2026 GAC M8 PHEV Review – Big, Bold... Economical? |
The GAC M8 has actually been on the Malaysian market for some time now, but you'd be forgiven for not having noticed. Launched with little fanfare earlier this year, the M8 serves as the flagship in the Tan Chong-represented GAC lineup on our shores, and packs a powerful plug-in hybrid system that offers proper performance at half the fuel consumption of typical large-MPV models. But will those potential savings and the bevy of standard kit be enough to persuade buyers out of their entrenched grey-import Toyota Alphards and Vellfires, and offer a range-championing option against pure-electric competition from China?
