Description

The interior design of the all-new second-generation GS8 is centered around the concept of “Diamonds and Shadows,” combining rhombus and hexagon shapes to create diamond-cut surfaces that refract light in changing rhombus shapes.

Long Wheelbase + Large SUV Grid: Thanks to the GPMA architecture L platform, the all-new second-generation GS8 boasts a sturdy and upright posture with new proportions. The vehicle’s dimensions are 4980/1950/1780mm (5015mm for the Dual-Engine series), with a wheelbase of 2920mm. The longer wheelbase and wider body provide a greater sense of luxury in appearance and a more flexible and versatile spatial experience.

Flexible Seating Layout: The all-new second-generation GS8 offers a choice of 6/7 seat layouts to meet the needs of different users. With a 2+2+2 seat layout, inheriting the advantages of the GAC MPV cabin, the third row is flexible for easy access. With a 2+3+2 seat layout, the second row features electric EZE seats for easy one-touch access, providing the largest third-row access space in its class.

Second-Row “Queen Recliner”: The second-row seats feature 8-stage adjustable backrests with a range of 131°, creating a second-row “Queen Recliner” and a combined “bed” with the first row. Additionally, the second row has an exceptionally long 140mm sliding distance, creating unbeatable legroom for the second row, allowing for easy leg-crossing.

Comprehensive Quiet NVH Technology: The all-new second-generation GS8 features sound-absorbing materials in 42 locations throughout the vehicle, with acoustic partitions designed in 32 key areas, including soundproof pads in the front fender area, full-surround chassis underbody shield design, and expanded welding sealant at the body structure joints, using high-loss factor environmentally friendly damping and vibration isolation materials. Furthermore, to reduce wind noise, the second-generation GS8 adopts three-layer sound-insulating and noise-reducing glass, three-layer door seals, and full-coverage chassis underbody shields for noise insulation and reduction. This achieves noise suppression performance superior to its peers at different speeds:

Idle: In-cabin noise for the driver’s ear is 36dB
60 km/h: In-cabin noise for the driver’s ear is 57dB
80 km/h: In-cabin/external noise for the driver’s ear is 60dB
120 km/h: In-cabin/external noise for the driver’s ear is 67.4dB

Highlighted Features

Dual-Engine Series: Powerful and Fuel-Efficient Toyota THS Hybrid The all-new second-generation GS8 Dual-Engine Series is equipped with the 2.0TM engine paired with the all-new fourth-generation enhanced THS II Toyota Hybrid System. It is the first Chinese brand model to feature Toyota THS hybrid technology and the world’s first model to combine a 2.0T engine with Toyota THS hybrid technology. Thanks to this top-level powertrain combination, the Dual-Engine Series achieves a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 6.9 seconds and an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.3L/100km. Under regular conditions, a full tank can travel over 1000km, and under extreme testing conditions, it can reach up to 2022km on a single tank, making it the golden choice for consumers seeking a balance between power and fuel consumption.

Efficient 2.0TM Engine: The high-efficiency 2.0TM engine is GAC’s third-generation Miller-cycle engine, featuring advanced technologies such as GAC’s GCCS combustion control, Miller cycle, and 350bar high-pressure direct injection system. It delivers a maximum power of 140kW, maximum torque of 320N·m, and a class-leading maximum thermal efficiency of 40.23%.

All-New Fourth-Generation Enhanced THS II Toyota Hybrid System: Through components such as the hybrid powertrain transmission, power control unit, power battery, HV-ECU vehicle controller, and P4 rear electric drive unit (for four-wheel-drive models), the all-new fourth-generation enhanced THS II Toyota Hybrid System can efficiently control the distribution of fuel power and electric power. Even when operating in the most efficient range, it achieves low fuel consumption without compromising on power.

E-FOUR Electronic Four-Wheel Drive System: Equipped with the E-FOUR electronic four-wheel drive system’s proprietary Trail Off-Road mode, allowing for easy escape with just one press.
