On July 16, GAC Group held a gratitude ceremony for 30 million users at the GAC Trumpchi factory. Themed "30 Million Trust, Walking Together with Quality," this event not only witnessed the historic milestone of GAC's total vehicle production exceeding 30 million units, but also fully displayed the complete growth context of this automaker that has been deeply cultivated in the automotive industry for 29 years, from joint venture factory establishment to independent breakthrough, from leading in fuel vehicles to new energy transformation, from立足 domestic to global markets. Government authorities, automotive industry associations, upstream and downstream supply chains, domestic and foreign vehicle owners, and media representatives gathered onsite to witness the highlight node belonging to China's automotive industry.

30 Million Vehicle Deliveries: Behind the Numbers, A Time Microcosm of Chinese Automakers' Transformation

From the first vehicle rolling off the line to the formal delivery of the 30 millionth unit, GAC has traversed 29 years. The heavy figure of 30 million vehicles is not merely a sales scale symbol, but a superposition of multi-layered value. This delivery is highly symbolic: vehicles rolled off the production line simultaneously at multiple global bases, including GAC Honda P7, Toyota Platinum 7, Qijing GT7, AION N60, and Hyper S600 five new energy models. As the 29,999,995th to 29,999,999th vehicles, the 30 millionth vehicle that closed the event was the right-hand drive Trumpchi M8 PHEV, delivered specifically to famous Thai owner Tony Jaa. The entire line's rolled-off vehicles were exclusively new energy products, directly confirming GAC's comprehensive electrification and intelligence transformation rhythm, and also sending a clear signal of the brand digging deep into overseas right-hand drive markets and exerting effort in global new energy layout.

In my opinion, this delivery design hides two industry trends: Firstly, new energy vehicles have become the absolute main force of GAC's production and sales growth; fuel vehicles and joint venture models are no longer the growth baseline. Secondly, the overseas market has become GAC's new growth curve. Delivering right-hand drive MPV models to overseas owners indicates that independent brand high-end new energy models have the competitiveness to go global, shedding the stereotypical labels of low-price exports in the past.

Market data also confirms the transformation results: In the first half of 2026, GAC sold a cumulative 773,100 vehicles, a slight year-over-year increase of 2.35%; the new energy segment showed strong explosive growth, with sales increasing by 68.8% year-over-year; overseas exports exceeded 120,000 units, an increase of up to 132%. Under the dual pressure of domestic market price war involution and intensified overseas trade barriers, GAC achieved synchronized growth in sales, new energy, and exports, which is sufficient to prove the feasibility of the "Electrification + Globalization" dual strategy, providing a reference development model for other domestic automakers.

Quality Bottom Line Unwavering: Full-chain Control Strengthens 30 Million User Trust Foundation

At the event site, GAC Group Chairman Feng Xingya clearly stated: Quality is GAC's core bottom line that will not compromise. After nearly thirty years of accumulation, GAC integrated Honda TQM Total Quality Management and Toyota TPS Lean Production models, combined with local Lingnan pragmatic culture, to create a unique "Integration and Innovation" quality management system, running reliable experience through the vehicle R&D, manufacturing, and delivery full process.

Before GAC new cars hit the market, they must complete "Five Highs, One Mountain, One Dust" extreme environment tests, experiencing two winters and one summer of on-site road trials; the whole vehicle laboratory covers 12 major categories and over 1,500 verification items. Any component or whole vehicle performance defects will be intercepted before mass production. As the world's first new energy vehicle lighthouse factory, GAC AION Smart Factory relies on digital and automated production lines to achieve stable and unified quality of mass production models, reducing quality control fluctuations from the manufacturing end.

At the same time, GAC self-developed Xingling Safety Guard System, building four protective dimensions of intelligent chassis, active and passive safety, intelligent driving assistance, and battery safety. Eight core systems adopt dual redundancy design, cumulatively avoiding 6.28 million potential driving risks for nearly 2 million owners; the self-developed Magazine Battery installation volume exceeded 1.5 million units, with safe driving mileage exceeding 160 billion kilometers, solving the pain point of battery safety that new energy users worry about most at the bottom layer. At the same time, the industry's first independent brand "Three Responsibilities" policy was launched, proactively backing the two core user concerns of batteries and intelligent driving assistance, implementing safety commitments to the after-sales level.

In my opinion, many automakers currently place their promotional focus on surface selling points such as intelligent cockpits and acceleration performance, while weakening basic quality control and safety investment. GAC's adherence to the "Quality Priority Over Scale" idea precisely captures the essence of the automotive industry: cars, as high-frequency usage bulk travel tools, safety and durability are the core logic for users to choose brands long-term, and also the core competitiveness for GAC to accumulate 30 million users.

Centered on Users: Full-cycle Service System, Connecting Pain Points of the Entire Driving Link

"People as the Foundation, Trust as the Path, Innovation as the Priority" is the corporate philosophy that GAC has long adhered to. Implemented at the operational level, it is a complete user service ecosystem covering pre-sales, usage, after-sales, replenishment, and feedback.

Firstly, at the user level, normalize "Users Full Mic Open" offline symposiums, inviting owners to walk into the corporate headquarters to give suggestions face-to-face, with a closed-loop rectification mechanism. User-reflecting personalized needs and batch common issues can be quickly implemented and optimized; a user insight department was specially established to guarantee user requests have a response from the organizational structure level, truly achieving user needs to drive product iteration in reverse.

While in the channel end, accelerate the sinking of county markets. In this year, it is planned to add 1,000 county-authorized stores to solve the inconvenience of maintenance and car buying for owners in third and fourth-tier cities and towns; online launch of "Super Butler" service, 5-second quick response to consultation, 2 hours to complete user requests, greatly compressing after-sales waiting time.

