The 2026 Gac M8 range of configurations is currently priced from $79,999.
Our most recent review of the 2026 Gac M8 resulted in a score of 7.5 out of 10 for that particular example.
Carsguide Contributing Journalist Emily Agar had this to say at the time: The GAC M8 PHEV Luxury is a people mover that carves out a very specific niche, largely thanks to its plug-in hybrid powertrain and ambitious price point. It’s undeniably well specified and genuinely luxurious inside, but it never quite escapes its chauffeur-like identity as it's a vehicle built around passenger comfort rather than driver engagement.
