Why was the Trumpchi GA4 discontinued?
2 Answers
Because the price of this car is relatively high, its appearance is too ordinary, the space is not large enough, and the brand influence is insufficient, the manufacturer chose to discontinue it. Below is the relevant introduction of the Trumpchi GA4: System configuration: The Trumpchi GA4 is equipped with intelligent safety driving assistance systems such as the German Bosch 9.1 version ESP vehicle electronic stability control system, HHC hill start assist system, EPB electronic parking brake, and AutoHold automatic parking function. The 360-degree panoramic parking imaging system, unique in its class, can comprehensively monitor driving conditions, displaying a 360-degree bird's-eye view on the central control screen, solving the problem of poor visibility in rainy weather, ensuring clear vision and safe driving even in the rain. Safety configuration: The Trumpchi GA4 also features comprehensive and robust passive safety configurations: designed with GAC high-strength body construction, built to C-NCAP 5-star collision standards, with high-strength steel of 600MPa grade and above accounting for 55%.
I used to drive a GAC Motor car and know the GA4 quite well. It was discontinued mainly because the market competition was too fierce, with models like the Geely Emgrand selling too well and taking away customers. As a domestic brand, GAC saw the sedan market shrinking, with everyone shifting towards SUVs and new energy vehicles, like the GM6 which became popular. The GA4 was produced for several years without major updates, its design became outdated, and driving it always felt lacking in technological features. Nowadays, car manufacturers focus on efficiency, and the GA4 production line had high costs but low returns, so discontinuing it allowed optimizing resources for electric vehicles and such. In short, this is the result of changes in the broader environment, and GAC may want to focus on hot-selling models. Personally, I think it's a pity, but it's a business decision.
