2023 MG GT Sport Vs. 2023 GAC Empow GB Comparo

The MG GT and the GAC Empow, two identically specced models that have a ton of features as well as driving dynamics in tow. With both of these cars being so similar, it's no wonder that Caco beat Jack up just to come to a conclusion. Now, this video was shot before GAC upped their prices for the Empow. The real question becomes, with the GAC now priced at P1,305,000 in its GB variant, is it still a comparable buy? Watch the video and let us know!

[@protonjicari5990]

Just watched this Comparo now, if GAC will bring the Empow R revealed at Shanghai Auto Show then I may buy it!

[@XGlite015]

I prefer the MG GT because of the looks. But, power and speed is the advantage of the Empow and it also looks good. If these sedans sell well in the Philippines then maybe it will entice Geely to bring the Preface Turbo. Now that would be above the Empow when it comes to performance.

[@MiggyMndza]

A comparo, already? AD, that's hella quick. MG should be the better looking and despite being subjective, looks tbh should be awarded to the GAC. It simply looks and sits better than the former, where fitment is 101% whack. Sure, a proper set of coils or lowering springs will fix that and a better set of wheels, but the GAC already gives you a perfect look without spending more just to achieve that. ... and the fake exhaust tips looks worse on the MG, for me at least. Both are still a bummer why they had to make it fake. Both are great vehicles nonetheless and are very tempting propositions as Chinese compacts, but overall I'd say GAC just because based on experience, their products just feels better in build quality and driving dynamics.

[@gerardrocks24]

I love how the Chinese cars are making the market more competitive, from an MG 5 owner here, the fact that my car is worth only 750k, , I have a touchscreen infotainment, a rear cam, a big frame and a lot of space for a car under the subcompact sedan segment plus it's a CVT and just overall a good looking car is crazy. At that price point I would either be driving a somewhat base model vios/mirage with a lot less features and less stunning looks or maybe a smaller vehicle. Honestly, the future of the car industry in the coming years is gonna be very interesting.

[@efzap6516]

Nah. After those Chinese brands gained foothold sa market, tataas din yan. Well yung geely nagtaas na, but this will challenge other brands na mas magpaganda then you're correct.

[@jerohamromero]

Same here. MG5 owner here and sobrng satisfied!

[@nielsalute9069]

That’s just the GB variant of the Empow. It’s not even the top of the line GE yet which has 18 inches wheels, a different grille design, real quad exhausts and the list goes on.

[@AlabastroKing]

yeah but that would be 100k difference in cost.

[@WheelHeadd]

That's the problem though. Even the mid-variant is more expensive than MG GT's top of the line, what more with Empow's top of the line? Though I prefer the overall design of the Empow's top of the line, but the price difference would make you hesitate.

[@nielsalute9069]

@@WheelHeadd few things to take note though. Even the mid variant of the Empow has ADAS, AEB and Lane keep assist. Also the infotainment system of the MG GT is on the laggy side with no physical buttons or knobs for the AC control. I like both cars, I just want to pick the winner and in my book it is the Empow. But I really do love that Yellow paint job of the MG GT. 🤙

[@Ilovepelepenz]

It even has a larger sunroof!

Sir Caco, nag foundation ba kayo on the video? Hindi lang pantay sa leeg! Still a great comparo!! Still looking forward for a Comparo with Hybrid Suzuki Ertiga and its segment!

5:02 - best to have the "Lights on, Lights off" feature for comparo...

[@Mister_Best]

Looking at the rear, it's like Benz (MG) vs Lexus (Gac)...performance wise, I like the sportiness and interior clean lines of the Empow...as well as the torque...so Empow wins ..for me.

[@zaidmohammed8678]

I don’t understand how they’re so different The empow in UAE has real exhaust tips and it sounds insane too

[@kotabg1946]

It's very nice if one has both sedans in ones garage ❤️❤️

[@docregsportsmd]

👍👍👍

[@nielsalute9069]

It’s actually kind of weird that Caco gave the win for the MG when it comes to tech and safety features. The only advantage that the GT has with the Empow is the 360 camera. It doesn’t even have ADAS, Lane keep assist or AEB..

[@raianmarkpaggao9793]

EMPOW GE WINS

[@lulu_dotes]

i thought so too

[@vivi_rabbitteu0077]

Exactly!! 360 camera is not much needed for a sedan since its not that big of a car like and SUV. But ADAS, lane assist and etc those are useful things in city driving esp in expressways

That’s the GL variant which won’t released here. The top of the line here is the GE, yes it has the Matte green color but it doesn’t have the full panoramic glass sunroof. What it does have is the partial sunroof found in the GB variant.

Sorry to non sunroof cars.😂 AC is not discussed while in emGRand era this is a big deal also. NCAP Review must feature in all turbo and must discuss also.

[@WheelHeadd]

MG6 with 164HP/250NMTq is the competitor of Empow and they're in the same category of Civic, Altis, Lancer EX, Elantra, etc. MG GT(it's also called MG5 in other countries) is the predecessor of MG5 which is in the same category of Vios, City, Accent. Empow and GT should not be compared as they're not in the same category. Would it be right to compare Vios to Civic? 🤦🏻‍♂️
