AVTODOM conducted test drives of GAC M8 and LiXiang Li9 for participants of the Eagle Trophy Autumn Cup 2024 golf tour

The Eagle Trophy Autumn Cup combines sports, recreation and informal business communication. Athletes fought for victory and participated in a test drive of premium GAC M8 and LiXiang Li9 cars, provided by the tournament partner AVTODOM Group.

Golfers highly appreciated the futuristic GAC M8 minivan. It combines the highest level of comfort, unique design and innovative technologies. Convenient arrangement of seats according to the 2+2+3 formula creates a feeling of spaciousness. The seats are equipped with massage, ventilation and heating functions. The 12.3-inch touchscreen dashboard makes it easy to control the car's functions. A two-liter turbocharged engine with a capacity of 231hp gives the minivan excellent dynamics.

The test drive participants were able to appreciate the unrivaled comfort of the ride in the six-seater hybrid Li9 SUV, thanks to the suburban location of the golf club and the presence of dirt roads. The Magic Carpet Air Suspension with an intelligent system that instantly adapts to road conditions provided them with comfort. The driver has four modes at his disposal: electric, joint operation of the internal combustion engine and electric motor, exclusively internal combustion engine and kickdown mode for instant acceleration. It allows accelerating to 100 km/h in just 5.3 seconds. The 7.3.4 Dolby Atmos audio system includes 21 speakers. It is synchronized with the passenger seats on the 4D principle. This allows completely relaxing and immersing in listening to music.

All participants of the event could appreciate the presented full-size luxury crossover BMW X7. Lightness and dynamism are combined in this thanks to the sporty design. Four off-road modes allow more precise adaptation of the BMW xDrive all-wheel drive system to driving conditions.

The award ceremony for the winners of the tournament became the culmination of the day. It was possible to prepare for this in the beauty zone. Professional stylists helped guests create impeccable individual images.

The winners of the tournament received gift certificates from the only driving experience center in Russia, Driving Experience BMW, to the racing academy from AVTODOM Group. Classes at the Academy are held under the guidance of certified instructors of BMW M Driving Experience, active athletes, winners of national and international racing series and are held all year round.

The evening passed in an atmosphere of autumn warmth and coziness. It was created with the help of original flower arrangements. The cover band Patirakety and the DJ set provided musical accompaniment.

"The athletes surprised with their skills. They demonstrated the art of balance between strength and precision, the ability to take into account all factors from the wind to the distance to the hole. It is a great honor for us to act as partners of the tournament. We are pleased with the sincere interest shown by golfers in the Li9 and GAC M8, high-tech cars that meet the needs of golf lovers due to their spacious interior and comfort in any road conditions," – Elena Chistyakova, Director of the AVTODOM West Division, commented.
