The 2026 GS8 Traveller has a bold and modern design. At the front, there’s a large chrome grille with big GAC lettering in the middle. It also has updated fog lights and bigger air intakes for a stronger look. The sleek LED headlamps keep their original design, adding style to the front.

On the sides, the SUV has new 20-inch alloy wheels and power folding mirrors. It also has roof rails and a panoramic sunroof, making it more practical and giving a roomy feel. At the back, there are modern LED taillights, a sporty roof spoiler, and a storage box mounted on the powered tailgate. This gives the GS8 Traveller a fresh and tough look!

The GAC GS8 Traveller has a spacious and comfortable cabin with three rows of seats. The seats are covered in leather and have a cooling function for extra comfort. The driver’s seat can move in six directions and has memory settings.

The front passenger seat can move in four ways. Multicolour ambient lighting adds a nice touch to the inside. There’s also a wireless phone charger and ISOFIX points for child seats. All these features make it a great choice for families who want comfort and safety.

The new SUV is offered with a single 2.0L turbo-petrol engine mated to an Aisin 8-speed automatic transmission. Here are the performance figures:

The vehicle offers multiple drive modes, including Eco, Comfort, Sport, Sand, Mud, and Snow, allowing it to adapt smoothly to a variety of driving conditions. The SUV is also equipped with an all-wheel drive system, which helps tackle rough terrain.

The soft suspension makes it comfortable to ride, even on bumpy roads. When you go off-road, the all-wheel-drive system helps you stay in control, even on dirt tracks or gravel roads. Inside, it’s quiet and relaxing, making it perfect for long trips. Overall, it’s a big, comfy SUV that’s easy to drive.
