GAC has expanded its electrified SUV lineup in the UAE with the launch of the all new 2027 GS7 PHEV. The five seat SUV combines a powerful plug in hybrid system with all wheel drive, a spacious cabin and an extensive collection of comfort and technology features.
Gargash Motors, the official GAC distributor in the UAE, offers the new GS7 through its local sales network. Customer interest started even before the official introduction, with more than 50 units sold ahead of the launch and the first vehicles already handed over to customers.
The GS7 uses GAC third generation plug in hybrid technology with an electrified all wheel drive system producing up to 501 hp.
Performance is impressive for a large five seat SUV, with the GS7 accelerating from zero to 100 kmh in 5.8 seconds.
A 36.3 kWh Magazine Battery supports the electrified powertrain, while the hybrid engine achieves a claimed thermal efficiency of 42.5 percent.
The SUV also provides 200 mm of ground clearance, giving drivers additional flexibility when leaving paved roads or dealing with more challenging surfaces.
GAC claims a combined driving range of up to 1,020 km under the CLTC testing cycle when the vehicle starts with a full fuel tank and fully charged battery.
That combination gives drivers the option of using electric power for shorter journeys while retaining the convenience of a petrol engine for longer trips.
Actual range will naturally depend on factors including temperature, driving style, traffic and road conditions.
The GS7 also features Matrix FSD adaptive damping, which works to reduce the impact of uneven surfaces and improve passenger comfort.
The GS7 measures approximately 4,900 mm long and 1,950 mm wide, with a 2,880 mm wheelbase. Rather than adding a third row, GAC has focused on creating a spacious five seat cabin.
Second row legroom reaches up to 1,058 mm, while rear seats can recline by as much as 137 degrees.
Available comfort equipment includes heating, ventilation and eight point Shiatsu massage functions. Nappa leather and soft touch materials add a more premium atmosphere throughout the cabin.
Practicality has also received attention, with 34 storage areas distributed around the interior.
A 15.6 inch infotainment display dominates the dashboard and runs the ADiGO 6.0 system using an 8155 chipset.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto provide smartphone connectivity, while a 27 inch HD head up display projects important driving information into the drivers field of vision.
Four zone voice recognition allows passengers in different parts of the cabin to control supported functions. Entertainment options include Spotify and Deezer integration alongside a 22 speaker surround sound system with motorized speakers that rise from the dashboard.
The GS7 adopts a large and upright design with strong horizontal elements that emphasize its width.
A 2,618 mm intelligent lighting strip stretches across the front and works alongside AI interactive LED headlamps containing 2,248 pixels.
The rear features vertically arranged lighting combined with another full width lighting treatment. Other exterior details include 20 inch alloy wheels, flush door handles and a panoramic glass roof.
Six exterior colors are available, giving buyers several ways to personalize the SUV.
The UAE specification GS7 comes with 10 airbags and Level 2 driver assistance technology.
A 540 degree camera system provides additional visibility around the vehicle, while FAPA automated parking can assist with supported parking maneuvers.
The intelligent all wheel drive system can also adjust power distribution according to available traction, helping the GS7 respond to changing road conditions.
The 2027 GAC GS7 PHEV starts from AED 159,900 in the UAE and is available through Gargash Motors.
The model enters the market with a strong combination of performance, range and passenger technology. Its 501 hp output and 5.8 second acceleration provide the performance, while the claimed 1,020 km combined range makes it particularly interesting for drivers who regularly cover longer distances.
With deliveries already underway and more than 50 vehicles sold before its official launch, the GS7 is becoming an important part of GAC growing electrified lineup in the UAE.
