What is the ground clearance of the Trumpchi GS8?

[SimonDella]

The ground clearance of the Trumpchi GS8 is 200mm, which fully ensures the vehicle's off-road capability and passing ability. Ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the car (excluding the wheels) and the supporting plane when the car is fully loaded and stationary, used to characterize the car's ability to pass obstacles such as rocks and stumps without collision. The Trumpchi GS8 is a mid-size SUV produced by GAC Motor, with dimensions of 4835mm in length, 1910mm in width, and 1765mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2800mm. The exterior headlights of the vehicle feature a matrix-style full LED lamp group, with four LED light sources inside, providing a very refined visual effect. The taillights also have a very distinctive design, adopting a double U-shaped design that echoes the shape of the headlights, with a highly layered interior.

I just bought a GAC GS8 and have been using it for almost half a year. According to official data, the ground clearance is 196mm when unloaded, which is about 20cm high. This is considered above average among SUVs, making it quite easy to drive on city roads and suburban dirt roads. However, when fully loaded with passengers and cargo, it can drop to around 170mm, so you need to be careful not to scrape the undercarriage. The height has many advantages, such as being less prone to water ingress during rain or snow and less likely to get stuck when going over bumps. For daily driving, especially if you frequently travel in mountainous areas, I would recommend regularly checking the tire pressure, as too low pressure can affect the actual height. Overall, it feels very safe and reliable, unlike some low-slung sedans where you constantly worry about scraping. You can also confidently take it on road trips.

I once helped a friend adjust the chassis ground clearance of a Trumpchi GS8 at a repair shop. The standard unladen ground clearance is approximately 196mm, which refers to the vertical distance from the lowest point of the undercarriage to the ground. In actual driving, factors like weight distribution, suspension condition, or aftermarket modifications can affect this measurement—for instance, a 200kg load might reduce it to around 180mm. This height is chosen to strike a balance between comfort and off-road capability, significantly outperforming typical sedans (150mm) while remaining lower than hardcore off-road vehicles. For routine maintenance, pay attention to suspension wear and tire pressure—measurements can be taken simply with a ruler. Maintaining proper clearance minimizes undercarriage damage and extends vehicle lifespan, especially when crossing speed bumps at moderate speeds.

The ground clearance of the GAC GS8 is typically around 196mm, which is practical and stable. This measurement makes it quite popular among SUVs, easily handling curbs or puddles in daily driving, though it's not designed for professional off-roading. Compared to my sedan, the extra 50mm provides more peace of mind, especially reducing the risk of water accumulation after rain. Remember, loading or driving on slopes can reduce the actual clearance, so it's advisable to visually check the cleanliness of the undercarriage before driving to avoid minor obstacles causing trouble.