At the same time, in the construction of energy replenishment networks, GAC Energy built a "9 Verticals 10 Horizontals" national charging network. As of June 2026, 2,099 charging stations and 27,107 charging piles have been built, including over 20,000 supercharging piles, covering 31 provinces and 213 cities nationwide. Core urban areas achieve guaranteed charging stations within 1 kilometer linear distance. With 386 V2C bidirectional charging piles, it connects car, power grid, and home energy interconnection scenarios, directly hitting the industry pain points of new energy owners facing difficulty and slow charging in replenishment.

To reward 30 million owners for their long-term companionship, GAC simultaneously launched the 30 Million Roll-off・Renewal Gratitude Season event. The event cycle continues until the end of August. Under GAC Honda, GAC Toyota, Trumpchi, AION, Hyper, and Qijing six passenger car brands simultaneously launch special policies for new purchases, trade-ins, and additional purchases, converting user trust into tangible car-buying benefits and completing a two-way feedback between brand and users.

Tech Driven Long-term Growth: Full-domain Technology Layout, Rushing towards Smart Green New Track

30 million is the milestone of GAC's development, and also a new starting line. Relying on accumulated R&D investment exceeding 62 billion yuan and a global R&D team of 6,800 people, GAC continues to attack in three core tracks of power, battery-electric-drive, and intelligent connectivity, building long-term competitive barriers with self-developed technology.

In terms of power, the Xingyuan Power Platform built by the National Distinguished Engineer team includes three technical routes: Xingyuan Range Extender, Xingyuan Plug-in Hybrid, and Xingyuan Super Twin, balancing diverse driving needs such as no range anxiety, low energy consumption, and gas-electricity consideration. The full power system passed 100,000 hours of bench testing and equivalent over 10 million kilometers of whole vehicle verification, guaranteeing stable power in complex road conditions and extreme climates, solving the common problem of insufficient durability of current hybrid models.

In terms of battery-electric-drive technology, GAC focuses on battery low-temperature attenuation and fast charging speed shortcomings, building a full solid-state battery pilot production line; the self-developed Quark Electric Drive Motor efficiency breaks 99%, reaching top industry levels, reducing power consumption and increasing range from the core component level, and improving new energy product competitiveness from the bottom layer.

Additionally, the upgraded Xingling Electronic Architecture serves as the whole vehicle "Super Brain", connecting six systems of intelligent driving, cockpit, power, and chassis, improving whole vehicle comprehensive performance by 40%; supporting Galaxy Smart Cockpit to achieve end-cloud synergy, allowing vehicles to possess autonomous perception, learning, and interaction capabilities. At the same time, GAC collaborates with leading enterprises such as Huawei, CATL, Tencent, and Alibaba to build an intelligent car ecosystem, filling the software and ecosystem shortcomings outside of self-developed.

Objectively speaking, domestic new energy automakers are divided into two routes: some enterprises focus on short-term stacking of intelligent configuration, while others like GAC dig deep into underlying power, battery-electric-drive, and whole vehicle architecture core technology. In the short term, the former has stronger marketing effects, but in the long term, underlying self-developed technology is the moat for brands to pass through the industry cycle. GAC's layout of continuous high R&D investment will gradually release technical dividends in the next 3-5 years.

Conclusion

29 years of deep cultivation, 30 million units of user trust, is the best answer sheet for GAC to stick to quality, embrace change, and deepen users. Standing at a new starting point, GAC takes self-developed technology as the core, user needs as the orientation, and globalization as the development path, accelerating the transformation into an ecosystem technology enterprise. In the critical stage where China's automotive industry shifts from "scale up" to "value strengthen", GAC's development practice proves: only by holding the quality bottom line, continuous technological innovation, and truly centering on users can one stand firm in fierce industry competition and drive towards a new travel era that is more intelligent, green, and global.

On July 16, the GAC Group 30 Million User Gratitude Gala grandly commenced at the GAC Trumpchi plant.

In the domestic automotive market, achieving a production and sales scale of 30 million is by no means an easy task for a car company. Links such as brand building, reputation accumulation, quality control, and product polishing are all indispensable.

On July 16, the GAC Group 30 Million User Gratitude Ceremony kicked off grandly at the GAC Trumpchi factory. From the first complete vehicle officially rolling off the line to the smooth delivery of the 30 millionth car, GAC has moved forward steadily in 29 years of hard work and struggle. This milestone number not only highlights GAC's excellent product strength, but also embodies the group's bold courage to face the transformation of the automotive market, as well as the firm trust and support of the vast majority of users for the brand.

From the 29,999,995th to the 29,999,999th vehicle, the full brand lineup under GAC appeared on the scene. GAC Honda P7, GAC Toyota bZ7, Qijing GT7, GAC AION N60, and GAC Hyper S600 gathered on site, fully presenting the bright answers given by GAC on the new energy track.

This milestone 30 millionth complete vehicle is the right-hand drive version of GAC Trumpchi M8 PHEV, and its owner is the well-known Thai kung fu star Tony Jaa. This fact fully shows that the models under GAC are not only favored by users domestically, but even when sold far overseas, the excellent strength of Made in China has also won the heartfelt praise of overseas users.

