This translates to a whopping 305 percent increase over last year as per the sales report by the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines, Inc. (CAMPI) and the Truck Manufacturers Association, Inc. (TMA).

For the GS3 Emzoom, it continuously sees high demand from the local market. Since launching back in June 2023, the company has sold 423 units of this stylish-looking and feature-rich crossover. It is quite peppy too, thanks to its 170-horsepower 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine.

Meanwhile, the mid-size GS8 crossover SUV saw year-to-date sales figures of 378 units. GAC says that this model is one of the most successful vehicles in its current lineup. Helping this model on its way to success is its futuristic design, its powerful 251-horsepower turbocharged gasoline engine, and its abundance of onboard amenities. GAC also added a 4x4 version of the GS8 in August 2023, further strengthening its presence in the market.

On top of the year-to-date sales increase, GAC also shared that it saw another record month in October 2023 with 268 units sold which is equivalent to a 523 percent year-over-year increase in retail sales. During this period, the Emkoo saw a total of 124 units have been taken home by new owners. The Empow sedan, in turn, saw a total of 118 units sold in the same month.
