The 2026 GAC M8 is a premium seven-seat MPV that targets the upper end of the family van segment, blending business-lounge cabin ambiance with genuine seven-passenger practicality. It sits as one of GAC's flagship models and arrives in the UAE with prices starting from AED 159,000.
Both variants share a turbocharged 2.0 L petrol engine producing 248 BHP, paired with an Automatic gearbox. The entry 2.0T GT trim covers the essentials well — powered sliding doors, captain's chairs in the second row, and a dual-screen entertainment setup. Stepping up to the 2.0T GX (priced from AED 179,900) adds a more lavished interior finish, enhanced ambient lighting, additional rear-seat massage and recline functions, and a larger panoramic sunroof — upgrades that directly justify the premium for buyers prioritising rear-passenger comfort. The cabin accommodates 7 passengers across three rows and achieves 10 Km/L on a mixed cycle, competitive for a full-size MPV.
Pros: the second-row captain's chairs offer a business-class level of recline and adjustment that undercuts the Toyota Sienna on price noticeably; interior fit and finish has taken a meaningful step forward over earlier GAC products and competes credibly with the Kia Carnival. Cons: GAC's dealership and service network in the UAE remains smaller than those of Honda, Toyota, or Kia, which matters over a multi-year ownership; resale values for the brand are still establishing themselves in this market, adding a degree of uncertainty at trade-in time.
The M8 is a relatively recent entrant in the UAE market and residual data is still forming. Buyers should treat resale values as uncertain and budget conservatively — Chinese-brand MPVs at this price point are yet to build a deep used-car track record locally.
Buyers cross-shopping the GAC M8 typically also consider the Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna, and Kia Carnival — all seven-seat MPVs in a broadly similar price bracket built around second-row comfort. The M8's advantage is a more lavish interior at a lower entry price; the Japanese and Korean rivals counter with more established dealer networks and proven resale values.
