Most likely, Russian customers will be offered a new generation of pure gasoline SUV, while at home the model is still in the form of a hybrid.
In general, second-generation GAC GS8 three-row crossovers have already been brought to Russia, but they were “parallel” cars. At the beginning of this year, information appeared that the local representative office of the Chinese concern would arrange official deliveries of a fresh SUV. And now the Russian office of the GAC, finally, announced the model itself: the new GS8 “hangs” on the brand’s consumer website, albeit without characteristics yet.

Recall that such a cross made its debut in China in 2021, where it is presented under the Trumpchi brand (this brand is not used in other countries). The SUV moved to a new “trolley” and radically changed both outside and inside. In addition, at home Trumpchi GS8 has found a hybrid version with a slightly different design of the front end and an electromechanical variator from Toyota (GAC has been cooperating with a Japanese company for a long time). However, in Russia, most likely, only a purely gasoline version will be available.
