GAC introduces the Gn6 MPV
LEGADO Motors, Inc., the official distributor of GAC Motor in the Philippines, recently launched its entry to the multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) segment in the country—the GAC GN6.
With the growing number of contenders in the segment, it should be interesting to see how the consumer would benefit from the competition. Initially released in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, this seven-seater MPV is also the newest model in its growing model lineup in the country.
Exterior-wise, the all-new GN6 boasts a sharp and elegant exterior emphasized by the fresh flying dynamics frontend design with the GAC Motor emblem highlighted at the center. The design is accentuated by the wing-shaped daytime running lamps functioning as the vehicle’s safety feature and provide a more appealing look. At the back, there’s a pair of LED taillights complemented by an LED braking light strip, which is similar to the GN8 minivan. The fitted 16-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels provide that good-looking stance.
Inside, meantime, is all about comfort and space. With dimensions of 4,780mm long, 1,860mm wide, and 1730mm tall, the GN6 provides a roomy and blissful ride for seven adult passengers. Its 190mm ultrawide second-row corridor makes passengers ingress and egress with ease. It also allows more accessible access to the third-row section. For that comfortable ride, the secondrow has captain seats complete with adjustable armrests. It also makes it more convenient to install a child booster seat. Further, seats are adjustable frontwards or backward so that the passengers can relish generous legroom.
The GN6 offers a comfortable and relaxing experience for passengers thanks to a 360-degree Quiet Car technology that remarkably cancels ambient noise from the outside. When it comes to cargo space, the GN6 offers a grand 324-liter trunk bay. More so, it expands up to 1,100 liters by simply folding down the third-row seats—an area that is enough to fit in fourteen 20-inch pieces of luggage.
Apart from a spacious and comfortable cabin, the GN6 also comes with a seven-inch instrument and eight-inch LCD infotainment display housed in a single panel providing a clean and elegant look. It is also equipped with Bluetooth connectivity and a six-speaker system for that crisp audio experience while listening to your favorite playlist. Plus, its center console is fitted with cockpit controls for ease of access and undistracted driving.
Motivation comes from a Euro 5-compliant 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-four engine capable of producing 170 horsepower, and 265 N-m of maximum torque is paired to a six-speed automatic gearbox. The motor was manufactured by Aisin Seiki, the largest producer of automatic transmission engines in the world. The engine is also equipped with a Bosch 200bar incylinder fuel injection technology, making the GN6 a powerful yet fuel-efficient MPV. GAC Motors Philippines claims fuel consumption of 14km/l. With its 52-liter tank capacity, refueling would be less frequent.
When it comes to safety, the GN6 offers a long list of advanced features. Came standard is the dual front airbags, front side airbags, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), anti-lock braking system (ABS) with electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), traction control system (TCS), hill-ascend, and descend controls. Moreover, there’s a rearview camera, parking sensors, electronic parking brake, three-point seatbelts with alarm, ISOFIX child seat anchors, brake hold assist, and engine immobilizer with anti-theft alarm.
It also comes with an intelligent keyless system. It performs the functions of a standard key but without physical contact with the car. Also, it includes a remote keyless ignition system, remote window, and sunroof controller. Its sensor lock feature activates when the driver or key holder is at least three meters away from the vehicle. While the unlock sensor activates when the driver is at least a meter away from the car.
The GN6 is built on a highstrength steel safe chassis. It keeps the vehicle from emitting vibrations while providing maximum protection for occupants in an intense collision impact. For better stability at high speeds, the GN6 is equipped with Bosch’s latest ESP 9.3 that corrects oversteering at sudden cornering and sudden lane change. It also has a 14-in-1 active safety system that provides uphill and downhill assistance. It is equipped with an Ltype Macpherson front suspension that effectively suppresses highfrequency vibration, resulting in better handling, a more stable ride, and better driving comfort.
The all-new GAC GN6 is priced at P1.480 million and comes in Pearl White, Elegant Black, and Peacock Blue color options. It also comes with a five-year warranty or 150,000 km, whichever comes first.
