About the GS8
Positioning
The GAC GS8 is GAC's large-feeling midsize SUV, aimed at buyers who want generous road presence and strong turbo performance without moving into premium-brand pricing. The 2026 model is a five-door, five-seat SUV, which suits families and fleet operators who value cabin and cargo space over a third row.
Powertrain and Trims
Every GS8 uses GAC's 4B20J1 2.0-litre turbocharged direct-injection inline-four. It produces 252 PS (185 kW) and 400 N·m and is paired with an 8-speed automatic with manual mode. The engine is certified to China National VI emissions, so importers should confirm that this standard is accepted in their market.
The range has two versions. The 2.0TGDI 2WD is the front-wheel-drive model. It is the sensible pick for urban fleets and markets where buyers rarely leave paved roads.
The GS8 Navigator Series 4WD Luxury Edition tops the range. It adds part-time four-wheel drive using a multi-plate clutch system, which gives extra traction on gravel, sand-blown roads and wet surfaces, along with the most complete equipment level.
What Buyers Like
Buyers point to the strong mid-range pull from the 400 N·m turbo engine, which keeps the GS8 confident when fully loaded or overtaking on highways. The 8-speed automatic with manual mode suits both relaxed cruising and more deliberate driving. A choice of 2WD and 4WD lets re-exporters match stock to local conditions, and the GS8 offers a lot of size and power for the money.
Common Gripes
A 252 PS petrol turbo in a large SUV is not frugal, so fuel costs deserve attention in high-mileage fleet use. The part-time 4WD system is designed for added traction rather than serious off-road work. Parts and service support also varies by country, so buyers should check local GAC dealer coverage. Whether a manufacturer warranty applies depends on GAC's policy in your country, so check with your local authorised dealer before you buy.
