The Trumpchi GS8 is available in 5 colors, which are: Elegant Black, Pearl White, Glacier Blue, Burgundy Red, and Coffee Brown. The dimensions of the Trumpchi GS8 are: length 4810 mm, width 1910 mm, height 1770 mm, with a wheelbase of 2800 mm. It has a fuel tank capacity of 66 liters and a curb weight of 1880 kg. The Trumpchi GS8 is equipped with a 2.0T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 148 kW (201 horsepower), paired with an Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission. It features a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of multi-link independent suspension.

Last year when choosing the color for my Trumpchi GS8, I did quite a bit of research. The official options included five standard colors: Elegant Black, Moonlight Gray, Pearl White, Inkstone Green, and Phantom Silver. However, it's worth noting that some higher-end models come with exclusive two-tone floating roof designs—for example, Pearl White paired with a black roof looks particularly premium. I personally ended up choosing Inkstone Green, which has a metallic sheen in sunlight and often prompts friends to ask about the special paint. Also, be aware that color availability can vary by production batch; Phantom Silver occasionally runs out of stock. I recommend comparing colors under different lighting conditions when viewing the car. Pearl White looks clean in the showroom, but Moonlight Gray's metallic flakes are more noticeable under outdoor sunlight. Darker colors require more frequent washing, while lighter shades are more practical and dirt-resistant.

As a frequent admirer of this model, I've noticed that the Motor GS8's five base colors each have their own distinct characteristics. The Elegant Black exudes a classic business vibe, the Pearl White is refreshing and timeless, the Moonlight Grey carries a touch of tech-inspired flair, the Phantom Silver looks particularly textured on rainy days, and the Onyx Green stands out the most. I also spotted a detail: the chrome trim on the rear bumper creates strikingly different effects on different colored bodies—it pops on black but stays understated on white. The two-tone version costs extra but does make the vehicle appear more elongated. Additionally, I've heard that the green and grey paints require higher craftsmanship for touch-ups, with some small shops struggling to match the shades accurately. If you're undecided, consider the sales data: Pearl White is most popular in southern China, while Onyx Green fares better in the north.

When accompanying a friend to pick up the GS8, I carefully compared all color options. Besides the standard black, white, and gray, the metallic finish of Phantom Speed Silver exceeded expectations, displaying a blue-purple gradient effect under light. Inkstone Green is the most unique—appearing like ink black in low light while revealing emerald hues under strong illumination. The salesperson mentioned color choice also affects resale value; three-year-old black, white, and silver models can fetch thousands more than colored ones. The recommended color-changing mirrors pair well with darker body colors. Remember to check the paint code, as subtle variations exist between batches of silver-gray. If frequently driving on highways, pure black is less advisable due to slightly lower nighttime visibility.

When our family voted on the color for the GS8, we were torn between Moonlight Gray and Phantom Silver. The dealer's color chart revealed that Moonlight Gray actually has a blue-gray tone, appearing more dimensional than in photos. Surprisingly, the pearl layer of Pearl White proved quite stain-resistant, with rain marks being less noticeable. In car owner groups, the Inkstone Green's color shifts under tree shade sparked lively discussions—resembling emerald in sunlight and turning into dark jade on rainy days. The two-tone body option costs 6,000 yuan but significantly enhances aesthetics, especially the floating black roof paired with a white body creating the most harmonious look. A reminder for friends in northern regions: dark paint shows winter de-icer corrosion marks more prominently, while light colors require less .

During last week's test drive of the Trumpchi GS8, I specifically compared the real-life effects of five color options. The pearl white exhibits a warm yellowish tone under strong sunlight, not a pure cool white. The phantom silver has a high metal-flake ratio, creating a subtle sparkling effect when viewed up close. An interesting observation: dark colors visually reduce the size of the grille, while light colors amplify the front fascia design. The color transition around the tailgate switch is meticulously handled, with the dark emerald green variant showing the strongest contrast with chrome accents. For frequent mountain road driving, phantom silver is recommended as it effectively masks dust accumulation. Interior color schemes are also influenced by body colors - black exterior paired with brown interior delivers the most luxurious feel.
