p>The premiere of the «off-road» version of the large crossover GAC Trumpchi GS8 (the Trumpchi brand GAC uses only at home), which was called Traveler, took place in April at the Shanghai Auto Show. Previously, it was believed that the public was already shown a production car, but, as it turned out, it was an exhibition model. And now a commercial version has been revealed: its photo and main characteristics have been added to the database of the Chinese Ministry of Industry. Well, let us recall that the GS8 of the first generation is still presented in Russia, while in China the second generation model has been sold since 2021.

Judging by the pictures, not all design decisions were decided to be implemented. So, the serial GS8 Traveler did not get more advanced roof rails and additional lights on the roof. But from the Shanghai prototype, massive bumpers, the original radiator grille and diode running lights lined up in columns passed almost unchanged. They also left a “squared” box on the tailgate. In addition, the «off-road» version of the new lining on the wheel arches. Well, instead of the usual emblem, the inscription GAC flaunts on the front.

It is possible that the Trumpchi GS8 Traveler has all-wheel drive by default (the “simple” cross has front-wheel drive versions as well). By the way, in China, the second-generation model still happens in the form of a hybrid with a two-liter turbo engine and a Toyota electromechanical CVT.
