2 Answers
The electric door switch for the Trumpchi GM8 is located in the control area on the lower left side of the steering wheel. The vehicle is equipped with a passenger-side electric sliding door, which can be opened and closed using the in-car switch. The electric sliding door can also be operated via a wireless remote control. There are a total of 2 switches inside the car to operate the electric sliding door. Below is a detailed introduction: 1. Exterior: The GAC Trumpchi GM8 Master Edition boasts a majestic and imposing appearance, featuring a chrome-plated front grille with a light shield design and matrix LED headlights, delivering a strong visual impact. The side profile adopts a luxurious yacht-inspired three-dimensional design, adorned with abundant chrome trim, exuding a sense of premium luxury. The rear side windows and rear windshield privacy glass, along with the bilateral electric sliding doors, further enhance its upscale positioning. The rear design is broad and stable, with horizontal full-width LED taillights significantly elevating the sense of sophistication and recognition. The bilateral 'L'-shaped chrome-plated accents and continuous exhaust outlets inject dynamic vitality into the rear. The new model measures 5156/1884/1822 mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 3000 mm, which is longer than the standard version. 2. Interior: The interior design of the new model remains consistent with the standard version, featuring a yacht-inspired wraparound cockpit design. The extensive use of high-quality soft-touch materials, combined with piano black and matte chrome trim, creates an exceptionally luxurious cabin atmosphere. It is equipped with a yacht-style chrome gear lever and 32-color adjustable LED ambient lighting, among other premium features. 3. Powertrain: Under the hood, the new model is powered by GAC's third-generation 390T direct-injection turbocharged engine (2.0T), delivering a maximum output of 185 kW and a peak torque of 390 Nm, paired with an Aisin 8-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving the GAC GM8 for two years now, and it's been my go-to vehicle for client transportation. The electric sliding door controls are actually quite convenient, mainly divided into two types: interior and exterior controls. Inside the car, there's a dedicated door-opening button on the control panel to the left of the steering wheel—just press it, and the door slides open automatically. There are also buttons on the rear armrest, so passengers in the middle seats can operate them too. For opening the door from the outside, simply press the small square on the door handle while carrying the key—the sensor is very responsive. Once on a rainy day, I was holding files and couldn't free my hands, so I lightly nudged the handle with my knee, and it still opened. By the way, the button with the door icon on the remote key is the most practical—press it from two or three meters away, and the door opens automatically, which clients often praise as classy. After using it for a while, I found that the door opening and closing speed can even be adjusted in the central control screen—slowing it down for elderly passengers makes getting in and out safer.
