“The official launch of the GAC MPV Family marks an important milestone in the continued growth of GAC Philippines,” said Calvin Cheng, General Manager of GAC Philippines. “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.”

GAC says the three models draw on more than 10 years of MPV development and over 880,000 units delivered globally. Masato Katsumata, Chief Technology Officer of GAC International, said the vehicles were built with everyday users in mind.

“An MPV must do more than provide additional seating. 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,” Katsumata said. “With the All-New 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.”

Positioned as the entry model, the GN6 is aimed at young and growing families. It runs a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine paired with a seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, producing 176.7 PS and 270 Nm of torque. The vehicle rides on a 2,810 mm wheelbase, with overall dimensions of 4,792 mm in length, 1,837 mm in width, and 1,750 mm in height.

A 190 mm center aisle allows movement between the first and third rows. Luggage space is rated at 324 liters with all seven seats in use, expanding to 1,100 liters — GAC says enough for up to fourteen 20-inch suitcases — when the third-row seats are folded flat.

Interior 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 equipment includes six airbags, electronic stability control, a 360-degree panoramic camera, and driver assistance systems such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, and Automatic Emergency Braking.

Positioned above the GN6, the E8 HEV pairs a hybrid powertrain with a more upscale cabin. It combines a 2.0-liter hybrid-dedicated engine producing 140 PS and 180 Nm with an electric motor rated at 182 PS and 300 Nm, managed through a two-speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission. GAC rates the combined driving range at more than 1,000 kilometers from a 60-liter fuel tank, with WLTC fuel consumption of 5.58 liters per 100 kilometers.

Built on a 2,930 mm wheelbase, the E8 HEV has a 375 mm step-in height intended to ease entry and exit for children and elderly passengers.

The cabin offers up to 18 seating configurations. Second-row seats include One-Touch Zero Gravity function with power leg rests, ventilation, and massage. Third-row Magic Storage seats fold flat or convert to a Tea Break Mode, expanding cargo space from 345 liters to as much as 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 driving technologies such as Traffic Jam Assist and Integrated Cruise Assist.

It measures 5,247 mm in length on a 3,070 mm wheelbase and combines a 2.0-liter turbocharged Miller-cycle engine with a permanent-magnet synchronous motor, producing a combined 373 HP and 630 Nm of torque.

Its 25.5 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery provides an electric-only range of up to 120 kilometers under NEDC testing, with total combined range rated at up to 1,038 kilometers. DC fast charging can bring the battery from 30% to 80% in about 45 minutes.
