GAC Group has expanded its European footprint with the launch of its all-electric AION V SUV in Finland, marking a key step in the company’s ongoing European Market Plan and reinforcing the growing presence of high-quality Chinese electric vehicles in the Nordic region.

Key Highlights

  • Finland becomes the third European market to welcome GAC vehicles.
  • Launch follows GAC’s global partnership with Inchcape established at the 2024 Paris Motor Show.
  • AION V earns a 2025 Euro NCAP five-star safety rating.
  • Offers 510 km WLTP range and ultra-fast charging—10% to 80% in just 24 minutes.

The introduction of the AION V in Finland represents a major milestone in GAC’s pan-European strategy. Building upon its strategic partnership with Inchcape, the collaboration combines Inchcape’s established sales and service infrastructure with GAC’s advanced electric vehicle technologies, ensuring European consumers benefit from both innovation and reliability. Finland serves as the first market in this alliance, with plans for broader expansion across the continent.

Designed to align with Finland’s values of sustainability, safety, and practicality, the AION V delivers a well-balanced blend of performance and convenience. Its five-star Euro NCAP safety rating confirms its engineering excellence, while its 510-kilometer WLTP range and rapid charging capabilities help eliminate range anxiety, supported by Finland’s robust charging infrastructure.

The SUV’s 2,775-mm wheelbase and 427-liter trunk capacity provide generous space for families and outdoor enthusiasts alike. With comprehensive warranty coverage—eight years or up to 200,000 kilometers for the battery—GAC further enhances long-term value and ownership confidence.

Since unveiling its European Market Plan at the 2024 Paris Motor Show, GAC has rapidly entered Poland, Portugal, and now Finland, with ambitions to achieve full European coverage by 2028. The company continues to invest in channel development, service improvements, and industrial chain integration to strengthen its regional operations.

Through its expanding vehicle lineup and strengthened partnerships, GAC is positioning itself as a formidable contender in the European EV market, offering drivers across the continent high-value, technologically advanced mobility solutions that help shape the future of sustainable transportation.
