GAC Trumpchi GS5 uses two types of engines in total, one is a low-power version 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, and the other is a high-power version 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. Both of these engines are four-cylinder. The low-power version 1.5-liter turbocharged engine has 152 horsepower and a maximum torque of 235 N·m; the high-power version 1.5-liter turbocharged engine has 169 horsepower and a maximum torque of 265 N·m. The GAC Trumpchi GS5 is a medium-sized SUV under the Trumpchi brand. This car uses MacPherson independent suspension for the front suspension and multi-link independent suspension for the rear suspension. The multi-link independent suspension can improve the ride comfort and handling of the car.
I've been driving the GAC Trumpchi GS5 for almost two years now. This model mainly uses a 1.5T turbocharged engine, model number 4A15J1. The engine delivers 152 horsepower and 235 Nm of torque, paired with an Aisin 6AT transmission. The turbo kicks in quite quickly during startup, making city overtaking completely sufficient. However, last month when driving uphill on mountain roads with five people on board, it felt slightly underpowered. In terms of fuel consumption, daily commuting averages around 8-9 liters, which is considered moderate. The engine compartment layout is quite tidy, and changing the oil and oil filter during maintenance is convenient.
