Chuanqi Commercial Vehicle Picture-How to Choose Medium and Large MPV, Deep Comparison between M8 and Buick GL8, New Soldiers in the Field

Challenge the joint venture MPV, Chuanqi M8 can give you more, test drive Chuanqi M8 has to say that independent automobile brands have begun to cross the era of barbaric growth and come and go. Now back to the stock age. The change of car buyers makes major OEMs have to consider the word-of-mouth and user experience of their products, and ignore the long-term solution only for the temporary sales, which will only become the next morning and a certain Thai. Therefore, calming down and polishing products may be the key to winning the future. Domestic cars have been exploring the road of "brand up" for many years, among which the prominence of WEY and LECK has made independent brands see hope-good products are always just needed by the market.

Back to the market segment, domestic mid-to high-end MPV models are mainly joint venture brands for a long time. Buick has occupied the first place in the domestic MPV sales list for a long time with GL8, followed by Honda Odyssey/Elysee, and even worse, Toyota Erffa has to queue up even if the price increase is several hundred thousand all the year round. I have to say that I really treat domestic consumers as leeks. Therefore, the entrance of domestic MPV Chuanqi M8, which is located in luxury business, seems to come at the right time.

Recently, Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi M8 was deeply tested. What's this car like? Let's have a look. Chuanqi M8 is positioned in luxury business MPV, so the previous Chuanqi GM8 was renamed Chuanqi M8. This * * * is divided into two versions-Master Edition and Leading Edition ***7 models, and the price is between 17.98-264800. This test drive is the top model of the leading show version, with a guide price of 264800. Through this test drive, let's see if M8 is worth the price.

Compared with the Master Edition, the front face of the M8 Leading Show Edition looks more harmonious and stable, which is more suitable for home use, while the Master Edition personally feels more suitable for business vehicles, which is mainly based on the different design styles of the front faces of the two versions. The front face of the leading version adopts the design style of Lingyun Wings, and the W-shaped chrome trim on the front bumper looks full of tension, which is also the place where Chuanqi M8 has made remarkable progress. The effect of the suspended roof is matched with the chrome trim on the upper edge of the window and under the door, which makes the whole car look three-dimensional and further highlights the sense of luxury.

In detail, the dark glass in the rear can give the rear passengers a good sense of private riding, and the square shape of the tail and the penetrating taillights are highly recognizable after being lit at night. Let's take a look at the 18 inch two-color hub-shaped movement. Michelin tires can also better reduce tire noise and bring better silence to the car.

Sitting in the car, the front row 12.3 inch LCD instrument and 10. 1 inch central control large screen make the whole car feel the cabin driving experience with a sense of science and technology in addition to the stable and noble business style. The whole central control large screen display effect is exquisite, the operation logic is clear and smooth, and the user experience is good, and a large number of commonly used physical buttons, such as air conditioners and volume adjustment buttons, are reserved. I have to say Chuanqi.

Since positioning the luxury business MPV, the automatic control requirements for the model will obviously be higher, and the performance of Chuanqi M8 Leading Show Edition in these aspects has not disappointed users; Personally, I feel that such a price can be configured with sincerity, and perhaps only domestic cars can be so conscientious.

For example, commercial vehicles must be equipped with electric double sliding doors as standard. Generally, commercial vehicles only provide two or three opening modes, but Chuanqi M8 provides five opening modes: car key, roof control panel, inner door handle, outer door handle and voice opening * * *, which can not only bring convenience to passengers, but also ensure high-end face.

It will be more appropriate to describe the interior of the whole vehicle with exquisiteness. The upgraded M8 has made more remarkable progress in the sense of science and technology. The operation of GAC ADiGO intelligent driving interconnection ecosystem and in-vehicle system has a good experience, such as the control experience of windows, navigation and voice. Of course, OTA upgrade is also supported. It is worth mentioning that because the back row is the "protagonist", the sense of participation in the ride is indispensable.

Therefore, the rear row is equipped with dual 10. 1 inch LCD screens, and the multi-user frame and dual-opening technology are adopted for the first time. The two large screens in the back row are driven by the same host Android system to meet the needs of passengers in different locations. This system is rich in functions, except for driving-related functions, such as multimedia, in-vehicle system, air conditioning and even seat adjustment control, which can be operated on the big screen in the back row, basically consistent with the central control big screen in the front row.

On the other hand, Chuanqi M8' s body is more than 5 meters and its wheelbase is 3 meters. Riding comfort and large space are the highlights that Chuanqi M8 has to mention. In addition to manual adjustment before and after, the backrest, leg rest and massage are all electric, and they are also equipped with heating and ventilation functions. These two functions are really suitable for both north and south, and are suitable for riding in all seasons. In addition, the second row of seats has added a foldable flat plate for placing cups and mobile phones, and also added a USB interface. However, the buttons of the folding board are hidden under the side, so it is inconvenient to press the buttons when folding, and this detail needs to be optimized.

Generally speaking, the second row, as the "protagonist", has done a good job in details such as ride participation and comfort, NVH control is also very standard and quiet. You should know that the configuration experience of Buick GL8 and Honda Odyssey at the same price is not satisfactory. Therefore, this is also the other side of the sincerity of domestic MPV.

