GAC Philippines has expanded its presence in the local market with the official launch of three new multi-purpose vehicles-the GN6, E8 HEV, and GN8 PHEV Executive. Collectively branded as the GAC MPV Family, these models are designed to meet varied demands: from everyday family mobility to premium comfort and executive travel. Each one reflects a philosophy that true comfort begins with confidence; a principle grounded in flexible space, thoughtful engineering, and reliable performance.
The GN6: Everyday practicality with smart space
THIS model is the entry point into the lineup, but it is far from basic. Compact enough for city maneuvering yet spacious enough for family use, it strikes a balance between drivability and utility. Under the hood, a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine paired with a seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission produces 174 hp and 270 N-m of torque. Its dimensions-4,792 mm long, 1,837 mm wide, and 1,750 mm tall-sit on a 2,810 mm wheelbase, giving it a footprint that blends urban agility with generous cabin space. Inside, the GN6 emphasizes flexibility. A 190 mm center aisle allows passengers to move easily between rows, while luggage capacity ranges from 324 liters with all seats up to 1,100 liters when the third row is folded flat. That’s enough to fit fourteen 20-inch suitcases, a figure that speaks directly to real-world practicality. The cabin integrates a 10.25-inch LCD instrument cluster, a 14.6-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and dual-zone automatic climate control with rear controls. Safety is comprehensive: six airbags, electronic stability control, a 360-degree panoramic camera, and advanced driver assistance systems including adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking.
Beyond the basics, the GN6 also offers thoughtful touches such as rear air vents for all passengers, fold-flat third-row seats that disappear into the floor for a completely flat cargo area, and a suspension tuned for comfort without sacrificing stability. At P1.298 million, with an introductory discount bringing it to P1.198 million, the GN6 is positioned as a practical yet well-equipped choice for families who want flexibility without excess.
The E8 HEV: Hybrid efficiency with premium comfort
THIS HEV model elevates the MPV experience by combining hybrid technology with premium amenities. Its system pairs a 2.0-liter hybrid-dedicated engine (138 hp, 180 N-m) with an electric motor (180 hp, 300 N-m), managed by a two-speed dedicated hybrid transmission. Together, they deliver a combined driving range exceeding 1,000 kilometers from a 60-liter tank, with fuel consumption rated at 5.58 liters per 100 km under WLTC standards. For Filipino families, that means fewer fuel stops and lower running costs.
Comfort is where the E8 HEV distinguishes itself. Built on a 2,930 mm wheelbase, it offers a low 375 mm step-in height for easier access, particularly for children and elderly passengers. The cabin allows up to 18 seating configurations, with second-row Zero Gravity seats offering leg rests, ventilation, and massage functions. The third-row Magic Storage seats fold flat or transform into Tea Break Mode, expanding cargo capacity to 1,917 liters. Acoustic laminated glass, dual sunroofs, wireless charging, and ADiGO intelligent driving technologies round out the premium experience.
Additional features include power-sliding doors for easy ingress, a multi-zone climate system with rear controls, and laminated acoustic glass that reduces outside noise for a quieter cabin. The E8 HEV also integrates intelligent driver assistance, such as Traffic Jam Assist and Integrated Cruise Assist, to enhance convenience on long drives. Priced at P1.858 million for the GL and P1.998 million for the GX, with launch discounts lowering them to P1.778 million and P1.918 million respectively, the E8 HEV appeals to those who want efficiency without compromising comfort.
The GN8 PHEV Executive: Flagship luxury and technology
AT the top sits the flagship model that redefines what a luxury MPV can be. Measuring 5,247 mm long with a 3,070 mm wheelbase, it combines a 2.0-liter turbocharged Miller-cycle engine with a permanent-magnet synchronous motor, producing a combined 368 hp and 630 N-m of torque. Its 25.5 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery delivers up to 120 km of electric range (NEDC) and a total combined range of 1,038 km. DC fast charging replenishes the battery from 30 to 80 percent in about 45 minutes, a practical figure for executive mobility.
The cabin is where the GN8 PHEV Executive asserts its flagship status. Designed as a private lounge or mobile boardroom, it features Zero Breeze air conditioning with over 1,600 micro-vents, hidden seat vibration dampers, and second-row captain’s chairs with massage, heating, ventilation, and fold-out tray tables. Soundproof glass, a 16-speaker audio system, a streaming-video rearview mirror, tri-zone climate control, PM2.5 filtration, a fragrance system, a starlight panoramic roof, and dual power-sliding doors complete the package.
Further refinements include a starlight panoramic roof that enhances cabin ambiance, a fragrance system integrated into the climate control, and hidden dampers beneath the seats that absorb road vibrations for a smoother ride. The GN8 PHEV Executive also incorporates advanced driver assistance systems, ensuring safety matches its luxury. At P3.488 million, with an introductory price of P3.338 million, the GN8 PHEV Executive is positioned for those who demand uncompromised luxury and technology in their mobility.
Ownership Confidence
GAC emphasizes ownership confidence through warranties extending up to five years or 150,000 km for internal combustion models, and eight years or 160,000 km for EVs, with coverage for the three-electric system reaching 200,000 km. Two years of free roadside assistance further strengthen the ownership experience. With a growing network of 30 dealerships nationwide and a dedicated parts warehouse, GAC aims to provide a ‘zero-anxiety’ journey for Filipino customers.
