Russian dealers selling “gray” cars opened the acceptance of orders for a large second-generation GAC GS8 crossover late last year. Officially, only the first generation of the model is sold in our country. But it seems that she will soon make way for a successor.
As it became known to our colleagues from Chinese Automobiles, the Russian GAC office has already started the certification procedure for the second generation GS8 crossover. When it will stop is still unknown. But it is believed that the manufacturer receives a Vehicle Type Approval (OTTS) – a document required for “official” sales – in the spring or early summer.
In China, the “second” GAC GS8 is offered with a two-liter engine with 252 hp. with., eight-speed “automatic”, front or four-wheel drive. There is also a hybrid modification – with an installation that produces 237 forces. In Russia, you can buy both versions – you just need to contact dealers operating under the parallel import scheme. Prices range from 3.9 to 4.5 million rubles.
Which powertrains the GAC GS8 will go on “official” sale with will be revealed later – either we’ll hear from OTTS when it appears in an open base, or from the company’s representatives themselves if they want to reveal their cards earlier in the day .
