Chinese SUV GAC GS5 will return to the Russian market by April

According to official sources, the GAC GS5 SUV will appear in dealerships of the Russian Federation in April of this year. However, the prices for a crossover that is not very popular in Russia will be rewritten in accordance with the new course, and not in the best direction for buyers.


The car went on sale in Russia in September of the year before last. The Chinese company did not expect great demand and therefore cars simply ended in 2021. Since then, the concern has not imported the model from China to Russia, but it is expected that in April, it seems, the situation will change. The press service of the branch noted that GAC Motor has not left and does not intend to leave the Russian car market. The representative of the concern Anna Bovan said that the Russians said goodbye to the GS5 early and there are no reasons to stop selling the model.

This car from China can hardly be called widespread. In Russia, it was purchased by 177 people. The bulk of sales came in the first nine months of last year. By October, not a single vehicle had been sold. At the same time, the car was positioned as a competitor to Toyota RAV4, Kia Sportage. Instead of a crossover, the company hurried to promote its flagship GS8 model, and with it the GN8 minivan.
