Safety

The GAC GS8 delivers a confident and reassuring driving experience thanks to a suite of advanced safety technologies. Its active safety systems include electronic stability control and an anti-lock braking system, which work together to enhance control, especially on slippery roads.

Blind spot sensors improve safety during lane changes, while the 360 degree surround view camera offers a comprehensive view of the surroundings, making parking and maneuvering in tight spaces easier. In addition, the Lane Departure Alert System continuously monitors road markings and alerts the driver in case of unintentional lane deviation.

For passive safety, the GS8 features a strong chassis constructed from high strength materials designed to absorb impact energy and reduce the severity of collisions. Multi directional airbags covering the front and sides further enhance occupant protection, helping to minimize injury risk in the event of an accident.

Cost of Buying the Car

The GAC GS8 starts at approximately SAR 135,000, positioning it as a competitive choice in the mid size luxury family SUV segment. For buyers considering installment payments, a 20% down payment of SAR 27,000 and a five year repayment plan with an annual interest rate of 1.9% results in monthly payments of around SAR 2,165. This makes the GS8 a balanced option for those seeking both performance and affordability.

In the used car market, the GS8 demonstrates strong value retention. After three years of use, pre-owned models typically sell for around SAR 95,000, which represents roughly 70% of the vehicle's original value. This strong resale performance underscores the GS8’s appeal as a smart long term investment.

Cost of Ownership

Powered by a fuel efficient gasoline engine, the GAC GS8 offers solid performance while keeping fuel consumption in check. With an average fuel consumption of 12 liters per 100 kilometers and a fuel price of SAR 2.33 per liter, monthly fuel costs come to about SAR 364, assuming a monthly driving distance of 1,300 kilometers. This translates to an annual fuel cost of approximately SAR 4,370, placing the GS8 among the more economical options in its class.

Regular maintenance is recommended every 10,000 kilometers or every six months, in line with the manufacturer’s guidelines. Each maintenance visit typically costs around SAR 1,200. These scheduled services help extend the vehicle’s lifespan, reduce the risk of unexpected repairs, and ensure the GS8 continues to offer a dependable and cost effective driving experience over time.
