Electric Technology Car News: Starting from 80,000 yuan, can Haval Changan Trumpchi GS3 break the pattern of small SUVs?

The development of GAC Trumpchi in the past two years can be said to be booming. The sales of GS4 are close to Haval H6 and have been rising all the way, creating the fastest growth rate of Chinese brand SUVs. Later, Trumpchi GS8 also achieved a breakthrough for Chinese brands in the field of large and medium-sized SUVs. As the SUV strategy has begun to show results, Trumpchi is also brewing more models in more market segments, including the GS3 that will soon be available to us.

At first glance, the Trumpchi GS3 looks like a smaller version of the GS4. Positioned as a small SUV, it is priced at 80,000 to 120,000 yuan. Its competitors include the Baojun 510 and Haval H2s. The family-style Lingyun Wing front face adopts a double banner design, with halogen headlights with perspective mirrors on both sides. The headlight group is of a standard style, and the lines fit the center grille very well, giving it a strong sense of integrity.

The floating roof design also appears on the Trumpchi GS3. The shape of the rear part is very eye-catching. The 18-inch two-color wheel rims are good, a bit like the Tomahawk wheel rims. Not only that, they are also matched with Michelin tires, which is very authentic. The top two-color rear spoiler is young and sporty, echoing the shark fin antenna, and the high-mounted brake light is embedded inside.

The biggest feature of the Trumpchi GS3 is its clear layout. Each functional area is clearly divided, which does not give people a messy feeling. The center console and air-conditioning vents are embedded with golden metal decorative strips, which is a very avant-garde design. The center console is wrapped with a large area of ​​imitation leather material, which not only looks good, but also feels smooth to the touch.

The steering wheel is of suitable size and feels a little hard, which is in line with the average level of this level of cars. The multi-function steering wheel button area is clearly divided, the button damping is a little loose, and the feel is average. The traditional mechanical instrument panel of Trumpchi GS3 does not have many features, and the central LCD screen displays relatively rich information. The 8-inch multimedia system has a clear display, the operation interface is easy to use, and it is also very smooth to use.

In terms of power, the Trumpchi GS3 is equipped with a 1.3T turbocharged engine with a maximum output power of 137 horsepower and a peak torque of 202 Nm.

As a small SUV positioned lower than the Trumpchi GS4, if the Trumpchi GS3 wants to gain market share, its price must not overlap too much with the GS4. The official pre-sale price is currently 80,000 to 120,000 yuan. If the top-equipped GS3 model can be priced at around 110,000 yuan, then combined with its outstanding exterior design, configuration and space sufficient for family use, the Trumpchi GS3 is likely to gain sales.