Quality is the core bottom line that GAC adheres to and never retreats. In the summary speech session, Feng Xingya emphasized that GAC Group has always firmly practiced the development creed of 'Quality First' for a long time. On the production front line, workshop colleagues carve every detail with an attitude of striving for perfection; at the same time, the GAC powertrain independent R&D team, which has won the title of 'National Excellent Engineering Team', closely fits the diverse needs of consumers at different stages, and makes full efforts to break through technical barriers to present excellent powertrain solutions for users. In addition, the GAC styling design team also put in all efforts, created classic models such as Trumpchi GS8, Trumpchi M8, and Hyper SSR, which continue to receive widespread praise for their outstanding image. These are all vivid footnotes to GAC quality.

In the whole process of R&D and manufacturing, GAC has carefully built a strict and complete quality control system: every new car must undergo strict extreme environmental tests such as high cold, high temperature, high altitude, high humidity, high corrosion, and mountainous areas, sand and dust, etc., known as 'Five Highs, One Mountain, One Dust' before being officially launched to the market, and successfully complete the 'Two Winters One Summer' on-site road test; relying on test grounds and laboratories, the whole vehicle undergoes comprehensive systematic quality verification covering 12 major items and over 1500 verification sub-items; GAC AION Smart Ecosystem Factory has won the title of 'Global First New Energy Vehicle Lighthouse Factory', and relies on a digital intelligent manufacturing system to build a solid foundation for the stability of mass production quality.

It has provided solid protection for nearly 2 million users so far, successfully resolving 6.28 million potential travel hazards; The Prism Battery has achieved installation on 1.5 million vehicles, and the safe driving mileage has broken through the 160 billion kilometer milestone; on the service guarantee level, GAC has also continued to exert efforts, becoming the first in the industry to launch the 'Three Responsibilities' measure for independent brands, proactively taking responsibility for battery and intelligent driving assistance problems that users are concerned about, effectively eliminating users' concerns about using vehicles.

It is indeed the case that consumers have firmly chosen GAC models with real financial investment: In the first half of this year, GAC Group's overall sales reached 773,100 vehicles, achieving a 2.35% growth compared to the same period last year, and the new energy vehicle sector sales soared 68.8% year-on-year; meanwhile, the export volume of overseas markets successfully broke through 120,000 vehicles, with a year-on-year increase as high as 132%.

At this key node where GAC Group reached the milestone of 30 million vehicle deliveries, from July 16 to August 31, GAC Group coordinated with its six sub-brands to heavily launch refreshed exclusive rights. From diverse car purchase benefits, thoughtful financial services, convenient trade-in policies to thoughtful after-sales treatment, all-roundly repaying the vast number of users. GAC products holding the quality original intention will surely win more users' trust and support, gathering an increasingly solid user group.

July 16, GAC Group held a grand 30-million-user gratitude ceremony at the GAC Trumpchi factory. As the Right-Hand Drive Trumpchi M8 PHEV slowly drove off the production line, GAC officially reached the milestone of cumulative vehicle production and sales of 30 million units. This gathering of government leaders, industry experts, domestic and foreign owners, and R&D craftsmen is not only an important milestone in GAC's 29-year development but also a vivid footnote to the high-quality, globalized advancement of China's automotive industry.

Surpassing 29 Years to Achieve "GAC Speed"

In 1997, GAC started amidst industry skepticism, following a characteristic path of "small-scale start, rolling development", submitting an outstanding growth report: it took 20 years from 0 to 10 million units, while the second 20 million units were completed in just 9 years. This unique development rhythm was called "GAC Speed" by the industry. This delivery ceremony broke the convention of single model delivery. Global multiple factories connected in real-time. GAC Honda P7, Toyota BZ7, Aion N60, Hyper S600, and Enjoing GT7 five new energy models completed the delivery of the 29,999,995th to 29,999,999th vehicles sequentially. Finally, the Right-Hand Drive Trumpchi M8 PHEV made a heavy debut as the 30 millionth vehicle. The product selection for overseas markets intuitively reflects GAC's global layout results.

At the event, GAC Group Chairman Feng Xingya handed the 30-million-unit commemorative car key to Thailand owner Tony Jaa. This delivery across borders is a warm microcosm of the two-way rush between global 30 million users and the brand. Data proves market recognition: First half of 2026 GAC cumulative sales reached 773,100 units, up 2.35% year-on-year; Independent brand sales were 346,000 units, up 35.69%; Overseas exports were 121,500 units, skyrocketing 132% year-on-year. The overseas market has already become a new growth curve.

Building a Foundation with Ultimate Quality

"Quality is the bottom line GAC will never retreat," Feng Xingya emphasized in his speech. Over 29 years, GAC integrated Honda TQM and Toyota Lean Management models to build a quality system covering R&D, testing, manufacturing, and after-sales full links, undertaking 30 million user trusts with strict standards.

At the vehicle validation level, all new cars must complete the full "Two Winters One Summer" cycle test, undergoing extreme environment assessments like Turpan high temperatures, Hulunbuir extreme cold, high altitudes, sand, and salt fog ("Five Highs One Mountain One Dust" limit environment), accumulating equivalent test mileage of over 13 million kilometers; Globally leading vehicle wind tunnels, the first domestic low-altitude comprehensive test field, comprehensively polish energy consumption, quietness, and intelligent driving performance. On the manufacturing end, Aion's global first new energy lighthouse factory achieves millimeter-level quality control with over 600 industrial robots and AI visual inspection, with data of thousands of body fastening points traceable for life.

Safety technology builds a solid barrier: Xingling Safety Protection System eight systems dual redundancy design, cumulatively avoiding 6.28 million potential accidents; Danxia battery installed in 1.5 million vehicles, safe driving over 160 billion kilometers with no large-scale safety hazards. Industry-first "Three Responsibilities" service commitment, fully backing up the three user pain points of three-electric self-ignition, battery degradation, and intelligent parking accidents, extending quality assurance to the full vehicle use lifecycle. Relying on solid strength, GAC won the China Quality Award nomination sequentially, and many models lead the sub-segment retention value list for years.

