Chinese automaker GAC will launch production of three models at the former Hyundai plant in St. Petersburg. The GAC GS3 and GS8 crossovers, as well as the M8 minivan, will be assembled.
The GAC GS3 is a compact crossover with 1.5-liter (turbo, 170 hp) and 2.0-liter (190 hp) engines. The model will be equipped with a 7-speed robotic gearbox.
The GS8 is a mid-size SUV with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine producing 252 hp and an 8-speed automatic transmission, available in front-wheel or all-wheel drive versions. The M8 minivan will receive a 2.0-liter engine producing 231 hp and an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Assembly of the vehicles will begin at the site previously owned by Hyundai. It was acquired in 2024 by the Russian company AGR Automotive Group. The exact launch dates for production, sales start, and prices for GAC vehicles in Russia have not yet been announced.
The Chinese car brand GAC Motor was officially introduced to the Russian market in late 2019. The automaker specializes in the production of mid-size and premium crossovers and minivans.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that multimedia services of the largest Russian IT holding will appear in Chinese cars.
