GAC GE3 generations

1 generation (2017–present)

The first and only generation of the GAC GE3 has been in production since 2017 and is offered exclusively as a five-door SUV. Power outputs span from 163 to 177 hp, and every version pairs an automatic transmission with front-wheel drive. The lineup counts two modifications in total, which keeps the range easy to understand: the choice comes down to the power output rather than a matrix of engines, gearboxes and drivetrains. The notable version is the GAC GE3 AT (177 hp), an electric variant that accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.6 seconds — a strong figure for a front-wheel-drive SUV of this class. The 163 hp version sits at the base of the range and shares the same body style, transmission type and drivetrain layout.

Which GAC GE3 to buy

On the used market, the single-generation lineup works in the buyer's favor: every GAC GE3 built since 2017 belongs to the same generation, so there are no cross-generation differences to untangle when comparing listings. With only two modifications, checking which version a specific car is comes down to confirming its power output — 163 or 177 hp.

GAC GE3 at a glance

The GAC GE3 formula is consistent across the entire range: a five-door SUV body, electric power, an automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. The spread between the base 163 hp version and the top 177 hp version is 14 hp, so both occupy the same segment and differ mainly in outright performance. For buyers who prioritize acceleration, the GAC GE3 AT (177 hp) with its 8.6-second sprint to 100 km/h is the version the data points to; for everyone else, the 163 hp version offers the same body and drivetrain layout in a slightly milder form.
