A D-dimensional gravitational model with a Gauss–Bonnet term and the cosmological term is considered. By assuming diagonal cosmological metrics, we find, for a certain fine-tuned
, a class of solutions with exponential time dependence of two scale factors, governed by two Hubble-like parameters
and
, corresponding to factor spaces of dimensions
and
, respectively, with
and
. Any of these solutions describes an exponential expansion of three-dimensional subspace with Hubble parameter H and zero variation of the effective gravitational constant G. We prove the stability of these solutions in a class of cosmological solutions with diagonal metrics.
