Astara Philippines and Autohub Group open new GAC Motor Sumulong Highway dealership.

Autohub, known for its 25 years of automotive excellence, is set to bring GAC Motor's vehicles to the forefront of the local market, starting with the new dealership located along Sumulong Highway in Barangay San Isidro, Cainta, Rizal. This strategic location is nested beside big businesses and facilities such as hospitals, and the nearby city center of neighboring Marikina City. The location ensures that the dealership is well-positioned to serve the eastern part of Metro Manila.

Highlighting the event was the showcase of the GAC M6 Pro, a seven-seater MPV that exemplifies safety, comfort, and practicality. The M6 Pro is versatile, catering to daily driving needs, small to medium enterprises, and adventurers alike. Alongside the M6 Pro, the dealership offers the full lineup of GAC Motor vehicles, including the luxurious M8 MPV, the sleek Empow sedan, the stylish Emkoo compact SUV, and the robust but premium 7-seater GS8.

“We are immensely proud of today's inauguration as it marks the beginning of our exciting partnership with the Autohub Group,” said Luis Torres, CEO and country manager of Astara Philippines. “This new dealership is more than just a location; it is a gateway for us to better serve our customers and to provide them with the exceptional service and high-quality vehicles that GAC Motor is known for.”

The GAC Motor Sumulong Highway dealership is designed to meet GAC’s international showroom standards, providing a world-class, premium experience for all customers. It operates as a fully equipped 3S facility (sales, spare parts, and service), ensuring a worry-free ownership experience, alongside GAC’s after-sales warranty for the first five years or 150,000 kilometers, whichever comes first, ensuring peace of mind for all customers.
