The new Trumpchi M8 Grandmaster series should be the MPV model that has received the most attention in the past two months (those who really want to buy it are more concerned about it, while those who like Ji Krypton 009 are more interested in watching the excitement). Feilv Automobile has already expressed its static about this car. and dynamic parts were evaluated, and today the editor will bring you the content of the headlight test. This car is also the fourth MPV model in the Feili Auto headlight test column. We have tested the Odyssey, GL8 and Mercedes-Benz V-Class before. It is certain that today’s protagonist, the M8 Grandmaster series, is the most impressive in the lighting department. The most qualified and impressive player! Even if Alpha comes over, he is the younger brother in terms of visual effects!
Since we have already experienced the static and dynamic content of this car before, this issue will get straight to the point and directly share with you the lighting experience of this car and the headlight irradiation distance test.

Model: 2023 Grandmaster Series Double Engine Royal (top configuration of 342,800 yuan)
Light source: Both high and low beams are LED Features: Matrix, height adjustment, adaptive high and low beams
Headlight quotation: The price of the headlights of the Trumpchi M8 Grandmaster series, which has just been launched a few days ago, is not easy to find. Many dealers have not yet obtained the accurate calibration price. After the editor inquired from many sources, I got an order. In terms of price range, the replacement cost of a single headlight assembly of the Grandmaster version is between 5,800 and 6,500 yuan. Judging from the price of the car and the specifications of the headlights, the price of the headlights is not expensive. For example, the Volvo XC40 pure electric version we tested costs 286,000 yuan, and a single headlight costs 17,000 yuan. It can be seen that the luxury brand Zero to whole ratio. From the shape to the configuration of the M8 headlights, this price is definitely outstanding among independent models in the same price range.
Lamp group composition & configuration analysis:
The headlights of the Trumpchi M8 Grandmaster series are really quite good looking. Not only is it fierce enough, but it also has a full sense of technology. The official name is "Eye of Awakening". It is said that there are 388 LED lamp beads inside the headlight. In fact, the internal structure looks very complicated. It is very impressive when lit at night. The area that can be lit is very wide, like A barrier of light. In addition, the configuration is equipped with adaptive high and low beams, automatic headlights, headlight height adjustment and delayed shutdown.
The taillights are also very gorgeous, echoing the headlights. It is composed of a horizontal penetrating light group and a vertical light strip. It is said that there are 320 LED lamp beads inside. After lighting up, it is different from some MPV models currently on the market that use penetrating light groups. It will look very cool when you get close at night. At the same time, The recognition is really high enough. Personally, I think that the fact that the car logo is not lit up is actually a more pleasing thing. Even for Rolls-Royce, the editor feels that it is unnecessary to make the car logo light up, which is a bit low.
The headlights of the Trumpchi M8 Grandmaster series will bring a full animation effect when lit. When the vehicle is unlocked, the LED daytime running lights will light up sequentially from bottom to top. The process is very smooth without any lag, and the headlights are still bright. Sweeping it up and down makes the whole process very ritualistic!
Car light brightness measurement unit: Lux (Lux)
Definition: When an object is uniformly illuminated by light and the luminous flux obtained on an area of 1 square meter is 1 lumen, its illumination (light intensity) is 1 Lux.
Note: In the actual test of Feiling Auto, in a dark room, an ordinary candle is lit, and when the human eye is 30cm away from the candle flame, the light intensity experienced is 10Lux.
In the aspect of car light irradiation distance, we take the brightness of 10Lux as the minimum illumination limit, and take the distance value when this brightness is reached, which is the end point of irradiation for the final measured headlight score. 20cm is generally the minimum height of the vehicle's front bumper from the ground. We choose this position as the lowest position illuminated by the light. The distance from this position to the headlights is the illumination distance.
