GAC has reached a major milestone in its journey in South Africa with the grand opening of its flagship dealership in Bryanston, Johannesburg. The exclusive event, which was attended by approximately 100 distinguished guests, including customers, media representatives, potential buyers, and business partners, marked the brand’s strong commitment to both local engagement and the South African market.
The opening ceremony was highlighted by a captivating performance from the Nan Hua Performing Arts Group, who blended traditional Chinese cultural elements with South African artistry. The performance, which resonated deeply with the audience, reflected GAC’s dedication to bridging cultural gaps and fostering a sense of community. This cultural fusion symbolized the brand’s vision to integrate into South Africa while contributing to the nation’s cultural diversity.
The new dealership, located in the upscale Bryanston area, is a state-of-the-art facility designed to provide a top-tier automotive experience. Managed by Salvador Caetano South Africa, the official distributor of GAC vehicles in the country, the dealership is equipped to offer a wide array of vehicles from GAC’s overseas right-hand-drive (RHD) lineup. This includes the highly anticipated EMKOO and EMZOOM models, which have become major attractions due to their innovative design, performance, and technology.
The EMKOO, with its cutting-edge design and advanced technology, is positioned to compete strongly in the subcompact SUV segment. It offers a seamless blend of modern aesthetics, practicality, and comfort, appealing to a broad range of consumers looking for a versatile vehicle. On the other hand, the EMZOOM is designed with young, dynamic drivers in mind, offering an exciting combination of style and efficiency. Its sleek look and modern features make it a perfect choice for those who prioritize performance, fuel efficiency, and the latest automotive technologies.
Both the EMKOO and EMZOOM embody GAC’s commitment to producing high-quality vehicles that combine global innovation with a deep understanding of local market needs. These models not only highlight the brand’s global reach but also underscore its determination to offer vehicles that align with the preferences and expectations of South African consumers.
The dealership is not just about offering new vehicles but also about providing comprehensive after-sales services. The facility houses a dedicated service center, where customers can access maintenance services, repairs, and genuine GAC parts. This after-sales experience is designed to ensure that customers enjoy their vehicles for years to come, with top-notch support at every stage of ownership.
Additionally, the dealership offers personalized test drives and interactive vehicle demonstrations, allowing potential customers to explore GAC’s offerings in-depth. Every interaction at the Bryanston dealership is guided by a highly trained team, committed to delivering an exceptional and informative experience for all visitors.
Chris Van Der Merwe, Dealer Principal of the Bryanston dealership, expressed his enthusiasm about the opening. He remarked, “We are confident this facility will redefine the automotive buying experience in South Africa. Our goal is not just to sell cars, but to create lasting relationships with our customers, built on trust and exceptional service.”
GAC South Africa is also setting new standards for customer satisfaction with its industry-leading Lifetime Warranty. This groundbreaking warranty covers all vehicles with no restrictions on mileage or years, offering unparalleled peace of mind to customers and setting a new benchmark for customer assurance in the automotive industry.
“Integrating into South Africa, contributing to South Africa,” is the central message GAC embraces as it expands its presence in the country. The opening of the Bryanston dealership is a key part of the brand’s strategy to strengthen its footprint in South Africa and throughout the African continent. By combining GAC’s global automotive excellence with locally tailored solutions, the brand aims to build lasting relationships with South African customers, delivering a superior ownership experience that aligns with the needs of the market.
GAC’s new dealership in Bryanston is more than just a retail space; it represents the brand’s commitment to innovation, reliability, and customer satisfaction. It solidifies GAC’s position as a prominent player in South Africa’s automotive sector, providing a glimpse into the company’s future plans for further growth and expansion in the region.
