GUANGZHOU, China, Aug. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Middle East region is a key overseas market for GAC MOTOR, as they expand according to the GAC Group international development strategy.

Kuwait has one of the highest rates of car ownership per capita in the entire MENA region, with cheap fuel costs and particularly strong demand for larger vehicles like the GS8. GAC MOTOR, with 8 consecutive annual wins in the JD Power awards for quality, is well poised to provide top-tier vehicles to this discerning market.

Key Models for the Middle East

Bestselling models tailored to the Middle East market include the GS3, GS5 and GS8.

The GS3 is GAC MOTOR's popular, versatile car, which won the hearts of many Middle Eastern consumers with its stylish modern appearance, five-star safety features and comfortable, family-friendly cabin.

The larger GS5 has also seen great success with buyers in the region, owing to its larger SUV appearance, sophisticated LED lights and dynamic, sweeping shoulder design.

Another regional favorite has been the large and powerful GS8, GAC MOTOR's flagship SUV. The GS8 is the big brother of the GS5, with larger dimensions, an extra 10L of space in the fuel tank, and 80Nm more torque.
