The year ahead will see the introduction of new models, advancements in electric mobility and a continued expansion of the brand’s national dealership network.

GAC Motor is introducing new models, including the high-tech Aion Y electric crossover SUV and the refined, all-new GAC Motor M8. Updates and new derivatives across the existing range will further reinforce the brand’s position.

In line with global trends toward greener transport, GAC Motor will be launching both a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) and a fully Electric Vehicle (EV) in South Africa.

With 28 dealerships already in operation and plans to grow to 40 by the end of 2025, GAC Motor says it is making significant investments to ensure customers across the country have access to its vehicles, as well as comprehensive aftersales service and support.

“We’re entering a very exciting phase for GAC Motor in South Africa,” says Brian Smith, Marketing Director of GAC Motor South Africa. “The developments planned for 2025 reflect our long-term commitment to the market and to offering South Africans more choice in advanced, reliable mobility.”
