[@techshortpants]

GAC really applying what they've learned from their subsidiary GAC-Toyota ^^

[@KyleLiongCars]

Mmhmm

[@chucky882]

Smart move GAC, using 8S A/T rather than CVT

[@KyleLiongCars]

It needs to be able to handle the high torque

[@MoiPloy]

great presentation as always

[@KyleLiongCars]

Thanks

[@CrossCuntyRic]

Got to ride this with the new Alphard in Shanghai. Really premium and parang hindi Chinese car, but the Alphard was just a generation ahead pagdating sa NVH and refinement. For its price tho i think it has what it takes. The Super Grandia Elite will still take the cake in our market for sure.

[@KyleLiongCars]

Super curious about its NVH. Hope to get to try it out soon

[@CrossCuntyRic]

@@KyleLiongCars similar siya sa previous-gen Alphards which is already good sa totoo lang Kyle. My parents were shocked it was a Chinese car. We used Didi btw. They offered an Alphard and the Hongqi HQ9 pati the Buick GL8 which we got to ride in as well, dun namin nacompare. Mas maraming amenities and features yung Chinese cars pero pagdating sa refinement Id pick the Alphard parin if not for its bloated sticker price.

[@KyleLiongCars]

Gets. Thanks sa inputs. Really excited to try it out now even more haha

[@skyco168]

The model you showed is actually the top tier GX master variant, not the entry-level GL master variant. All the features you mentioned are part of the higher end variant as indicated in the car brochure.

[@KyleLiongCars]

Yes correct. Sorry about the confusion

[@patricklicup6811]

Nice review!

[@KyleLiongCars]

Thanks sir

[@skyco168]

​@@KyleLiongCars But thanks for the great quick first look, have been waiting for this car to arrive for months, but honestly a bit disappointed when I saw the feature list, was expecting the top variant to be the hybrid or PHEV version they sell in China. For 4M, it is quite close to the hybrid Alphard already. They also removed the TV, the 16 speaker Yamaha sound system, and the LCD screen controls on the captain seats (which is pretty standard on the top master variant in china). Thinking that the GWM Wey Gaoshan (High Mountain) which will also be released this year, might be a better deal.

[@KyleLiongCars]

They probs had to remove those for functionality reasons or price. In theory, already close to the Alphard HEV, but if’s so hard to get those for SRP :((

[@nathanreyes4309]

The car and the host will both feel very at home in Pasay's many establishments :)

[@KyleLiongCars]

Indeed

[@CrossCuntyRic]

On the fence. They’ll still go for the Alphard iba reputation ng Alphard as a highballer car compared to this eh. Same thing in Shanghai mas marami paring Alphards and the Buick GL8s compared to the locally-made ones.

[@gregsantos9731]

Drive it Kyle next time. 😊

[@KyleLiongCars]

Will surely do

[@YouTVEntertainment]

ANG SOLID ❤ INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR

[@KyleLiongCars]

Oonga eh

[@jasondeleon2457]

Update us on your S Class mercedes please. Miss those old car vids. If you have time.😅

[@KyleLiongCars]

Long sold the W140 :(

[@SoJooCars]

Solid!

[@KyleLiongCars]

Diba?!

[@markdelosreyes742]

Nice car

[@KyleLiongCars]

Right?

[@markchan2512]

GAC is the best chinese car from China. Their service center here in the philippines though is suspect.

[@KyleLiongCars]

How’s your experience with their service?

[@rayzelito]

Still looks fancy but cheap. Still want one

[@KyleLiongCars]

I love the look

[@sanban5524]

this is fire

[@KyleLiongCars]

Loving it so far too. Can’t wait to ride it

[@dedo69]

ano diff ng GL sa GX?

[@KyleLiongCars]

Extra seat adjustment functions, the tray tables, the large 14.6” screen, rims, blind spot monitoring, etc.

[@chucky882]

Does it have that privacy thingy at the back of the front seats? Same as the top model of the Lexus LM

[@KyleLiongCars]

Nope

[@namuka1247]

Is these rear wheel drive or front wheel drive

[@KyleLiongCars]

Front

[@adrianrubi5012]

No front fog-lights?

[@viralinfo23]

No need fog lights.. its headlight is enough to light the road… malakas po ilaw nyan at na aadjust

[@JLP627]

They need to lower their prices to really gain market share. Build their brand reliability and reputation for a few years. They may be associated with Toyota but they are not in the same level of brand reputation as Toyota.

[@KyleLiongCars]

The base model is 40% lower from the SRP of the Alphard. How much lower does it have to be? And that's SRP haha! Reselling prices for the Alphard is much higher.

[@JLP627]

@KyleLiongCars Pricing still puts them at a prestige level where the market is snobbish re brand names, when they need to go get aggressive and get people to buy their product because the deal just seems insane. Take TCL as an example, after just a few years they are now in the conversation w Samsung and Sony.

[@jeytanismael7981]

Seems you are walking in a dark streets without wearing any shoes and yet you did feel nothing.... The GAC is one of the most reliable automotive manufacturers in the world. Stop being traditional minded dahil made in china yan eh kahit ang bmw loncin ang supplier ng mga parts niyan. Ang toyota sa china din kumukuha ng parts. Better do some research stop fooling yourself crab mentality..

