While the
Chevrolet Traverse 2021 has a starting price of AED 127,600 and the
Kia Sorento 2021 priced at AED 99,900, the
GAC GS8 2021 2.0T GL (4WD) stands at AED 130,900 including VAT. This model features three available trim levels, with the 2.0T-GL-4WD equipped with a range of amenities such as Airbags, Anti-theft alarm, BA (Brake Assist), Cargo area tie-down anchors, Center Arm Rest, and more.
The GAC GS8 is powered by a robust 2.0-litre 4-cylinder Petrol engine, generating 198 horsepower and 320 Nm of torque, making it a competitive choice in the midsize SUV market. In comparison, the Chevrolet Traverse and Kia Sorento come with larger engines of 3.6-litre and 2.4-litre respectively, but the GS8 offers a more efficient alternative for city driving.
For the United Arab Emirates, the average price of the GS8 across all versions is AED 130,900. Considering an annual depreciation of 35%, we anticipate the 2.0T-GL-4WD to cost around AED 85,085 on the
used car market by next year.
With a fuel tank capacity of 66 litres and an impressive consumption rate of 6 litres per 100 kilometers, filling up the GS8 would cost approximately AED 143.88, based on the current fuel price of AED 2.18 per litre for unleaded gasoline 95. For an average annual commute of 25,000 kilometers, expect to complete 11 fill-ups, totaling around AED 9,496.
The GAC GS8’s modern design and comfortable interior make it a popular choice among families. Additionally, its comprehensive safety features and technology package are tailored to meet the needs of the Middle Eastern market, enhancing its appeal significantly. Overall, the GS8 is a blend of performance, comfort, and practicality, ideal for both urban and off-road adventures.
