The Trumpchi GS8 is equipped with a 2.0T engine, with a combined fuel consumption of around 10 liters per 100 kilometers. In urban driving, it typically consumes about 12 liters, while on highways, it generally ranges between 8 to 9 liters. Below is an introduction to the GAC GS8: 1. Power. It features a 2.0TGDI engine with 350bar high-pressure direct injection technology, delivering a rated power of 185kW/5250(r/min) and a maximum torque of 390N·m/1750-4000(r/min). The 0-100km/h acceleration time is 10.1s (for two-wheel drive, enhanced by 12%), with a 22% increase in torque and a 25% increase in power, making hill climbing effortless. 2. Exterior. The new vehicle adopts more angular lines. The headlights feature a matrix-style full LED light cluster, with four LED light sources inside. The taillights adopt a dual U-shaped design, echoing the style of the headlights.

I've been driving the GAC GS8 for almost a year now, mostly in the city for daily commuting and weekend family trips. In terms of fuel consumption, it averages around 9 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers. In city traffic jams, it might jump to over 11 liters, while highway cruising can bring it down to about 7 liters. It feels decent but is a bit more fuel-consuming compared to some smaller cars. The spacious interior is indeed comfortable, though fuel consumption increases when fully loaded with luggage. I recommend maintaining a steady speed, avoiding sudden acceleration and braking, and using the air conditioning wisely to save some fuel. If you frequently drive on highways or in good road conditions, the fuel consumption will be more ideal. Overall, the GS8's fuel consumption is moderate, and driving habits have a significant impact.

As a car enthusiast, I'm particularly interested in the powertrain of the GAC GS8. It's equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, and its curb weight exceeds 1.8 tons. These factors contribute to a fuel consumption of around 10 liters per 100 km in urban conditions, which can drop to approximately 7.5 liters on the highway. Compared to other midsize SUVs like the Haval H6 or Honda CR-V, the GS8 has slightly higher fuel consumption but delivers stronger power output. Its aerodynamic design is commendable, making it somewhat more fuel-efficient than its peers in city traffic jams. During actual driving, the ECO mode can optimize fuel efficiency—I highly recommend trying it. Additionally, maintaining proper tire pressure and avoiding excessive load can help bring the combined fuel consumption closer to the 8.5-liter mark.

From an environmental perspective, let's discuss the GS8's fuel consumption. This SUV has an average combined fuel economy of 9L/100km, meeting the China VI emission standards. However, developing good driving habits is key to further improving fuel efficiency: gentle acceleration, anticipating braking, and reducing AC intensity can lower consumption to around 8.5L. Using cruise control on highways helps save fuel. Regular maintenance like oil changes and air filter cleaning improves combustion efficiency. For short trips, consider public transport or opt for hybrid versions of future models for better eco-friendliness. As a practical family vehicle, applying these fuel-saving techniques to the GS8 not only reduces carbon footprint but also saves money.
