Hi Guest
GAC is one of China's largest vehicle groups and a recent entrant in the UAE, and its range here is unusually top-heavy: two compact SUVs, a sports sedan, a seven-seat flagship, a large MPV and an electric crossover. There is no bargain-basement model at the bottom of it.
Shortlist by body style, then see what the used GACs listed now are asking.
How much does a new GAC cost in the UAE?
The 2026 range runs from AED 74,900 to AED 179,900, and that spread tells you the brand is not chasing the cheapest end of the market. The entry car is a fully equipped compact SUV rather than a stripped city car, and the flagships sit where mainstream Japanese seven-seaters are priced.
Which GAC models are sold in the UAE?
The Emzoom and Emkoo are the compact and mid-size SUVs, the Empow is the sports sedan, and the seven-seat GS8, the M8 MPV and the electric Hyptec sit at the top.
GAC or Changan?
GAC aims higher: better-equipped cars, more power for the money and warranties that on some models run to 250,000 km, which is the longest cover anywhere near this price. Changan has been retailing here longer, so its service footprint is wider and used buyers bid more confidently on its cars. If you keep cars for years, GAC's warranty is the stronger argument; if you trade often, Changan's resale is.
What should you check before buying a GAC?
Read the warranty rather than the headline: its exclusions, its mileage ceiling and whether it survives a change of owner, because an unexpired warranty is one of the few things propping up resale on a brand this new here. Then locate the authorised workshops and get the first three service prices quoted in writing.
