Overview
In China, the Trumpchi GM8 is classified as a full-size seven-seat MPV, competing with cars like the Buick GL8.[1] It was launched at the 2017 Auto Guangzhou as Trumpchi's first entry into the MPV segment.[2] At launch, the GM8 is the largest passenger car that GAC has ever build and that makes it Trumpchi's flagship MPV. It was launched in the Chinese car market in the first quarter of 2018 with prices ranging from around 180,000 to 270,000 yuan. Originally showed in a seven-seat 2/2/3 setup, GAC also offers a longer variant with more seats.[1][2]

Trumpchi M8
A facelift for the 2021 model year features styling updates as well as a name change and price drop was revealed during the 2020 beijing Auto Show in September 2020. The updated model was renamed to Trumpchi M8 to differentiate from the more expensive pre-facelift model. The facelift design was based on the Master Edition and becomes 23 mm (0.9”) longer than the pre-facelift model and is therefore 5,089 mm long, 1,884 mm wide and 1,822 mm tall with a 3-meter-long wheelbase. The updated Master Edition is 5,156 mm long. The facelift model features restyled instrumental panel, steering wheel and touch-enabled climate control interface.
