GS4
Value-oriented Chinese compact SUV with turbocharged petrol engine and comprehensive safety kit · 5 seats
REPRESENTATIVE PHOTOI'm Zion / PexelsOur verdict
6.8 / 10The GAC GS4 is a compact Chinese SUV that delivers a reasonable equipment list — including 360-degree cameras, keyless entry, a panoramic sunroof and blind spot detection — at AED 99,000. The 165 hp turbocharged 1.5-litre petrol engine is adequate for UAE driving conditions, though performance and refinement fall short of Korean and Japanese rivals at a similar price. With only one trim available, the buying decision is simple, and Gargash Motors' UAE-wide service network adds reassurance, though the 5-year/150,000 km warranty lags behind the longer coverage offered by many competitors in the Chinese-brand segment.
Who it's for — Budget-conscious UAE buyers seeking a feature-packed compact SUV who prioritise value and Chinese-brand practicality over brand prestige; first-time SUV buyers upgrading from a sedan who want a contemporary exterior with urban-friendly dimensions.
