What engine does the Trumpchi GM8 have?

[Iris]

Trumpchi GM8 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine. The turbocharged engine utilizes exhaust gases to drive the turbine, increasing the engine's air intake to enhance power. Taking the 2018 Trumpchi GM8 as an example, it is an MPV with the following dimensions: length 5066mm, width 1923mm, height 1822mm, wheelbase 3000mm, fuel tank capacity 68L, and curb weight 2002kg. The 2018 Trumpchi GM8 features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is powered by a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum horsepower of 201PS and a maximum torque of 320Nm.

The new Trumpchi M8 now uses the 4B20J1 engine, which is a 2.0T turbocharged engine independently developed by GAC. I've been driving this car for almost two years, and the most noticeable feeling is that the start is particularly stable. It doesn't jerk when stepping on the accelerator, and there's no pressure when climbing hills with the whole family on board. The maximum horsepower is 252, which is a significant improvement over the old model, making overtaking on highways particularly easy. The matched Aisin 8AT transmission shifts very intelligently, and you can hardly feel any jerks during traffic jams. Maintenance is relatively worry-free; the manual says it only needs servicing every 10,000 kilometers, but I prefer to get it checked a bit earlier.

Last time I accompanied my friend for a test drive of the Trumpchi M8, the salesperson specifically introduced this 4B20J1 engine. It uses 350bar high-pressure direct injection technology, delivering particularly quick power response at low speeds. When I drove it myself, I noticed the power output was very linear when stepping on the accelerator, completely unlike some MPVs that feel sluggish. The fuel consumption also surprised me - for such a heavy vehicle, it's about 10L/100km in the city and just over 7L/100km on the highway. The engine compartment layout is quite reasonable, allowing air filter replacement without removing a bunch of components.

Compared to MPVs in the same price range, the 2.0T engine in the Trumpchi M8 is definitely a highlight. It delivers significantly more power than the Odyssey's 2.4L naturally aspirated engine, especially when fully loaded. GAC's powertrain calibration is quite mature - there's some noticeable noise during cold starts, but it smooths out once warmed up. Most importantly, the transmission is well-matched, with no obvious drag sensation during deceleration and downshifting.

From a technical perspective, the GM8's engine is quite interesting. It utilizes a twin-scroll turbocharger, which significantly reduces turbo lag. The cylinder head features an integrated exhaust manifold design, making warm-up faster and particularly practical in winter. I've observed its combustion efficiency - the fuel injector layout creates better tumble flow, resulting in good fuel consumption control. However, I recommend regular inspection of the turbo piping as rubber components are prone to aging and air leaks.

After driving my friend's Trumpchi M8, what impressed me most was the engine's smoothness. This 2.0T engine can deliver 390 Nm at just 1500 rpm, making city driving effortless without needing to press the accelerator deeply. The engine mounts are designed to be relatively soft, effectively filtering out vibrations. My family members in the back seats even said it's quieter than the GL8. It's recommended to use 0W-20 full synthetic oil, with maintenance at the 4S shop costing around 700 yuan each time. On several long trips, I noticed the thermal management is excellent—the water temperature remained stable even after five or six hours of continuous driving.
