MANILA, Philippines | GAC Motor expands its lineup with the official launch of the GAC GS4 MAX HEV, a next-generation hybrid SUV designed for upwardly mobile families. True to its name, the GS4 MAX combines spaciousness, comfort, safety, and efficiency to support the diverse needs of modern households.

“With the introduction of the GS4 MAX HEV, we are thrilled to offer modern Filipino families a high-value hybrid SUV that balances practical comfort, reliability, and exceptional efficiency,” said Calvin Cheng, General Manager of GAC Philippines. “As we expand our SUV portfolio alongside the EMKOO, GS3 EMZOOM, and GS8, the GS4 MAX HEV reinforces our commitment to providing uncompromised mobility solutions designed to elevate everyday life for growing households across the country.”

Benchmark Hybrid Efficiency and Performance

At the heart of the GS4 MAX HEV, GAC equips the SUV with a 2.0L Atkinson-cycle hybrid engine, a 2-speed DHT, and a 2.1 kWh NCM battery. Together, these components power a multi-mode system that seamlessly switches between Pure Electric, Hybrid, Direct Engine Drive, and Energy Recuperation modes. Moreover, the system combines modern aesthetics with GAC’s advanced hybrid technology.

Powered by an Atkinson-cycle HEV engine, the system delivers a combined power output of 232 HP (173 kW) and a maximum motor torque of 300 N·m. Moreover, its design optimizes output while minimizing fuel consumption, achieving a combined driving range of up to 1,250 kilometers per tank. As a result, drivers can enjoy EV-like responsiveness and long-range peace of mind for daily city commutes and weekend getaways.

Family-Ready Space and Comfort

GAC designed the cabin for families seeking SUV versatility, maximizing space and passenger comfort throughout every journey.

The GS4 MAX HEV maximizes cabin space with a 2,750 mm wheelbase and 1,901 mm-wide body, offering generous legroom and shoulder room. Meanwhile, GAC pairs the cabin with a modern Minimalist Black design for low-maintenance elegance. An expansive panoramic glass roof with an electric sunshade also fills the interior with natural light.

For added comfort, GAC equips the GS4 MAX HEV with zero-pressure seats featuring precision piping and perforation for long-distance support. Furthermore, the cabin includes quiet insulation, rear air vents, and smart storage compartments for family convenience. Families can also fold the second-row seats flat, creating ample cargo space for strollers, sports gear, and luggage.

Advanced Safety, Smart Tech, and Design Value

The GS4 MAX HEV combines advanced safety features and intelligent connectivity to deliver greater confidence on every journey. To protect occupants, GAC builds the SUV around a robust safety-cage body structure using high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel in critical load-bearing areas. Moreover, the Airbag Protection System enhances protection with dual front, front-side, and second-row side airbags, along with seamless one-piece woven side-curtain airbags.

Meanwhile, the GS4 MAX HEV enhances driving confidence with a full Level 2 Driver Assistance Suite, which includes Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB-VRU), Traffic Jam Assist (TJA), Lane Keep Assist (LKA), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), and Integrated Cruise Assist (ICA). In addition, it features a Surround View Camera System to provide drivers with greater visibility around the vehicle.

GAC equips the GS4 MAX HEV with a 10.1-inch touchscreen supporting Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a 7-inch LCD cluster. Additionally, it features an aircraft-inspired gear selector and 50W wireless smartphone charging with built-in cooling fan technology for added convenience.
