Astara-led GAC Motor Philippines recently launched the all-new GAC M6 Pro, a dynamic seven-seater MPV well-suited for the Filipino family.
“GAC Motor Philippines is in pursuit of providing a wide range of vehicles that cater to the dynamic lifestyles of Filipino families and communities,” stated Franz Decloedt, brand head of GAC Motor, Astara Philippines. He added, “This is a great new family MPV that embodies the meticulous craftsmanship, engineering excellence, cutting-edge technology, and high-quality promise that GAC Motor is known for.”
The GAC M6 Pro is a masterclass in MPV design, integrating safety, comfort and practicality in a versatile vehicle. It can be a daily-driving family-mover through urban jungles, transport solutions provider for growing small to medium enterprises (SMEs), or an adaptable command center for adventurers on open roads.
Wind wing form
The all-new M6 Pro’s exterior is inspired by a “wind wing” form, both for aesthetic advantage and improved aerodynamic design. The matrix LED headlamps are styled to follow the sharp contours of the vehicle’s front fascia, with ultramodern features such as automatic height adjustment, headlights alarm, Follow-Me-Home function, and high beam assist. The tail lamps are fitted with LED beads that span the width of the vehicle.
Flexible space and storage
The interiors of the M6 Pro are efficient in looks and utility. The cockpit has unobstructed views of the outside, with a large quarter window on the A-pillar, a floating rear view mirror and a straightforward instrument panel design. It is equipped with a 7-inch LCD instrument cluster that seamlessly extends to the 10.25-inch multifunctional infotainment touchscreen.
The 2-2-3 seating configuration effortlessly adjusts to provide more comfortable seating space or cargo hold. The driver seat has motorized 6-way seat adjustment, while the front passenger seat and second row have 4-way manual adjustment that may be fully reclined if passengers want more comfort. The second-row passenger chairs also have multi-level adjustable armrests that can be levered back to give larger legroom whenever the last row is used for storage. The third row has an adjustable backrest and spacious legroom, which can be folded down and hidden away to provide as much as 1,100 liters of storage space.
Intuitive tech
The M6 Pro effortlessly blends visionary design with cutting-edge technology, boasting a 10.25-inch touchscreen that supports Apple connectivity, alongside a Bluetooth hands-free phone system.
ADAS, check
All the features of GAC Motor’s signature ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) are in the M6 Pro, such as adaptive cruise control (ACC), lane departure warning (LDW), autonomous emergency braking (AEB), forward collision warning (FCW), lane keep assist (LKA), high beam assist (HBA), integrated cruise assist (ICA), traffic jam assist (TJA), and traffic sign recognition (TSR), among others.
Passenger safety is all locked in with adjustable seatbelts for all seating and includes unfastened warning for the first two rows. SRS airbags, side airbags, and side curtain airbags offer added peace of mind and protection for all passengers.
A surround view camera system increases visibility and aids in parking maneuvers. Also included are electronic stability program (ESP), hill-start hold control (HHC), and hill descent control (HDC), plus an electronic parking brake (EPB) feature paired with auto hold functionality.