Connecting All Scenarios with Full-Domain Services

Relying on "Panyu Action" deep reform, GAC completed the thorough iteration from engineer thinking to user thinking, putting user needs in the core position of product development and service upgrades. Regularly hold "User All Open Mic" offline communication meetings, R&D and product managers face owners pain points directly, establish closed-loop processing mechanism for appeals; simultaneously build user co-creation system, invite owners to participate in model planning and test iterations, making products truly fit public needs.

Service network continues to sink and fill: As of June, nationally recognized 600 county-level comprehensive service centers, planned to expand to 1000 within the year; Energy side builds "9 Vertical 10 Horizontal" national recharging network, covering 213 cities, self-operated charging piles over 27,000, core urban areas straight 1 kilometer away can find charging stations; Online 24-hour "Super Butler" 5 seconds response, 2 hours handle appeals, completely solving user after-sales, recharging, maintenance various anxieties.

Three Layers of Car Buying Benefits to Return 10 Million Trust

To thank global owners for long-term companionship, July 16 to August 31, GAC's six passenger car brands simultaneously launch the "30 Million Units Renewal Gratitude Season", three layers of heavy benefits cover full range new purchase, trade-in, and added purchase crowds:

First layer new purchase carnival, all series main models launch 5,000 yuan to 50,000 yuan different car purchase subsidies, multiple models enjoy 3-year 80,000 yuan 0% interest financial scheme, fuel, hybrid, pure electric, extended range fully covered;

Second layer trade-in plus, GAC old owners trading Trumpchi, Hyper, Enjoing models can superimpose exclusive family subsidies;

Third layer added purchase exclusive benefits, family second car selecting Enjoing GT7 can enjoy custom rights, lowering the threshold for whole family travel upgrades.

Anchoring 2030 Global 1 Million Sales New Target

30 million production and sales milestone is also a new starting point for GAC's global development. Relying on "OneGAC 2.0" strategy, GAC achieved transition from product export to R&D, production, sales, supply, service full value chain overseas transformation, business covers Asia Pacific, Middle East, Europe, America five major blocks 110 countries, built 7 overseas factories, 746 sales outlets. Thailand market June sales month-on-month huge increase 207%, Europe localized production sales system steadily landed, multiple global models adapted 44 languages, meeting Euro 7 strict standards.

Looking forward, GAC set 2030 global blueprint: Business expanded to 120 countries, overseas outlets exceed 2000, annual overseas sales 1 million vehicles. Technology R&D continues to add, cumulative independent investment over 62 billion yuan, patent applications over 24,900 pieces, Xinyuan Power, Xingling 4.0 Architecture, Huawei Jointly Created Enjoing Intelligent Driving etc. core technologies continuously land, supporting global journey with independent innovation.

Adhering to Long-termism, Letting Users Never Settle

From joint venture start to independent rise, from domestic deep dive to global layout, GAC experienced four leap-forward developments, behind the 30 million user number is a warm story of millions of ordinary people and the brand growing together: 70-year-old Fit owner self-driving 5,000 kilometers, M8 car friends rushing to disaster area rescue, overseas owners crossing mountains and seas to choose GAC... countless real vehicle use moments, let cold production and sales numbers settle into warm brand assets.

Standing on a new starting point, GAC stated it will continue to adhere to long-termism, quality as root, user as root, innovation as wings, continuously polish all-domain products and services, deepen domestic market, accelerate global layout, rush to the next 30 million new journey, provide more safe, intelligent, diverse travel solutions for global users.

On July 16, engine sounds and applause intertwined inside the GAC Trumpchi plant. When a right-hand drive GAC Trumpchi M8 PHEV slowly rolled off the production line and the spotlight hit the car body, GAC Group officially announced that it had welcomed its 30 millionth user in its development history. This day, leaders from Guangdong Province, Guangzhou City, and Panyu District, Fu Bingfeng, Executive Vice President and Secretary-General of China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, Feng Xingya, Chairman of GAC Group, He Xianqing, General Manager, and other core management personnel, along with global suppliers, dealers, owners from home and abroad, and media representatives were all present to witness this historic snapshot defined as "from scale expansion to value leap".

From GAC's establishment in 1997 to the first whole vehicle rolling off the line, and to today's breakthrough of the 30 million level, GAC took 29 years. If we break down this timeline: from 0 to 10 million vehicles, it took 20 years; from 10 million to 30 million vehicles, it took only 9 years. This acceleration is not just the enterprise's own growth curve, but also a microcosm of the Chinese automobile industry from joint venture introduction, self-owned rise to global breakthrough. But beyond flowers and numbers, through this "30 Million User Gratitude Event", we can see more clearly a veteran automotive group's persistence and shift during the deep reshaping period of the industry.

The Significance of 30 Million: Not a Single Myth, but Matrix Synergy

There was a highly symbolic detail at the event site: GAC's multiple global production bases connected synchronously, GAC Honda P7, GAC Toyota BZ7, Qijing GT7, GAC Aion N60, GAC Hyper S600, respectively rolled off the line as vehicles numbered from 29,999,995 to 29,999,999, subsequently the 30 millionth whole vehicle — right-hand drive Trumpchi M8 PHEV appeared at the center of the stage. The full line of new energy vehicle matrix appeared collectively, which is not common in past milestone celebrations.

