The luxury of the road test is not limited to the appearance, and there is Gan Kun in the master M8.

Four years ago, Chuanqi M8 came out. In just four years, it has achieved 200,000 sales volume and monthly sales volume, surpassing the joint venture to reach the top of MPV list, and consolidated the position of China luxury MPV pioneer.

Four years later, Chuanqi brought a brand-new flagship MPV and named the new car: Master M8. Just listening to the name is very inspiring. Master, start a school. Only when there is the potential of being a saint inside and a king outside can we govern mountains and rivers, boost the ambition of the Chinese people and inspire the national spirit.

MPV is not very popular in market segments, and it is also occupied by Buick GL8, Toyota Senna and Erffa all the year round, followed by Odyssey and Elysee. Before M8, there were not many China brand models to choose from in the market, let alone luxury models.

As the pioneer of luxury MPV in China, Chuanqi M8 broke the monopoly of high-end MPV joint ventures for the first time. The popularity of Chuanqi M8 Master Edition has also attracted much attention. It will be more luxurious, more scientific and more advanced.

At the Shanghai Tasting after the National Day, Master M8 series came to Shanghai, showing us the all-round performance of eighteen kinds of martial arts, and also letting us deeply experience the n possibilities that Master M8 can provide in different car scenes.

The new generation M8 grandmaster series creatively draws materials from traditional culture and philosophy, and integrates modern science and technology industry aesthetics to create the front face of China lion dance, which represents majesty and nobility. Inspired by the lion's hunting momentum, the posture of the whole vehicle embodies the characteristics of "stability, speed and fierceness", and the exaggerated front face is highly recognizable. The element headlight of the Awakening Eye contains 388 LED beads. When turned on, the daytime running lights light up in a straight line, just like a lion glaring at the arrival of passengers. In order to increase the interest, three kinds of personalized lanterns were also introduced: Atmospheric National Style, Dragon Boat Race and Wulin Hegemony.

The length, width and height of Chuanqi Master M8 are 5212/1893/1823mm, and the wheelbase is 3070 mm ... Compared with the existing M8, the longer wheelbase and wider body give it a stronger gas field. From the side, between the sharp waistline and the clean skirt line, the advanced curved surface of the car body presents subtle changes.

Master M8 is equipped with 14.6-inch super-large suspended central control panel+12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel. The on-board system of the central control panel supports intelligent voice control, and there is no need to look around during driving, thus improving driving safety. At the same time, the new car is equipped with a 15.6-inch ceiling screen, and the boss in the back row can switch freely between online meetings and leisure and entertainment.

Open the driver's door, and you will see two 14.6-inch super-large suspended central control panels+12.3-inch full LCD instrument panels in the car. Of course, Master M8 also arranged a 15.6-inch ceiling screen for the bosses in the back row, and two operation screens similar to the size of a mobile phone that can adjust the seat function.

Master Series1* * has two interior colors, one is black+off-white, simple and advanced, and the center console, seats and other details are decorated with gold decorative strips. Another color scheme is black+red, which is more fashionable and has a theatrical feeling. The interior of M8 Master Series is very attentive, and the details are perfect-I like a crystal decoration on the gear handle, with a 160 cut crystal on it, which is crystal clear and radiant under the sunlight, and this crystal can also rotate. A gold-toned crystal decorative strip is also designed behind the driver's seat, which echoes it. The co-pilot position is inlaid with a wooden plaque engraved with the artistic conception of mountains and rivers, which is very special. I have to say that the interior design of cars is very complicated now. Some cars will arrange a screen on the passenger side, while others will embed a picture. ...

Let's look at the second row of MPV space. There is not enough space and the seats are comfortable enough. When you get on the bus, you will also find that the body of Master M8 is very low. The height of the second row of pedals is reduced by 70mm compared with the cash, and the length of the handle for getting on and off the bus is increased by 324 mm The lower secondary pedal allows passengers to get on the bus easily. Even for children, the extra-long handle is a detail of this improvement, which is very intimate. I think Master M8 can let you get off the bus more gracefully for the stars who greet every flash moment in evening dresses.

