All-New GS8 4WD 7-Seater SUV

To mark this momentous achievement and continue the momentum, GAC Motor gave a preview of the all-new GS8 4WD 7-seater SUV at the GAC Discovery Drive Fest. This groundbreaking vehicle promises to uplift customer demand for GAC Motor’s flagship SUV. Initially offered in 2WD, the GS8 will now come in a 4WD option as a response to GAC Motor’s discerning customers who want a perfectly capable premium SUV for offroad trips. 

“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,” added Decloedt.

The full-size seven-seater SUV combines form and function, and has the complete package of style, quality, safety and reliability. The 4WD variant has the same features of the 2WD plus some enhancements, such as additional drive modes for various terrains, a 10-speaker Alpine Sound System, and a ventilated front central armrest compartment.
