The differences between Trumpchi GS4 and GS5 are: 1. Different body dimensions: GS4 has a body length of 4545mm, width of 1856mm, height of 1668mm, and a wheelbase of 2680mm; GS5 has a body length of 4695mm, width of 1885mm, height of 1726mm, and a wheelbase of 2710mm. 2. Different curb weights: GS4 has a curb weight of 1480kg; GS5 has a curb weight of 1517kg. Both the Trumpchi GS4 and GS5 are equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 124kW and a maximum torque of 265Nm, matched with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission.
As a parent who often takes the whole family on trips, I feel the biggest differences between the Trumpchi GS4 and GS5 are in size and comfort. The GS4 is a compact SUV, about 4.5 meters long, making it agile in the city and easy to park, with rear seats comfortably accommodating four people. The GS5 is slightly larger at around 4.7 meters, offering more spacious rear legroom and a trunk that fits bulky luggage more easily. Both models use a 1.5T engine with similar fuel consumption of 7-8L/100km, but the GS5 has slightly higher horsepower for smoother acceleration. The GS4 starts at just over 100,000 yuan, making it affordable, while the GS5 costs about 20,000 yuan more with added comfort features like automatic air conditioning. For daily commuting, the GS4 is sufficient, but for long trips or families with children, the GS5's larger space is more comfortable and hassle-free.
As a tech-savvy young person, I noticed significant configuration differences between the Trumpchi GS4 and GS5. The base GS4 only has a small screen with basic reverse camera, while the GS5 comes standard with a 10-inch touchscreen supporting smart voice commands, navigation, entertainment, and seamless smartphone integration - much more convenient. On safety systems, the GS5 features adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking, whereas these only come with higher GS4 trims at extra cost, making driving feel more secure. The GS5 is slightly larger with better space utilization, though both share similar 1.5T powertrains adequate for daily use. The GS5 costs about 10,000-20,000 RMB more, but if budget allows, its smart features are worthwhile - especially for young users who appreciate these cool tech upgrades enhancing the driving experience.
In terms of cost performance, I think the GS4 offers better value. The GS4 is city-friendly with easy parking and slightly lower fuel consumption at 6.9L/100km. The GS5 has more space but starts at 20,000 yuan more with higher fuel consumption of 7.2L, meaning more money spent on gas. For daily use with four passengers, the GS4 is sufficient, and the GS5's advantages aren't significant unless you frequently move or carry lots of luggage. Both models are reliable with simple maintenance and cheap repairs. If you want to save money, the GS4 is practical and more than adequate.
