Is the GAC Trumpchi GS4 a domestic or joint-venture car?
2 Answers
The GAC Trumpchi GS4 is a domestic car. It is a compact SUV under the Trumpchi brand, with dimensions of 4510mm in length, 1852mm in width, and 1708mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2650mm. The front suspension of the GAC Trumpchi GS4 uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a multi-link independent suspension. The GS4 is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine across all models, delivering a maximum power of 169 horsepower and a maximum torque of 265 Nm. The GS4 features an 8-inch high-definition touchscreen, a Beidou + GPS dual-mode system with military-grade technology for smarter route planning and more precise navigation. It also comes with a reversing camera with dynamic guide lines and smartphone connectivity, offering higher sensitivity.
I think the matter of GAC Trumpchi GS4 is quite clear—it is indeed a domestic car. I've driven a friend's same model and specifically researched before purchasing. GAC Trumpchi is GAC Group's own brand, with production lines and R&D all based domestically. Many people get confused because GAC has indeed partnered with Toyota and Honda for joint ventures, but Trumpchi is entirely an independent proprietary brand. However, the technical origins are quite interesting—the first-generation Trumpchi chassis was based on an old Alfa Romeo platform, while the new-generation GS4 now uses the GPMA architecture developed entirely by GAC. Domestic cars have really stepped up their game in recent years, with more and more GS4s on the road. Just the other day at the car wash, I saw a new Moss Green model—it's truly impressive that domestic brands can achieve such design standards.
