China’s GAC Motors plots US entry by 2020

GAC’s final all-new model in Detroit is a full-electric hatchback called the GE3. The five-door model features a cleaner design than its more complex-looking siblings with a clear focus on aerodynamics. The model is labelled as a concept, but its powertrain is said to show what’s to come in GAC’s upcoming models.

On show alongside its all-new models is a hybrid version of the existing Trumpchi GA8. The plug-on variant of GAC’s executive saloon marks its launch in China – there’s no word as to whether it’ll be offered elsewhere at this stage.

GAC said it wants to sell its first vehicle in North America before the close of this decade, before moving into other global markets, including Europe.
