The Market Monitor Minding the Nation's Business
GAC Motor Philippines recently launched its very luxurious GAC M8, a premium seven-seater MPV that is expected to face head-on a leading brand that has been in the local market for sometime now.
The M8 was meticulously crafted to offer the epitome of comfort and convenience to discerning customers who prioritize luxury, style, and practicality in their driving experience.
“This launch underscores our dedication to offering a diverse array of vehicles tailored to meet the unique needs of every market segment,” said Franz Decloedt, the brand head of GAC Motor, Astara Philippines. “With the M8, we provide our customers with an unparalleled blend of style, comfort, and cutting-edge technology, all underpinned by our unwavering commitment to quality and reliability. Its refined aesthetics, opulent interiors, and exceptional performance redefine the benchmark for sophistication and innovative design.”
Decloedt presented the number of features of the M8 and also its ambassador and actor Dingdong Dantes who were onboard one of the two variants up for sale in the market soon.
The 2.0L GL Master will be sold for P2,998,000 while the 2.0L GX Master is up for P3,948,000 and will be offered in three colors – crystal white, elegant black, temple gold. As with all GAC Motor vehicles, each M8 purchased comes with aftersales warranty for the first 5 years or 150,000 kilometers, whichever comes first.
Under the hood, the M8 boasts a robust 2.0-liter turbo gasoline engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, delivering an impressive 248 horsepower and 400 Newton-meters of torque.
Every detail of the M8’s exterior has been meticulously crafted to evoke a sense of luxury and refinement, making it a standout choice for those who appreciate the finer things in life. The exterior design embodies a harmonious fusion of elegance and strength, drawing inspiration from the majestic Oriental lion. Its bold and commanding presence on the road is accentuated by sleek lines and meticulously sculpted contours, reflecting a refined aesthetic that captures attention from every angle. The front fascia is characterized by a distinctive and imposing grille reminiscent of the regal lion’s mane, exuding an aura of confidence and authority.
