GAC Trumpchi GS3 2023 Shadow Speed 270T Jinxiang
The Star Diamond Shadow adopts the latest design philosophy of the Trumpchi family. The front features a vertical waterfall grille paired with "laser eye" LED headlights, and sharp lines create a mecha-warrior-like fighting spirit. The three-dimensional lines on the hood echo the continuous taillights, giving the whole vehicle a low-slung and dynamic stance, exuding sporty attributes. The blacked-out D-pillar creates a floating visual effect, complemented by hidden electric door handles, combining a sense of technology and fashion. 18-inch blacked-out alloy wheels further enhance its sporty genes. The openable panoramic sunroof, with a lighting area of 0.8㎡, balances practicality and a sense of occasion.
Equipped with a third-generation 1.5T GDI high-performance engine, it delivers a maximum power of 130kW (177 hp) and a peak torque of 270 N·m, paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. The official 0-100 km/h acceleration time is 7.5 seconds, and real-world testing showed smooth overtaking on the highway with a noticeable push-back feeling. In Sport mode, the throttle response is sensitive, suitable for drivers seeking a more spirited driving experience. The transmission has been optimized, with clear shift logic and smooth performance in daily commuting scenarios. It offers three driving modes: Eco, Standard, and Sport, to meet different road conditions. Eco mode offers a relaxed throttle response, suitable for congested city traffic; Sport mode provides aggressive power delivery, suitable for highway or mountain driving.
The vehicle measures 4410×1850×1600mm with a wheelbase of 2650mm, surpassing competitors like the Changan CS35PLUS (2600mm). Rear legroom reaches 850mm, and headroom is ample, making long journeys comfortable for three passengers. The completely flat floor design (rare in its class) further enhances the comfort of the middle passenger. The trunk has a basic capacity of 341L, easily accommodating a 28-inch suitcase and a stroller, meeting the needs of daily shopping and short trips. The rear seats fold down in a 40:60 split, achieving a 98% flat surface and expanding the capacity to 1271L, instantly transforming into a "double bed" for moving or camping. Detailed storage designs, such as the hollowed-out storage compartment below the center console, umbrella slots in the door panels, and a double-layered armrest box, effectively improve space utilization.
The 7-inch full LCD instrument cluster and 10.25-inch central control screen offer clear display and support CarPlay/CarLife/HUAWEI HiCar smartphone connectivity, with smooth operation of navigation, music, and other functions. It supports a voice interaction system, activated by saying "Hello, Xiaoqi," which controls the air conditioning, sunroof, navigation, and more, with a recognition accuracy exceeding 90%. The seats are upholstered in faux leather with soft-touch materials, and the center console and door panels utilize a large area of slush molding for a delicate feel. The seats offer strong side support, reducing fatigue during long drives. Automatic air conditioning and rear air vents are standard, including a PM2.5 filter, and independent rear air vents enhance comfort.
