• Gargash Motors launches three bold GS8 SUV variants in Dubai.
  • Off-road thrills and tech-loaded test drives steal the spotlight.
  • Hybrid model blends power and fuel efficiency like a pro.
  • Luxury meets practicality with massage seats and mood lighting.

If “SUV goals” was a real award, the 2026 GAC GS8 range would already have a trophy shelf. Gargash Motors just rolled out its freshest flex at the Dubai Autodrome with a media and influencer event that looked more like a high-octane fashion show for cars than your average showroom unveil. We’re talking rugged elegance, digital brains, and enough horsepower to make even the sand dunes blush.

Let’s be real—SUVs in 2025 aren’t just about getting from A to B. They’re your personality on four wheels. That’s exactly why the new GAC GS8 lineup is giving us three distinct moods: The Boss (Petrol), The Eco Genius (Hybrid), and The Adventurer’s Dream (Traveller). Whether you’re commuting through city chaos or living your off-road fantasy, there’s a GS8 with your name (or alter ego) on it.

The launch wasn’t your average key-note-and-buffet deal either. Gargash threw down the gauntlet with an on-and-off-road thrill ride across the Dubai Autodrome. The Traveller took the wild route with some serious mud-slinging action on a purpose-built off-road course, while the Hybrid and Petrol models hit the asphalt to show off their silky-smooth handling and futuristic tech.

Speaking of tech—this SUV doesn’t just drive, it thinks. The Hybrid model rocks GAC’s Mega Wave THS system (no, that’s not a superhero name, but it could be), giving you that 248hp kick with way less guilt at the fuel pump. Toss in multiple drive modes like ECO, Comfort, Sport, and Off-Road, and you’ve got an SUV that’s basically mood-adaptive.

Inside, it’s giving first-class cabin energy. We’re talking ventilated massage seats, a 14.6-inch touchscreen, Alpine sound system, wireless charging, and even an integrated fragrance diffuser. Yeah, your car might have Bluetooth. This one has spa vibes.

Starting at AED 139,900 for the Traveller and topping at AED 169,900 for the Hybrid, the GS8 range is a full-on premium flex without the premium price tag drama. Plus, a 10-year warranty? That’s longer than most Netflix relationships.

In short: Gargash didn’t just launch a new SUV—they launched a whole new SUV era. One that says, “Yes, I can tackle dunes and parallel park like a boss.”

If James Bond vacationed in the UAE, he’d definitely drive the GS8 Hybrid. And probably request the Camel interior, obviously!
