Guangzhou – October 17, 2026 -- GAC sold more than 197,000 vehicles overseas in January-September 2026, up 138.9% year on year, and is targeting 300,000 overseas units for the full year. The automaker disclosed the figures as it exhibited at the 140th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair), which opened on 15 October in Guangzhou.
GAC overseas sales have more than doubled since 2024
Overseas volume stood at 90,000 units in 2024 and reached 130,000 units in 2025. The nine-month 2026 total already exceeds the full-year 2025 figure. Reaching the annual goal requires fewer than 103,000 additional units in the final quarter.
GAC describes the shift as a move from product export to system-level global expansion. It plans to advance its ONE GAC 2.0 strategy, deepening localized operations and widening its global footprint.
