Did you know that the letters G, A, and C in the Chinese carmaker GAC stands for Guangzhou Automobile Group Co., Ltd.? Did you also know that GAC the brand patterned its tagline to its initials, and it means “Go And Change?”. And “Change” is what’s always constant for GAC Motor Philippines as it continues to turn pages on its book to open up new and more exciting chapters.

For one, GAC Motor Philippines (GAC Motor PH), early this year, has welcomed the leadership of its new management in the form of Astara Philippines. This was a better sign of things to come as GAC Motor PH wasted no time charging up to rise above its previous Achaemenes, starting off with the official local launch of the Empow compact sports sedan and the GS8 SUV, following the said models’ preview during last year’s Manila International Auto Show or MIAS. Fast-forward to this year’s MIAS, the brand showcased the Emkoo, its newest crossover.

And fresh hot off the calendar, GAC Motor PH has stated that its sales performance has grown to an astounding 244% vs. its 2022 chart. This is due to commendable sales of the Empow, GS4, and the Emkoo.

This great news, which was delivered before the local motoring press, was followed by the official introduction of the brand’s newest ambassador, renowned actor Dingdong Dantes. Per GAC Motor PH, Dantes is the right brand ambassador to give even more color, depth, and meaning to its “Go And Change” mantra.

Finally saving the best for last, GAC Motor PH is excited to bring in yet another new model to reinforce its armada of quality vehicles. So excited, in fact, that it has already announced the arrival of the GS3 Emzoom, ahead of its official launch on June 30! With a starting price of P998,000, this small crossover comes with a five-year warranty to sweeten the deal.

We’ll keep you posted about this exciting developing news come the car’s arrival, soon.

For the meantime, here’s a series of GAC Empow photos to keep things on high. The Empow is highly-regarded by this author as the legendary GA4’s successor in the local endurance racing scene, should GAC Motor PH decide to continue its motorsports journey under the new management. Why? That’s because the Empow is prepared for on-track battles with a 1.5L turbo power engine that utilizes GAC's in-house developed MegaWave technology. It does 0 to 100 km/hr in 6.95 seconds – believed to be the fastest acceleration for a compact sedan in its segment. Mated to a 7-speed Wet-type Dual Clutch transmission, the Empow lets out 168 hp and 270 Nm of torque.
