GAC PH drives into the holiday season with new energy showcase at the 2026 Auto Focus Pre-Christmas Test Drive Festival

GAC Philippines is gearing up to power the holiday driving season as it presents its expanding lineup of new energy vehicles at the 2026 Auto Focus Pre-Christmas Test Drive Festival, happening from November 12 to 15, 2026, at the SM MOA Concert Grounds.

Headlining GAC’s showcase for the festival are four key models that define the brand’s dynamic growth in 2026: the Aion UT, the Aion V, the E8 HEV, and the GS4 Max HEV.

GAC’s featured roster highlights the brand’s versatile push into sustainable performance across different lifestyles. The stylish Aion UT electric hatchback brings smart, zero-emissions efficiency for daily urban commutes, while the Aion V midsize electric SUV utilizes GAC’s ultra-safe Magazine Battery 2.0 to deliver over 600km of range alongside 20-minute fast-charging capabilities. For families, the E8 HEV multi-purpose vehicle blends flexible multi-seater comfort with advanced parallel hybrid power, accompanied by the GS4 Max HEV, a sharp compact hybrid SUV engineered for high fuel economy, dynamic driving, and practical daily utility.

Visitors to the GAC booth during the festival can test-drive these models and take advantage of event-only financing packages and special seasonal pricing across the entire portfolio. Customers purchasing and taking delivery of a brand-new Aion UT or Aion V will also receive a complimentary 7kW wall charger alongside a free two-year preventive maintenance service (PMS) program. Check out the complete breakdown of discounted suggested retail prices (SRPs) and promotional offers across the GAC lineup:
