Chinese newcomer GAC is entering the Australian people mover segment with a plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV).

That will make the GAC M8 the only plug-in hybrid people mover on the Australian market.

While you can buy petrol, diesel, hybrid and even electric people movers locally, thus far no auto brand has launched a PHEV.

Orders are now open for the GAC M8, which is priced from $76,590 before on-road costs. That makes the entry-level M8 PHEV as expensive as a top-spec Kia Carnival Hybrid ($76,630 before on-roads), while significantly undercutting other electric people movers like the Volkswagen ID. Buzz LWB (from $91,290 before on-roads).
