GAC Sets November Australia Launch With Aion V EV, Emzoom SUV, M8 PHEV

Overview

• GAC confirmed a November 2025 market entry and issued a statement from its Australian deputy general manager welcoming the launch.
• The initial lineup comprises the Aion V electric mid-size SUV, the petrol-powered Emzoom small SUV, and the M8 plug-in hybrid seven-seat people-mover.
• Drive reports the Aion V offered in other right-hand-drive markets uses a 75kWh battery with a claimed WLTP range of 485km, while GoAuto cites a 75kWh LFP pack and up to 510km WLTP on GAC’s local site, pending Australian confirmation.
• Overseas specifications list the Emzoom with a 1.5-litre turbo four (about 130kW) and a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, a configuration positioned for Australia’s strong small-SUV demand, according to Torquecafe’s analysis.
• Drive cites a combined 274kW/630Nm output overseas for the M8 PHEV, though GoAuto details focus on a 2.0-litre turbo engine with electric assistance, with final Australian specs, pricing, and dealer rollout to be announced closer to launch.
