1. Smooth power

Japanese hybrid MPVs like to use a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine, but at GAC Trumpchi it has become a self-developed 2.0T "Julang Power". Compared with naturally aspirated, turbocharging has stronger explosive power and stronger power output at the same displacement, but the thermal efficiency is relatively lower. However, GAC Trumpchi has solved this problem, allowing the thermal efficiency of this engine to reach 40.23%, which is the same level as Japanese naturally aspirated engines.

Compared with the M8 Dual Engine, an important difference in the power systems of the two cars is the gearbox. Trumpchi E9 is a two-speed DHT, while the M8 Dual Engine is an E-CVT. The two cars have similar power output and similar acceleration levels, but Trumpchi E9 adds a pure electric priority mode, which can rely on a 25.57kWh ternary lithium battery to provide a pure electric cruising range of 136 kilometers under CLTC conditions.

As long as there is no intense driving, the pure electric mode can be used in almost all speed ranges of daily driving. Without the interruption of the engine, the comfort for MPV passengers is higher.

2. Huge space

The reason why many manufacturers are unwilling to make plug-in hybrid MPV models is that they are afraid that the huge battery will occupy the chassis and force the chassis to be raised, affecting the seating space in the car.

From the parameter point of view, the appearance size of Trumpchi E9 is exactly the same as that of Trumpchi M8 Dual Engine, but the internal space has not shrunk at the level of human perception and is still very spacious. With such a large battery, Trumpchi engineers hide it like magicians without affecting the user's riding experience at all. It is indeed very powerful.

3. Passenger entertainment screen

Compared with the two screens in the central control of Trumpchi M8, Trumpchi E9 has a new passenger entertainment screen. I tried it for a short time and found it to be very fast and rich in content. Even under direct sunlight, the screen display content is clearly visible, making it highly practical.

This is a vehicle with a very strong overall standard, taking into account comfort, luxury, appearance, and performance, but the price is slightly higher. Of course, the overall premium of domestic MPVs is not low at present. Compared with the previous Elfa Welfa, which sells for millions, the Trumpchi E9 has reached or even surpassed it in terms of product strength. Therefore, those who have MPV needs and have a budget of over 300,000 can consider this car.
