For many Filipinos, time spent in traffic is simply part of the daily routine. But with the right vehicle, even a long commute can become a little more comfortable.
The GAC GN8 PHEV Executive, the flagship of GAC’s MPV lineup, is designed around that idea. It combines spacious interiors, premium features, smart technology, and plug-in hybrid performance in a seven-seater built for families and professionals.
A Cabin Designed for Comfort
The second row is where the GN8 PHEV Executive truly stands out. Its captain’s seats come with four-way power leg rests, memory settings, heating, ventilation, and multi-mode massage functions.
There are also One Touch Spa Mode and Zero Gravity settings, turning the back row into a comfortable space to relax during long trips.
The cabin also gets tri-zone climate control and a Zero Breeze air-conditioning system with more than 1,600 micro-vents. Instead of blowing cold air directly at passengers, it distributes air more gently throughout the cabin.
Meanwhile, acoustic glass and seat vibration dampers help reduce outside noise and road impacts.
A Space for Work and Play
The GN8 is also designed to keep passengers entertained—or productive—while on the road.
Up front, the vehicle has a full LCD instrument cluster and a 14.6-inch central touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Second-row passengers get a smart overhead screen and folding tray tables that can hold laptops or snacks.
For music and entertainment, a 16-speaker Yamaha sound system adds to the experience.
Hybrid Power for Longer Journeys
Comfort is matched by an electrified powertrain. The GN8 PHEV Executive combines a 2.0-liter turbocharged Miller-cycle engine with a permanent-magnet synchronous motor and a two-speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission.
Together, they produce 373 horsepower and 630 Nm of torque. The vehicle can travel up to 120 kilometers on electric power and offers a combined range of more than 1,000 kilometers.
For quick charging, DC fast charging can bring the battery from 30 to 80 percent in around 45 minutes.
Ready for Philippine Conditions
The GN8 PHEV Executive is also designed with the local climate in mind. Its thermal management system helps maintain battery performance during hot weather, while its sealed electrical components provide added protection against heavy rain and splashes.
Safety features include Electronic Stability Program, Traction Control, Hill Descent Control, and Anti-lock Braking with Hydraulic Brake Assist.
Premium Mobility at a Special Price
Reservations and test-drive bookings are now open at GAC dealerships nationwide. The GN8 PHEV Executive has a listed SRP of ₱3.488 million, with an introductory price of ₱3.338 million for qualified reservations made until December 31, 2026.
With its combination of first-class seating, everyday technology, and plug-in hybrid capability, the GN8 PHEV Executive offers a different way to experience time on the road.
For families and professionals looking for a more comfortable way to move, sometimes the journey itself can be part of the experience.
