2 min read
GAC Motor Philippines has a lot to celebrate as it ends 2023 on a high note with impressive sales growth, a handful of new products, and a wider market reach with more dealerships.
The Chinese automaker was relaunched early this year under the distributorship of Astara Philippines, an international automotive distribution company which also handles local operations for French automaker Peugeot, and just recently Chinese pickup truck manufacturer JMC.
In terms of sales numbers, GAC Motor Philippines is still on track to achieve its sales target of 2000 units before the year ends. The company also recorded an impressive year-over-year growth of 378%, proving not only the capability of the current distributor, but also the brand’s popularity.

Since its relaunch, GAC Motor Philippines expanded and improved its lineup with new offerings—the GS8 midsize SUV, Empow compact sedan, Emkoo compact crossover, and the GS3 Emzoom subcompact crossover. For the next year, they are expected to launch six new models, two of which are already confirmed to be the M8 luxury minivan, and M6 Pro compact MPV, both coming in the early part of the year.
