Electric Technology Car News: How to choose a hard-core SUV? Trumpchi's new GS7 vs. Harvard H7
Launching two or even more cars at the same time is a common strategy used by domestic automakers. For example, Harvard's H6, H7, and H9 correspond to different audiences. Another example is Trumpchi. GAC Trumpchi's GS8, which was recently launched, has won a lot of fans with its domineering European and American appearance. Taking advantage of the popularity of GS8, Trumpchi has launched a new mid-size SUV GS7, which will debut at the Shanghai Auto Show on April 19 and is expected to be launched in June.

GS7 can be seen as the short-axle 5-seater version of GS8, with a wheelbase of 2720mm, which is in line with the positioning of a mid-size SUV. The front face design of GS7 is quite similar to GS8, and it uses the highly praised high-value headlights. It is really difficult to distinguish GS7 from GS8 just by looking at the front of the car.

In terms of body size, the length, width and height are 4730*1910*1770mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2720mm. Compared with GS8, the length and wheelbase of GS7 are 80mm shorter.


In terms of interior design, the GS7 is basically the same as the GS8. The overall style is simple and elegant. The use of imitation carbon fiber decorative panels strengthens the layering of the center console and also tends to be sporty. However, the wood grain decorative panels on the GS8 are cancelled, which reduces the overall texture. In terms of configuration, the GS7 is equipped with an intelligent timely four-wheel drive system, and the 10.1-inch center console screen is also very eye-catching.
In terms of power, the new car is equipped with GAC's self-developed 2.0T engine, with a maximum power of 148kW (201PS) and a maximum torque of 300Nm. In terms of transmission, the new car will be matched with a 6-speed automatic transmission. It has dual overhead camshafts + intake and exhaust CVVT, and the addition of DLC coating greatly reduces the engine's fuel consumption.
Speaking of the competitor of Trumpchi GS7, the most obvious one is Haval H7, which is also in the 7 series. Speaking of H7, there is no need to introduce it much. With the success of its big brother H6, H7 is naturally popular. In terms of appearance, compared with H6, the front face of Haval H7 is flatter and wider, and does not continue the full design style. The visual experience is sharper. Compared with Trumpchi GS7, both have hard-line styles. Which one you like depends on personal preference. Comparing the rear styling of the two cars, Trumpchi GS7 and Haval H7 both continue their own classic designs, and they are very recognizable.
The interior of the Haval H7 is made of a variety of materials, including black soft materials, wood grain panels, and brown soft materials. The three materials are full of charm from top to bottom, and the sense of grade is very high. This is more pleasing than the monotonous Trumpchi GS4. From the densely packed buttons near the gear lever, it can be seen that the configuration of the H7 continues the richness and diversity of Haval, but there is no four-wheel drive function. The GS7 is equipped with it. Both audio and video systems use a 10.1-inch LCD screen and support knob control.
In terms of size, the wheelbase of H7 reaches 2850mm and the internal dimensions are also better than GS7. In terms of seats, both have good support and comfort, which is not inferior to joint venture cars.
In terms of power, Haval H7 uses a GW4C20A 2.0-liter direct-injection turbocharged engine, which is an upgraded version of the 2.0T engine of H9, with much higher power and torque. It is matched with a 6-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox, which is much stronger than GS7 with the same displacement, and is also Haval's strongest powertrain at present.
Generally speaking, both of them have taken the route of hard-core SUVs, and each has its own advantages in configuration, power and appearance. From the market segmentation strategies of independent manufacturers, we can see how hot the current domestic SUV market prospects are. It can also be predicted that the two same 7 series models, GS7 and H7, will inevitably fight in the near future.
