Tires on GAC E9 (ГАС)

The serial production of the GAC E9 minivan has been ongoing since 2023. The car represents a hybrid version of the Trumpchi M8 of the second generation, released in 2022, logically continuing the line of versions and occupying a flagship position in it. In addition to the power plant, the differences include premium equipment, reduced fuel consumption, and increased acoustic comfort. Externally, it stands out with a modified front design, attractive to both private clients and corporate fleets.

Improved Trumpchi M8

The minivan was created on the same platform as the original model but differs significantly from it, even externally. First of all, due to the new front part with a huge radiator grille with massive vertical bars having a chrome coating. The bumpers and the design of the LED optics have also changed. The front headlights have a different internal graphics, and in expensive versions, adaptive LED modules are used. Additional decorative chrome elements are used more actively than on gasoline versions.

The interior has also been modernized. Here, a more expensive interior trim is used, an expanded set of electronic assistants, and other multimedia system settings. The second row received an expanded set of electric adjustments, ventilation, massage, and footrests, which is especially important for corporate use.

Technical differences

The model uses the modular GPMA platform from the Trumpchi M8 of the second generation. The design is focused primarily on comfort, smoothness, and minimization of vibrations. In the front, a McPherson-type suspension is used, and in the back, a multi-link scheme. Compared to gasoline versions, the engineers changed the shock absorber settings and sound insulation. The additional weight of the traction battery required a different suspension calibration, thanks to which the hybrid minivan became even smoother on rough roads. The compartment where it is located is one of the power elements of the body, which increased its torsional and bending strength. This had a positive effect not only on handling but also on acoustic comfort. It is worth noting the use of multi-layer glazing, additional noise and vibration insulation, and improved door seals. As a result, at high speeds, the E9 remains significantly quieter than many large crossovers of similar cost.

Both sliding rear doors have an electric drive, being installed in a large opening, the lower part of which is located as low as possible, making it easier to get into the salon. It, in turn, can provide all passengers with a large amount of space thanks to a wheelbase exceeding 3 meters.

The basis of the hybrid power plant was a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine. This unit develops 190 horsepower and works in conjunction with an electric motor. The total power of the system exceeds 370 horsepower, and the torque reaches 630 Nm. A specialized hybrid transmission 2DHT is used in the transmission. It provides smooth switching between the gasoline engine and electric motor operating modes, minimizing jerks during acceleration.

One of the key features was the ability to move exclusively on electric traction. Depending on the version, the reserve of travel without starting the gasoline engine exceeds 100 kilometers. For city trips, this allows significantly reducing fuel consumption. Acceleration becomes very smooth thanks to the instant traction of the electric motor. Even when fully loaded, the minivan confidently accelerates without the need for intense engine revving. It is the nature of the hybrid system's operation that became one of the main advantages of the E9 over traditional gasoline versions of the M8.

Salon with a bias towards the representative class

The interior has become one of the strongest sides. The manufacturer sought to bring the level of perception closer to premium Japanese minivans and expensive crossovers. The front panel received several displays at once. The digital instrument panel has a diagonal of 12.3 inches, and the central screen of the multimedia system reaches 14.6 inches. The interface supports voice control, navigation, online services, and smartphone integration.

In the second row, separate seats with electric adjustments, ventilation, heating, and massage function are installed. In some versions, separate touch panels for climate control and multimedia are provided. The trim materials include natural leather, soft plastic, and decorative inserts with a wood or metal texture. The "atmospheric" interior lighting has several operating modes. The third row remains full-fledged even for adult passengers, which favorably distinguishes the model from many large crossovers. If necessary, the seats fold electrically, increasing the volume of the luggage compartment.

The E9 has a wide range of modern electronic assistants. The equipment includes adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, automatic braking, and a blind spot monitoring system. The cameras of the surround view system provide high-quality images, which is especially important for such a large minivan in dense city traffic. Also used is automatic parking and intelligent control of the high beam. Already in the initial configurations, a panoramic roof, electric door drives, 3-zone climate control, and a premium audio system are available.

The standard equipment implies the use of disks with a diameter of 18 or 19 inches, tires with a profile height of 55 and 50%, respectively. Such products are distinguished by a combination of low weight and high carrying capacity, along with the ability to effectively combat noise and vibrations, which is important for a model with such a concept. In the online store "Mosavtoshina", you can select both standard sets for everyday operation and options with improved energy efficiency.
