This Chinese SUV is powered by a robust 1.8-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine, generating 130 horsepower and 170 Nm of torque, making it a competitive choice in the UAE market. In comparison, both the Hyundai Creta and Suzuki Vitara are equipped with 1.6-litre engines, providing slightly lower power outputs.

For the United Arab Emirates, the average price of the GS Sport, including all versions, is AED 64,900. Considering an annual depreciation of 35%, we anticipate the 1.8L-CLASSIC will be priced around AED 42,185 in the used car market by next year.

The 1.8L-CLASSIC features a 60-litre fuel tank and boasts an average fuel consumption of 7L per 100 kilometers, which means a full tank will cost approximately AED 175.8, based on the current price of AED 2.93 per liter for unleaded gasoline 95. With an annual commute of 25,000 kilometers, expect about 8 fill-ups, totaling AED 1,406.

The brand’s commitment to safety and innovation makes the 1.8L-CLASSIC an appealing option for families and urban drivers alike.
