Overview

The Trumpchi GA3 is based on the same platform as the later developed Trumpchi GS3 crossover, positioning it under the Trumpchi GA5 sedan. [4] [5] Originally introduced as the Trumpchi GA3 sedan, it debuted on the 2013 Shanghai Auto Show and was launched on the Chinese car market soon after in July 2013 with prices ranging from 80,000 to 120,000 yuan. [6] [7] The design of the Trumpchi GA3 is inspired by the Guangzhou Auto E-Jet concept car that debuted on the Guangzhou Auto Show in December 2012. [8] Engine options of the GA3 includes a 1.4 liter turbo engine and a 1.6 liter engine. [9]

A sportier variant named the Trumpchi GA3S was available as an option shortly after, and soon replaced the Trumpchi GA3 directly with the plug-in hybrid version dubbed the Trumpchi GA3S PHEV launched in 2016. Engines are the same as the regular GA3 sedan, a 1.6 liter engine with an output of 122hp, mated to a four-speed automatic transmission or a five-speed manual transmission. [10]
