Eastern Aesthetics, Global Appeal
Dual Personality: Choose between the tech-focused “Wings of Kunpeng” (horizontal chrome grille + feather-inspired LEDs) or the bold “Awakening Lion” face (vertical chrome “fangs”). Note: The Lion grille is reserved for top-tier models.
Practical Proportions: At 5,193mm long with a 3,070mm wheelbase, it avoids the parking nightmares of larger rivals. Jewel-like paints like “Royal Purple” and “Palace Gold” elevate its presence.
Flaw: The third-row seats fold but don’t lie flat, limiting cargo versatility.
Performance: 0-100km/h in 8.8s (only 0.1s slower ). WLTC pure-electric range: 106km (136km CLTC). Real-world max range: 1,442km (fuel + electric). 6.05L/100km .
Safety: Battery survives 20-ton crush tests (2x Chinese standards). Rear windshield airbag + 3.2m curtain airbags provide 360° protection.
Tech Equality, Human Touch
Screen Symphony: 7 displays including a 12.3-inch co-pilot screen and 15.6-inch roof-mounted rear screen. 16 Yamaha speakers create a “VIP for all rows” experience.
Health Focus: Industry-first “breeze-free” AC avoids direct drafts. Child presence detection alerts if passengers are left behind.
Software Woes: The Snapdragon 8155 chip is hampered by slow responses and illogical brightness settings—software needs urgent optimization.
Comfort: Second-row seats offer ventilation/heating/massage. Drivers miss massage function. Electromagnetic suspension (MAX/Flagship trims) balances comfort and road feedback, outperforming the Denza D9’s “boat-like” float.
Family First, Business Ready
Families: Foldable 3rd row fits strollers or camping gear. as low as 5.4L/100km (city driving) slashes costs.
Executives: Rear tables + 220V outlets (MAX+ trims) enable mobile offices. Cabin quietness rivals a Mercedes S-Class.
Cold-Climate Warning: Winter range (-4°C) drops to ~170km. Northern drivers should prioritize hybrid mode.
Innovation Without Compromise
Hybrid Mastery:
400+ patents for GMC system. The world’s first dual-motor 2AT parallel/series hybrid delivers “full-speed power” and “all-scenario efficiency”.
Smart Energy Modes:
EV Priority (zero engine in traffic), Battery Conservation (reserve 14kWh for camping), Intelligent Hybrid (AI-powered management). 3.3kW V2L support unlocks outdoor adventures.
The New Reference
The Trumpchi E9 sets a new benchmark for Chinese luxury MPVs with its unrivaled 2.0T hybrid tech, anxiety-crushing range, and culturally resonant design. While software glitches and minor ergonomic oversights (e.g., manual hood prop) need fixing, its powertrain sophistication, safety innovations, and real-world efficiency make it a rational—and revolutionary—choice. As one owner puts it: “It’s not perfect, but it gets my family anywhere in comfort. That’s true luxury.”
