What engine does the GAC Trumpchi GS8 have?
2 Answers
Trumpchi GS8 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, model 4B20M1, which is the same as the engine on the GA8, but with different tuning. Here is the introduction of the Trumpchi GS8 engine: 1. The 4B20M1 is GAC's second-generation 320T engine, featuring an aluminum cylinder head and cast iron cylinder block. 2. Derived from Fiat Chrysler's 2.0T (direct injection turbo technology, turbocharging system, dual independent variable valve timing system), it does not use cylinder direct injection technology but adopts the GCCS combustion control patent technology in the combustion chamber, reducing fuel consumption by 15% and increasing combustion speed by 22%. However, the maximum power is only 145 kW, and the maximum torque is only 320 Nm, indicating average performance. It ranks in the upper-middle level among the second-generation domestically developed engines, sharing similar pros and cons with common domestic engines.
I've driven the GAC Trumpchi GS8, which is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine. The power output is quite impressive—it accelerates quickly in city driving and makes highway overtaking effortless. I remember one long trip to the suburbs where the engine ran smoothly and quietly, with fuel consumption well controlled, averaging around 9L/100km. For daily commutes or family trips, this engine design is mature and reliable, delivering a spirited drive with responsive acceleration. GAC has made significant upgrades to its engine technology in recent years, and this GS8 enjoys a strong reputation in the market, with many buyers drawn specifically to its performance. Driving an SUV should feel like this—powerful yet comfortable, offering great value for the price.
