GAC International PH: latest models

GAC International Philippines’ latest models are the GN6, E8 hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) and the GN8 plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). 

The most affordable of these is the GN6, which uses a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch wet-type transmission. At maximum, this powertrain sends up to 174 horsepower (hp) and 270 Newton-meters (Nm) of torque to its front wheels. 

Pricing for the GAC GN6 starts at P1.198 million. 

Placed in the middle of GAC’s all-new multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) trio is the E8 HEV. Price-wise, it starts at P1.858 million. 

Under the hood of the GAC E8 HEV is a 2.0-liter Atkinson Cycle gasoline engine paired with an electric motor. The E8 HEV is also front-wheel-drive (FWD), but it instead uses a two-speed dedicated hybrid transmission (DHT).

Maximum output of the E8 HEV is pegged at 179 hp and 300 Nm of torque. 

The most expensive of the three is the GAC GN8 Executive PHEV, which starts at P3.488 million. 

For its powertrain, this flagship MPV uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine linked to a single permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) and a 25.5 kilowatt-hour (kWh) lithium iron phosphate battery.

At maximum, it can produce up to 373 hp and 630 Nm of torque. It also has an electric-only range of 120 km. 

Notably, GAC’s local arm is also poised to introduce the GS4 Max HEV this August 2026. No Philippine market specs were disclosed for now, but its Department of Energy certification indicated that it uses a 2.0-liter engine, a single motor setup, and a 2.1 kilowatt-hour ternary lithium-ion battery. 

With those components, the GS4 Max HEV can put out 232 hp and 300 Nm of torque.
