Chinese automaker GAC Motor is returning to the 2019 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) from January 14 to 28 in Detroit. The company will host a press conference at 1:40 p.m. on January 14, 2019, at their exhibition space in Hall B of Cobo Center. The theme of GAC Motor’s NAIAS exhibition this year is “Vision Unlimited.”

The Jan. 14 press conference will feature the world premiere of the new concept car ENTRANZE and the first appearance in North America of the brand’s latest minivan GM6 and the all-new GS5 SUV.

Developed by GAC’s Advanced Design Center in Los Angeles, the ENTRANZE Concept, which will debut at the 2019 NAIAS, is defined as a hyper-modern family vehicle and equipped with the latest intelligent system technologies, sustainability features and automated driving.

The ENTRANZE Concept explores more possibilities for the modern family vehicle by taking a 7-seater SUV and adding lots of technology and ergonomics to make driving easier and more pleasurable.

The GM6 minivan, recently released in China, is making its first appearance outside China at 2019 NAIAS. It is a smart vehicle designed specifically to meet family travelling needs and emphasizes spacious seating. It has a five-star safety package, an AI-enhanced intelligent driving system and features an industry-leading 99 square feet of extra-large cargo space.

The technologically-advanced medium- to high-end SUV GS5 will show up in the show too. First unveiled at the Paris Motor Show 2018, the all-new GS5 adopts GAC Motor’s next-generation 1.5T GDI engine delivering a vibrant and exciting driving experience with enhanced performance

GAC Motor will also display the brand’s elite vehicle lineup of SUVs, sedans, minivans and new energy cars including the brand-new GS4 launched in early 2018, luxury SUV GS8, seven-seat minivan GM8, and new energy car GE3.

NAIAS is an important stage that bears witness to the internationalization of GAC Motor. Since its first appearance at NAIAS in 2013, the company has kept the global debuts of its start models GS4, GS7, GE3 and GA4 for this stage.
