GAC GS8 4WD soon available in PH, priced at Php 2.548M
We now know that GAC Motor Philippines listens to its customers. The Chinese automaker, under the distributorship of Astara Philippines, has just introduced a new 4WD variant of its flagship GS8 midsize SUV.
Previewed at the GAC Discovery Drive Fest, the GAC GS8 4WD follows up on the initial launch of the brand’s flagship model early this year. Since then, many customers have been looking for a 4WD version especially with the previous generation sold primarily as one. This move solves those queries.
“The GS8 has had tremendous success since being launched in the Philippines and continues to be one of our best-selling nameplates. It is masterfully-designed to exude confidence on the road and is perfect for customers seeking distinction and refinement in their SUV,” said Franz Decloedt, marketing director of Astara Philippines and GAC Motor Philippines.
The GAC GS8 4WD does not only get a four-wheel drive drivetrain, but also gets selectable drive modes for different kinds of terrain, a 10-speaker Alpine premium audio system, and a ventilated front central armrest storage area.
Also remaining the same is its powertrain which is a 2.0-liter Inline 4-cylinder turbocharged gasoline direct-injection (T-GDI) engine that produces 248 horsepower and 400 Nm of torque, mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission.
The GAC GS8 AWD is now open for reservations at all 16 GAC Motor dealerships around the Philippines, with a special introductory price of Php 2,548,000 which will be in effect until September 30, 2023. After that, it will be priced at Php 2,648,000. For comparison, the 2WD variant is currently priced at Php 2,398,000.
