as a compact suv under gac trumpchi, the trumpchi gs4 has always been popular among consumers in the market. at the same time, facing the increasingly competitive automobile market, it is also constantly enriching its product matrix, and has successively launched models with suffixes such as "plus" and "max" to meet the car purchasing preferences of different consumers. so, how does the newly launched gac trumpchi gs4 with the "max" suffix perform in terms of daily practicality? this issue of "daily practicality test report" will give you the answer.

test vehicle: 2024 gac trumpchi gs4 max 1.5t flagship edition

official guide price: 125,800 yuan

1. functional configuration test

the 2024 gac trumpchi gs4 max supports inductive unlocking. when the driver approaches the vehicle with the key, the door handle will pop out automatically, which is very convenient.

the trunk tailgate of the evaluation car supports multiple opening methods, including remote control keys, external buttons, internal buttons and easyopen smart sensing, which is simple and convenient to operate.

the bonnet opening switch is located at the lower left of the front of the driver's seat. to open it, you need to pull the switch inside the car, then unlock the lock pin inside the bonnet and lift the bonnet. during the operation, due to the use of a manual single-sided support rod, the stability is average, and the bonnet is heavy, so it is more laborious to open and close.

for consumers, the height of the door sill determines the convenience of getting on and off the vehicle to a certain extent. according to the actual test results, the door sill height of the 2024 gac trumpchi gs4 max is 440mm, which is in the middle of the same level, making it more convenient for passengers to get on and off the vehicle.

2. comfort configuration test

the driver's seat of the car under review supports electric adjustment, the front seats are equipped with heating function, and the rear seat backrest supports adjustment, which is acceptable. however, the popular seat memory and seat ventilation functions are not available on this car.

in the main driver's seat test, the distance between the front and rear ends of the evaluation car's main driver's seat is 290mm, which is at the upper level of the same class. the seat has a wide adjustable travel, which can meet the needs of most drivers.

the multi-function steering wheel supports manual up and down adjustment + front and back adjustment. after actual measurement, the front and back adjustable distance of the steering wheel is 50mm, which is at the middle level of the same level; the up and down adjustment angle is 10.1°, which is at the middle level of the same level.

the 2024 gac trumpchi gs4 max rear seats provide three headrests, all of which support up and down adjustment. due to the large difference in area between the middle headrest and the headrests on both sides, and the hardness of the middle backrest filling is higher than that on both sides, the riding comfort of the middle passenger will be affected to a certain extent.

the front center armrest has a neat shape and is wrapped in soft leather, which feels good to the touch. however, since the front center armrest does not support forward and backward movement or angle adjustment, and is positioned far back, the driver cannot put his elbows on it during daily driving.

3. multimedia configuration test

in terms of the usb charging port in the car, the 2024 gac trumpchi gs4 max is equipped with a total of 4 usb charging ports, including 1 type-a and 1 type-c port in the front row, and 2 type-a charging ports under the rear air-conditioning outlet. the location design of the front and rear charging ports is relatively reasonable, but due to the single type of rear charging port, the compatibility is average. in addition, the whole car is equipped with a 12v power port.

at the same time, we tested the voltage and current of the charging port. the voltage and current of the front type-a charging port were 5.01v and 0.97a respectively; the voltage and current of the rear type-a charging port were 5.1v and 1.72a respectively.

as smart car machines become more and more popular, more and more car models are equipped with smart voice assistants. for the "intelligent voice system", we use the following four fixed scripts to judge the performance of the voice interaction system in terms of voice recognition rate, response speed, and controllable functions.

1. i'm a little cold / i'm a little hot

2. open the car window/open the main driver's window/open the sunroof

3. i want to listen to "xxxx" (song title)

4. i want to go to beijing building

after actual testing, the intelligent voice interaction system of the 2024 gac trumpchi gs4 max can recognize and operate all commands except opening the sunroof (the panoramic sunroof cannot be opened on all models), and the response speed is relatively fast. the voice system is more accurate in recognizing fuzzy semantics, and supports dual-zone voice wake-up recognition function, and the overall performance is remarkable.

