The head of GAC Australia said it has the pick of global models for potential local launches, as its Chinese parent busily expands its global presence.

GAC, which stands for Guangzhou Automobile Group, sells more cars in left-hand drive China than in any other market, posting 2 million sales there in 2024. However, it also sells vehicles in various right-hand drive markets such as Thailand.

It will launch in Australia this month with a ready parts supply, around 30 dealers and three models confirmed – a petrol SUV, electric SUV and a plug-in hybrid people mover.

While GAC offers three separate marques in China – Aion, China-only brand GAC Trumpchi, and Hyptec – it will sell all its vehicles under the GAC name in Australia regardless of their overseas branding.
