The GM8, GAC Motor's first-ever MPV, will enter the market by the end of December. The launch of GM8 marks the first Chinese automaker the company has become through covering the mid-to-high end sedan, SUV and MPV markets with a complete layout of Class C vehicles, fully reflecting GAC Motor's advantaged achievements in platform optimization, smart manufacturing and high-end strategy.

Every new GAC Motor model is designed and engineered to the highest standards. The company's rapid development is credited to its world-leading technology, intelligent and information-based production line layout, and the comprehensive quality assurance system at its world-class factory.

GAC Motor established its first North America R&D Center in Silicon Valley in April and plans to build new R&D centers in Detroit, Los Angeles and Shanghai to support the company's sustainable development going forward.

After making history as the first Chinese automaker to present on the main show floor in 2017, GAC Motor is expected to return to NAIAS in 2018 with a blockbuster lineup including the GM8, GA8, and GS8, as well as the new GA4 mass-production sedan and an all-new concept car.
