I've been driving the GAC GM8 for two years now. The size of this car is truly impressive, measuring 5212mm in length, 1893mm in width, and 1823mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3070mm. When taking my family of six out, the two kids in the second row can even lie down to sleep, and the trunk can easily fit three suitcases plus a stroller without feeling cramped. However, beginners should note that the body is over half a meter longer than a regular SUV, so parking in older shopping malls requires slower reversing. Last week, I almost scraped the wall in a narrow alley while passing another car, but after installing a panoramic camera, I feel much more at ease. This size might feel slightly cumbersome for daily commuting, but it's incredibly practical for family trips, especially with the over 3-meter wheelbase—going over speed bumps is much more stable than in smaller cars.
Last time I accompanied my buddy to test drive the GM8 at an auto show. Its dimensions are 5212×1893×1823mm, making it a full size larger than its peers. The key highlight is its 3070mm wheelbase – with my 1.8m height, there's still a fist's distance between my knees and the front seat when sitting in the third row. But a heads-up: avoid mechanical parking spaces in malls as its 1.8m+ height might get stuck at height barriers. It's stable on highways, though requires an extra half turn when making U-turns in the city. Once saw an owner forcefully squeeze through a 2m-wide alley and scraped paint off the right mirror. Among family MPVs, its space utilization is impressive – especially when the third row folds flat to create cargo space. Last time, he loaded two folding bicycles in there.
