2025 GAC GS8
What Is It?
The 2025 GAC GS8 is a seven‑seat petrol SUV aimed at buyers who need space, presence and usable performance. Powered by a 252 hp engine with an automatic transmission and full‑time or selectable 4WD, the GS8 accelerates from 0–100 km/h in 7.5 seconds, positioning it as a relatively quick family hauler that can double as a comfortable highway cruiser or weekend getaway vehicle for UAE households.
Design & Exterior
Visually the GS8 carries the upright proportions of a modern three‑row SUV with a commanding road presence that suits Abu Dhabi boulevards and Dubai highways alike. The higher ride height and 4WD drivetrain give drivers confidence on sand‑adjacent roads and in wet conditions, while large glass areas and well‑defined surfacing make for a practical, easy‑to‑clean exterior in the region’s dusty, sunny climate.
Interior & Comfort
Inside, the seven‑seat layout is focused on family practicality and long‑distance comfort, offering flexible seating for passengers and luggage when travelling between emirates. The cabin layout emphasizes space for adults in the first two rows and a usable third row for children or occasional adult use, combined with climate control and ventilation considerations that are essential in the UAE’s hot weather to keep occupants comfortable on long journeys or during heavy traffic.
Performance & Engine
At the heart of the GS8 is a 252 hp petrol engine mated to an automatic gearbox and a 4WD system, delivering brisk real‑world performance and capable motorway merging and overtaking. The quoted 0–100 km/h time of 7.5 seconds underlines its sporty potential for the segment. As a petrol 4WD seven‑seat SUV, drivers should expect fuel consumption to reflect its size and drivetrain; actual economy will vary with driving style, AC use in high ambient temperatures and whether you spend more time in city traffic or on open highways.
Safety & Tech Features
The GS8 is presented as a modern family SUV and in most markets is offered with an array of electronic driver aids and occupant protection systems appropriate to its class. For UAE buyers, confirm the exact safety and infotainment specification at your local dealer to understand which active and passive systems—airbags, stability control, parking aids and infotainment connectivity—are included on the trim you choose.
Why Buy It in the UAE?
The GS8 suits UAE lifestyles that blend long inter‑emirate driving, family transport and occasional off‑pavement outings near the desert. Its combination of seven‑seat practicality, 4WD traction and 252 hp performance makes it a compelling option for large families, drivers who need space for guests or staff, and those who prioritise a confident highway vehicle. Petrol is widely available across the UAE, and the automatic transmission paired with a quick 0–100 km/h time translates to relaxed motorway cruising and effective overtaking when needed.

The 2025 GAC GS8 launches in the UAE with a starting price of AED 169,900. Final purchase cost will depend on chosen trim, options and dealer packages; buyers should also factor in running costs such as petrol, insurance and servicing when comparing alternatives.
