Guangzhou-based automaker GAC Motor will return to the 2018 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit with its entire lineup and several new vehicles, after showing off a limited number of vehicles at the show in recent years.

GAC Motor will be displaying its new MPV GM8 minivan, the seven-seat SUV GS8, the GA8 luxury sedan, and an electric concept car targeting the next generation of U.S. drivers.

The company has established sales and services networks in 14 countries supported by key global suppliers, covering the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, Africa, and North America.
