The figures were reported to CAMPI, and the report included a year-to-date retail sale figure of 1,017 units as of August 2023. The success of the brand can be attributed to its new crop of vehicles with some really compelling designs such as the GAC GS8, Empow, Emkoo, and GS3 Emzoom. The new models all embody GAC Motor’s commitment to high quality, fine craftsmanship, and innovation, and they’re helping the brand gain a strong foothold in the market.

"We are beyond thrilled to share yet another remarkable milestone for GAC. In a mere eight months, we have proudly welcomed over 1,000 delighted GAC owners across the nation. Our optimism and determination are stronger than ever as we set our sights on breaking the 2,000 mark by year-end. This achievement stands as a testament to the trust our customers place in our brand and the invaluable support from our dealer partners, all of which enhance the ownership experience."