4. space configuration test

as an aspect of space testing that is closely related to consumers, in the previous test drive article "test drive of the 2024 gac trumpchi gs4 max, a great value choice for home use", we have experienced its riding space. this time, we will evaluate it from the aspects of storage space and its convenience, which are also commonly used in daily life.

the test of the usable space in the car only targets the space within reach of the front row, excluding the glove box, central armrest box and other spaces that need to be opened. the test method is to place all the following fixed items in the storage spaces in the front row, and judge the performance of the vehicle storage space by the placement of the fixed items. the fixed items selected for the test are: 2 regular-sized bottles of mineral water, 1 large-screen mobile phone, 1 lipstick, 1 shoulder bag, 1 pair of sunglasses, 1 folding umbrella and 1 pack of regular-sized tissue paper.

after actual testing, the 2024 gac trumpchi gs4 max has a total of 14 storage spaces (excluding cup holders), which is in the middle of the tested models of the same level. except for sunglasses, which do not have a dedicated space, the other fixed items can find a suitable place to put them, making it very convenient to take items.

in terms of the trunk, the floor of the 2024 gac trumpchi gs4 max is quite flat, but the wheel arches on both sides occupy space, which will have some impact on the placement of large luggage. fortunately, the rear seats can be folded down in proportion, which can further expand the trunk space.

we also measured the basic values ​​of the trunk of the evaluation car. the opening length is 1040mm; the opening width is 1340mm; the trunk depth is 890mm; and the vertical height between the trunk floor and the top is 740mm.

5. security configuration test phase

in the vehicle's front and rear visibility tests, all seats in the vehicle have been adjusted to the lowest position. the measured data may deviate slightly from the normal use of the driver and is for reference only.

in the front vision test, we used a 70cm high pile bucket as a reference, and then adjusted the distance between the vehicles until the top of the pile bucket could be seen from the main driver's seat. after testing, the final measured data between the pile bucket and the front of the vehicle was 3m, which is in the middle and lower levels among the tested vehicles of the same level.

in the rear vision test, the pile bucket is still fixed and then the vehicle is moved until the upper edge of the pile bucket can be seen. the measured distance of the rear vision is 18.18m, which is at the lower level among the tested models of the same level.

when testing the field of view of the exterior rearview mirror, first let the tester stand 10 meters vertically from the left and right rearview mirrors, then start to move to the left and right sides until they appear at the outermost edge of the rearview mirrors on both sides, and measure the lateral distance. then, the angle of the field of view of the rearview mirror can be calculated by formula. the larger the angle, the smaller the blind area of ​​the rearview mirror, and vice versa.

the left and right exterior rearview mirrors of the 2024 gac trumpchi gs4 max both use ordinary lenses. the measured field of view of the left and right exterior rearview mirrors are 32.1° and 29.6° respectively. they are at the upper level among the tested models of the same level, with a small blind spot.

during the test, the reversing radar can sense objects behind at 1.51m, and the radar power performance is relatively good. referring to previous test experience, the closer the continuous beeping stage is to 0.25m, the closer it is to daily use habits. from the measured data, the continuous beeping warning distance of the 2024 gac trumpchi gs4 max reversing radar is 0.33m, which is quite different from the test experience value, so you need to pay more attention when reversing in daily life.

the 2024 gac trumpchi gs4 max is equipped with a 360-degree panoramic image with decent image clarity. the image also provides functions such as a transparent chassis, 3d display effects, multi-angle viewing, and a reverse assist line that can follow the steering, which can better assist the driver in parking.

in daily use, vehicles often encounter turning or u-turns. at this time, the steering flexibility of the vehicle is very important. knowing the road width required for the car to turn around on the spot can help you know the situation and avoid dangerous situations such as scratches. after actual testing, the minimum road width for the evaluation car to turn around on the spot is 10.1m, which is in the middle of the same level.

car handles are very necessary for people with limited mobility, and they can also help passengers stay safe on bumpy roads. in addition to the main driver's door, all other doors of the evaluation car are equipped with handles.

summarize:

through this practicality test, the 2024 gac trumpchi gs4 max has outstanding performance in the adjustment range of the main driver's seat, intelligent voice control, and the field of view of the exterior mirrors on both sides, making the daily car experience better. however, there are still areas that need to be optimized, such as the engine compartment is more laborious to open, and the central armrest box cannot provide effective support for the driver's elbow. overall, as a family-oriented suv, the daily practicality of the 2024 gac trumpchi gs4 max is in line with expectations, and consumers with purchasing needs can pay special attention.