This arrangement reveals two signals: Firstly, GAC's 30 million volume does not rely on any "god car" or single sector to pull, but the result of joint ventures (GAC Honda, GAC Toyota), self-owned (Trumpchi, Aion, Hyper), new sequences (Qijing), and new energy transformation parallel lines; Secondly, the 30 millionth vehicle chose a right-hand drive plug-in hybrid MPV and was delivered to Thai owner Tony Jaa (famous movie star "Ong Bak" leading actor), clearly tying together the two main threads of "new energy transformation" and "globalization and going overseas". This is not only for domestic users to see, but also to convey confidence to the global market: GAC's product structure has thoroughly crossed the boundaries of the pure fuel era.

Data supports this shift. In the first half of 2026, GAC Group cumulative sales reached 773,100 vehicles, a year-on-year growth of 2.35%; among them, new energy vehicle sales reached 260,200 vehicles, a significant year-on-year increase of 68.8%, the proportion of energy-saving and new energy vehicle models has been raised to 62.82%; overseas exports also broke through 120,000 vehicles, a year-on-year growth of 132%, simultaneous high growth in five major regions: Americas, Asia-Pacific, Middle East, Africa, and Europe. Against the background of pressure on the industry overall market, new energy and going overseas have become GAC's dual engines to cross the cycle.

"Old-school Stubbornness" on the Quality Bottom Line: Slowing Down in a Fast Era

In the speech, one sentence by Feng Xingya was repeatedly quoted: "Quality is the bottom line GAC will never cede." "Some things can seek speed and newness, some things absolutely cannot seek quantity or strength." Today when intelligentization, price wars, and iteration speed are infinitely amplified, this statement seems somewhat "old-fashioned", but precisely it is the foundation behind the 30 million sales.

GAC's quality philosophy has its historical origins. As one of the earliest car enterprises in China to systematically introduce joint venture experience, GAC absorbed Honda's Total Quality Management (TQM) and Toyota's Lean Production Method (TPS) early on, then integrating Lingnan pragmatist culture, built an "Integration and Innovation" quality management model. This gene has been continued to independent R&D and manufacturing links: before each new car hits the market, it must undergo extreme environment tests such as "high cold, high heat, high altitude, high humidity, high corrosion, mountainous areas, sand and dust" known as "Five Highs, One Mountain, One Dust", complete "Two Winters, One Summer" field road tests; whole vehicle verification covers 12 major items and over 1,500 sub-items; GAC Aion Smart Ecological Factory as the world's first new energy vehicle "Lighthouse Factory", ensuring mass production consistency with digital intelligent manufacturing.

In safety technology, GAC proposed "Safety must be defined by automakers". Xingling Safety Protection System builds four major protection dimensions, eight key systems adopt dual redundancy design, has protected nearly 2 million users, avoided 6.28 million potential travel risks; Magazine Battery cumulative installation of 1.5 million vehicles, safe driving over 160 billion kilometers. Targeting user anxiety, GAC took the lead in the industry to launch the self-owned brand "Three Commitments" policy, actively underwriting for battery and intelligent driving assistance issues. These invisible investments constitute the implicit costs for the 30 million users to "drive with peace of mind".

From Engineer Thinking to User Thinking: The Turn of Organizational Mechanism

"In the past, we always stood from the engineer's perspective to polish technology, today we must completely stand from the user's perspective to examine experience." Feng Xingya summarized the 30 million moment with four words: "Gratitude, Persistence, Sincerity, Co-journey", among which "Sincerity" points directly to the reconstruction of user relationships.

This reconstruction is not a slogan. GAC regularly holds "User All Open Mic" events, inviting users to headquarters to "nitpick" face-to-face, and establish a full-process closed-loop management mechanism, ensuring every suggestion is traceable, common issues fully optimized; organizationally established a dedicated User Insight Department, promoting the full-process transformation from problem discovery to solution. Service network is also sinking: planned to add 1,000 county-level authorized stores this year, currently 600 recognized; online and offline "Super Butler" service, committed to 5-second response, 2-hour request handling; recharging end built "9 Verticals, 10 Horizontals" network, covering 31 provinces, 213 cities, self-operated charging piles over 27,000, in core urban areas a station must be within 1 km straight line. From the frontline where guns can be heard to backend mechanisms, GAC attempts to bring "people-oriented" down to executable details.

Long Slope and Thick Snow: From Commuting Tool to Ecosystem Tech

30 million is a milestone, and also a new starting point. On the electrification and intelligence tracks, GAC presents a systematic technology matrix rather than point breakthroughs:

Power Field: "National Excellent Engineer Team" developed Xingyuan Power covers Xingyuan Range Extender, Xingyuan Plug-in Hybrid, Xingyuan Super Twin three technologies, every product passed 100,000 hours bench and equivalent over 10 million kilometers verification;

Three Electrics Field: Completed all-solid-state battery pilot production line, Quark Electric Drive Motor maximum efficiency broke through 99%, tackling ultra-fast charging and low-range endurance pain points;

Intelligent Connectivity: Super Brain Xingling Architecture 4.0 connects intelligent driving, cockpit, powertrain, chassis, body, and vehicle networking six domains, comprehensive performance improved by 40%; Galaxy Smart Cockpit Terminal-Cloud Integrated, integrating Qianwen Large Model, letting cars evolve from commuting tools to "thinking partners";

Open Ecosystem: Co-building AI Intelligent Ecosystem with Huawei, CATL, Didi, Tencent, Alibaba, etc., cumulative R&D investment over 62 billion yuan, global R&D team over 6,800 people.

The direction of these technology investments is very clear: GAC aims to advance from traditional manufacturing enterprise to "Ecosystem Tech GAC", products will extend from mobile space to green energy ecosystem.

