The GAC GS8 is a large SUV from the Chinese brand GAC, aiming to compete with Toyota Kluger, Hyundai Palisade, and Nissan Pathfinder in the Australian market.
While the exterior styling is distinctive, the interior trims appear cheap and the engine may feel underpowered for its size.
Equipped with a 2.0-liter turbo-petrol engine, the GS8 offers decent power but lacks in acceleration and performance.
Priced competitively starting at AED149,900, the GS8 comes loaded with features like a 14.6-inch infotainment system and 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat.
The driving experience in the GS8 is comfortable with good ride quality and handling dynamics, although it leans more towards urban driving than off-road adventures.
Safety features include multiple airbags, electronic stability program, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and more, emphasizing on passenger safety.
Overall, the GAC GS8 presents a viable option in the competitive SUV segment, with potential for improvement in interior quality and powertrain.
