GAC Motor Philippines recently partnered with Lazada Philippines to formally open its LazMall flagship store during Lazada’s 11.11 event in November 2021. To commemorate its entry into the e-commerce platform, the carmaker raffled off an all-new GAC GS8 2.0 4x2 Sport variant to Lazada users.

Now, GAC Motor Philippines announced the lucky winner as Mr. Sherwin Santos of Calamba, Laguna. Santos took home a 7-seater midsize SUV that he can use for his daily commute or his weekend trips with the family. He was excited during the turnover ceremony, and for good reason, as the GS8 is his first vehicle.

“Thank you, GAC Motor Philippines and Lazada Philippines at nanalo kami ng all-new GAC GS8 4x2 Sports. Out of the so many entries, kami po ang nabunot sa raffle, at dalawang car service vouchers ang na-avail namin sa Lazada,” he said.

Featuring a facelift for the 2022 model year, the GAC GS8 comes with a more aggressive front end, as well as a more premium interior thanks to the new Alcantara leather seats.

Santos will be cruising around town using the SUV’s 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine that is capable of generating 199 horsepower and 320 Nm of torque. Since this is the 4x2 Sports variant, power is sent exclusively to the front wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission.

“We would like to congratulate Mr. Sherwin Santos for winning the all-new GS8 4x2 Sports. We are glad that you’ve become part of the launch of GAC Motor’s opening of LazMall flagship store,” said GAC Motor Philippines President and CEO Wilbert Lim.
