The Chinese concern GAC has announced the start of sales of the new Trumpchi Empow sedan in sports style, which should appeal to young people.

The debut prototype of the sedan called Trumpchi Empow was demonstrated by the GAC brand last fall at the Guangzhou Motor Show. In June 2021, the novelty is ready for sale.

In terms of size, the sedan is similar to the current foreign cars Volkswagen Jetta or Hyundai Elantra. The body is stretched in length by 4700 mm, width is 1850 mm. The height reached 1432 mm. There are 2736 mm between the wheels, so the passengers in the second row will have plenty of space.

The GAC Trumpchi Empow starter kit has LED optics and 16-inch casting. Also in the range of models there is a top version with additional sports style. The set includes a different radiator grille, rethought bumpers, a spoiler on the trunk lid, round exhaust pipes, 18-inch wheels and decorative elements on the body.

The interior has integrated screens of the dashboard and multimedia system with a diagonal of 10.25 inches each.

Even in the basic configuration, the designers decorated the interior with contrasting inserts. A large button to start the engine is located in the center of the tunnel. The list of options includes the electric drive of the first row of seats and the hatch.

The car is designed on the modular platform Global Platform Modular Architecture. Previously, this architecture has already been used for the Trumpchi GS4 SUV. Representatives of the brand equipped the sports novelty with an independent suspension in the rear. At the same time the drive at the car is exclusively forward.

This model debuted last year at the auto show in Guangzhou, China. Now it became known that the new product will be released on the home market in July 2021.

Externally, the sedan GAC Trumpchi Shadow Panther with a striking sporty character has a slightly defiant and aggressive design. Sharp corners, embossed stampings around the entire perimeter of the body, bright decor and a swift silhouette.

Moreover, for the design of the front of the sedan, the automaker has provided two options. The interior of the car is more restrained, although bright yellow accents are present here as well. The virtual dashboard visually represents a single whole with the multimedia touchscreen.

This layout has recently become a favorite among premium car manufacturers. Originally designed air ducts complement the interior, and the number of physical buttons is minimized.

The central tunnel turned out to be wide: the selector of the robotic gearbox organically fit here. The Shadow Panther is based on the Trumpchi GPMA architecture.

In the model range of the brand, the sports sedan will be located between inexpensive and luxury models. Under the hood of the novelty is a one-and-a-half-liter 177-horsepower turbo engine, combined with a seven-speed “robot”. The cost of the sedan will be announced closer to the start of sales.

Earlier, AutoTimesNews said that the first photos of the updated Hyundai Palisade crossover got to the Network. The official premiere of the novelty is scheduled for next year. So for now, let’s be content with spy shots of test machines.
