Is GAC Trumpchi a Joint Venture or Domestic Car?
2 Answers
GAC Trumpchi is a domestic car brand, which is a wholly-owned independent brand under GAC Group. Its product lineup includes sedans, SUVs, and MPVs. The main models of Trumpchi include: Trumpchi GA6, Trumpchi GA8, Trumpchi GS8, Trumpchi GS4, Trumpchi GM6, and Trumpchi GM8. Taking the Trumpchi GS4 as an example, it is a compact SUV with a body size of 4545mm in length, 1856mm in width, and 1668mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2680mm. It is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 1.5L Atkinson cycle engine and a GMC electric coupling system.
I remember buying a GAC Trumpchi GS4 a few years ago, and I was quite impressed with its reliable quality. Many people mistakenly think GAC Trumpchi is a joint-venture brand because it's backed by GAC Group, but it's actually a purely domestic Chinese brand. Although GAC Group has collaborative projects with Toyota and Honda, Trumpchi is entirely independently developed, from design to production, all handled in China. When I drive it for my daily commute, its power and fuel efficiency are on par with Japanese joint-venture cars, which really surprised me. The progress of domestic cars has been remarkable, and Trumpchi is a living example, especially popular in the SUV segment. Some always claim joint-venture cars are better, but I think Trumpchi, as a representative of domestic cars, offers great value for money and is perfect for daily family use. If you're worried about quality, its extended warranty period now provides good peace of mind.
