GAC Philippines has officially launched three new multipurpose vehicles in the country: the all-new GN6, E8 HEV, and GN8 PHEV Executive.

Together, the three models form the GAC MPV Family, a purpose-built lineup engineered to deliver distinct, tailor-made comfort experiences for every user and every journey. Moving beyond traditional single-category boundaries, this trio embraces the true definition of a multipurpose vehicle, offering versatile mobility solutions for executive transit, premium passenger travel, and dynamic personal lifestyles.

GAC refers to the three models as its ‘MPV MVPs,’ reflecting the company’s established expertise and leadership in the segment. The lineup is built around real user needs, backed by over 880,000 units delivered globally; engineered for comfort, grounded in more than 10 years of dedicated MPV engineering; and built on trust, demonstrated by industry-leading residual value and a strong foundation of quality, durability, and reliability.

More than a standard model rollout, GAC introduces a unified lineup that caters to diverse lifestyles and business needs, bringing together practical utility, efficient hybrid performance, and flagship luxury.

At the center of the GAC MPV Family is a single guiding principle: True comfort begins with confidence. GAC’s commitment to delivering confidence-driven comfort is built on three foundational pillars: flexible space with intelligently engineered cabin layouts that adapt seamlessly to diverse passenger and cargo requirements; thoughtful engineering with purposeful features and invisible technologies designed entirely around real-world user demands; and reliable performance with benchmark quality and powertrain efficiency that ensure complete peace of mind on every road.

“The official launch of the GAC MPV Family marks an important milestone in the continued growth of GAC Philippines,” said GAC International senior vice president Steven Wang. “With three distinct models, we are bringing Filipino customers a complete MPV lineup that can serve their changing needs, from flexible daily transit to premium travel and executive mobility. This reflects our long-term commitment to offer vehicles for every user and every journey.”

An MPV must do more than provide additional seating,” added GAC International chief technology officer Masato Katsumata. “It must be engineered around the people who use it, taking into account their comfort, safety, changing needs, and the many different journeys they take.

“With the GN6, E8 HEV, and GN8 PHEV Executive, GAC brings together more than a decade of specialized MPV excellence to offer Filipino customers a clear choice tailored to their specific comfort expectations.”

Serving as the entry point into the GAC MPV Family, the all-new GN6, priced at P1,298,000 and with an introductory price of P1,198,000, represents the flexible mobility essential. It is tailored for users seeking smart space, effortless passability, and multi-scenario versatility without sacrificing everyday drivability.

It’s powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine paired with a seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, producing 175hp and 270Nm of torque. Measuring 4,792mm long, 1,837 mm wide, and 1,750 mm tall, with a 2,810mm wheelbase, it balances urban maneuverability with generous interior space.

A 190mm center aisle allows easier movement between the first and third rows. The GN6 also offers 324 liters of luggage space with all seven seats in use. When additional cargo room is needed, the third-row seats fold flat into the floor, expanding capacity to as much as 1,100 liters—enough to accommodate up to fourteen 20-inch suitcases.

Cabin features include 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 features include six airbags, electronic stability control, a 360-degree high-definition panoramic camera, and advanced-driver assist systems such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking.

Its hybrid system pairs a 2.0-liter hybrid-dedicated engine that produces 138hp and 180Nm, with an electric motor that generates 180hp and 300Nm. Managed by a two-speed dedicated hybrid transmission, the setup delivers a combined driving range of more than 1,000 kilometers from the 60-liter fuel tank, with a WLTC fuel consumption rating of 17.9km/L.

Built on a 2,930mm wheelbase, the E8 HEV features a low 375mm step-in height to make entry and exit easier for children and elderly passengers. The interior also offers up to 18 seating configurations. Second-row occupants benefit from one-touch zero gravity seats with power leg rests, ventilation, and massage functions. The third-row ‘Magic Storage’ seats can fold flat into the floor or be configured in ‘Tea Break Mode,’ expanding cargo capacity from 345 liters to 1,917 liters.

Other features include acoustic laminated glass, dual sunroofs, power-sliding doors, wireless phone charging, a 14.6-inch touchscreen, an eight-speaker audio system, and ADiGO intelligent driving technologies such as traffic-jam assist and integrated cruise assist.

Measuring 5,247mm long and riding on a 3,070mm wheelbase, the GN8 PHEV Executive combines a 2.0-liter turbocharged Miller-cycle engine with a permanent-magnet synchronous motor. The system produces a combined 373hp and 630Nm of torque.

Inside, the GN8 PHEV Executive offers a cabin designed to function as a private luxury lounge or a mobile boardroom. Its ‘Zero Breeze’ A/C system uses more than 1,600 micro-vents to distribute gentle, draft-free airflow, while hidden six-directional seat vibration dampers help absorb road movement for a smoother and quieter ride. Second-row captain seats feature four-way power legrests, position memory, heating, ventilation, fold-out tray tables, and massage functions.

The flagship cabin also includes soundproof glass for the first and second rows, a 16-speaker audio system, a streaming-video rearview mirror, tri-zone automatic climate control, PM2.5 air filtration, a fragrance system, a starlight panoramic roof, and dual power-sliding doors.
