Embracing the theme "All New GAC, Going Global", GAC Group made a powerful impression with an all-star lineup across its three major brands GAC, AION, and HYPTEC. At the event, GAC officially announced the strategic upgrade of its "Hong Kong ACTION 2.0" plan and unveiled two highly anticipated models: the new E9 Premium and the AION UT Elite.
