The launch was announced on July 29, 2026 and is described by General Manager Calvin Cheng as an “important milestone” for the company’s growth in the Philippines.
The GN6 features a 1.5‑litre turbocharged engine delivering 176.7 PS and 270 Nm of torque, with a seven‑speed wet dual‑clutch transmission and a suggested retail price of P1.298 million (launch price P1.198 million).

The GN8 PHEV Executive completes the lineup as a plug‑in hybrid model, with pricing up to P3.488 million.
