2 Answers
Trumpchi GS4 is a domestic vehicle, belonging to the GAC Group brand. The Trumpchi GS4 is a compact 5-door, 5-seat SUV with body dimensions of: length 4545mm, width 1856mm, height 1668mm, and a wheelbase of 2680mm. It has a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters. The Trumpchi GS4 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine and a 6-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum power of 124 kW at 5000 rpm and a maximum torque of 265 Nm between 1700 to 4000 rpm. It features front-wheel drive, with a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension.
The Trumpchi GS4 is a purely domestically produced car, and I'm quite familiar with this brand. GAC Trumpchi is the proprietary brand of Guangzhou Automobile Group, wholly owned and operated by Chinese enterprises. Unlike the joint ventures under GAC, such as GAC Honda which is a collaboration with the Japanese, the GS4 is designed and manufactured entirely within China, with production bases in Guangzhou and other locations. There is no direct involvement of any foreign brands, so strictly speaking, it is not a joint venture car. Domestic cars have made significant progress in quality and innovation, and the Trumpchi GS4 is a prime example. It is built on a self-developed platform, offers high cost-performance, and sells well domestically. We car enthusiasts are quite proud of it.
