Legado Motors Inc. — GAC Motor’s official local distributor — recently launched its all-new multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) in the country, the all-new GAC GN6.
Initially released in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, this seven-seater MPV is the newest model on the roster of its local product lineup.
Exterior
The vehicle boasts a sharp and elegant exterior, contributed by the all-new flying dynamics frontend design, which also highlights the brand’s emblem. The design is accentuated by the wing-shaped daytime running lamps that are not only functioning as the vehicle’s safety feature, but also give it a more appealing look. This new MPV comes in three colors: Pearl White, Elegant Black and Peacock Blue.
At the rear, a pair of LED taillights is complemented by an LED braking light strip, which is similar to the GN8 minivan. To give the GN6 a better stance and ride, it is equipped with 16-inch alloy wheels.
Interior
4,780mm long, 1,860mm wide and 1730mm tall, the GN6 provides a comfortable and spacious ride for seven adult passengers. Its 190-mm ultra-wide second-row corridor lets the passengers enter and exit the vehicle with ease, allowing easier access to third-row seats.
The engine was produced by Aisin Seiki, the largest producer of automatic transmission engines in the world.
For a more comfortable ride, the second row has captain seats, in which the armrests can be lifted or lowered. This also makes it more convenient to place the child booster seat. The seats can be adjusted frontwards or backwards so that the passengers may maximize the leg space of the GN6.
To complete the cozy and relaxed driving and riding experience, the GN6 also features a 360-degree Quiet Car technology that cancels the ambient noise in your environment.
It also has a 324-liter trunk space, that can be expanded to 1,100 liters by folding down the third-row seats — a space that is enough to fit in fourteen 20-inch luggage.
Apart from a spacious and comfortable cabin, the GN6 also comes with a seven-inch instrument and eight-inch LCD infotainment display that are housed in a single panel for a clean and elegant look. It is also equipped with Bluetooth connectivity and a six-speaker system, so you can listen to your favorite playlist while on the road. Plus, its center console is equipped with cockpit controls for ease of access and undistracted driving.
Engine
Powering this mover is a 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-four Euro 5-compliant engine that is capable of producing an output of 170 horsepower and 265 N-m of torque. The engine was produced by Aisin Seiki, the largest producer of automatic transmission engines in the world.
For a more comfortable ride, the second row has captain seats, in which the armrests can be lifted or lowered.
The engine is also equipped with a Bosch 200bar in-cylinder fuel injection technology, making the vehicle a powerful — yet fuel-efficient MPV. It registers a fuel consumption of 14km/L and has a tank capacity of 52 liters. Despite its large size, the GN6 will save one tons of time refueling the gas tank.
Safety features
When it comes to safety, the GN6 is equipped with front dual airbags, front side airbags, electronic stability program, anti-lock braking system with electronic brakeforce distribution, traction control system, hill-ascend and descend controls, 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.
To complete the cozy and relaxed driving and riding experience, the GN6 also features a 360-degree Quiet Car technology that cancels the ambient noise in your environment.
It also comes with a remote keyless system that performs the functions of a standard key without physical contact with the car. 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 car, while the unlock sensor activates when the driver is at least one-meter away from the vehicle.
The vehicle is built on a high-strength steel safe chassis that does a great job in emitting the vehicle vibration and does its job in protecting the occupants of the vehicle from 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 L-type Mcpherson front suspension that effectively suppresses high-frequency vibration, resulting in better handling, a more stable ride, and better driving comfort.
The vehicle is available at a suggested retail price of P1,480,000. It also comes with a five-year warranty or 150,000 kms, whichever comes first.