As for the riding experience of the third row of space that everyone is most concerned about, the double skylights of the whole vehicle make the space experience of the whole vehicle more transparent. Adopt 2+2+3 seat layout, and the third row of seats supports 4/6 ratio. At the same time, it can be folded forward again after being laid down, leaving a large trunk space like an SUV. The key is that it has greater net depth and more load. Of course, if all seven seats are full, the trunk space will be enough. __8 with 2.0T? +? Compared with the engine of the old model, the power system of 8AT is modified to M8 equipped with the third-generation 390T engine of Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi, with the maximum power 185kW and the maximum torque of 390N.m The power response is faster at low speed, and it can give you the desired power output in time with the deepening of the accelerator pedal when overtaking and uphill.

Matching Aisin 8AT gearbox is more common in domestic high-end models. It can be seen that Chuanqi M8 is still willing to pay the cost. Of course, ride comfort is the main reason for choosing this gearbox. Whether it is following the car at low speed, shifting gears quickly or cruising at high speed, the ride comfort and comfort of driving are attributed to the good adjustment and matching of this power system.

Comfortable riding is inseparable from good chassis support. Chuanqi M8 continues the advantages of the old GM8 in chassis adjustment. The front McPherson+rear multi-link independent suspension can provide good support for the car body and also achieve very good shock absorption effect. The feedback of the whole ride is comfort, the roll is small when cornering, and there is almost no bump on the bumpy road. Although the body is more than 5 meters and the wheelbase is 3 meters, the whole vehicle is not cumbersome to drive, but it is more flexible than driving a medium-sized SUV.

Rich configuration has always been an important killer for independent brands compared with joint venture models, which can bring more advanced configuration to users and further improve the active and passive safety of the whole vehicle, but the latter is the key. Chuanqi M8 is no exception, 360 panoramic image, 8 airbags, ADiGO? L2 automatic driving assistance system (including active braking, lane keeping, adaptive endurance, automatic parking, intelligent speed limit cruise, overtaking braking of rear vehicles, etc.). Compared with the old active and passive safety configuration, both commercial vehicles and family cars are commendable.

In the context of the introduction of the 7-9 non-operating minibus inspection exemption policy, MPV models bear the brunt of the benefits. At present, the MPV market is growing, and the demand for business and home MPVs is increasing. Therefore, the arrival of Chuanqi M8 after the change is just right. Generally speaking, the whole vehicle can give you the needs from "face" to "lining", such as from exterior design to interior configuration, from ride comfort to good driving enjoyment. What the joint venture high-end MPV can give and what it can't give can be matched with Chuanqi M8. What more can you ask for a high-end business MPV with a top price of less than 270 thousand?

The brand-new Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi M8 was unveiled, and it is expected to be launched at the end of the month, with a width of 1884mm and a higher rear row. If we want to choose which domestic automobile manufacturer has invested the most energy in the MPV model market, then GAC Chuanqi should do its part. With the upgrading of consumption, more and more people begin to pay attention to MPV models, so the subdivision of MPV models is more perfect. At present, Chuanqi GM6 and Chuanqi GM8 under GAC Chuanqi Automobile have performed well, and the models of Chuanqi GM8 have been subdivided. Not long ago, Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi GM8 Master Edition went on the market and fought in a higher-end market. In addition, GAC Chuanqi will launch a brand-new Chuanqi M8 to improve performance. In fact, the new car is an upgraded version of GAC Chuanqi GM8, but the naming method has changed.

As a medium and large MPV model, Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi GM8 has always been relatively strong in comprehensive strength, but it still needs to invest more energy to impact the higher-end MPV model market. What an MPV can bring to consumers has become a topic in this level of vehicle market. Riding experience, driving experience, configuration, sound insulation, etc. They are all the standards they choose, so if they want to achieve good results, at least they should build an "impartial" model, while domestic models need to be polished and cared for because of their brand power. What is the upgraded Chuanqi M8 of GAC Chuanqi?

The appearance of the brand-new Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi M8 has been modified in many details. The spindle-shaped air intake grille gives people a fuller feeling. The lines of the whole grille are relatively straight, and the multi-banner middle net is more compact. The chrome-plated decorative strip on the package emphasizes the sense of high class. The headlight group of the new car is fully handled, and the lens in the headlight group is more round. After the slender LED daytime running lights are lit, the visual effect is excellent, and the straight line on the hood increases the sense of power.

The fog lamp areas on both sides are triangular in design, and the vertical layout emphasizes the three-dimensional sense. The U-shaped chrome trim around the decoration is a penetrating style with good integrity. The trapezoidal air inlet is quite slender. The body of the whole vehicle looks very thick, the B/C/D columns are painted in black, and the chrome trim on the top is just right. The waistline of the new car extends from the front position to the back, which lengthens the visual length.

The bottom of the new car door is decorated in a straight line, and the thick anti-collision strip enhances the sense of detail. The multi-frame wheels are exquisite, the taillights of the new car are through-type, and the visual effect of the slender high-position brake lights is very good. The tail of the new car is thick, the identification light bar at the tail is slender, and a penetrating decorative strip is adopted around it, which echoes the front face. The unilateral exhaust pipe improves the motion properties.

