Test the taste of the new Chuanqi GS3· movie speed young people. It knows very well.

[Pacific Auto Evaluation Channel] Chuanqi GS3 (parameter picture) (inquiry base price | reference matching) is the sales responsibility of Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi in the small SUV market segment. With its low entry threshold and dynamic fashion design, it quickly won the favor of a new generation of young people in 2017, and its market performance has been very good. In March of this year, Chuanqi GS3 also ushered in a new generation of models-Chuanqi GS3 Shadow Speed. As the third model of Chuanqi "Shadow" generation family, the new car has been improved in all aspects, such as internal and external values, intelligent configuration and power. What’s the actual performance? It is the focus of our next experience.

The car purchase policy is very friendly to young people.

Buy at a low threshold and sell cars at a high rate of preservation.

The new generation Chuanqi GS3· Shadow Speed has launched four models, with the selling price range of 858-111,800 yuan. In addition to the good price, GAC Chuanqi also brought more surprises at the launch conference of GS3· Shadow Speed. Just after the sale price of the new car was announced, before the cheers on the scene dissipated, the official announced the "triple gift" for the listing of the new car. Among them, the "financial gift" provided a financial scheme with zero down payment, and also provided flexible repayment services. Only 66 yuan was repaid in each of the first six issues, which greatly reduced the threshold for young people to buy a car and let the car land as soon as possible.

Enjoy the gift of value preservation immediately: 20% discount for value preservation and redemption for up to 3 years.

Enjoy the traffic gift: free basic traffic for life and free entertainment traffic for 3 years (6G/ month).

However, what makes everyone at the scene can’t help cheering again is the "value-preserving ceremony", that is, car buyers can enjoy the value-preserving and redemption service of up to 3 years and 20% discount. That is to say, when everyone’s Chuanqi GS3· Shadow Speed expires for 3 years, if they want to buy other models of Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi brand, the official will buy back everyone’s vehicles at the highest 80% preservation rate (according to the fare). The depreciation amount after 3 years can also be converted into a daily usage fee deduction.

This means that users can not only buy cars at a low threshold, but also sell cars at a high rate of preservation, thus eliminating consumers’ "residual anxiety" about new cars. This "buy-and-sell" shows a strong inclusiveness and the initial intention of Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi, a national brand.

Of course, whether it’s a financial plan or a high rate of preservation, these are just one of the eye-catching factors. Ultimately, the core that can affect young people’s car purchase decisions depends on the product strength itself, so next we will conduct a detailed test experience on Chuanqi GS3· Shadow Speed.

Appearance: R-STYLE version is so cool!

The main consumers of small SUVs are young people, so Chuanqi GS3 Shadow Speed also focuses on the improvement of face value in this upgrade. At a glance, it can be seen that the appearance of Chuanqi GS3 Shadow Speed has changed dramatically compared with the previous generation. As the third model of Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi’s "Shadow Corps", the new car naturally has a strong "Shadow" style, and it is effective in off the charts.

In terms of body appearance color, the new generation Chuanqi GS3· Shadow Speed has five colors, namely, Mohe Grey, Salt Lake Blue, Ivory White, Superstar Silver and Haoyue Grey, among which Mohe Grey and Salt Lake Blue are two new colors. Ink grey is made of high-grade aluminum powder to form a matte texture with a unique metallic and gritty feeling, while salt lake blue is equipped with a high fixation system to fully ensure the high saturation of car paint.

It is worth mentioning that the new generation Chuanqi GS3· Quick Shadow Factory also provided a 5000-piece optional package, which can be upgraded to 19-inch wheels, Michelin PS4 tires (with a single value of more than 1500 yuan) and track mode (including performance training) at a cost of 5000 yuan, which is still very worthwhile if it is considered in terms of performance orientation.

Interior: texture and sense of science and technology surpass the same level.

Compared with the previous generation, the interior of the new generation Chuanqi GS3· Fast Shadow has made a qualitative leap in texture and technological atmosphere. The specific elements include the design of 12.3-inch LCD dual screen, exquisite and compact ring-type electronic gear shifting mechanism, leather seat with star texture, 32-color adjustable ambient light system, air conditioning outlet similar to propeller nozzle … It is no exaggeration to say that it is difficult to find a second rival among the 80,000-class SUVs.

In addition, the brand-new Chuanqi GS3· Shadow Speed has a late-comer advantage in intelligence because it is a freshly baked product. Its intelligent cockpit system is equipped with an 8-core high-performance car, which can respond to intelligent voice interaction at high speed, and has rich online entertainment functions and convenience functions, which is ahead of most competing products of the same level at present.

The body size of the new Chuanqi GS3· Shadow Speed is 4410mm/4446mm (regular version /R-STYLE version) *1850mm*1600mm, and the wheelbase size is 2650mm, which is one of the best in its class. Therefore, a spacious rear row space is not a problem, and young users have children, even a second child, which is enough for daily use. In addition, its rear floor is flat, which makes the rear passengers have enough leg space, even if three normal adults sit in the back at the same time, they can still ensure that everyone can have a comfortable sitting position.

