Loyal ArabGT followers, you are today on a date with a new episode that is somewhat different, because it includes the test drive of new GAC MOTOR cars between the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
The journey started from Dubai when our website founder Mousub Shashaa, took the GS8, which represents a class of full-size SUV with 7 seats from the Chinese manufacturer GAC MOTOR, and this car has an elegant and luxurious exterior design with LED lights and a unique identity.
