GAC’s new iGLCA intelligent light commercial vehicle segment—MIRACO Motor—also made its official debut at GAC TECH DAY 2024 with the release of its flagship model “MiraLounge”. Primarily designed for passenger transport services, the vehicle allows for the separation of cabin and driving compartment to achieve a multi-model derivation through “MiraBoard 2.0” technology. The vehicle supports L2 to L4 level intelligent driving and is scheduled to hit the market in the fourth quarter of 2024.
The event also marked the launch of the Welfare Edition of E9, GAC’s luxury PHEV MPV. The new version of the 7-seater caters to users with mobility challenges with its unique detachable electric seat.
