GAC GS5 may leave the Russian market

Russian dealers of the GAC have practically sold out the GAC GS5 crossovers - they remained in a limited number. Moreover, new deliveries of this model are not expected at least this year, GAC dealers informed China Cars portal.

Officially, the Russian representative office of GAC Motor did not comment on this information. However, a source familiar with the company's plans explained that the mid-size GAC GS5 crossover is unlikely to appear in the Russian market, since this model is economically disadvantageous for the company. Today, the focus is on sales of the more expensive GAC GS8 SUV, while the premium minivan GN8 has a very narrow niche. It is also worth noting that the updated GS3 and GS4 crossovers have already appeared in China, which could replace the GS5.

But now GAC Motor has no specific product plans, and the company has a long cycle of preparing cars for export to Russia. According to the source, the new GAC models will appear in the Russian market no earlier than 2024. We will remind that sales of the new mid-size crossover GAC GS5 started in the Russian market in September of the previous year.

Since then, 177 cars of this model have been sold, while since July the number of sold cars has been systematically reduced, and in September it has been reduced to zero.
