GAC Group has officially taken the wheel in the local market with the establishment of GAC International Philippines, Inc., a direct subsidiary that consolidates all its sub-brands under the unified “ONE GAC” strategy. This bold move marks a transition from the previous third-party distributorship (Astara) to a direct manufacturer-led operation, signaling GAC’s long-term commitment to Filipino drivers.
Under the ONE GAC framework, the brand is integrating GAC MOTOR, AION, and HYPTEC into a single cohesive ecosystem. This means customers can expect a unified service standard, a more streamlined sales channel, and a significantly expanded product roadmap focusing heavily on Intelligent Mobility, Hybrid (HEV), and Electric Vehicles (EV).
The 2026 Product Roadmap: What’s Coming?
GAC is hitting the gas with plans to launch six to eight new products throughout 2026. While the full list is being kept under wraps, several key models are already on the radar for the Philippine market:
| Model | Segment | Expected Launch | Key Features |
| GAC Emkoo Hybrid | HEV Crossover | February 2026 | 2.0L Atkinson-cycle engine; 235 hp combined output. |

Service Continuity & Peace of Mind
GAC International Philippines has confirmed a seamless transition for existing owners. If you bought a GAC vehicle previously, your ownership experience is actually getting an upgrade:
- Warranty Honor: All existing warranties for vehicles purchased under the previous distributor remain fully valid and honored.
- Dealer Network: 30+ authorized dealerships remain fully operational (including major hubs in BGC, Alabang, Cebu, and Davao).
- Parts Availability: GAC is investing in localized warehousing and improved logistics to ensure faster turnaround times for spare parts.
- Unified Standard: Whether you own an Aion EV or a GS3 Emzoom, you will receive the same high-tier “ONE GAC” service standard across all branches.
