GAC's Ambitious New Energy Launch at the Riyadh Motor Show
On December 9, 2025, the Riyadh Motor Show saw its grand opening, showcasing the future of automotive innovation. GAC, a prominent Chinese automaker, made headlines with its launch of the AION and HYPTEC new energy vehicle lineups, highlighting its commitment to expanding its footprint in the Middle Eastern market.
GAC presented three of its new energy models: the AION V, AION ES, and HYPTEC HT. This launch is a crucial step in GAC's strategy, termed "Action in the Middle East," to enhance its competitive edge in the region. The introduction of these vehicles aligns with the growing demand for sustainable transportation solutions in Saudi Arabia, as the nation is increasingly prioritizing eco-friendly technologies.
The AION series is tailored to diverse driving scenarios, from family outings to daily commutes and luxury travel. Each vehicle incorporates GAC's extensive experience in design, safety, intelligence, and comfort, ensuring that Saudi consumers will enjoy superior transportation options based on reliability, cutting-edge new energy technologies, and advanced smart systems.
In line with GAC’s customer-first philosophy, the company announced an impressive warranty policy for its vehicles: an 8-year or 160,000-kilometer guarantee on the car itself and up to 8 years or 200,000 kilometers for the battery. Additionally, GAC is committed to strengthening its local service capacities, optimizing parts supply efficiency, and achieving a parts availability rate exceeding 95% across its facilities.
At the motor show, the automotive giant displayed eight models from its GAC, AION, and HYPTEC brands. This lineup spans fully electric vehicles to those powered by traditional fuels, showcasing a comprehensive product matrix designed for urban commutes, professional travel, and family journeys. Notable electric models among the presentation included the AION V, AION ES, HYPTEC HT, and HYPTEC SSR, while more traditional fuel options featured the GAC GS8, GAC M8, GAC EMZOOM, and GAC EMPOW.
With a solid user base and a brand presence built over seven years in Saudi Arabia, GAC is leveraging advanced technologies and comprehensive services to enhance its market competitiveness. Moving forward, the company aims to foster win-win partnerships, driven by its long-term development principle of "One GAC 2.0". GAC's commitment to Saudi Arabia is evident in their motto: serving and integrating with the nation, thereby contributing to its prosperity and the broader goal of transitioning to new energy sources across the Middle East.
As this landscape evolves, GAC is positioned as a proactive agent in promoting the transition towards sustainable mobility. The promising debut of the AION and HYPTEC series is not just a significant step for GAC but a pivotal moment for new energy vehicles in the entire Middle Eastern automotive sector. GAC’s foresight and dedication may very well be a driving force behind the region’s automotive evolution, championing a new era of environmentally friendly transport solutions.
This initiative marks the beginning of a new chapter in the Middle East's vehicle landscape, reinforcing GAC's role in leading sustainable innovations and fostering growth in the local automotive industry.
