Compared with the 7-seat SUV that is stretched in space, we always say that the medium and large MPV is the final destination of the 7-seat. And compared with the battery life anxiety of pure electric models, we also say that plug-in models that can be fuel and electric are more suitable for today’s new energy era. But after the MPV model and plug-in hybrid power achieve a strong combination, the problem comes again. Which model is the best?
Perhaps my previous answer would have been the D9, but now I would advise you to consider the Trumpchi E9.
On May 21, GAC Trumpchi ushered in the official listing of its Trumpchi E9 in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. The new car launched a total of 3 configuration models this time, and the official price range is 32.98-38 9,800 yuan. Although the official price is very close to the previous pre-sale price, this time the official brought five listing gifts and "ten times love" courtesy, so it is still a lot more affordable in comparison.
Due to the reputation of the Trumpchi M8 Guru series, the Trumpchi E9, as the follow-up masterpiece of GAC Trumpchi’s MPV models, will undoubtedly have higher expectations from both consumers and manufacturers. This is not the case. The launch conference has been held in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. If nothing else, the layout is still very sufficient. But the layout is one thing, and product strength is the key to purchasing. Let’s take a look at what highlights the Trumpchi E9 has and whether it lives up to this expectation.
In the Trumpchi M8 grandmaster series, what impresses me particularly is its design. To be precise, it is the front face of the "Chinese Lion Dance". People who see it will undoubtedly not sigh noble or domineering, so in the Trumpchi E9, this design has been continued. But in order to meet the diverse needs of consumers and differentiate from the M8 grandmaster series, the Trumpchi E9 also brings a new set of designs, that is, the front face of the "Kunpeng Spreading Wings".
The grille part is composed of 6 chrome-plated trim strips, forming a borderless effect, while the origin of the name Kunpeng Spreading Wing is more reflected in the light group part. After the derivation of the end light group, it brings more visual changes on the basis of the previous "7" font, and the gradual light group looks like the spread of wings after lighting. In contrast, the front face of "Kunpeng Spreading Wing" reduces some business atmosphere and adds a lot of new energy atmosphere, which is more recommended for personal use.
In terms of size, the length, width and height of the Trumpchi E9 are 5193/1893/1823mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 3070mm. Although the length is slightly reduced compared to the Trumpchi M8 Guru series, the rest of the parameters remain the same, so there will be no obvious difference in the space performance of the car.
On the side and rear, the Trumpchi E9 shares many similarities with the Trumpchi M8 Guru series, such as the suspended roof, the Z-shaped body line, the "7" shaped through-the-tail lights, and so on. However, we can still distinguish through some details, such as the Trumpchi E9 is equipped with a new style of chrome roof decoration and wheel hub style, and brings its own PHEV logo and black background logo.
In terms of interior, the central control layout of the front row of the Trumpchi E9 "Swan Up" and the "Flying Up Three Screens" composed of 12.3-inch combined driving control instrument + 14.6-inch super suspended central control screen + 12.3-inch co-pilot entertainment screen complement each other, satisfying the technological atmosphere while also having a luxurious texture. And the Trumpchi E9 also brings two different styles of interior color schemes, "Yunshan Zhushui" and "Opera Palace", which will further satisfy consumers’ diverse choices.
The second row is the golden zone of MPV models, and the Trumpchi E9 is also equipped with a particularly cutting-edge configuration, such as the semi-aniline high-grade leather fabric air seat it is equipped with, which not only supports ventilation, heating and massage, but also brings a more convenient "one-click SPA" function. With the headrest sound and a rear entertainment screen up to 15.6 inches, the comfortable experience is self-evident.
In terms of power, the Trumpchi E9 will be equipped with a plug-in hybrid system composed of a 2.0T engine + motor. In terms of transmission, it is matched with a 2-speed DHT gearbox that is more suitable for plug-in hybrid systems. The comprehensive power of the system can reach 274kW, and the comprehensive torque of the system can reach 630N · m. Under such strong power, the Trumpchi E9 also has excellent fuel economy. Under WLTC conditions, the comprehensive fuel consumption for 100 kilometers is only 1.2L, while even in the case of power loss, the fuel consumption is only 6.05L.
As we said earlier, the biggest advantage of plug-in power is not the strong power, but the compatibility of oil and electricity. Under WLTC conditions, the pure electric cruising range of the Trumpchi E9 can reach 106km, which is not very eye-catching, but it is more than enough to meet our daily urban commuting. The comprehensive cruising range of the Trumpchi E9 is very good. Under CLTC conditions, it can achieve a cruising range of 1032km. Although such data has achieved the same level of leadership, according to previous media measurements, the ultimate cruising range of the Trumpchi E9 can even reach 1442km, which is enough to describe it as exaggerated.
Do Li Jun’s language:
No matter from the look and feel or experience, the Trumpchi E9 can hardly find fault at the price of the 300,000. Of course, even the Japanese luxury MPV with a price of over one million is the same, or even slightly better. In the face of such extreme cost performance and quality and price ratio, even if the "story" of the Japanese luxury MPV is wonderful, it seems a little pale, especially in today’s more inclusive and younger car market, the main force of the Trumpchi E9 is undoubtedly more competitive. So with the same budget, would you choose the Trumpchi E9?
