GAC Trumpchi GS3 Price and Review!
The GAC Trumpchi GS3, a compact family SUV from GAC Group, has gained widespread market recognition since its debut in 2017, thanks to its youthful and sporty style combined with a practical design philosophy.
It is equipped with a 1.3L turbocharged engine and a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, paired with either a manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission, offering drivers diverse options. In mid-2019, the Trumpchi GS3 underwent a facelift and upgrade, significantly enhancing its powertrain by replacing the original 1.3L turbocharged engine with a 1.5L turbocharged engine. This change further attracted the attention and affection of young consumers.
Price
In terms of pricing, the retail price of this model in the Chinese market ranges from ¥95,800 to ¥105,800, with an FOB price of approximately $8,000, making it highly competitive!
By 2023, the Trumpchi GS3 adopted a new name—"GS3 Shadow Speed"—and officially became part of GAC's "Shadow" series family. In April 2025, the all-new GS3 was officially launched. Unlike the previous annual updates, this generation underwent comprehensive upgrades in exterior design, interior features, and powertrain, delivering a brand new experience for consumers.

When it comes to the performance of the GS3, YL Automobile has the most expertise and has conducted practical tests for a wide range of customers.
Exterior:
In terms of body dimensions, the 2025 GS3 measures 4410mm in length, 1850mm in width, and 1600mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2650mm. These dimensions provide relatively spacious interior room for family users in the compact SUV market. To cater to the aesthetic preferences of different consumers, the 2025 Trumpchi GS3 Shadow Speed offers two distinct front grille designs: the Star Diamond Grille, featuring a dot-matrix layout for a refined and fashionable look, and the Sharp Premium Grille, which adopts a vertical waterfall design for a more advanced appearance.

Interior:
The new model continues the current design style, emphasizing a technological feel and practicality. The base and high-end variants are equipped with a 7-inch full LCD instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch floating central control screen, respectively, creating a tech-driven driving environment. The models launched in 2025 also excel in smart features. The GS3 comes standard with a fully automatic parking system, an L2-level advanced driver-assistance system with 10 functions, and a 540° panoramic imaging system. For a compact SUV with a starting price of just over ¥80,000, these features are quite impressive.

Performance:
In terms of driving and handling, the Trumpchi GS3 is powered by GAC's third-generation 1.5TGDI turbocharged engine from the Powertrain series. This engine achieves an impressive maximum thermal efficiency of 40.48%, ensuring excellent fuel economy. It delivers a maximum power output of 130 kW (approximately 177 horsepower) and a peak torque of 270 N·m. Paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, this powertrain combination provides a strong and smooth driving experience.
