Some specifications for the GAC M8 are still being completed: braked towing, fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, battery capacity and energy consumption. We only publish a figure once we have it from the manufacturer, so these stay blank rather than being estimated. They'll appear as they're confirmed.

Overview
The 2026 GAC M8 PHEV Premium is a 7-seat, front-wheel drive people mover with a plug-in hybrid powertrain and an automatic. It's priced from $76,590 RRP, which is the recommended retail price before on-road costs. It has a claimed electric-only range of 106km from a 25.5kWh battery, and there's 800 litres of boot space with the seats up. We don't have a fuel consumption figure on record yet, so it's hard to say what it'll cost to run once the battery is used up. It suits families who need seven seats and can plug in at home to do plenty of their daily driving on electric power.

Battery and Charging
AC is home or destination charging. DC is public fast charging. Typical 10 to 80% is the useful fast-charge window. Battery preheating and a heat pump both protect fast-charging speed and range in the cold. 🏆 marks the strongest car per row.
Towing and load
The 4WD and load hardware this variant lists, the rig calculator, the load plans and the cost to towCost to tow
The real fuel/energy cost once you hitch up. Pick a trailer and trip.
⚠ PHEV: the rated tow capacity is legal, but once the battery is depleted it tows on the petrol engine alone — expect noticeably lower speed on highway climbs and much higher fuel use (real-world tests hit ~30 L/100km near capacity on a flat battery). Keep some charge in reserve for hills.
Estimate only: consumption rises as range falls; real use varies with terrain, wind and load.

ISOFIX lower anchors clip a compatible child seat straight to the car's frame.
Top tether straps stop a forward-facing seat pitching in a crash. Australian law requires a tether on every forward-facing child seat.
Anchor positions indicative (from the published count), pending per-seat verification.

If you're hauling a big family and want to do a fair chunk of the daily running on electricity, the 2026 GAC M8 PHEV Luxury is aimed squarely at you. It's a 7-seat plug-in hybrid people mover with front-wheel drive and an automatic, priced at $83,590 RRP, which is the recommended retail price before on-road costs. The claimed electric-only range is 106km from a 25.5kWh battery, and there's 800 litres of boot space with the seats up. We don't have a fuel consumption figure for it yet, so the cost of longer trips on petrol is still an unknown.
