The Chinese company is kicking off its European sales plan in smaller national markets.

Chinese automotive OEM GAC has hosted a launch event at the historic Chrismina Castle in Cascais (near Lisbon), officially introducing the GAC brand and its first line-up of AION vehicles to Portugal.

The highlight of the event was the unveiling of the first European model, the AION V.

GAC said the launch event in Portugal marked a significant milestone for GAC INTERNATIONAL as it entered the European market.

With the AION V debut priced from €29,990 plus VAT (IVA), GAC said its arrival in Portugal signals the brand's ‘dedication to shaping the future of sustainable mobility in Europe’.

In September GAC launched the AION V in Finland.

Since debuting its "European Market Plan" at the Paris Motor Show, GAC has designated Europe as a strategic core market, entering Poland, Portugal, and Finland in rapid succession.

By 2028, GAC aims for full coverage throughout Europe, supported by ongoing efforts in ‘channel development, service system enhancement, and industrial chain integration’.
