China's GAC to launch new models in the UK

GAC will launch a new range of electric vehicles in the UK under a new agreement with Jameel Motors.

The agreement expands Jameel Motors’ existing portfolio in the UK – where it already distributes the electric commercial vehicle brand Farizon Auto – and will be its first passenger vehicle brand in the market.

Two all-electric models from GAC will be available, initially: the Aion V, a C-segment SUV, and the Aion UT, a B-segment hatchback.

In China, the Aion V has a 466-mile range.

Both cars will be available through select retail partners across the UK, with first customer deliveries expected at the end of Q1 2026. Additional models will follow to expand the Aion line-up.

Jasmmine Wong, chief executive officer - Jameel Motors, said: “The joint venture with GAC represents a shared vision, and an exciting opportunity to meet the UK’s growing demand for smarter, cleaner passenger vehicles. Led by customer preference and guided by our expertise, we’re committed to staying ahead of trends and delivering first-class solutions that are both innovative and sustainable.”
