Launched in March this year, the GAC M6 Pro is already earning the approval of its first buyers. Distributed nationwide by global mobility company Astara, the M6 Pro is an MPV that integrates design, safety, comfort, and practicality into a versatile vehicle. It meets daily family-mover duties and serves as a transport solution for small to medium enterprises (SMEs). It can also be an adaptable command center for adventurers.

Jason Agbisit, an entrepreneur in the pharmaceutical industry based in Davao City, uses the M6 Pro for both leisure and business.

"It was a case of love at first sight for me,” he shares. “It’s been exciting so far and such a head-turner on the city streets. Just as much as I get to enjoy it with my family, it is proving to be a great investment for my work and business needs, too." 

Agbisit also noted that while GAC Motor was initially a new brand to him, its global presence and technological innovations impressed him. "I am just so impressed and happy that I now get to drive this daily. I would love to see the GAC Motor community grow locally and for my family and friends to experience the beauty of these cars as well."

Agri-Entrepreneur Reuel Occeña chose the GAC M6 Pro after thoroughly choosing from the options in the segment. The businessman, who is based in Davao, believes the M6 Pro provides the best package at a great price.

"I researched all options thoroughly and chose the GAC M6 Pro. It provides the best vehicle components for a great price. Even my car enthusiast friends find it stunning and are pleased to find it is so hi-tech and spacious inside," said Reuel Occeña, an agri-entrepreneur also based in Davao.

The M6 Pro comes in two variants; the GS and the GL. Priced at P1,230,000, the base model variant M6 Pro GS can easily go toe-to-toe with small people carriers like the Mitsubishi Xpander and Honda BR-V while offering more space and specs. The top-of-the-line M6 Pro GL variant adds LED headlamps, larger wheels, leather seats, and many advance driver assistance systems like autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and traffic jam assist. All these come at a P1,598,000 price tag.
