GAC Motor ended June 2024 with 351 retail units sold, totaling 1,702 units for the first half of the year, up from 625 units sold during the same period last year. The GS3 Emzoom, accounting for 64% of total sales, has been a huge part of this growth. Meanwhile, the M6 Pro, known for its premium features, spacious interior, and fuel efficiency, has also gained popularity as a family-friendly vehicle.

Considering this growth, GAC Motor is now ranked 12th in the local market share and has become the third highest-volume Chinese brand in the Philippines, as reported by the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines, Incorporated (CAMPI). GAC is making it easier for people to get these cars by opening new dealerships all over the country. The new dealerships, signed during the Midyear Dealer Conference, include GAC Angeles, GAC BGC, GAC Calamba, GAC Taytay, and several others.

With six new models coming soon, GAC is growing its car lineup to attract even more buyers. Before these arrive, take a look at their current lineup on AutoDeal and grab a quote for your favorite GAC car.
