ALL-NEW M8: A MASTERPIECE OF SOPHISTICATED TRAVEL
Sophisticated Exterior Design
The All-New M8 captivates with its elegant and prestigious design, seamlessly blending enjoyment, advanced technology, and meticulous attention to detail.
Its distinctive grille, inspired by the majestic lion, features 10 chrome bars extending from the hood to the front bumper, exuding an imposing aura. The LED headlights are fully adjustable, with welcome and guide lights, and feature 388 LEDs for a striking visual effect. The subtle “MASTER” inscription on the front grille asserts its leadership in the premium MPV segment.
The “Star Diamond Shadow” design language influences the body’s surface, creating a sleek and refined appearance with a subtle sense of sophistication.
The 18-inch alloy wheels, with their high gloss, evoke the image of the moving Milky Way as the vehicle travels. Additionally, the “static logo” (on the highest-end GX variant) further emphasizes the car’s elegant style. Electric sliding doors on both sides offer convenience and are operable in multiple ways.
The rear design draws inspiration from the “Time Gate,” with inverted U-shaped taillights that connect to the headlights and complement the overall design and timeless aesthetic. The electric tailgate adds convenience and enhances the vehicle’s overall prestige.
Exceptional Interior Comfort
The All-New M8’s interior exudes sophistication and refinement. Premium materials, including soft leather upholstery, grace the cabin, providing a sense of elegance.
The driver’s seat offers 12-way power adjustments, including 8-way power, 4-way lumbar support, and memory functions, ensuring a perfect driving position. The second-row seats are equipped with cooling and heating functions, ensuring comfort in all weather conditions. Additionally, the seats feature a 10-point massage function with adjustable intensity and various modes.
Decorative ambient lighting enhances the interior’s ambiance. The dual-pane panoramic sunroof, with its starry-sky effect, adds a touch of luxury. A tri-zone automatic climate control system with an in-cabin fragrance diffuser ensures maximum comfort. The third-row seats can slide forward and backward to accommodate various cargo needs.
The infotainment system boasts a 14.6-inch multi-function screen compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Phone, along with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, offering diverse entertainment options on long journeys. The strategically placed 8-speaker system elevates the audio experience to new heights.
Unparalleled Safety on Every Journey
Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS)
In addition to active safety features such as ABS, EBD, BA, ESP, HHC, HDC, and seat belts, the All-New M8 is equipped with automatic seatbelt tensioners and force limiters.

The “Eye of the Conqueror” headlights symbolize the warrior’s gaze, with four lamps and sharp lines conveying strength and authority.
The taillight design draws inspiration from a majestic sea-crossing bridge, with surfaces resembling ruby diamond cuts. The 20-inch alloy wheels complement the vehicle’s tall and sporty stance.
Interior Design: Refined and Sophisticated
The interior design of the All-New GS8 seamlessly connects with the exterior through the “Star Diamond Shadow” design language. A 14.6-inch multi-function touchscreen infotainment system and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster contribute to a luxurious atmosphere and offer diverse entertainment options, with full compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Phone. The 8-speaker system promises to elevate the audio experience to new heights.
