1. Safety

The GAC J7 has safety features that make it an ideal choice in the UAE. Among the most prominent active safety systems in the car, it provides automatic emergency braking (AEB) technology that detects possible accident situations and reduces the impact of a collision, as well as a blind spot monitoring system (BSM) that increases the driver's ability to monitor invisible areas. Rear sensors and lane departure warning systems add an extra layer of safety while driving.

As for passive safety, the car body is designed using high-resistance steel to enhance the rigidity of the cabin in the event of a collision. In addition, multi-sided airbags are available, including front and side ones to protect passengers. The interior design also relies on absorbing the energy generated by accidents to keep passengers safe.

2. The cost of buying a car

The new GAC J7 is priced at around AED 60,000. If you choose to buy the car in installments with a 20% down payment equivalent to AED 12,000, and a 60-month loan with an annual interest rate of 1.9%, the monthly installment is approximately AED 955.

As for the car's value retention, the GAC J7 shows excellent performance in the secondary market, where its value retention rate after three years is estimated at about 65%. It means that the expected price of a used car after three years is about AED 39,000, which highlights the reliability of the car and its performance in the UAE market.

3. The cost of using the car

GAC J7 has a remarkable fuel efficiency of about 6.2 liters per 100 kilometers. When driving in the UAE, assuming that the average distance traveled per year is 15,000 kilometers, the total annual fuel cost depends on the price of gasoline. For example, if the price of gasoline is 2.50 dirhams per liter, then the cost of fuel is about 2,325 dirhams per year.

In addition, GAC provides economical maintenance plans with maintenance intervals of every 10,000 kilometers or six months, depending on priority. The estimated cost of regular maintenance per cycle ranges from 400 to 600 dirhams, which makes it one of the most economical cars for daily use in the UAE.
