The GAC GS8, a competitor to the Ford Everest, is about to go on sale in Vietnam.

The GAC GS8 boasts a boxy, masculine design. Exterior details such as the grille and headlights are angular, creating an attractive appearance. The vehicle has a wheelbase of 2,920 mm and overall dimensions of 4,980 x 1,950 x 1,780 mm (length x width x height). With these dimensions, the GS8 is not only larger than the Ford Everest but also surpasses the Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento.

The GAC GS8 is equipped with standard LED headlights, a ground clearance of 200 mm, and weighs over 1.8 tons. The MacPherson front suspension and multi-link rear suspension ensure stable and smooth handling. 20-inch wheels with 255/50R20 tires contribute to its robust appearance.

The GS8's cockpit boasts a modern and youthful style with a large 14.6-inch central display screen and a 12.3-inch LCD speedometer behind the steering wheel. The car uses an electronic gear selector and a 2 or 3-zone independent climate control system depending on the version.

All seats are upholstered in premium leather, and the front seats can recline flat for maximum comfort. The top-of-the-line GS8 also features a panoramic sunroof, providing a luxurious experience for users.

The GAC GS8 is equipped with a 2-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, producing 252 horsepower and a maximum torque of 400 Nm. The 8-speed automatic transmission, supplied by Aisin (Japan), ensures smooth operation and fuel efficiency. This engine is also used in the GAC M8 MPV, another GAC product soon to be launched in Vietnam.

This Chinese SUV model boasts a full range of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) such as collision warning, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control. These features not only enhance safety but also provide convenience and comfort for the driver.

In China, the GAC GS8 is sold under the Trumpchi brand name, with a starting price of $20,040 for the front-wheel drive version and $28,400 for the all-wheel drive version. Upon its arrival in Vietnam, the GS8 will directly compete with rivals such as the Ford Everest (1.099-1.545 billion VND) and the Hyundai Santa Fe (1.029-1.369 billion VND).
