GAC Motor Philippines, under the leadership of Astara Philippines, continues to strengthen its presence in the global automotive market, earning two prestigious awards at the 2025 GAC International Partner Conference. The brand secured back-to-back Gold Awards for Outstanding Distributor of the Year 2024 and Outstanding Sales Department of 2024, recognizing its impressive growth, strong sales performance, and commitment to customer satisfaction.
GAC Motor International has expanded its reach to 72 countries and regions, achieving a remarkable 97% increase in global retail performance, with the Asian market playing a crucial role in this growth. The Philippines emerged as a key contributor, recording 3,207 unit sales in 2024—an impressive 65% year-on-year increase. This achievement underscores the rising demand for GAC Motor vehicles in the country.
At the 2025 GAC International Partner Conference, GAC Motor Philippines was commended for its rapid dealership expansion. From just six dealerships in 2022, the network grew to 20 in 2023 and further expanded to 32 in 2024, marking the fastest dealership growth within the global GAC network.
“These international recognitions affirm the strong performance and growing influence of GAC Motor Philippines,” said Luis Torres, Country Manager of Astara Philippines. “Our continued success is driven by the dedication of our team, dealer partners, and loyal customers. With the unwavering support of GAC Motor International, we remain committed to delivering high-quality vehicles, enhancing customer satisfaction, and solidifying our position in the industry.”
As part of its commitment to excellence, GAC Motor International is introducing the GAC Sales and Service Way (GSSW) training program, designed to enhance operational capabilities across its markets. This initiative aims to refine sales and service processes, elevating the overall customer experience.
With these milestones, Astara-led GAC Motor Philippines is poised for even greater achievements. Strengthened collaboration with GAC Motor International will bring enhanced product offerings, competitive pricing, and an improved ownership experience for customers in the Philippines.
