Who’s the boss?
With the GM8 luxury MPV, GAC took a big risk in trying to match the mighty Toyota Alphard—considered by many the ultimate luxury MPV. But while the GM8 boasted great luxury, its styling was a bit too generic for a target market where being seen is part of the appeal.
18-inch chrome-alloy wheels capped with Rolls Royce style floating hubcaps add a touch of luxury you don’t expect of a premium MPV.The interior reinforces that impression with yards of dark leather and suede, even on the headliner, a delight to both eyes and fingertips. Compared to the corporate gray Alphard, the M8 feels more like a posh speakeasy, complete with touches of chrome, crystal—plastic crystal, but still—quilted leatherette floor mats, and LED mood lighting.
These performance figures are not much different from the old V6 Alphard, but nowhere near as good as the new hybrid. Still, given the price and power differential, that’s a fair trade-off.To deal with that power, the M8 features independent suspension, powerful disc brakes, sticky 225/55R18 Michelin Primacy 4 tires and a fully updated chassis. Uneven roads and fast sweepers reveal a car that’s taut and solid, despite the big door openings and dual glass roofs.
Comprehensive proximity sensors and 360-degree parking cameras feed a display with helpful distance overlays showing clearance to nearby obstacles, and the side mirrors can be set to automatically dip when backing up. But for those intimidated by parking something this long, fully automated parking is also available.Aside from the parking assists—you also get lane-keeping assist and adaptive cruise control.