The second row of M8 Master adopts fully electric semi-aniline leather seats, and Yamaha brand audio headrest is the first of its kind, which has multiple functions of massage, ventilation and heating. The comfort and configuration of the second row are very high, especially the one-button SPA mode, which automatically adjusts the seat to an almost flat position, and there are three massage methods to choose from. Imagine how comfortable and relaxed it would be to nest in this second row seat with massage when you are tired from a long journey.

In addition, the third row can slide back and forth, which can effectively expand the trunk space. Compared with the cramped third row of 7-seat SUV, the advantage of the third row of MPV is very obvious. Master M8 also built skylights for the front and rear rows, creating a sense of transparency. It is worth mentioning that the vehicle is also equipped with the industry's first windless healthy air conditioner, which can uniformly exhaust air to improve the cooling and heating performance of the air conditioner and take care of sensitive people such as the elderly and children. Compared with the traditional air outlet, Master M8 really brings the comfort of moistening things silently.

It is worth mentioning that the master M8 pioneered the third row of rear windshield airbags, which buffered part of the rear-end collision energy in the case of rear-end collision and solved the safety pain point of "who sits in the third row". In addition, the industry's first all-round airbag matrix has been built, and the industry's longest 3.2m head air curtain protects the personal safety of drivers and passengers in all directions.

Let's talk about the test drive experience first. M8 master control hybrid version is equipped with independent research and development of GAC II. 0TM high-efficiency engine+new fourth-generation enhanced THS? Ⅱ Toyota hybrid power system, with maximum engine power 140kW and maximum torque of 330Nm. The fuel version is equipped with Julang Power 2.0T? GDI engine+Aisin 3rd generation 8AT powertrain, the engine power reaches 185kW, and the maximum torque is 400Nm. Although it looks big, I thought it would be heavy, but in actual driving, the master M8 still surprised me, with strong power output and quick response. Unlike driving a big car, the quiet feeling created in the car makes you feel that all this is going on quietly-thanks to the master M8' s all-round empowerment of cockpit quietness and the adoption of ANC active noise reduction technology, the engine roar at idle speed and acceleration is effectively reduced.

Today, my role is as a female driver, except that the steering wheel feels a little bigger (of course, the direction intensity is divided into three grades, and the movement mode will be heavier, and the other two grades are suitable for female drivers), which is still very easy to use. Of course, when parking or crossing obstacles, it is difficult for me to estimate whether I can pass the huge body. Intimate guards turn on the 360 panoramic image function, and the distance of obstacles can be displayed on the screen. When it is less than 30cm, you will be prompted to stop. The transparent chassis can also check the wheel position in real time, ensuring the safety of parking or reversing in narrow places. Still very sweet.

For passengers, the electromagnetic levitation comfort mode and chassis adjustment can make you feel comfortable, switch to sports mode and give your body enough support. As a large MPV, Master M8 shows a rare chassis performance. This is due to the SDC intelligent variable damping electronic control suspension system, which can adjust the damping force of the shock absorber in real time and realize the adaptive matching of the whole vehicle to different roads. Master M8 can perfectly filter bumps when passing through rough roads, and control the body roll well when facing sharp turns and other road conditions, so as to ensure the handling and comfort of the whole vehicle.

As for cars, GAC has been doing a good job in this respect. In the M8 master car, the most advanced technology is naturally integrated into it. The car adopts ADiGO4.0 intelligent driving internet ecosystem and is equipped with Snapdragon 8 155 chip, which brings strong hardware support to the intelligent cockpit. Therefore, for a business MPV, when the boss in the back row gives instructions, the reaction speed of the car may be faster than yours, and the voice call is more sensitive and intelligent to meet the needs of the boss. I think such a big car that can accompany him to farmland must be quite satisfactory.

After experiencing the M8 master car, I also understood the place where Chuanqi M8 led the independent luxury MPV market for 36 consecutive months. Although it will be more expensive than the master edition, I think consumers will definitely pay the bill. After all, the M8 master series has given too many connotations-not only oriental aesthetics, philosophy and wisdom, but also its internal strength, which should not be underestimated. The so-called "inner saints and outer kings" are roughly the same. ?
