This time around, it is the new 2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubicars.com\/new-cars\/gac\/gs-8\">GAC GS8<\/a> Hybrid, ICE, and GS8 Traveller flagship SUVs from the brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The glitzy launch event and the drive experience of all-new SUVs were held at the Dubai Autodrome. In this article, we will concentrate on the hybrid and petrol-only versions, the new GS8 launched in the UAE. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubicars.com\/news\/new-2026-gac-gs8-traveller-launched-in-uae.html\">Click on this linked article to read about the 2026 GAC GS8 Traveller<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-new-2026-gs8-hybrid-price-variants-amp-colours\"><strong>New 2026 GS8 Hybrid Price, Variants &amp; Colours<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The GAC GS8 Hybrid is offered in a single full-loaded variant priced at AED 169,900. While the non-hybrid petrol-only variant is also available in a single trim priced at AED 149,900. Compared to the Traveller, both these SUVs come with more tech on the inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Customers can choose from five different exterior colours and a couple of interior colours, depending on the model. Bookings for the new GS8 Hybrid are now being accepted on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gargashgacmotor.com\/new-vehicles\/new-car-enquiry\/gs8traveller\/\">brand\u2019s official website<\/a>, with deliveries reportedly underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-exterior-design\"><strong>Exterior Design<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2026 GAC GS8 features a bold, upright exterior design emphasising practicality and spaciousness. Its front end sports a large rectangular grille with a mesh pattern, flanked by vertical LED headlamps. A slim LED light strip connects the headlights above the grille, giving it a distinctive face. The vehicle\u2019s boxy shape continues along the sides, where pronounced wheel arches and 20-inch alloy wheels reinforce its robust, squared-off stance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\"  src=\"https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/29164522\/2026-gac-gs8-hybrid-launched-price-specs-features-details-4-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"new 2026 gac gs8 hybrid launched price specs features uae\" class=\"wp-image-82925\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/29164522\/2026-gac-gs8-hybrid-launched-price-specs-features-details-4-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/29164522\/2026-gac-gs8-hybrid-launched-price-specs-features-details-4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/29164522\/2026-gac-gs8-hybrid-launched-price-specs-features-details-4-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/29164522\/2026-gac-gs8-hybrid-launched-price-specs-features-details-4-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/29164522\/2026-gac-gs8-hybrid-launched-price-specs-features-details-4.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At the rear, the nearly vertical window and vertical taillights mirror the front\u2019s style, with a subtle integrated spoiler and a tailgate-mounted storage box on the \u201cTraveller\u201d edition for a rugged touch. Chrome accents outline the windows and grille edges sparingly, while the flat roofline with roof rails and a panoramic sunroof adds practicality and a touch of modern flair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dimensions-check\"><strong>Dimensions Check<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Length: 5,015mm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Width: 1,950mm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Height: 1,780mm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wheelbase: 2,920mm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ground Clearance: 200mm(190mm hybrid)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Boot Space: 450L<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fuel Tank: 65L (58L Hybrid)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Water Wading: Approx. 500mm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Towing: 2,000kg<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-interior\"><strong>Interior<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The interior of the 2026 GAC GS8 is designed to maximise comfort and practicality. It features a spacious layout with three rows of seating, accommodating up to seven passengers. The second row can be configured with either a bench seat or captain\u2019s chairs, enhancing flexibility for passengers and cargo. High-quality materials like soft-touch leather and carefully finished trim contribute to a refined feel throughout the cabin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ambient LED lighting with 32 colour options provides a subtle, customizable atmosphere, while a panoramic sunroof enhances the airy, open sensation. The seats offer both heating and ventilation functions, ensuring passenger comfort in varying climates. Ample legroom and headroom across all rows, combined with thoughtful storage solutions, create a balanced and versatile interior that prioritises practicality without sacrificing style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-technology-features-amp-safety\"><strong>Technology, Features &amp; Safety<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Being the full-loaded top-spec variant,&nbsp; GS8 Traveller comes loaded with a ton of features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/29164513\/2026-gac-gs8-hybrid-launched-price-specs-features-details-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"new 2026 gac gs8 hybrid launched price specs features uae\" class=\"wp-image-82919\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/29164513\/2026-gac-gs8-hybrid-launched-price-specs-features-details-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/29164513\/2026-gac-gs8-hybrid-launched-price-specs-features-details-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/29164513\/2026-gac-gs8-hybrid-launched-price-specs-features-details-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/29164513\/2026-gac-gs8-hybrid-launched-price-specs-features-details-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/29164513\/2026-gac-gs8-hybrid-launched-price-specs-features-details-1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>12.3-inch Instrument Cluster<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>14.6-inch Infotainment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>30-inch Head-up Display (HUD)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Android Auto &amp; Apple CarPlay<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wireless Phone Chargers Pads<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubicars.com\/news\/climate-control-hvac-automotive-terms-guide-details.html\">Tri-zone Climate Control<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Powered &amp; Ventilated Front Seats<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rear Reclining Seats<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>8-speaker Alpine Premium Audio<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubicars.com\/news\/adas-system-automotive-terms-guide-details.html\">Level 2 ADAS Safety Feature<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>360-degree Camera<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tyre Pressure Monitoring System<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Automatic Parking Assist<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubicars.com\/news\/passive-safety-systems-in-a-car-complete-guide.html\">11 Airbags<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-engine-amp-transmission-options\"><strong>Engine &amp; Transmission Options<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The new hybrid SUV is powered by a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubicars.com\/news\/get-to-know-your-car-better-a-detailed-guide-to-automotive-terms-internal-combustion-engine.html\">2.0L turbo-petrol engine<\/a> mated to a CVT automatic.
