We believe the models we bring to the auto show can satisfy the needs of a wide range of consumers in the segmented mid to high-end market."
GAC Motor's models have completed a series of road trip tests against tough weather and environment. Middle Eastern customers will get uncompromising driving experience even in summer, when temperature can rise up to 50°C.
Developed on GAC Motor's G-CPMA (Cross-Platform Modular Architecture) platform, the GS7 is a mid-sized SUV designed for consumers who want a fashionable and carefree driving experience.

It carries GAC Motor's second-generation 200T engine that offers peak torque of 202Nm at 1,500RPM.
In addition, the company's self-developed high-end SUV the GS8 meets the North American SUV roof anti-force standard and redefines the high-end SUV market. It is equipped with i-4WD, the on-demand four-wheel drive system to ensure a comfortable and safe driving experience.
To better understand the local market and regional insights, GAC Motor has formed partnership with the Dubai-based car dealer Gargash Motors to deliver integrated, innovative and better service and solutions to local customers. Shehab Gargash noted that the cooperation between the two companies would be further strengthened.
GAC Motor has started its global market strategy in Dubai since 2014 with an initial emphasis on the Middle East market. Middle East has been a strategic market place for GAC Motor to achieve global outreach as an international automaker that excels in research, manufacturing and sales. Since then, it has established mature sales channels in seven countries and regions across the Middle East, especially in Bahrain and Qatar, where GAC Motor has become the No. 1 Chinese automobile brand.
The company also set up its North American R&D center in Silicon Valley, which will act as a key growth engine in its international market strategy. The North American R&D center will be responsible for talent cultivation and advanced technology, helping the company to achieve further global outreach. The company plans to enter the North American market no later than 2019, according to Yu.
"In the future, GAC Motor will continue to offer automotive experience with enhanced vitality and creativity to its global customers, by carrying forward the brand philosophy of 'innovation, quality and pleasure' and embracing cutting-edge technologies," Yu said.
