Get ready for another Chinese brand to enter the UK market – GAC.
The brand, also known as Guangzhou Automobile Group, has signed a distribution deal with Jameel Motors to launch two models under the Aion name.
The Aion UT hatchback, which is a Renault 5-sized car, and the Volkswagen ID.4-rivalling Aion V SUV are expected to go on sale in the first quarter of 2026, and will be available through 'select retail partners', said Jameel Motors.
GAC is one China's largest carmakers, and news of its launch comes as four other Chinese car brands arrived in the UK this month. Meanwhile, Jameel already distributes the Geely-owned Farizon commercial vehicle brand in the UK.
Jameel Motors CEO, Jasmmine Wong, 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."
Wayne Wei, President – GAC International, added: "GAC’s entry into the UK marks a crucial step in its internationalisation strategy. As we set foot in this dynamic market, GAC is committed to bringing industry-leading products and first-class services to UK consumers."
The Aion V SUV will be the larger of the two models to launch in the UK next year
