Original by Bitche Some time ago, my high school classmates received good news. To be precise, it was a double happiness. One is to be blessed with a precious son, and the other is to win the second "Shanghai card". But the "troubles" that followed also followed me, especially the need to buy an MPV, which was put on the agenda. After some selection, I finally hesitated between two models and came to ask me, so I got it. this article.
His requirements for car models are very precise. I will tell you why later. The first is2022 Roewe iMAX8 400TGI Gathering Edition (hereinafter referred to as iMAX8), with a manufacturer's guide price of 209,800 yuan, followed by the 2021 GAC Trumpchi M8 Collar Show series 390T premium version (hereinafter referred to as M8), the manufacturer's guide price is 219,800 yuan. Since the budget is relatively tight, he hopes that the total cost of purchasing a car, excluding the cost of the Shanghai brand, can be controlled within about 250,000. At the same time, after having children, the car must be large enough in terms of seating space and loading space, so I simply borrowed these two test cars to make a comprehensive comparison for my buddy.
Appearance comparison:iMAX8 can meet the visual requirements of more people
RoeweiMAX8 adopts Roewe’s latest family design style, with parametric three-dimensional suspended dragon scale shape and light-wing LED headlights, giving the visual effect a very luxurious feel. The appearance design of Trumpchi M8 is also good, but it looks a bit too business-like compared to Roewe iMAX8.
RoeweiMAX8's light-wing headlights integrate through-type LED daytime running lights. The overall style is sharp and the overall visual effect is rich in layers. Trumpchi M8 also uses LED light sources as the main structure of the headlights, and the air intake grille has more silver chrome trim strips that do not look fashionable.
On the side of the body, RoeweiMAX8 has soft lines and is equipped with privacy glass in the rear row. The body length, width and height are 5016*1909*1782mm, and the wheelbase reaches 3000mm. The body size of Trumpchi M8 is 5089*1884*1822mm, and the wheelbase is also 3000mm.
RoeweiMAX8 is equipped with 18-inch two-color multi-spoke sports wheels, which has a very dynamic visual effect. The tire specification is 225/55 R18. TrumpchiThe M8 is also equipped with 18-inch multi-spoke wheels, and the tire specifications are the same as those of the Roewe iMAX8.
RoeweThe rear design of iMAX8 adopts a through-type chrome plating design, which is highly recognizable when lit up at night. The rear design of Trumpchi M8 is also good, but in comparison, the overall visual aspect of Roewe iMAX8 is better than Trumpchi M8.
Interior comparison:iMAX8 not only has more space, but also has higher configurations
Roewe Inside the iMAX8, you can clearly feel the yacht-like design of the center console and the overall very high-end blue and white combination, creating a good sense of luxury. It provides a very comfortable home atmosphere, and the workmanship and materials used in the details also show a relatively high level. The overall shape of the interior is slightly tilted towards the driver, and the details are more considerate.
In contrast, TrumpchiThe interior of the M8 appears relatively square. The details use black highlights and silver chrome plating to enhance the atmosphere. The overall visual effect is also These are the feelings of Trumpchi family models, which are relatively conventional and don’t have many highlights.
RoeweiMAX8 uses a 12.3-inch large-size touch-sensitive central control screen. The screen display effect is exquisite and smooth, and it integrates car navigation, Internet of Vehicles, Bluetooth, and voice. Recognition and other configurations, while supporting a wealth of third-party intelligenceApp, which is more in line with current smart usage habits. In addition, 90-second voice input function and OTA upgrade are the highlights of its intelligent configuration. It is worth mentioning that the Roewe iMAX8 is equipped with a 360° panoramic image that can be restored particularly clearly even in the blind spots on the side of the car. Compared with the ordinary reversing image of Trumpchi M8, it is much more advanced.
TrumpchiThe M8 is equipped with a 10.1-inch mid-rangeThe control screen integrates a series of smart apps such as car navigation Amap, QQ Music, Himalaya, etc. It is smooth to use and has complete functions for daily driving.
As for the front seats, RoeweThe seats equipped in iMAX8 are wrapped in genuine leather, while Trumpchi uses genuine leather and imitation leather wrapping. The front seats of the Roewe iMAX8 are equipped with dual-side electric adjustment functions, while the seats of the Trumpchi M8 only provide electric adjustment functions on the driver's side, and manual adjustment on the passenger side. In terms of the richness of seat adjustment, Roewe iMAX8 is also more detailed, providing seat front and rear, height adjustment, backrest adjustment, and lumbar support adjustment. The seats of Trumpchi M8 only support front and rear/height adjustment of the seat and backrest adjustment. In terms of comfort, Roewe iMAX8 is even better, and its space is also better.
As for the middle-row seats, the configurations provided by the two models are not much different. Except for some slight differences in the wrapping materials of the seats, the functions are basically the same. All are equipped with front and rear seat adjustments, backrest adjustments, and leg rests. At the same time, both models are also equipped with seat heating, ventilation and massage functions. In terms of space in the middle-row seats, RoeweiMAX8 is still better than Trumpchi M8.
What is special is that iMAX8 has two "magic screens" behind the front seats. The magic screen adopts an inline design, which is quite coordinated with the vehicle interior. Passengers in the second row can realize simple car-machine interaction functions through the magic screen, and can conduct navigation, multimedia and other operations through voice. The whole concept of the magic screen is relatively new, and it also allows passengers in the second row to feel the intelligence of the vehicle.
Both models adopt a 2+2+3 seat layout. The third row of seats in both cars are also equipped with three independent headrests. The backrest can also be adjusted to a certain extent. But the difference is that the third row of seats in the Roewe iMAX8 can also be adjusted forward and backward. In other words, when large items need to be loaded, the trunk space can be expanded by compressing the occupants' legroom. When opened normally, the third row of Roewe iMAX8 has more space than Trumpchi M8.
The performance of the two cars in terms of conventional storage space is relatively close. For example, the door panels, central armrest, glove box, and sides of the rear seats are all equipped with corresponding storage spaces. I will not go into details here. . In this comparison, we mainly compare the trunk loading capacity to see which model can hold more luggage.
When iMAX8 unfolds the third row of seats and adjusts the forward and backward movable third row of seats to the end, the distance between the back of the seat and the rear of the rear seat is 36cm, while When the third row of seats is adjusted to the frontmost position, the distance between the back of the seat and the tail of the rear seat is 56cm. There is a full 20cm adjustment range, which is a capability that the M8 does not have. The distance between the back of the third-row seat and the rear of the trunk in the M8 is only 50cm, and there is a 6cm gap between the two.
It is more intuitive to measure the difference between the two by placing trolley cases. After the third row of seats is adjusted forward, the iMAX8 can accommodate three 20-inch and two 26-inch trolley cases at the same time. The M8 can only accommodate up to four when people are seated in the third row. 20 inch trolley case.