When Feng Xingya handed the 30 millionth vehicle key to Thai owner Tony Jaa, what the lens froze was not just a number, but the crossing-the-sea moment of Made in China from "sold out" to "trusted". 30 million users are a mirror, revealing GAC's 29 years of persistence and transformation, also revealing the exam question of the next stage: in the future of global competition, tech iteration, and user needs fragmentation, how to use the same quality determination and user sincerity to run the next 30 million well?

The answer might be written in the "GAC Group 30 Million Vehicle Rollout · Renewal Gratitude Season" launched that day — six major brands simultaneously launched new purchase, trade-in, and additional purchase feedback policies, responding to companionship with tangible benefits. But a longer-term answer than short-term feedback is hidden in those extreme environment test mileages, in Xingling Architecture's redundancy design, in county store signboards, and in every suggestion seriously handled after every "User All Open Mic".

30 million is not the end, but the next starting line of "mutual journey" between GAC and global users.

On July 16, as a right-hand drive GAC Trumpchi M8 PHEV slowly rolled off the production line, GAC Group officially reached the milestone of producing the 30 millionth vehicle. From the first vehicle rolling off the line to breaking through the 30 million mark, GAC has walked a 29-year development journey. This number is not just a scale report card for a car company, but also condenses the advanced process of China's automotive industry from joint venture beginnings, independent growth, to global breakthroughs in new energy.

In the current context of deep industry reshaping and continuous competition upgrading, GAC's 30 million moment combines the adherence to the original intention of manufacturing and future-oriented transformation layout, providing a referenceable practice path for high-quality development of Chinese car companies.

The underlying support for the 30 million scale is the long-term adherence to quality and safety. As one of the earliest car companies to carry out joint venture cooperation in China, GAC systematically absorbed Honda's total quality management and Toyota's lean production mature experiences in the early stage of development, combined with its own practice to integrate and innovate, forming a unique quality management system.

This quality gene runs through the entire chain from R&D to manufacturing: before each new car is launched, it must undergo extreme environment tests such as high cold, high heat, high altitude, etc., "Five Highs, One Mountain, One Dust", complete "Two Winters, One Summer" field road tests, covering thousands of vehicle verification sub-items; The production end, represented by GAC Aion Smart Ecology Factory, ensures stable mass production quality through digital intelligent manufacturing, becoming the world's first new energy vehicle lighthouse factory.

Safety technology and service protection are upgraded simultaneously, constituting the second line of defense for quality. Eight key systems of the Star Spirit Security Guardian System dual redundant design, Cumulative installation of 1.5 million vehicles, Safety mileage of Magazine Battery exceeds 160 billion kilometers, to the brand's "Three Responsibilities" policy launched first in the industry, forming a complete closed loop from technical foundation to service bottom line.

In the stage where China's car market shifts from incremental to stock, the core ruler of user selection is returning to the essence of products, GAC's 29-year accumulation of 30 million user trust is essentially holding the bottom line of "quality not surrendered" in manufacturing, which is also the core foundation of China's automotive industry growing from large to strong.

Another signal of this milestone ceremony is the comprehensive acceleration of GAC's electrification and intelligence transformation. The 29,999,995 to 29,999,999 vehicles revealed on site are all new energy models, covering GAC Honda, GAC Toyota, GAC Trumpchi, GAC Aion, GAC Hyper, and Jingqi Auto six brands; And as the 30 millionth right-hand drive Trumpchi M8 PHEV, ultimately delivered to the Thai owner's hands, links the two major trends of new energy transformation and global expansion together.

Data verifies the actual results of transformation: In the first half of this year, GAC Group's overall sales volume was 773,100 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 2.35%; among them, new energy vehicle sales increased significantly by 68.8% year-on-year, overseas exports broke through 120,000 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 132%. Against the background of the overall pressure in the fuel vehicle market, new energy and exports are becoming the dual engines driving growth. This growth is built on long-term R&D investment: As of now, GAC's cumulative R&D investment exceeds 62 billion yuan, global R&D team exceeds 6800 people.

From the three technical routes of Star Source Power, to the Quark Electric Drive with efficiency breakthrough exceeding 99%, to the completion of the semi-production line for all-solid-state batteries, and the continuous evolution of the Star Spirit architecture, technical reserves are gradually transforming into product competitiveness. Unlike some car companies' path of betting solely on independent new energy, GAC promotes the dual-line transformation of joint ventures and independents, forming a synergistic and complementary new energy matrix. Against the backdrop of joint venture car companies generally facing transformation pains, this model not only retains the quality and manufacturing advantages of the joint venture system, but also drives overall upgrades by leveraging the technical vitality of the independent sector, exploring a viable direction for joint venture brand electrification.

The accumulation of 30 million users further verifies the industry consensus of "User-Centric". Currently, the competition in the car market has long extended from the product end to the full lifecycle experience, and user operation capability has become an important component of the brand moat. GAC's practice focuses on the ends of mechanism and service: at the mechanism level, regularly hold "User Full Open Mic" face-to-face communication, establish demand full-process closed-loop management, and at the same time establish a dedicated user insight department to guarantee user voices reach the decision-making level from the organizational structure;

At the service network level, promote channel sinking to counties, plan to add 1000 county-level authorized stores within the year, launch "Super Butler" to achieve fast response, use efficiency to improve user experience. Aiming at the charging pain points of new energy users, GAC has built a "9 Verticals and 10 Horizontals" charging network, self-operated charging piles exceed 27,000, in core urban areas achieving "there must be a station within a straight 1 kilometer", using infrastructure perfection to dissolve user anxiety.

