Guangzhou, China – November 2, 2026 – On 15 October, the 140th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) kicked off in Guangzhou. Dubbed “China’s No.1 Exhibition” with a 70‑year history, it serves as a vital window for global merchants to understand China, and one of GAC Group’s key stages to connect with the world. Having made its debut in 2012, GAC has participated in the fair 30 times to date. Together with the Canton Fair, it has witnessed the transformation of Made‑in‑China products into Chinese global brands.
This year at the fair, GAC brought multiple models including the GAC XT80, GS7, AION i60, AION N60, AISTALAND GX7 and AISTALAND GT7, alongside its energy‑ecology achievements. Several models were also presented at the Canton Fair Music & Cuisine Festival, bringing Lingnan culture and smart mobility to global business guests.
This year, GAC devised an innovative approach: bringing its offerings to dining venues as well as outdoor wilderness spaces. At the core zone of the Music & Cuisine Festival, GAC built three immersive experience spaces: Smart Mobility · Wilderness Station, Smart Joy · Green Pitch, and AISTALAND · Craft Journey. These venues combine smart mobility, Cantonese cuisine, outdoor camping and sports‑themed interaction into one premium‑lifestyle destination. Four models — the XT80, AION N60, GS7 and AISTALAND GT7 — serve as multi‑purpose lifestyle carriers. The crowd‑favourite Smart Mobility · Wilderness Station illustrates the XT80’s dual‑use capability for city and off‑road scenarios. Trunk‑mounted coffee bars, camping set‑ups and vehicle external power supply are arranged alongside the vehicle, turning it into a home‑away‑from‑home deep in nature. When guests sit inside the XT80, they can easily picture weekend trips with tents and barbecues, fully immersed in the harmonious human‑vehicle lifestyle.
Seventy years of the Canton Fair and thirty participations in, GAC brings far more than exhibition vehicles to the event. It demonstrates a new paradigm of system‑driven global expansion that integrates technology, products, ecosystems and cultural exchange.
