Following the GM8, GAC Trumpchi once again made efforts in the MPV market, launching a GM6 that is one level lower than the GM8, with an official guide price of 10-160,000 yuan. Compared with the GM8, the pricing of the GM6 is significantly more family-oriented, further expanding Trumpchi's layout in the MPV market.

 

GM6 is very close to GM8 in terms of appearance, the front line is rounded, the compartment line is straight, try to increase the riding space in the compartment, the D-pillar adopts a suspended roof design, and the high-end model has privacy glass, which is more similar to GM8, but the size of GM6 is slightly smaller, and it is more family-oriented in terms of appearance, rather than having a business temperament like GM8. The GM8 reflects Trumpchi's design skills in MPV models, and the GM6 also has the meaning of decentralizing the design of high-end models, and there is nothing wrong with the exterior design.

 

GM6 has only one powertrain, that is, a 1.5T turbocharged engine with an Aisin 6-speed automatic manual transmission, although there will be a manual transmission model in name, but in fact the shipment is very small, and the configuration is low, so it is not recommended for everyone to buy. The GM6 1.5T engine is different from the one on the GS4, the GS4 is codenamed 4A15M1, with a maximum horsepower of 152 horsepower, while the GM6 is codenamed 4A15J1, equipped with in-cylinder direct injection, twin-scroll turbo, intake and exhaust variable valve timing, the technical level is higher than that of 4A15M1, and the power tuning is also a little more aggressive, with a maximum horsepower of 171 horsepower and a maximum torque of 265 Nm.

 

Driving control has never been the strong point of MPV models, GM6 is the same, the book data of the engine seems to be very good, and the 000 acceleration score can also be done in 11 seconds, which is very good in MPV models, but the throttle is stepped on, and there will be no feeling of pushing back, and the power output is soft, which is only suitable for Sven to drive. Trumpchi's tuning of the Aisin 6AT has made significant progress on the GM6, but in the process of switching between low gears, the action is still a bit obvious, and you need to get used to it. Another disadvantage is the fuel consumption performance, a small displacement turbo engine with a 6AT gearbox, the average fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is about 10-11 liters, put it today, whether it is the same level or a higher level of models, this value is already very high

 

The GM6 adopts the front MacPherson rear torsion beam suspension structure, the overall tuning is soft, which guarantees the quality of large and small vibration filtering, and can also provide a good sense of solidity, but the body is higher (1730mm) and the suspension adjustment is softer, and there will be obvious roll when cornering and rapid line changes, and the closer to the rear of the car, the more obvious. The rear torsion beam provides a good space base for the third row and trunk, but when you sit in the third row, the bumpy feeling will be more pronounced than in the first two rows.

 

GM6 does not accumulate too much material in terms of sound insulation, there is no double-layer laminated glass in the front row, the engine compartment firewall isolation effect is also general, in the process of driving, the biggest source of noise is engine noise and tire noise, low-profile models are equipped with Magis tires, the silent effect is average, the middle and high-end models use Michelin Haoyue 4, more picky roads, in some rough asphalt roads, quietness is not as good as 3ST.

 

The biggest selling point of the GM6 is space, and it is currently available in both 6-seater and 7-seater versions. There aren't many options to choose from when looking for a car that can sit comfortably in the third row at this price point, and the GM6 counts as one. The 7-seater version of the GM6 is a 2 2 3 layout, with two adults in the third row just right, and there is still a fist or so of room in the knees, and the seat backs also have three levels of adjustment, and the sitting position is more comfortable, but it will be more crowded for three adults.

 

The trunk of the GM6 borrows from the design of the Odyssey, and the spare tire is placed under the front seats, so that the trunk has more space for the "negative layer", and even if the three rows are full, the trunk has enough space for luggage. When the third row is idle, it can be folded into the negative layer to form a fully flat platform, freeing up a volume of 1,100 liters. As for the fishing bench above the Odyssey, the GM6 did not borrow it, and the seat cannot be flipped back.

 

For example, the interior of the GM6 provides a very good sense of class, but there are often errors in some assembly details, which is a minus for expected reliability, and needs to be paid more attention to.
