The Empow is GAC's sedan in the UAE and it is pitched at drivers rather than commuters — six airbags, a 480-litre boot, low-slung proportions and, at the top of the range, a 2.0-litre turbo. Very few cars in this price bracket bother with that.
How much does the GAC Empow cost in the UAE?
Three 2026 grades, but the range really splits in two. The first two sit close together, opening at AED 79,900 for the 1.5T GL, while the R 2.0T at AED 112,900 is a much larger step because it brings the bigger turbocharged engine. That last rung is a different car, not a better-equipped one.
Which Empow grade is the one to buy?
If you want the performance the car is styled to promise, only the 2.0-litre version delivers it, and the price gap reflects that. If you want a well-equipped, good-looking sedan for daily use, the entry grade is the sensible buy — the 1.5-litre engine and 170 bhp are more than adequate and the money saved is substantial.
GAC Empow or Geely Emgrand?
The Empow is the more ambitious car — better equipped, more powerful and far more interesting to drive, especially in 2.0-litre form. The Geely Emgrand is much cheaper, simpler and backed by a longer local presence, which is worth real money at resale. For an SUV body from the same showroom, the Emkoo starts at similar money.
What does a GAC Empow cost to run in the UAE?
Around 13 Km/L from the 1.5 L engine in the standard cars; the 2.0-litre will not match that if you use it. Six years or 150,000 km of warranty covers the early risk, so read what is excluded and whether it transfers on sale, and confirm the authorised workshops before you rely on it.
What will an Empow be worth later?
More than most of its rivals: about 56% of the price after five years, against roughly 52% for Chinese brands here, and 70% at three years. Cheap performance saloons hold their audience. That audience also drives them hard, which is the caution. At a median of around 35,000 km on the ones CarSwitch inspects, brake and tyre wear and a properly stamped service book tell you how a specific car was used.
Decide whether you want the larger engine, then check the price against the used Empows listed now.
