Already a massive automotive company in China – the largest automobile market in the world –  Guangzhou Automobile Group is the parent company of GAC Motor which manufactures a popular and expanding range of stylish SUVs and saloon cars. Already a partner with leading world brands building cars for the Chinese market, the company has invested in world-class automobile manufacturing facilities to produce cars under its own name. Last year it sold over a million cars. It is now also becoming significantly successful in markets around the world, including, as we can see on our roads, in the very competitive Qatar market. Here, of course, it is represented and massively helped by the established experience and reputation of Domasco, the local agent.

In the past two years GAC Motor held first position among Chinese producers in the J D Power Quality Study. GAC Motor’s philosophy is clearly seen in the GS4: build quality is very good; styling and features look world-class, on a par with similar cars built by more famous and well-established companies.

The impression of good quality materials, attention to detail and fine finishing applies to the interior as much as the exterior. The cabin looks luxurious, is roomy and comfortable, and the materials are all touch-friendly. There are also plenty of technological channels to keep you in touch with world news and your choice of music, and whichever you choose will be delivered in crisp clear notes through the excellent hi-fi system.

Driving the GS4, you can choose Eco mode for a relaxed fuel-sipping ride, or Sport mode for a more energetic experience as you feel on top of the world sitting in the commanding driving position. The turbocharger won’t let you down, keeping up easily with all kinds of traffic situations, while the 150 hp and 235 Nm of torque means overtaking is a breeze. A third choice is to choose Manual mode and change gears exactly when you please with just a flick of your thumb – so easy and so much control! Wherever you go, the cabin will be cool, the music hot and your family sprawled out in comfort on the wide, supportive seats.

Domasco make it easy to own a new GS4 and everything can be done in-house without the hassle of obtaining a bank loan. For your one-stop shopping, get down to the showroom on Salwa Road, opposite HSBC, where staff will be happy to answer all your questions on the GS4 or other cars and how to buy them on the best possible terms, with free registration and servicing, of course!
