GAC Reports Strong Performance in January 2026 Leading Global Expansion Efforts

GAC's Impressive Start to 2026: Leading Global Expansion

As the year unfolds, GAC is making headlines with an "impressive start" in January 2026. The company's overseas wholesale sales soared by 69% year-over-year, contributing to a dynamic growth trajectory established over the past two years. This remarkable performance lays a robust foundation for GAC’s ambitious goal of reaching 300,000 overseas sales units by the end of 2026. Among the vehicles driving this success is the AION V, which has set a new monthly retail sales record since its global launch.

Regional Market Insights

GAC's success is not limited to just numbers; it is a testament to the company’s strategic growth across various regional markets. In the Asia-Pacific region, GAC has consistently ranked among the top three Chinese brands by sales volume in Cambodia. Meanwhile, European markets have also experienced significant growth, with retail sales in Greece seeing an unprecedented increase of 233% in January compared to December of the previous year. This surge highlights the growing recognition of the GAC brand in competitive automotive markets.

In the Middle East, the GAC GS8 secured its position as the third best-selling Chinese brand in the large SUV segment in Kuwait, showcasing the competitiveness of its offerings. In the Americas, GAC has emerged as a leading Chinese brand in Panama, while it maintains a strong position among the top three sellers of electric vehicles in Colombia. This expanding influence in multiple regions underscores the successful execution of GAC's global strategy.

Product & System Enhancements

The remarkable sales growth can be attributed to the continuous launch of high-quality products and the establishment of systematic capabilities. The GAC S7 and the AION i60, which debuted in China in 2025, are expected to hit international markets soon, thereby accelerating GAC’s product portfolio expansion. Both models have already garnered substantial acclaim domestically and are projected to be significant growth drivers for GAC abroad.

Furthermore, GAC has made considerable progress in strengthening its operational systems. The ongoing "thousand networks plan" has led to the establishment of 20 new overseas sales outlets in January alone, bringing the total to 650 globally. This extensive network spans 86 countries and regions across five major areas: Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, Europe, the CIS, and Central and South America, creating a robust infrastructure necessary for sustained sales growth.

In addition, five overseas production facilities have been completed and are operational, while the AION UT project has reached a pivotal milestone with the successful unveiling of its first prototype at the Magna facility in Austria. Localization efforts are also underway with production projects initiated in Cambodia, Brazil, and Egypt, further enhancing GAC’s global manufacturing footprint.

Conclusion

GAC's strong performance in January is a clear indication of its strategic vision and execution capabilities. With a focus on quality products, robust systems, and a commitment to expanding its global presence, GAC is well positioned to achieve its ambitious sales targets and continue its trajectory as a key player in the international automotive industry.
