Bitauto Original When the second-generation GS8 was just released in October last year, I once took a Trumpchi second-generation GS8 dual-engine engineering vehicle for fuel consumption testing. During that relatively casual drive, the fuel consumption of Trumpchi's second-generation GS8 was measured at 6.57L/100km for long distances and 5.68L/100km for weekend outings. The overall performance was quite satisfactory.
However, there was no rush hour during the last test, and many consumers who are holding on to wait and see also want to know how the Trumpchi second-generation GS8 hybrid version performs in terms of fuel consumption during daily commuting.
So, I came to test its fuel consumption again!
As for the test vehicle, I got the second-generation GS8 dual-engine four-wheel drive premium version, with a guide price of 246,800 yuan.
In terms of power, the second-generation Trumpchi GS8 is equipped with a 2.0TM engine and a hybrid composed of Toyota THS hybrid The power system has a maximum engine power of 140kW and a maximum torque of 320Nm. The front and rear electric motors have maximum powers of 134kW and 40kW respectively.
For this trip, I chose to start from the Tianhe Software Park in Guangzhou, which has the largest number of cross-city commuters and the largest traffic volume. It passes through urban roads, expressways and expressways. , try to restore the one-day commute of the "cross-city migratory bird", which is about 120 kilometers.
Fill up the car with oil before setting off. In order to ensure the accuracy of the test, fill the oil to a visible liquid level.
The entire congested road section is 12.7km, with an average speed of 24km/h. At this time, the average fuel consumption is 6.7L/100km.
Driving on congested roads, the hybrid system showed excellent smoothness, the power output was quite adequate, and there would be no discomfort caused by intrusions in stop-and-go traffic conditions.
The entire urban expressway section is 36km, with an average speed of 58km/h. At this time, the average fuel consumption is 6L/100km.
The highway section is 60km long, with an average speed of 60km/h. At this time, the average fuel consumption is 5.4L/100km.
On highways and urban expressways, the hybrid system of Trumpchi's second-generation GS8 can provide excellent acceleration response. Due to the instant acceleration assistance of the front and rear motors, as long as you step on the accelerator, the power will be available. I can keep up with it, and the acceleration process can give me a good feeling of pushing my back.
And even if the speed is 100km/h, as long as you step on the accelerator, you can still feel that the vehicle has ample power reserve and can still keep up with the driver's acceleration intention.
The last section is the urban expressway, with a mileage of 6km and an average speed of 24km/h.At this time, the fuel consumption indicated by the meter is 5.3L/100km.
After reaching the end point, I added the oil to the visible liquid level again. A total of 4.78L of fuel was consumed during the whole journey. Combined with the total mileage of 114.7 kilometers, the comprehensive fuel consumption was 4.17L/ 100km, based on the final fuel price of 6.85 yuan/L, the equivalent fuel cost per kilometer is 2.8 cents.
Written at the end
Driving during peak period this time, it took 2 and a half hours to simulate the time and distance of a migratory bird’s daily commute in the city, and finally tested the second-generation Trumpchi GS8 The fuel consumption is 4.17L/100km. The fuel cost of less than 3 cents per kilometer can save consumers a lot of daily expenses and reduce the number of trips to the gas station. They can drive it to and from get off work with confidence.
Judging from the two different hybrid versions of the two fuel consumption tests (two-wheel drive and electric four-wheel drive), Trumpchi’s second-generation GS8 definitely does not need to worry too much in terms of fuel consumption and driving quality. Yes, no matter how you drive such a big car, the fuel consumption is at a relatively low level.
However, from the perspective of driving experience, the acceleration response of the dual-engine four-wheel drive version will be more exciting and faster than the two-wheel drive version, so if you like the second-generation GS8 dual-engine version, your budget will be relatively sufficient. In this case, I still recommend the dual-engine four-wheel drive version.
