GAC Group
Among the 21 GAC Group entries in the MotorJury library, the Trumpchi GS3 holds its own page in a catalogue built to record every car ever made, from series production to one-off concepts. The record places its introduction in 2017. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.
To read the Trumpchi GS3 properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 2010s were the decade electrification stopped being a science project — Tesla forced the incumbents' hand, downsized turbo engines replaced displacement, and the crossover conquered every market. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Tesla Tesla Model 3, the Chevrolet Chevrolet Bolt, the Porsche Porsche Taycan — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.
On paper, the Trumpchi GS3 reads like this: the record lists its engine as Petrol engine / Petrol: / 1.3 L Turbocharger / turbo Inline-four engine / I4 / 1.5 L 3B15J1 turbo Inline-three engine / I3 / 1.5 L I4 / 1.5 L 4A15J1 turbo I4; quoted output is 130 kW; kerb weight is recorded at 1315-1392 kg; drive goes through 5-speed Manual transmission / manual / 6-speed manual / 6-speed Automatic transmission / automatic / 7-speed Dual-clutch transmission / DCT; the layout is Front-engine, front-wheel-drive. Worked together, those figures give roughly 99 horsepower per tonne — the single number that says more about how a car actually moves than any of its parts alone. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear.
Within GAC Group's own catalogue the Trumpchi GS3 sits alongside the Aion LX, the Aion UT, the GAC Motor Enverge (2018), the GAC Trumpchi GS 4 Coupe (2020). The record names the class = Subcompact crossover SUV (B) as its predecessor, anchoring one end of its lineage. Design is credited to Xiao Lin, Wang Pei.
This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.
A specification sheet is only half a car's story. The other half — what breaks, what it costs to keep, which years to avoid — lives in MotorJury's ownership database, computed nightly from federal complaint and recall records and EPA economy data. Where the Trumpchi GS3 was sold in the United States, its model years carry full ownership verdicts there.
Specifications come from the Wikipedia infobox for this model (CC BY-SA) and the open Wikidata record, and are shown only where a source actually carries them — nothing here is estimated. Figures are manufacturer specifications, not measured results.