From "Selling Products" to "Operating Users" is the industry's general transformation direction, and GAC's practice shows that user operation is not marketing jargon, but needs to be implemented from the full chain of organization, channel to ecosystem. 30 million users are both an accumulation of past reputation and the starting point of the future user ecosystem — only by truly putting user demands in a core position can scale effects be transformed into continuous brand value.

Looking back from the node of 30 million vehicles, GAC's development trajectory is a microcosm of China's automotive industry upgrade: from learning advanced manufacturing experiences through joint ventures, to independently mastering core technologies to achieve lane-changing overtaking, to participating in global competition with new energy products.

In 29 years, Chinese car companies have completed the leap from chasing to running side-by-side, and then to leading in some fields. Behind the number of 30 million, is the era trend of the entire industry from scale expansion to value leap. 30 million is not the end, but the starting point of a new round of competition.

The current automotive industry is entering the deep water zone of intelligence, global market gaming is becoming increasingly intense, and the pressure of technical iteration and brand upwardness continues to exist. But it can be determined that holding firm to the quality foundation, persisting in technological innovation, and closely sticking to user needs are always the core logic for car companies to cross the cycle.

For the Chinese automotive industry, GAC's 30 million moment is not only a performance but also verifies simple industry laws: with users as anchors, quality as the base, and innovation as wings, one can walk steadily and far in industry changes and win more discourses in the global market.

On July 16, the GAC Group 30-Million User Gratitude Event was held at the GAC Trumpchi factory. Leaders from Guangdong Province, Guangzhou City, and Panyu District, Fu Bingfeng, Executive Vice President and Secretary-General of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, GAC Group Chairman Feng Xingya, General Manager Ge Xianqing, as well as industry partners, suppliers, dealer representatives, owners from home and abroad, employees, and media representatives attended together, witnessing the milestone moment when GAC welcomed its 30 millionth user.

[Guests Witness GAC's 30-Million User Milestone Moment]

From the first completed vehicle rolling off the line to the delivery of the 30 millionth vehicle, GAC has experienced 29 years of development. Behind the figure of 30 million lies the choice and trust of millions of users, GAC's determination to uphold quality and safety in the long term, the determination to transform towards electrification and intelligence, and also a microcosm of China's automotive industry growing from large to strong, from scale expansion to value leap.

Global Sync: Intelligent New Energy Matrix Highlights Transformation Progress

At the event site, GAC's global multi-site production bases were connected synchronously. GAC Honda P7, GAC Toyota BZ7, Enlight GT7, GAC Aion N60, GAC Hyper S600 respectively rolled off the line sequentially as GAC's 29,999,995th to 29,999,999th vehicles. Finally, the right-hand drive version of GAC Trumpchi M8 PHEV made a shining debut on the event stage as the 30 millionth vehicle. The collective appearance of the full-line new energy vehicle off-line matrix became a direct confirmation of GAC's fast push towards electrification and intelligence transformation.

This trust spanning mountains and seas is exactly the confidence of GAC breaking through in the industry changes. In the first half of this year, GAC Group sales were 773,100 vehicles, a year-on-year growth of 2.35%, among which new energy vehicle sales grew 68.8% year-on-year; overseas exports broke through 120,000 vehicles, a year-on-year surge of 132%, running out a steady pace during the industry's deep reshaping period.

Quality as Foundation: Strengthening the Confidence of 10 Million Users for Travel

"Quality is the bottom line GAC will never compromise on." Feng Xingya stated in the concluding speech. In GAC's development, scale growth has always been based on quality. For many years, GAC Group has always adhered to the concept of "Quality First", integrating Honda Total Quality Management (TQM), Toyota Production System (TPS), and Lingnan culture, building a quality management model centered on "Integration and Innovation". The landing point of everything is to build cars that users feel confident driving, worry-free using, and comfortable sitting in.

It is precisely these lines of safety defense and a series of service promises that support the brand confidence behind GAC's 30 million sales.

User-Oriented: Building a Warm Service System for the Full Lifecycle

"What users care about, we keep in our heart; what users expect, we go all out." Feng Xingya stated, this user-centric concept has long been deeply integrated into GAC Group's development gene. For many years, GAC Group has always adhered to the corporate concept of "People-oriented, Trust as Way, Innovation First", where the core meaning of "People-oriented" is being user-centric.

[GAC "User All Open Mic" Event Site]

On one hand, to face problems directly and listen to user voices, GAC holds the "User All Open Mic" activity regularly, inviting users to "home", communicating face-to-face. At the same time, establishing a full-process closed-loop management mechanism to ensure every suggestion can be properly handled, common issues optimized for all users immediately.

In addition, GAC also established an exclusive user insight department, promoted full-process change from problem discovery to solution, guaranteeing user demands have response in every matter from organizational mechanism, and every matter has a result.

On the other hand, service network synchronization accelerates penetration. On the channel side, promoting service network sinking to counties, planning to add construction of 1,000 county authorized stores this year; on the response side, launching "Super Butler" service, achieving 5-second response, 2-hour request completion, guaranteeing user demands reach direct fast handling. On the refueling side, building "9 Vertical 10 Horizontal" refueling network, already covering 31 provinces, 213 cities nationwide, core urban areas achieving "Straight 1km there must be a station", self-operated charging piles number exceeds 27,000, among which supercharging piles break through 20,000, providing convenient refueling service for new energy vehicle owners.

"Quality is the bottom line that GAC will never compromise on."

This is the most memorable sentence I heard at GAC's 30 million units production milestone event.

Talking about quality in the auto industry is as commonplace as breathing air. But making the word 'Quality' the theme of a milestone event like the 30 million units production line in today's auto market still carries a significant weight.

