“Large MPVs might not be the goose that lays the golden egg, but if you’re after one with a plug-in hybrid powertrain, you have one option – which might be a genius move by the Chinese challenger brand. Furthermore, once you’ve experienced all this oddball people mover has to offer you might seriously consider it over a seven-seat SUV.” – Daniel Gardner for CarSales.com.au

Design Highlights

From the moment you set off, the GAC M8 makes a statement in luxury-family travel.

With its sweeping roofline, bold grille design and elegant body proportions, it conveys sophisticated confidence on every highway and around every turn. Inside, the cabin is spacious and crafted with upscale materials – premium leather, refined wood or metallic accents and ambient lighting set the mood.

The seating has been thoughtfully designed for the journey ahead: seven-seater flexibility, second-row comfort, and an inviting third row if the kids or guests join in. Every detail speaks to purposeful design for families who want to travel in style.

Performance & Driving Dynamics

Road-trips demand more than just looks; the M8 delivers on every front.

With a robust powertrain (including a 2.0L Turbo Petrol + PHEV combination) and advanced engineering, the M8 provides strong acceleration, smooth motorway cruising and confident overtaking.

It’s built to handle the varied terrains New Zealand offers – from coastal highways to alpine passes – with stability and composure. The drive is refined, the ride comfortable, and the handling precise so you and your family arrive refreshed and ready for your next adventure.

Driver & Passenger Comfort & Versatility

Packing for the weekend? The M8 is ready. With generous cabin space, flexible seating layouts and practical features like power tailgate, panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting and wireless phone charging, it’s engineered for comfort and convenience.

Second-row seats may even include reclining or table-features for entertainment and relaxation. And for those camping trips or remote getaways, features like an external power supply (3.3 kW with ~21 kWh capacity in certain models) let you power up your gear or keep the fun going after dusk
