Astara Philippines is one of the biggest distributors that will showcase its whole portfolio of brands at the upcoming 2024 Manila International Auto Show. With the Peugeot, GAC, JMC, and JAC brands under the Astara umbrella, the distributor has confirmed they will be present at the two venues of this year’s event.
Instead of having the 1.5-liter turbo-four from the Empow, the upcoming Emkoo Hybrid has a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder Atkinson cycle engine that’s assisted by an electric motor. GAC’s hybrid system for the Emkoo works similarly to Toyota’s system, where propulsion can come from either the electric motor, the ICE, or as a combined unit.
GAC claims the Emkoo Hybrid has better fuel efficiency and enhanced performance. In their home market, the electrified powertrain can do up to 21 km/l under the CLTC cycle. With the Emkoo Hybrid, GAC gets a direct competitor to the likes of the GWM Haval H6 HEV, the Geely Azkarra mild hybrid, and Chery Tiggo 7 Pro PHEV in the electrified compact crossover segment.
