The press service of the subsidiary brand Trumpchi shared photos of the interior and exterior of the S7 all-terrain vehicle, and the Autohome portal got acquainted with the pre-production car and photographed the rear of the cabin. The main parameters are known thanks to certification documents: the new GAC will compete with the Li Auto L6 and will be a rechargeable hybrid. The Trumpchi S7 will appear on the Chinese market in the first quarter of 2025.
GAC GS3 and Jetta VS5
The length/width/height of the GAC Trumpchi S7 are 4900/1950/1780 millimeters, respectively, and the wheelbase is 2880 millimeters. Thus, the new product is slightly smaller than the familiar GAC GS8 petrol crossover in Russia. The model has a design traditional for modern “Chinese”: a streamlined body, hidden door handles, lighting equipment with full-width LED strips, lidar on the roof.