[@benatosaezgat872]

So you left Auto Deal? Good luck

[@KyleLiongCars]

I think you’re mistaking me for Caco? Hahaha

[@DenDen-ph]

How durable? Bk maging Geely yan after 1 year?

[@KyleLiongCars]

Parang generally ok rin naman yung mga Geely ah? Isolated cases lang just like most established brands rin naman haha! More than 1 year na Coolray ko no issues :D

[@kennethgodfreyjamandron6908]

no wonder it looks like the alphard bacause of their 50/50 partnership with toyota.

[@KyleLiongCars]

Yeah could be that

[@patricklicup6811]

Nakita ko sarili ko haha

[@KyleLiongCars]

Ahaha dapat pala binayaran ko talent fee mo sir

[@beckdavid5552]

gac is manufacturer of toyata in china

[@KyleLiongCars]

Yep

[@YouTVEntertainment]

SANA MAY BLACKOUT RIN SA LIKOD

[@KyleLiongCars]

pa wrap nlng haha

[@lambertosaga1241]

Buying this car w/o proven realibility is a big , big gamble ,... well anyway its your money not mine ,...he he he 😂😂😂

[@KyleLiongCars]

Just like buying a new model from a traditional brand haha

[@JLP627]

Yeah, maybe when it's been around 3 or so years and feedback is still good it'll be a line to take more seriously at this price range.

[@hakb4877]

Toyota pa din madami parts, mabilis masira mga ganyan ,alaphard wanna be pa hehe

[@KyleLiongCars]

May experience na ba kayo sir dito sa GAC na nasira agad?

[@KuchingKingVideoGamer]

Good luck finding hybrid battery replacement for it 😂

[@AntiJEVsInPH]

​Japanese hybrids unreliable @@KuchingKingVideoGamer

[@brioblancaflor3662]

Watch out Alphard ;))

[@raedelapena234]

The host is very caco tirona 😂😂

[@KyleLiongCars]

Hmmm

[@asrockrpg]

Chinese Alphard or Chinese Lexus LM.

[@KyleLiongCars]

Hmm

[@monching6919]

GAC and toyota had joint ventures they manufactured some of its cars in china like camry and siena to name a few. I’m not surprise they have their own version of alphard.

[@brandonangelodiaz8854]

Since watching the CHINA OBSERVER channel, been having doubts on their vehicles.

[@KyleLiongCars]

Hmmm

[@vangpham2514]

dont worry, you ll never be able to aford it in your lifetime

[@KuchingKingVideoGamer]

That KZbin Channel is funded by the American government and CIA 😂 They're the equivalent of SMNI in China as the onwer of that KZbin Channel owns a cult group in China and he believes that he's much superior than God just like Quiboloy 😂

[@nadawelngailocano1123]

Innova na lang ako

[@KyleLiongCars]

Go for it

[@philipsanchez5517]

CHINA

[@KyleLiongCars]

Yeah

[@cometanet8389]

copies as usual

[@MrFaccts]

Well , it is better to buy a luxury looking copy than the boring Toyota Alphard with depressing interior .

[@user-bm6yk8mh8n]

Mukhang bakya. Buti nalang makintab.

[@KyleLiongCars]

hmm

[@maczpeed]

GAC another State owned company ng China.

[@KyleLiongCars]

Yeah

[@KuchingKingVideoGamer]

So?😂

[@Opai081]

Chinese car 😂

[@KyleLiongCars]

They're good!!

[@area50view]

Copy lexus LM

[@KyleLiongCars]

Hmmm might be a reason for it...

[@KyleLiongCars]

But also.... this came out before the current gen LM

[@area50view]

@@KyleLiongCars the lexus LM came in 2020..i like China's effort for building cars but would be nice to be original sometimes

[@Opai081]

Bakla

[@KyleLiongCars]

🌈🌈

[@Colstan]

It's too pricy for something made in china and without at least 5 years track records.

[@yangmaster24]

GAC has been manufacturing cars far more than 5 years, and im pretty sure this one has Alphard DNA

[@KyleLiongCars]

They have a pretty established track record already

[@BossPau]

Then don’t buy it you poorling

[@user-ft6ir4jf6y]

Sabihin mo close minded ka lng...or colonial mentality...anu nmn kung made in china?e kung globally distributed sya..?tanga ka ba?mag research ka...kung anu2 kasi inaatupag mo...ung cellphone na ginamit mo mag comment d2 100% made in china yan...umay ng mga tao 2lad mo..

[@monching6919]

GAC is the manufacturer of Toyota in China. the fact they trusted them that gives me assurance that it should be fine.

[@IOXY3]

Lol. Gac a luxury brand. Gtfo!

[@KyleLiongCars]

Ayt I’m out then

[@booboogaloo2152]

This “review” is nothing more than an infomercial for what is a hyped up miniaturized minivan. In all honesty, the front looks just plain ugly and plasticky. And notice how incredibly narrow it is. I didn’t see anything truly luxurious about it in this video.

[@skyco168]

Read the title, it's a "First Look", not a review. They were invited to the launch of the M8 yesterday, expect other youtubers to release their "First Looks" soon too.

[@KyleLiongCars]

Correct. We’ll get into the details when we get to do a proper review

[@KaisiirFlynn]

Read the title again. Then comeback here.

[@KuchingKingVideoGamer]

You've got terrible reading comprehension 😂

[@tonyrock5313]

What an ugly car!!!
