GAC's GS5 undercuts almost every established compact SUV in the UAE on price while matching most of them on equipment — leather, a sizeable touchscreen and driver assistance that used to be reserved for cars a class above.
Buy on condition, not calendar year. The model is new enough to the UAE that every example in circulation is recent, so there is no earlier generation to worry about outgrowing and no facelift to time around.
The Mitsubishi ASX is the safer, more established choice if brand history matters to you, at a similar spend. The Jetour T2 is the closer comparison — another young Chinese SUV — though our checks find it holding up on paint and panels noticeably better than the class expects. A Hyundai Tucson costs more but comes with a dealer network you will find on every street corner, which matters if something does go wrong.
Inspected cars are running a median of about 88,000 km without anything concerning showing up at that mark. As with most modern turbo four-cylinders, the service interval matters more than any headline durability number.
Compare a GS5 against the ASX and the T2 while you have both open — CarSwitch's live stock makes it a one-tab job.
