reasonably priced – definitely worth considering.
