GAC Trumpchi SUV Guide: GS3 Emzoom, GS4, GS8, S7 and the Plug-in Range
By the EVtoU export team
The GAC Trumpchi SUV range splits into two families. Petrol models — GS3 Emzoom, GS4 and GS8 — suit markets where charging is scarce and simple servicing matters. Plug-in hybrids — Xiangwang S7, Xiangwang S9, ES9 and Yue 7 — suit buyers who can charge and want lower running costs and more technology.
How do GAC's petrol SUVs compare?
| Model | Engine | Length | Seats | WLTC fuel | China guide price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GS3 Emzoom | 1.5T, 130 kW | 4,410 mm | 5 | 6.18 L/100 km | ¥79,800–¥99,800 |
| GS4 | 1.5T, 114–130 kW | 4,680 mm | 5 | 6.98–7.20 L/100 km | ¥87,800–¥100,800 |
| GS8 | 2.0T, 185 kW, FWD/AWD | 4,980 mm | 5 or 7 | 8.6–9.2 L/100 km | ¥159,800–¥205,800 |
The GS3 Emzoom is the value leader and also sold by GAC abroad as the Emzoom, which helps with brand recognition. The GS4 is larger inside, with a 560 L boot, for buyers who need a family-sized compact SUV. The GS8 is the only petrol model with seven seats and all-wheel drive, which makes it the natural choice for rough-road markets and government or NGO fleets.
How do GAC's plug-in hybrid SUVs compare?
| Model | System power | Seats | Electric range | Combined range | China guide price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Xiangwang S7 | 318–398 kW | 5 | 240–255 km | 1,084–1,200 km | ¥149,800–¥199,800 |
| Yue 7 | 425 kW motors (AWD) | 5 | 161–261 km | 1,252–1,352 km | ¥169,800–¥215,800 |
| ES9 | 274 kW | 7 | 143 km | 1,215 km | ¥229,800 |
| Xiangwang S9 | 368 kW, AWD | 5 or 6 | 252 km | 1,200 km | ¥229,900–¥259,900 |
Which GAC SUV is best for families?
If you need seven seats, choose between the petrol GS8 and the plug-in ES9. The ES9 uses a 2-3-2 layout and has 143 km of electric range; the GS8 is simpler to maintain and offers AWD. For five-seat families, the Xiangwang S7 offers the most electric range for the money.
Which GAC SUV has the most technology?
The Xiangwang S9 Qiankun comes standard with Huawei's Qiankun ADS driver assistance with lidar, the HarmonySpace cockpit, a head-up display and 21 speakers. The Xiangwang S7 offers lidar-assisted driving on its Lidar trims at a much lower price.
What about off-road styling?
The Yue 7, launched in China in September 2026, is GAC's boxy adventure-styled plug-in SUV. Its AWD versions have 425 kW of combined motor output and reach 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds. It suits lifestyle buyers and tour operators who want a rugged look without a diesel engine.
