Shanghai (Gasgoo)- On the evening of October 24, 2025, GAC Group hosted a high-profile brand launch event in George Town, the capital of the Cayman Islands—one of the world's leading financial hubs. Under the theme "Experience the Future of Driving," the event showcased GAC's confidence and ambition as it accelerates its global expansion strategy.
The event marks a significant step forward in GAC's globalization drive. The Cayman Islands, located in the northwest Caribbean, comprise Grand Cayman, Little Cayman, and Cayman Brac, with a population of around 76,000 and an area of 264 square kilometers. Known as the world's fourth-largest offshore financial center—after New York, London, and Hong Kong—the territory hosts over 700 international banks, 800 insurance firms, and nearly 10,000 hedge funds, including institutions such as Bank of China, HSBC, CIBC First Caribbean International Bank, RBC Royal Bank, Bank of America, and JPMorgan Chase. Many major Chinese companies, including China Mobile, Sinopec, and CNPC, also have a presence there. With a per capita GDP of nearly US$97,700 in 2024 and a thriving tourism sector attracting over a million Western visitors annually, the Caymans serve as both a luxury destination and a strategic financial gateway. GAC's brand debut in this global hub is expected to deepen its ties with international capital markets.
At the launch, GAC showcased a lineup of its latest models, including the EMKOO, EMZOOM, the second-generation AION V, GS8, GS4 MAX, and EMPOW—vehicles that represent the company's evolving design language and technological maturity.
As one of the leading Chinese automakers expanding overseas, GAC has been steadily strengthening its presence across the Caribbean. In 2025 alone, the company has hosted brand launch events in the Bahamas, Saint Lucia, Barbados, and now the Cayman Islands. For the first ten months of this year, GAC's retail sales in the region have surged 858% year-on-year, while wholesale volumes have also soared 623% from a year ago, underscoring its rapid market momentum.
GAC stated that it plans to leverage the Cayman Islands' financial strengths and global connectivity to further expand into emerging markets across the Americas. The company reaffirmed its commitment to becoming a benchmark brand in the field of intelligent mobility worldwide.