Chuanqi GS3· Movie Speed R-STYLE Edition Space Exhibition:

Dynamic driving experience: clear road feeling/flexible driving.

Remember when Shadow Leopard first appeared, that exciting power system? Yes, Chuanqi GS3· Shadow Speed is also equipped with the same model. This power system of Guangzhou Automobile Julang Power’s third-generation 1.5TGDI engine +7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox has a maximum output of 130KW and a maximum torque of 270 N m. The official acceleration time of 100 kilometers is 7.5s(R-STYLE version), which is significantly improved compared with the old models.

Comparing changan CS35 PLUS or Geely Binyue of the same level horizontally, it is easier to find that GS3· Shadow Speed is the car that can best provide the feeling of "small steel gun" at this price and level.

I have to say that when I first got started, I was deeply impressed by this Chuanqi GS3· movie speed. In addition to the appearance and interior in the sensory experience, it will not fall off the chain when it comes to dynamic driving. When you turn on the normal mode on the city road and lightly step on the accelerator pedal, the vehicle can give you very positive power feedback. Moreover, with the increase of gear, the gearbox shifts quickly, and you can’t feel the sense of frustration. The overall acceleration process has always been linear, which is the type that can be easily controlled.

Switch to SPORT+ mode. At this time, the throttle will basically be kept at 2200rpm, and the logic of gearbox upshift and downshift will be more anthropomorphic. With the richer exhaust sound, the sports taste will be very high in an instant. At this time, I have to sigh that Chuanqi GS3· Shadow Speed is probably the model that can provide the feeling of "small steel gun" at this price and level.

Of course, when you switch to sports mode and open the sports exhaust valve, and then step on the accelerator deeply to accelerate and overtake, the engine working sound from the engine compartment and the exhaust sound from the tail can greatly stimulate the driver to secrete more hormones, so that you have an impulse to stay excited and be ready for the battle at any time.

Performance test: excellent acceleration/braking performance

0-100km/h 100 km acceleration test: 7.63 seconds.

On the sunny day of the test, we adopted the ejection start mode, adjusted the driving mode to SPORT+ and turned off the body stability system. Due to the gearbox protection mechanism, the brake pedal was released when the speed was controlled in the range of 2000-2200rpm, and the accelerator pedal was fully pressed. At the beginning, the whole acceleration process was very smooth, and there was no tire slip, and the front of the car did not have an obvious upward posture. The whole acceleration process was completed in one go, and the final score of 7.63 seconds was basically consistent with the official propaganda, and it was also an excellent performance at this level.

100-0km/h braking distance: 34.72m.

It can be seen from the test chart that the braking force is linear during the whole braking process, and the G value has no obvious fluctuation. The powerful braking force gives the driver good confidence. The measured braking distance of 34.72 meters at 100-0km/h is enough to make Chuanqi GS3· Shadow Speed stand out in the same class.

Noise test

The test is divided into idle speed, 60km/h, 90km/h and 120km/h, and finally the noise inside the car is measured in the following table. Compared with competitors at the same level, this performance is slightly lower on the whole, and it can be clearly felt through the driving experience, especially when the noise is well controlled at high speed.

Chuanqi GS3· Shadow Speed Noise Test Speed Noise 0km/h (idle speed) 43.5db60km/h60.1db90km/h64.9db120km/h68.7db Note: Data source tabulation: Pacific Auto Network.

Fuel consumption test: the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers of comprehensive road conditions is 6.7 liters.

As we also mentioned above, the official comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only 6.18L, which is only 50 cents per kilometer. So what is the fuel economy of actually running on the road and passing on GS3·?

In terms of route, in order to simulate the most realistic daily car scene, we have planned the route combination of 50% urban low-speed sections, 30% urban trunk roads and 20% highway sections, which can basically simulate the morning and evening rush hours and smooth road sections. The measured distance is 100km, the air conditioner is adjusted to 24°C, the wind speed is 2 and the external circulation mode is started. The final average speed is about 27km/h, and the apparent average fuel consumption is 6.7L/100km, which is about 50 cents per kilometer, which is basically consistent with the official propaganda. This fuel cost is really very friendly to young people.

Full text summary

The brand-new Chuanqi GS3· Shadow Speed continues the price strategy of the previous generation models, and provides a variety of financial staging schemes and innovatively puts forward an ultra-high value-keeping scheme of "three-year 20% repurchase", which fully dispels the worries of young people from the aspects of entry threshold and late replacement initiative. This wave of operation is really worthy of praise for GAC Chuanqi.

Of course, after our test, the brand-new Chuanqi GS3· Shadow Speed has also done a good job of pleasing all aspects of young people’s needs in terms of product strength. First of all, the shape is completely in line with the aesthetic requirements of young people, and a more sporty R-STYLE version has been launched for some segmentation needs; Secondly, the interior focuses on simple style, and the dual-screen design can meet the current scientific and technological needs. The most important model has a large internal space and the size has an advantage in the same level SUV; Finally, its golden power combination has both acceleration performance and fuel economy, so that young people with a small budget can reach it, drive it smoothly, use it conveniently and save money … So what is there to struggle with?
