GAC GA3

While the grand majority of all Chinese cars sold in the UAE are crossover SUVs, the market for affordable sedans is very much still present. While some of the Japanese and Korean carmakers offer some decent options at low price points, Chinese firms such as GAC Motor, too seem to be playing their cards on this front. Making its first global debut at the Shanghai Auto Show in 2013, the GAC GA3 is one such product from the Guangzhou-based auto giant.

The GAC GA3 is basically the same size as a Hyundai Accent and by the looks of things, costs roughly the same as well. While it has been over half a decade since its launch, GAC doesn’t seem to have made any noticeable changes or modifications to the GA3. And even though this region sells many compact sedans, the GA3 is nowhere near as prolific as I haven’t seen many out on the road. Its chief competitors in UAE include the Mitsubishi Lancer EX, Renault Symbol, Peugeot 301, and Suzuki Ciaz.

Exterior

Overall, the GAC GA3 is a pretty sedate and unassuming looking thing. Now, it’s surely not a sight for sore eyes, but the GA3 isn’t what one might call unattractive, as well. The front fascia looks quite interesting with its large, sweptback headlamps, a chrome-garnished triple-slatted grille with a sizeable GAC company logo in the middle, and a neat-looking hood design and front bumper; the latter even features integrated foglamp housing with functional halogen foglights.

The rather busy side profile of the GAC GA3 is festooned with a myriad of curves, bulges, and character lines. There isn’t much particularly fascinating to note here, though the five-spoke, 16-inch alloy wheels and pillar-mounted rear door handles are a nice touch. At the back, there is a pair of C-shaped, 3D-design taillights and a thick bar of chrome on the boot lid. As for its dimensions, the 2019 GAC GA3 sedan comes in at 4.570 meters in length, 1.790 meters in width, 1.490 meters in height, and has a wheelbase measuring 2.620 meters. The total capacity of the GA3’s boot is 450 liters, which makes it one of smallest in its class.

Interior

GAC GA3 Interior

According to GAC, the GA3’s interior features a “spaceship-style” cockpit, which sounds extremely interesting. It isn’t. However, it sure sounds amusing to me. Now, even though the styling of this interior isn’t great, I can look past that since there’s some effort made. What I cannot look past is the acres and acres of drab, black-gray plastic almost everywhere in this cabin. Also not fantastic is the build quality, fit-and-finish, and the cheap-looking instrument cluster.

Having stated all that, I admit that the ergonomics is a non-issue, air-con works well, and the design theme isn’t completely flat. On the features front, the GA3 gets automatic climate control, keyless-entry with push-button ignition, leather seats, parking sensors with rear camera, a multifunction steering wheel, and cruise control. Its safety tech includes dual-front airbags, ABS with EBD, traction control, and hill-start assist.

Engine and performance

The GAC GA3 comes with a 1.6-liter petrol engine that produces 120 hp and 153 Nm of torque. This is mated to an Aisin-sourced 4-speed automatic transmission that drives the front wheels. The 1,200 kg GA3 can make it to 100 km/h in around 12.5 seconds and hit a top speed of 175 km/h, while averaging 6.0 L/100 km.

Verdict

Prices for the 2019 GAC GA3 in the UAE vary between AED 49,500 for the base trim and AED 52,500 for the top variant. Meanwhile, depending on the trim level, cost of insurance ranges between AED 772 to AED 818.
