As a pioneer and leader in the domestic MPV market, the Buick GL8 is already a household name. Nowadays, the GL8 product line is constantly improving, and the energy forms are more diversified. The high-end business positioning has a realistic family and century series. The new GL8 Lu Shang we test drive today is a plug-in MPV that focuses on the home market. We will fully experience the comprehensive strength of this car from static configuration to dynamic driving. In terms of design, GL8 Lu Shang continues the mature and stable style of the family, and the overall look is versatile, and various scenarios of business and family travel will not appear to be contrary to each other. Lu Shang and Lu Zun are also equipped with large size intake grilles. The most intuitive difference between the two is that Lu Shang does not use split headlights, nor does the front of the car have penetrating daylights, and the visual style is more traditional and pragmatic. The body size is 5219mm × 1878mm × 1807mm, and the wheelbase is 3088mm. At present, many MPVs in the same class are nearly 2 meters wide, and the GL8 Lu has not blindly widened the body. This restrained body specification can better adapt to the urban basement, three-dimensional parking spaces, elevation limits, and narrow alleys in old residential areas, taking into account the practicality of large spaces and daily passage. The interior of the cockpit is the focus of this upgrade, and a number of details have been optimized to further strengthen the household properties. The interior adds a Hermès orange color scheme, giving users more choices. The whole system is equipped with a standard 20,000 stitch rhombus quilting process, and the whole cabin is covered with 2.126 square meters of leather, which has a delicate touch and a full sense of grade. Door panels, stereo covers, armrest boxes, etc. are added with metal workmanship jewelry, which not only improves the precision of the cockpit, but also scratch-resistant and wear-resistant, making daily care more convenient. The front center armrest box has been added in the car, the driver's arm is leaning more comfortably, the storage volume is increased, and the front and rear rows are easy to pick up and store items. The second row is equipped with an expansion dock, one side can be connected to the tablet, the other side can be connected to the makeup mirror, the child can watch the animation on the trip, and the parents can make up the makeup on the car. Two rows of small table boards have been added with slender placement grooves, the edges of the table boards are elevated, and small items such as mobile phones and water cups are placed on them, so you don't have to worry about slipping and rolling. The third row ushered in a key upgrade. The backrest supports a maximum of 135° angle adjustment, realizing two postures of sitting and lying. Passengers of different heights can find a comfortable sitting position, and long-distance rides can also be fully relaxed. Thanks to the unique theater-style three-row seat layout of the same class, the third row will not have the feeling of depression of a "small bench", and the field of view is transparent. 1.8 meters adults, under the premise of maintaining a normal sitting position in the second row, the three-row legs still have a margin of four fingers, and the head space is generous. With the maximum side window of the same class with a width of 0.6 meters, the third row can effectively alleviate the feeling of depression. The seat sponge is replaced with a highly breathable blasting sponge, the breathability is increased by more than 50%, and it is not easy to sweat when riding for a long time; the double hardness foam filling structure makes it soft and does not collapse, and it is not easy to feel fatigued when riding for a long time. The seat is ventilated and heated as standard in the whole system. ‑ It can warm up to 24°C in 150 seconds under extremely cold conditions at 20°C. After exposure to 60°C, the temperature drops below 46°C for 240 seconds. In winter and summer, the seat does not have to endure excessive cooling and overheating. The trunk volume has been upgraded to 1650L, and 7 people are full. You can still put down 9 20-inch suitcases, and the luggage and equipment for the whole family can be stored. Whether it is camping equipment or all kinds of debris, GL8 Lu Shang's loading capacity can fully meet the needs of family camping. At the power level, the GL8 Lu Shang is equipped with a 1.5T hybrid engine + electric drive unit composed of a "dragon" insertion and mixing system that matches the two-stage DHT electric hybrid drive. The comprehensive power of the system is 275kW, and the comprehensive torque is 560N · m. Compared with the old power parameters, this power reserve is fully enough on top of an MPV. The battery is equipped with a 24.4 degree lithium iron phosphate battery, the CLTC has a pure battery life of 142km, and the CLTC has a comprehensive battery life of up to 1500km. For users who have household charging piles, daily commuting can be purely electric, achieving zero fuel consumption; the fuel consumption is 6.35 L/100km, and the comprehensive fuel consumption is 1.24 L/100km, which is a significant reduction compared to the traditional fuel version. Even if the air conditioner is fully loaded in the summer, the cost of the car is greatly optimized. The vehicle adjustment orientation is steady and comfortable. The city commuter priority electric drive output, driving smoothly and quietly, almost can not feel the vibration and noise of the engine, the driving experience is infinitely close to the pure electric model. It does not pursue the outbreak of irritability, the start does not break through, the acceleration is linear, and the power output is released on demand with the opening of the throttle; there is no obvious dragging feeling when the throttle is released, and the driving texture of the whole vehicle is soft, the elderly and children are not prone to motion sickness, and the long-distance drivers and passengers are not easily tired. The pure electric mode supports long-term parking to turn on the air conditioner, audio and video entertainment, no need to start the engine, no exhaust and noise. Waiting for a baby, taking a lunch break in the car, and taking a long break can all have a quiet and comfortable interior environment. At the same time, 3.3kW high-power external discharge is standard, no additional bulky mobile power is required. On weekends, families can go out, camping, cooking, brewing coffee, and outdoor movies can be directly powered. Pure electricity mode solves urban commuting, and the core advantage of hybrid architecture is long-distance travel on holidays. The whole family travels across the city, and you don't need to queue up for charging piles. You can go straight away when you are full of oil and electricity. Under high-speed 120km/h cruising conditions, the engine intervened in the work, but the intervention was well suppressed, and the perception inside the car was not abrupt. The chassis hardware is a front McPherson + rear multi-link independent suspension, no air spring, and no damping hard and soft adjustment, but Buick's adjustment power is fully reflected in this car. The suspension can filter out most of the vibrations in the fine potholes on the city's roads; the high-speed driving body is supported in place, and the overall chassis quality is the most reassuring part of the GL8. Quietness has always been the core advantage of the GL8. Buick library-level silent technology has also landed on Lu Shang. The front and back rows are equipped with double-layer laminated glass. Wind noise and power system noise are effectively isolated from the cabin during driving, creating a quiet driving environment for all passengers. Summarize the real car pain points of the new GL8 Lu Shang aimed at home users. On the basis of retaining the mature chassis skills and excellent space utilization of the GL8, the fuel consumption and endurance anxiety are solved through the insertion and mixing system. At the same time, a large number of home upgrades are completed for the seat, cockpit details and loading capacity. Taking into account the diverse scenarios of urban commuting, family long-distance travel, camping, etc., is also the core reason why it can gain a foothold in the 250,000-level new energy MPV market. If you need a model that combines home use, energy consumption, and the traditional advantages of MPV, the GL8 Lu is still worth considering. (Picture/AutoHome Product Kuwen/AutoHome Zhou Ao).
