GUANGZHOU, China, Oct. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On October 25, GAC announced the launch of its hybrid flagship E9 in Hong Kong. Unveiled at Harbour City’s Ocean Terminal, with a direct view of the city’s iconic cityscape, the launch set the tone for GAC’s positioning of the E9 as a trendsetter in the premium automotive market. Hong Kong’s top automotive reviewers, media, and influencers joined to celebrate the milestone.
“Hong Kong is not only a vital market for us but also a strategic launchpad for our growth in the Asia-Pacific region,” said Wei Haigang, President of GAC International at the launch. “We are here to bring high-quality, eco-friendly vehicles that resonate with local consumer demands and lifestyles.”
Hong Kong is one of the most MPV-friendly markets in Asia, with over 55% of vehicle sales in 2023 attributed to MPVs. With many families relying on large vehicles to accommodate household members and domestic helpers, the E9 offers a tailored solution that merges comfort, space, and sustainability. Inside, the MPV offers a suite of luxury features designed for comfort and convenience. Passengers are treated to semi-aniline leather seats and high-quality suede trim. The second and third rows come equipped with ultra-long sliding rails, allowing for customizable seating arrangements.
In terms of power performance, the E9 is equipped with the industry’s best 2.0T intelligent electric hybrid system, boasting the strongest high-speed power in its class, with an acceleration from 60 to 100 km/h in just 3.83 seconds. For long-distance driving, the E9 can switch to hybrid mode, achieving an impressive maximum range of 1,032 kilometers on a full charge and tank, effectively eliminating range anxiety.