Low beam irradiation distance: relatively balanced, actual effect is good
Overall, the low-beam performance of the Trumpchi M8 Grandmaster series is in line with expectations, with a score of 90 points over 50 meters. For a car with a relatively high sitting position like the M8, the illumination height of the headlights is very important, and there is no problem in actual experience. Generally speaking, the brightness of the headlights of a vehicle is farthest on the right side to prevent glare. In fact, everyone can clearly find this when driving at night. It is worth mentioning that the distance between the left, center and right of the low beam of this car is relatively balanced, and there is no situation where the light on one side is very close. For example, the Toyota Highlander (price: 348,800 yuan) we tested before has a farthest low beam of 68.9 meters and a nearest 32.3 meters, which is more than double the difference. The left side obviously feels too close, which is more affecting. Actual experience.
High beam irradiation distance: the results are not “cost-effective”
The high beam score of the M8 Grandmaster series is 98.6 meters. To be honest, this score is adequate but not ideal enough. If combined with the price of the car, the high beam performance is not "cost-effective". Here is a comparison for you. The Toyota Highlander we tested before (price: 348,800 yuan) is 100.1 meters; the Tank 300 (price: 215,800 yuan) is 112.6 meters; the Geely Xingyue L (price: 185,200 yuan) ) is 122.9 meters. To sum up, the high-beam performance of the M8 Master Edition is indeed average, or it does not meet expectations.
To sum up, the actual performance of headlights really cannot be measured by pricing and technology. Without a real test, it is impossible to judge! This is also a very interesting point in the headlight test column, because it is full of unknowns.
Actual experience of adaptive high and low beam function:
The editor has mentioned the configuration of adaptive high and low beams many times in previous articles. A useful adaptive high beam can greatly reduce the burden on the driver, so the actual experience is very important. .
The automatic high beam of Trumpchi M8 Grandmaster series is turned on at 32km/h and turned off at 22km/h (instrument panel speed)
Actual experience: After passing a vehicle on the right, the high beam turns on promptly.
It is worth mentioning that the lighting configuration of the M8 Grandmaster series is standard for the entire series, and the entry-level version worth 269,800 yuan has not been discounted. During the experience, in the adaptive mode, the camera judged the real-time environment ahead and turned on the high beam very efficiently, and there was no difficulty in turning it on. When the vehicle detects a more eye-catching light source ahead, it will automatically turn off the high beam. The area where the vehicle's high beam is turned off can be quickly lit up by the flash of a luminous object, illuminating a dim environment.
In-car lighting experience:
It is estimated that many friends have a feeling that traditional joint venture brand models are very stingy with ambient lighting. Some brands’ models worth 200,000 to 300,000 yuan do not even have ambient lighting now. Although many independent models are equipped with many configurations, they do not have enough lighting and atmosphere. Either it is low or it is more casual; switching to luxury brands such as Mercedes-Benz and many new power brands, the style of the car has changed. Facts have proved that the lighting in the car really affects the user experience. There is no need to worry about the M8 Grandmaster series in this regard. The ambient light has complete functions such as optional color, brightness adjustment, light mode, and zone opening and closing.
Especially in the second row area, the atmosphere created by the lighting is very good. The light strip on the roof runs through the back of the second row of seats. Passengers can adjust the color of the light according to their mood and preferences, whether it is soothing or rhythmic. If you use the large ceiling-mounted screen in the back row to display a popular music video, the entire carriage will look like a nightclub.
Editor's summary:
In general, the headlight experience of the M8 Grandmaster series is generally good. The lights are good-looking and the lighting effects are gorgeous enough, which can add a sense of nobility. The exquisite shape of the light group and the outstanding sense of welcome ceremony are all in the current MPV. It is one of the best in the industry, and at the same time, various functions are also in line with current fashion trends. The low beam can score high if it exceeds 50 meters, but in the test of the high beam illumination distance, to be honest, the results are not good enough. It fails to reach 100 meters and is also weaker than some lower-priced independent models in the past. So again, the car price/light price is not equal to the actual performance. This conclusion has been confirmed many times in the Feiling headlight test. Since we did the Trumpchi M8 in this issue and the Mercedes-Benz V-Class in the last issue, let’s make an MPV collection for everyone! Let me give you a preview: The next issue will be a Toyota MPV that previously had a price increase of 70,000 to pick up the car!
