Astara-backed GAC Motor Philippines has continued its impressive growth, delivering an outstanding year-to-date sales performance in 2024. From January to September, the brand recorded a remarkable 106-percent increase in sales compared to the same period last year, with a total of 2,511 units sold. This reflects the carmaker’s strong momentum in the market.
As reported by the Truck Manufacturers’ Association (TMA) and the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines, Inc. (CAMPI), GAC has secured its place as the second bestselling Chinese auto brand in passenger vehicles.
At the forefront of this success are its leading models: the GS3 Emzoom, M6 Pro, and M8, which continue to attract attention across various market segments. Each of these vehicles showcases cutting-edge technology, advanced features, and delivers a superior driving experience.
The brand’s impressive sales performance can be attributed not only to the popularity of its top models but also to its strategic efforts in expanding its dealer network. GAC Motor now has 29 dealerships nationwide, with plans to grow to 38 facilities (including appointments) by the end of the year, further solidifying its presence across key cities.
Adding to the brand’s growing appeal is the introduction of the Emkoo Hybrid, its first hybrid model in the Philippines. This new addition demonstrates the company’s commitment to providing environmentally conscious mobility options while maintaining the high-performance standards GAC is known for.
The carmaker’s expanding product portfolio caters to a wide range of customer preferences, such as the sleek and sporty Empow sedan, the popular and stylish Emzoom crossover, the futuristic Emkoo compact SUV, the impressive GS8, and the versatile MPVs introduced this year, the family-friendly M6 Pro and the luxurious M8. Every model is equipped with advanced safety features and the latest in automotive technology, ensuring GAC MOTOR continues to appeal to consumers seeking innovation, style, and reliability.
The company also places a strong emphasis on delivering an exceptional customer experience, underscored by its comprehensive aftersales services. Each vehicle comes with a five-year or 150,000-kilometer warranty, alongside 24/7 emergency roadside assistance for the first year upon purchase, offering customers peace of mind.
“It has been an exhilarating year for us at GAC Motor, thus far, and our incredible sales growth is a testament to the trust and confidence Filipino customers have in our brand,” said Franz Decloedt, its brand head.
“We are passionately driven to uplift the lives of Filipinos by delivering exceptional mobility innovations that meet the diverse needs of today’s consumers.”
