GAC Motor is making a name for itself by giving Filipinos luxury cars at a price point and feature set that offer value for your hard earned pesos. While other brands are bringing their longtime nameplates to the market, GAC is shaking things up with its GA8 midsize sedan.
Taking on the likes of the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Mazda 6, Subaru Legacy, and Chevrolet Malibu, the GA8 is one of the only cars to come turbocharged from the factory. Sporting a 2.0-liter turbocharged motor that produces 190 hp with 300 Nm of torque, it is more than capable of bringing this luxury sedan up to speed with reasonable pep in its step.
The GAC GA8 doesn’t have edges, rather it is pretty conservatively styled. Even with the somewhat older styling, that doesn’t stop GAC from giving it a modern LED lighting system, along with LED repeaters and cameras all around for its around view monitor.
Marvel at the beige leather interior as the unit’s well-bolstered seats hug your torso snugly. The 8-way power adjustable position with manual tilting and telescoping steering wheel help you to achieve the perfect driving position. Start the engine with the use of the push-to-start ignition system and shift the 6-speed automatic transmission into drive and be on your way.
Step into the rear seat and you will find a plethora of features that will please even the most discerning of customers. A 6-way power adjustable passenger seat, complete with rear passenger accessible controls helps passengers get even more space at the back. Window shades for the rear, an armrest, and soft leather seats allow for relaxing commutes and rides. Aircon vents at the rear help keep the cabin cool all around, especially since the GA8 features a larger than average sized rear passenger area so the added venting is a must.
The GA8 is available at a price of P2,288,000 specced out in the GL trim seen in the video and starts at only P1,988,000 for the GE trim.
