Commitment to Customer Experience

In its pursuit of enhancing customer satisfaction, GAC has unveiled the GAC CARE+ program, a comprehensive customer service initiative. This program supports consumers from car selection and purchase through to usage and maintenance. For convenience, GAC operates a showroom in Macao and ensures maintenance services across the Bay Area through its unified network called “One GAC.”

To simplify vehicle management, GAC has launched an application allowing owners to control their vehicles effortlessly from their smartphones. Additionally, the company plans to open further dedicated service after-sales showrooms.

GAC is not only focused on innovative vehicles but is also strengthening its ties with consumers globally through sports marketing. Partnerships with esteemed football clubs such as Chelsea FC, Villarreal CF, and Flamengo aim to connect with enthusiasts and share the excitement of the sport, boosting GAC’s brand visibility and customer engagement.

Strong Sales Growth in the Asia-Pacific Region

On a broader scale, GAC's retail sales in the Asia-Pacific region witnessed a significant 109% year-on-year increase in the first three quarters.
