Not a great choice for long drives

5/5 Excellent 22 views

For a few weeks, I’ve been using the GAC GS8 as my primary vehicle, and while it's stylish and spacious, I’ve noticed a few issues during longer drives. When I drive this car continuously for long hours the heat from the engine makes the cabin warm which feels very uncomfortable. Due to this issue, I get distracted while driving. Around the engine bay, insulation is not that effective. While to some extent the air conditioning can offset, it doesn't resolve the issue fully. If you’re considering the GS8, buy it only if you will use it for cooler climates or short commutes.

formidable contender as a SUV from Gac
I never could underestimate this Chinese model since I saw it for the first time. I could easily sense that this is not just implying the preconceived notion that SUV is all about its size. On the contrary this could specify how it has to do with comfort or style factor. The... Read More

Highly captivating small sized Gac model
I got lured at the signature style of this car when I first saw this. The front portion can easily captivate its target audience as it oozes out curb appeal. The factor gets testified with its edgy lines, boxy front end and sharp detailing. The chrome application over the car... Read More