The interior of the new car looks more advanced. Most of the center console is wrapped in soft materials. The LCD instrument panel and the central control panel are basically in a straight line and inclined at a certain angle. The flat-bottomed steering wheel feels good, the electronic shift lever is round, and the surrounding is decorated with bright black decorative plates. There is more storage space in the car and the details are handled in place. The leather seat is soft and comfortable, and has a good riding feeling. The length, width and height of the new car are 5089 (5089.

The new Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi M8 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, which meets the national six emission standards. Transmission matching 8-speed automatic manual transmission. The maximum power 185kW, peak torque of 390n·m, fuel consumption of 8.3L per 100 kilometers and abundant power output.

Written at the end: After this upgrade, the competitiveness of the new Guangzhou Automobile M8 has been improved to a certain extent, and it is indeed more advanced. Domestic MPV models are still striving to impact the joint venture MPV model market. In fact, there is progress. Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi has invested heavily in the MPV model market, so the corresponding results will be improved. In the MPV vehicle market, "China Creation" is more likely.

The innate atmosphere, including the upcoming 2024 model, has three different sets of design languages in the most critical front face vision. Lingxiu series is Chuanqi's iconic Lingyunyi banner net, matrix LED headlights and compact front diversion holes. Let the front of the car look like a high-end business utility vehicle that takes a steady route.

After entering the master series,

Chuanqi M8

A more exquisite vertical waterfall was adopted. Sharp metal changes with different textures not only bring the distinction between light and shadow, but also strengthen the personality of headlights through internal blackening. Although the size of the diversion hole is still very small, the integrity is much stronger through the connection of the metal spoiler on the front lip of the front bumper, and it is also surrounded by more cold-toned sides, which makes it more sporty and becomes a luxurious personalized multi-function vehicle.

As for the upcoming 2024 models, whether it is the 2.0T fuel version or the twin-engine series,

Iterative remodeling of multiple regions has been completed. The net in the grille is still a vertical waterfall with sharp texture and changing light and shadow, but compared with the master series, it presents a trapezoidal style structure, reminding us.

The higher-end cars in the car series are bound to have some unique and noble design features.

In the front design, the overall turning point of the new GL8 Luzun front is sharper, the line trend looks like a warhead, and the streamline is sharp. In detail, the spread-wing matrix headlight group similar to the concept car is adopted, and the lamp group extends downward along the turning point of the fender, which is quite conceptual in design. The middle part is connected by narrow chrome trim strips, and the chrome side extends above the matrix lamp, which makes the design ending more natural and smooth.

The trapezoidal large-mouth air intake grille with great visual impact is adopted below, and chrome trim strips with exaggerated fangs are connected on both sides, which makes the front of the car quite fierce and domineering. The inside of the big mouth net is designed symmetrically, and the plaid decoration with chrome trim on the hypotenuse adds a sense of luxury to the details. This time, the new GL8 will match.

Buick

The latest shield logo, three independent shields embedded in the front of the car.

The side of the car body has also been completely redesigned. The starting point of the lower window line is lower, and the front two side windows are larger, so that the view inside the car will be more transparent. The side window line is lifted to the front end of the C-pillar, creating a chrome-plated curve, which makes the posture of the car more active.

At the same time, there is privacy glass in the back row, which is also a necessary configuration for this kind of high-end MPV.

The new GL8 car series will use electric retractable hidden door handles, which also makes the door opening more ceremonial. And this is the front design of the new GL8ES LUZun predicted for everyone.

The light group will use LED lens headlights, and the bottom is still designed with a large mouth net, but it is in an inverted trapezoidal layout, and eight horizontal chrome trim strips are used inside to enhance the visual width. Can make the front look more stable. Above the license plate is the preset of millimeter wave radar. The upper and lower grilles are separated by a chrome-plated decorative strip, which turns at the fender and looks a bit like a catfish beard. It seems that the nickname of GL8 business class on land will be changed from "fatty fish" to "catfish head".

The normal size of GL8 is 5238 mm *1878 mm *1776 mm and the wheelbase is 3088mm, while the size of M8 is 5149 mm *1884 mm *1822 mm and the wheelbase is 3000 mm

Although not as good as GL8 in length and wheelbase, all semi-aniline top leather seats and two rows of seats provide functions such as electric adjustment with lumbar support and independent leg rest/heating/ventilation/massage in the second row. In addition, it has been upgraded to Yamaha's stereo and suede with theatrical texture treatment. And its luxury grade is super high.

The second row of the two also uses independent aviation seats, and the configuration is similar. In terms of the third row of seats, both have their own advantages. The third seat cushion of GL8 is longer and more comfortable to sit on. The third row seat of M8 is relatively short, but it provides the function of moving back and forth, which is relatively novel.

The interior of the new generation GL8 basically continues the layout and design of the old GL8 interior. However, the dual-screen design of 12.3-inch LCD instrument panel and central control panel was adopted, and some details were also adjusted in the center console and the doors on both sides. The function buttons on the steering wheel have also been increased.
