GAC Philippines is bringing a fresh lineup of hybrid and electric vehicles to this year’s Auto Focus Pre-Christmas Test Drive Festival, giving motorists a chance to explore new energy mobility options ahead of the holidays.
Running from November 12 to 15, 2026, at the SM MOA Concert Grounds, the four-day event will feature some of the brand’s latest models, alongside exclusive seasonal offers and opportunities for test drives.
A Lineup for Every Kind of Drive
Four models will take center stage at the GAC Philippines booth: the AION UT, AION V, E8 HEV, and GS4 MAX HEV.
The AION UT is an all-electric hatchback designed for everyday city driving, offering zero-emission mobility in a compact package. Meanwhile, the AION V electric SUV features GAC’s Magazine Battery 2.0 technology, with a claimed driving range of more than 600 kilometers and fast-charging capabilities that can replenish its battery in as little as 20 minutes.
For families looking for more space, the E8 HEV combines multi-seater comfort with parallel hybrid technology. The GS4 MAX HEV, on the other hand, offers the practicality of a compact SUV with the added benefit of hybrid efficiency.
Visitors can get behind the wheel of these featured vehicles and experience their features firsthand throughout the festival.

Beyond the test drives, GAC Philippines is offering special event discounts across its vehicle lineup.
The AION UT Elite, originally priced at ₱1,068,000, will be available for ₱998,000. The AION V Elite drops from ₱1,498,000 to ₱1,418,000, while its Premium variant gets a ₱100,000 discount, bringing its price down to ₱1,598,000.

The company also continues to strengthen its local after-sales support through a nationwide network of 33 dealerships, a dedicated parts warehouse, and two years of free roadside assistance.
The Auto Focus Pre-Christmas Test Drive Festival is open to the public, with free admission throughout the four-day event.
Those interested in exploring GAC’s lineup can visit the festival at the SM MOA Concert Grounds or book a test drive through GAC Philippines’ official website.
