What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Trumpchi GS8?
2 Answers
According to official data, the Trumpchi GS8 has a 2.0T model with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 9.85 seconds. Factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time are as follows: Torque: Torque, in simple terms, represents the strength of the force. The greater the torque, the stronger the force pushing the vehicle, resulting in naturally faster acceleration. The Range Rover Evoque has a maximum torque of 320 Nm and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 9.6 seconds. The Trumpchi GS8 has a torque of 400 Nm and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 9.85 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission is the medium for transferring power, inevitably involving power loss. The higher the transmission efficiency, the better the acceleration performance. Generally, the ranking of transmission efficiency is as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The Trumpchi GS8 is equipped with an automatic manual transmission. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is called the power-to-weight ratio (unit is Hp/T). The greater the power-to-weight ratio, the faster the acceleration. The Range Rover Evoque has a power-to-weight ratio of 100 Hp/T and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 9.6 seconds. The Trumpchi GS8 has a power-to-weight ratio of 131 Hp/T and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 9.85 seconds.
I've been driving the GAC GS8 for quite some time, and it takes about 9 to 10 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h. For my 2.0T gasoline version, the actual test result is around 9.5 seconds. Although it's a seven-seater heavyweight with a body weighing nearly two tons, it handles starts and overtaking quite nimbly. The 252-horsepower engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission responds quickly, making highway overtaking effortless. Many factors affect acceleration, such as road conditions and tire condition—new tires make acceleration smoother. Fuel consumption is also well controlled; accelerating doesn't consume much fuel, and the average combined fuel consumption is 8 to 9 liters per 100 km in daily driving. As a family car, this speed is more than sufficient for everyday commutes. Safety-wise, the body is stable, and it doesn't skid during rapid acceleration. It's advisable to check the spark plugs and fluids during maintenance to maintain good acceleration performance, ensuring a worry-free and practical long-term driving experience.
