February 14 is a very romantic day for many young people in love. On that very day, at the brightly lit Grand Tang Mall, people witnessed a perfect encounter between technology and romance. As the absolute protagonist, the Trumpchi E8 PRO+ was officially launched in Xi'an, with a new car price of 216,800 yuan, and those who purchase before March 31 can enjoy a limited-time fixed price of 209,800 yuan. Currently, the Trumpchi E8+ series has three models, priced from 209,800 to 238,800 yuan.

In China's MPV market, GAC Trumpchi can undoubtedly be called a "Chinese MPV expert." As of February 2025, cumulative Trumpchi MPV sales have exceeded 730,000 units, continuously setting new records for Chinese-brand MPVs. After the Trumpchi E8 was officially launched in November 2023, it was also deeply loved by Chinese families. In 14 months on the market, cumulative sales exceeded 50,000 units, firmly ranking first in mid-size MPV sales and ushering in the 3.0 era of Chinese family vehicles.
So, compared with the previous MAX+ and Longteng+ versions, what is different about the Trumpchi E8 PRO+, which can be driven home for only 209,800 yuan at the "limited-time fixed price"?
In terms of exterior, the front of the Trumpchi E8 PRO+ continues the family-style design language. The wide and solid body structure, paired with the classic MPV shape, delivers a strong sense of luxury while not lacking a sense of safety. The front face uses a horizontal-slat intake grille, which is imposing and luxurious, while the through-type daytime running lights and split headlight groups are also clearly layered, meeting Chinese consumers' aesthetic needs.
On the side, the body dimensions of the Trumpchi E8 PRO+ remain unchanged, with length, width, and height still at 4920mm×1900mm×1760mm and a wheelbase of 2930mm. Straight lines extend from the front to the rear, with concave and convex treatment in some areas, making it look more stylish. In addition, the new car's dual sliding doors and tailgate can all be opened electrically, and the second- and third-row windows as well as the rear windshield are privacy glass.

At the rear, the relatively steady square shape makes the entire rear windshield look very wide. Together with the through-type light strip and the illuminated GAC Trumpchi logo, it is highly recognizable when lit at night.

Stepping inside, the interior of the Trumpchi E8 PRO+ can be described as both classic and fashionable, while also full of technology. The wood grain and leather-wrapped areas in the interior have been upgraded, and the overall impression is still very warm, suitable for family use and also meeting business reception needs.
In terms of configuration, there is an 8.88-inch digital LCD instrument panel and a 14.6-inch high-definition central control screen, equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, and integrated with the AI persona Xiaoqi, which allows visible-and-speakable interaction across all scenarios and natural-logic dialogue. The overall experience is quite good.

As an MPV model, ride comfort is naturally the top priority. The second and third rows of the Trumpchi E8 PRO+ offer relatively high specifications. Among them, the second row has ventilation, heating, and massage functions for both seats and supports zero-gravity mode. In addition, to provide better spatial flexibility, the second-row seats support lateral movement, allowing convenient access to the third row through movement or enjoying a spacious four-seat configuration. The third-row seats support concealed storage and can fold backward as a whole to meet household needs in different scenarios.
In particular, the class-exclusive dual super zero-gravity seats support ventilation/heating/massage, and the backrest can be adjusted up to 168 degrees, greatly improving ride comfort.
As plug-in hybrid MPVs under Trumpchi New Energy, all models in the Trumpchi E8+ series use a 2.0L engine paired with an electric motor for drive, with the engine producing a maximum power of 103KW and a maximum torque of 180N·m, and the front motor producing a maximum power of 134KW and a maximum torque of 300N·m. The CLTC driving range with a full charge and full tank reaches 1200km, with a pure electric range of 150km. Pure electric power can be used for daily commuting, and there is no need to worry on long trips. Its 3.3kW external discharge power turns the vehicle into a mobile "power bank," meeting the electricity needs of outdoor camping.

In summary, the Trumpchi E8 PRO+ launched this time has 21 configuration upgrades compared with the previous Trumpchi E8 PRO. Although it is the entry-level version of the lineup and the price has been further lowered, it still offers front-row seat ventilation and heating, panoramic view, transparent chassis, dual electric sliding doors, electric sunroof, 14.6-inch central control screen, automatic air conditioning, and other configurations, so overall value for money is still very high.
According to Auto DNA's understanding, based on the "2024 China Automobile Retention Rate Report" jointly released by the China Automobile Dealers Association and Jingzhengu, the one-year retention rate of the Trumpchi E8+ tops the plug-in hybrid MPV ranking.

With high value, high sales, and high retention rate, the Trumpchi E8+ has now become a truly optimal choice for Chinese family vehicles. If a family can only buy one car, the Trumpchi E8+ is undoubtedly the best choice.
