GAC expands its electrified model lineup with the introduction of the GS4 MAX HEV, a next-generation hybrid compact SUV.
“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 Emzoon, 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.”
At the heart of the GS4 MAX HEV is GAC’s 2.0-liter hybrid engine paired with a 2-speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT) and a 2.1 kWh Nickel Cobalt Manganese (NCM) battery. Combining modern architectural aesthetics with GAC’s advanced hybrid technology, the multi-mode system seamlessly transitions between Pure Electric (EV), Hybrid (HV), Direct Engine Drive, and Energy Recuperation modes.
The system delivers a combined power output of 232ps and 300Nm. GAC claims that it can deliver a total driving range of up to 1,250 kilometers on a single tank, offering electric vehicle-like responsiveness with long-range peace of mind.
The cabin is designed to maximize spatial freedom and passenger comfort on every journey. Anchored by a generous 2,750 mm wheelbase and an expansive 1,901-mm-wide body, the GS4 MAX HEV provides class-leading legroom and shoulder room across both rows. The interior features a modern Minimalist Black cabin crafted for low-maintenance elegance, framed by an expansive panoramic glass roof with an electric sunshade that bathes the space in natural light.
Passengers benefit from zero-pressure comfort seats with precision piping and extensive perforation for superior long-distance support. The cabin incorporates whisper-quiet acoustic insulation, rear passenger air vents, and smart storage compartments throughout. When maximum cargo capacity is required, the second-row seats fold completely flat to unlock a seamless, unobstructed load floor, making light work of bulky strollers, sports gear, or luggage for family getaways.
Safety and intelligent connectivity complete the GS4 MAX HEV package. Built around a robust safety-cage body structure comprising high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel in critical load-bearing areas, protection is further anchored by an Airbag Protection System equipped with dual front, front side, second-row side airbags, and seamless one-piece woven side curtain airbags.
Driving confidence is elevated by a full Level 2 Driver Assistance Suite, including 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), alongside a Surround View Camera System.
On the tech front, driver control is centered around a 10.1-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 7-inch LCD digital instrument cluster, an aircraft-inspired gear selector, and a 50W Wireless Smartphone Charger with built-in cooling fan technology. Externally, its clean, confident presence is framed by a bold Qilin-inspired front fascia, Qingyun Ladder matrix grille, Morning Star LED headlights, full-width Changhong LED taillights, and electric hidden door handles.
