The Trumpchi GS4 is a domestic car. Here are the specific details about the Trumpchi GS4: 1. The Trumpchi GS4 is positioned as an SUV and was officially launched in April 2015. There were eight models available at launch, giving consumers flexible options when purchasing. The overall design of the car meets the aesthetic standards of young people, especially the bold and imposing front face. It looks dynamic when in motion and stately when stationary, attracting many consumers. The design concept combines international design with Chinese aesthetics, meticulously crafting every line and surface, bringing a fresh change to the vehicle's overall performance. 2. In terms of interior, it adopts the Trumpchi family's wing-shaped horizontal design layout. The piano black lacquer decorative elements extend elegantly to the doors, giving the interior a high-tech feel and elevating the overall quality. The design around the center console is also user-friendly, with the screen, elongated buttons, and bottom buttons arranged in an orderly manner, complemented by exquisite chrome decorations, making the interior more refined. The gear shift lever uses a high-end matte chrome pull-rod style, enhancing both practicality and the upscale feel of the interior. 3. In terms of power, it features the all-new Trumpchi second-generation 200T engine, paired with the START-STOP engine start-stop system, significantly improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions. This engine delivers a peak torque of 202Nm within the 1500-4200rpm range and is matched with a rapid-shifting 7-speed G-DCT dual-clutch transmission.

The Trumpchi GS4 is indeed a domestic vehicle. GAC Trumpchi is a brand under the GAC Group, with its headquarters and production base located in Guangzhou. My relative bought a GS4 Plus last year, and the entire vehicle, from design to manufacturing, was completed by domestic teams. The engine used is GAC's self-developed 2.0T Juelang Power. This car is positioned as a mid-range domestic SUV, priced at just around 150,000 yuan, which is more than a third cheaper than joint-venture cars of the same size. Nowadays, many young people buy domestic cars for their cost-effectiveness. The GS4 is packed with practical features, including a panoramic sunroof and ADAS driving assistance. However, it's worth noting that the resale value of domestic cars is indeed lower than that of joint-venture brands, and you might lose more when selling it after five years.

As an average car owner, I've been driving my Trumpchi GS4 for over two years, and I can confirm it's a domestic vehicle. Manufactured by GAC in their Pearl River Delta factory, the body nameplate clearly states 'Made in China.' Domestic cars have made significant progress in recent years. I initially chose the GS4 mainly for its spacious interior—the rear seats offer enough room to cross your legs, making family trips particularly convenient. However, to be honest, there are still some minor issues, like the infotainment system occasionally freezing and requiring a restart to recover. Nowadays, domestic cars are becoming increasingly competitive. Maintenance costs for models like the GS4 are quite affordable—an oil and filter change costs just 400 RMB, and parts are easier to find compared to joint-venture cars.

I know this car inside out! There are three different model years of GS4 parked in my neighborhood, all domestically produced in Guangzhou. GAC has put serious effort into its own brand—the new GS4 features an aluminum hood for weight reduction and even comes with a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Domestic SUVs these days love loading up on features; just look at how the mid-trim already includes a 360-degree camera and heated seats, making reversing in the rain super stable. But when chatting with friends about common issues with domestic cars, everyone agrees the GS4's sound insulation is just average, with noticeable tire noise at highway speeds. Considering its price of around 130,000 RMB, these are acceptable trade-offs—after all, at the same price point, you might not even get a parking sensor with a joint-venture car.
