I really hope you keep doing the reviews, i would like to see a review of various great wall models, more electric cars and the quirks and features from those cars. in my opinion, you will turn into the doug de muro of the chinese car industry. cheers from Colombia.

Chinese cars are the obvious final harbinger of the Death of Detroit on wheels.

Good quality video and presentation again! Good job!

One thing you forgot to mention is that GAC is partner manufacturer of Toyota,honda and many other Japanese brands in China, the development of trumpchi evolved around huge technological knowledge gained by GAC , over the years by manufacturing Toyota and Honda cars in China, basically we can say trumpchi is an offspring of Toyota and Honda 😁

The use of that waist pack is the result of a bet that you lost? Lol Nice channel and video production. Cheers from Brazil.

GAC sells this car here in the Philippines, it is notable though that they've dropped all mentions of the name "Trumpchi" in the branding for our market (I guess obvious reasons). It sells for between 41- 48k USD over here and to put it kindly...it does not sell very well.

Back in 2017 or 2018 (can't remember) I went to the Detroit Autoshow and sat in a few GAC's. The stunning thing is that in every single one, the interior was a parts bin, with designs from a bunch of different manufacturers, as shown here. Buick wheel, Mercedes screen, dash and sonsole, etc Not that it's a bad thing... But still

Great review, i like the car and the reviewer

MG launched an SUV known as GLOSTER some months back in India.... it had a pretty nice Brochure to show but its not able to climb even a simple hill with all those gears and buzz

This model was started around 2015, so they didn't think about having a super high-end transmission system yet. (However the GM8 minivan received a new 8-speed gearbox for the 2020 refresh. Weird.) I'm pretty sure that with GAC's heavy attention to the BEV market, it won't be long before they ditch this model in favor of a similarly sized AION sedan to conveniently compete with the BYD Han, XPeng P7 or the Tesla Model 3. And I'm sure the AION will look much more futuristic.

Great channel, subscribed.

I'm really thinking of buying it, but how about its quality? is it good? would it last at least 7 years fully functional?

Really great review..thank you

Cars like this would do wonders for Chinese automakers' rep in Western markets. For some reason they continue to only export bargain basement models.

If this was sold in Canada, I'd definitely check it out.

All gac ga8 accessories are excellent And excellent powerful engines There is only a slight flaw, the hole is narrow The accelerator pedal and somewhat in the rear suspension of the average rear passengers when bumps and the length of the car is suitable for men Business

Chinese sports cars are few and far between these days, but rest assured that we'll be sure to test any that we can get our hands on! We have driven some pretty quick stuff, though, like the BYD Tang. It's definitely not a sports car, but 0-60 in less than 4.5 seconds ain't bad!

Interior design that i liked the most.

Is that an Elantra XXL?

Wow. It actually looks way better than a Toyota. I've been looking at an "older" Avalon, quite frankly i hate the Toyota's new looks and design.

while is cheap i hope GAC don't sell it for that aspect no one should think its cheap but be surprised that it is , it should be market as a reasonably priced car instead of a chep one, people just has a disdain for a cheap reputation, it should be focus on first time buyers looking for something mature

car has nice logo, i think ill buy it

Please, tell me what price?

6 speed Asin(Toyota) trans? If the engine holds up, that could be a winner in terms of the sedan market in terms of reliability.

Please review GAC GS5!

Nice looking car.

This car's exterior looks like a VW Passat, not so much like an Avalon. Inside, it somewhat reminds me of a Genesis G90, but with much less quality of materials and luxurious appearance. As far as the performance goes, it's way below current standards for acceleration. Also, how does it do in crash tests? That's really important in the market. It's a sedan. I don't see many going for it in the USA.

Love your channel. Good quality. Maybe better with less "third person" talking.

The front looks like a 2017-18 Elantra Sport jeez 😂

It looks like a cross between a Toyota Camry/Avalon and a Volkswagen Passat. The interior looks classy, and the quality, at least on the surface, looks really good. The price is astonishing. Too bad they can't import their vehicles, because they would do what the Koreans have done ...selling impressive cars for less.

Not complaining cheap plastic bottons. Think about the price you pay for it. A few thousands more for aluminium ones? Sure, go get it.

#1 requirement for success in the American market is proper marketing, and a name like "Trumpchi" is never going to fly.

It all looks and sounds like good value. However, how long will it hold together?. How cheap and poor are the parts you cannot see. Will it fall apart in five years. Is so, then it ain't no Camry challenger.

That's what people said about Japanese cars in the 60's and 70's. Who would have thought that now the bestselling car in the US would be Toyota Camry. When the Japan auto industry was starting many people thought they were crazy to try and compete with the mighty US industry. Same deal with Korean cars in the 80s. Absolute trash, now winning awards.

The best part about this car is the Aisin transmission. Japanese (Aisin is specifically Toyota) transmissions are some of the most bulletproof transmissions ever made

Chinese are still far behind to come into competition with japanese , german and Korean brands.
