What did GAC announce at Auto China 2026?

GAC International held its first dedicated global launch event at Auto China 2026 on 24 April 2026, unveiling three electrified models for overseas markets: the AION i60, the AION N60, and the GAC YUE7.

What is the GAC AION i60?

The AION i60 is a range-extended electric family car built around GAC's ADiMOTION powertrain series. It achieves a CLTC combined range of up to 1,240 km and has won two industry awards covering the top 10 REEV models and top 10 EV models categories. GAC plans to launch it globally at the end of 2026.

What is the GAC AION N60?

The AION N60 is a smart electric vehicle powered by GAC's Quark Electric Drive 2.0, which won the 2025 Global New Energy Vehicle Innovation Technology award. It achieves a peak motor efficiency of 99% and energy consumption as low as 11.7 kWh per 100 km, paired with Level 2 intelligent driving.

What is the GAC YUE7?

The GAC YUE7 is GAC's first intelligent rugged family SUV, designed for all-scenario use. It features an integrated frame and digital chassis and has demonstrated consistent performance at temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees Celsius.

When will the GAC AION i60 be available globally?

GAC has stated that the AION i60 will be officially launched globally at the end of 2026.

How many people attended the GAC global launch event?

Approximately 330 attendees gathered at the GAC booth at Auto China 2026, including dealer representatives, key partners, and domestic and international media.

What is GAC's long-term global ambition?

GAC International has set a public target of becoming a front-runner among China's auto exporters by 2030, pursuing a strategy of full-category, full-powertrain and all-scenario coverage across global markets.

What powertrain technology does the AION N60 use?

The AION N60 is powered by GAC's Quark Electric Drive 2.0, which achieved a peak motor efficiency of 99% and was the sole recipient of the 2025 Global New Energy Vehicle Innovation Technology award in its category. Energy consumption is rated as low as 11.7 kWh per 100 km.

What range standard does the AION i60 use, and what does it achieve?

The AION i60 is rated under the CLTC combined cycle, achieving up to 1,240 km of range. It is built on GAC's ADiMOTION series and is classified as a range-extended EV, meaning it carries an auxiliary power source to supplement battery range, which is particularly relevant for markets with developing EV charging infrastructure.

What does the GAC YUE7's cold-weather performance claim mean for fleet operators?

GAC states the YUE7 maintains consistent performance at minus 40 degrees Celsius, which is directly relevant to fleet electrification in markets with extreme winter climates, such as northern Europe, Canada, and Central Asia. Its integrated frame and digital chassis are positioned as class-leading, addressing the durability demands of commercial and mixed-use fleet deployment in challenging conditions.

GAC International used Auto China 2026 to stage its first dedicated global launch event, unveiling three electrified models built for overseas markets. The AION i60, AION N60 and GAC YUE7 are each aimed at a distinct segment of the global EV market, from long-range family transport to all-terrain family SUVs. Around 330 attendees gathered at the GAC booth on 24 April, including dealer representatives, key partners and domestic and international media.

AION i60 and N60 bring distinct EV powertrain strategies to global markets

The AION i60 targets range anxiety head-on. GAC’s new-generation ADiMOTION powertrain series gives it a CLTC combined range of up to 1,240 km. The model has already collected two industry awards, covering both the top 10 REEV models and top 10 EV models categories. GAC says the global launch of the i60 is scheduled for the end of 2026.

The AION N60 takes a different technical approach, featuring GAC’s Quark Electric Drive 2.0 powertrain. That system was the sole winner of the 2025 Global New Energy Vehicle Innovation Technology award, with a peak motor efficiency of 99%. Paired with Level 2 intelligent driving, the N60 returns energy consumption as low as 11.7 kWh per 100 km, making it one of the more efficient propositions in its class.

GAC YUE7 targets fleet electrification across all terrains

The GAC YUE7 is positioned as GAC’s first intelligent rugged family SUV designed for all-scenario use. Its integrated frame and digital chassis are described as class-leading, balancing off-road capability with everyday comfort. GAC confirmed the model maintains consistent performance even at temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees Celsius. Together, all three models reflect GAC’s stated strategy of achieving full-category, full-powertrain and all-scenario coverage across global markets. GAC International has set a public target of becoming a front-runner among China’s auto exporters by 2030.