In recent years, the price war in the auto circle has been fierce. Everyone is competing on who dares to cut prices more, who can compete more aggressively. Consumers seemingly get benefits, but there is an issue that is becoming harder to clarify:

Using a good screw, or saving one yuan, which is actually more cost-effective?

This question has no standard answer. But it is like a mirror, reflecting every car manufacturer's choice.

In the price war, quality is most easily sacrificed

Regarding price cuts, it sounds simple, but execution is full of details.

A car has tens of thousands of parts, each with a cost. To cut prices, you have to squeeze out of these parts. Use better materials, or cheaper substitutes? Do stricter tests, or skip a few processes? Use newer technology that won't be obsolete in the short term, or mature but cheaper solutions?

Consumers can't see these choices when buying a car. But after driving for three or five years, the gap appears.

Why are many new cars fine when just bought, but develop various small problems after a few years? It's not that the technology is lacking, but under cost pressure, many invisible areas were quietly downgraded.

Objectively speaking, this is not a problem for just one company, but a common situation in the entire industry. When the price war becomes the main theme, "good enough" becomes the subtext for many car companies.

So in such an environment, saying "quality is the bottom line" sounds like a slogan, but in practice, it goes against the industry trend.

Upholding quality means resisting cost pressure, means you can't cut prices as much as others, means short-term sales might be affected.

This requires determination.

GAC's quality is not just shouted out

GAC's quality genes were sown since the joint venture era.

Cooperating with Honda and Toyota for so many years, what we learned is not just technology, but a whole set of quality management methodologies. In practice, it is the standard for every part, the requirement for every process.

Before each new car hits the market, it must undergo extreme environment tests of "Five Highs, One Mountain, One Dust", and complete "Two Winters, One Summer" real-world road tests, with the entire verification process covering 12 major items and over 1,500 sub-items.

Many car companies also do these tests, but the extent and resources invested vary greatly. Doing one more round of tests costs more money and delays the market launch by several months. In the fast-paced auto market, time is sales.

Especially now that the industry launches an average of 3.8 new cars daily, maintaining determination is actually quite difficult.

But GAC's logic is: It's better to launch late than let users be guinea pigs.

From the first car off the line to the 30 millionth unit delivery, GAC took 29 years. This speed is not the fastest in the industry, but it's steady.

In the first half of this year, the industry faced overall pressure. GAC Group sales were 773,100 units, up 2.35% year-on-year; New energy vehicle sales increased by 68.8% year-on-year; Overseas exports exceeded 120,000 units, a significant 132% increase year-on-year.

In this period of deep market reshaping, maintaining such a pace truly requires support from quality reputation accumulated over many years.

The 30 millionth car was delivered to a Thai owner; quality is GAC's confidence for going global.

Quality is not a slogan, it's reputation

The most interesting thing about quality is: it's useless to say your quality is good yourself; it counts only when users say so.

Too many slogans become tiresome; only enough reputation commands respect.

GAC has done something in recent years that I think explains the problem well—"Users Speak Freely". Inviting users to the factory, giving opinions face-to-face, speaking directly about any problems without beating around the bush.

Many car companies also hold user events, but they are mostly carefully selected user sessions. Not many dare to let users speak freely and actually make changes.

GAC doesn't just hold events; it has also established a dedicated user insight department and a full-process closed-loop management mechanism. Every suggestion from users must have a response; common problems must be fully optimized.

The service side is also keeping up. "Super Butler" service, 5-second response, 2-hour request closure. The energy replenishment network covers 31 provinces and 213 cities, with over 27,000 self-operated charging piles.

These things, if mentioned separately, wouldn't seem earth-shattering. But combined, it sends a very clear signal:

GAC's quality is not just the quality of car manufacturing, but also the quality of service.

Selling a car is not the end; it is the beginning. For the few years users use the car, whether the experience is good is what truly starts determining reputation.

True high quality must be built up with technology

Many people's understanding of "quality" is still stuck at the level of "solid workmanship" and "generous materials".

But in today's new energy era, the definition of quality has changed. Is the battery safe? Is the electric drive efficient enough? Is intelligent driving reliable? Is the infotainment system easy to use—these experiences brought by new technologies are the qualities users perceive most directly.

And all of these must be built up through real R&D investment.

GAC's investment in this area is not high-profile, but the numbers are substantial: Cumulative R&D investment exceeds 62 billion yuan, global R&D team exceeds 6,800 people.

In the power domain, Xingyuan Power covers three technology routes: Extended Range, Plug-in Hybrid, and Super Hybrid. Each product must undergo 100,000 hours of bench and vehicle validation, equivalent to over 10 million kilometers.

In the three-electric domain, Quark Electric Drive motor highest efficiency broke through 99%, reaching industry peak levels; The all-solid-state battery pilot production line has been built.

These technical terms sound far from users, but ultimately land in users' daily experiences: more realistic range, faster charging, steadier driving, smoother infotainment.

Not technology for technology's sake, but using technology to win high quality.

Xingyuan Power technology is GAC's quality confidence in the new energy era.

After 30 Million Units, the Road is Still Long

30 million units is a very substantial number.

At the event site, the 30 millionth car was a right-hand drive Trumpchi M8 PHEV, delivered to a Thai owner. This detail is very symbolic — GAC's next 30 million, a large part needs to be realized in the overseas market.

And to stand firm in the global market, it still relies on quality.

Chinese car companies going global have long passed the stage of "low price, high volume". Now it's about product power, brand, and reputation. And the foundation of all this is quality.

So back to the very first question: In the price war, is sticking to quality really worth it?

In the short term, it might not be cost-effective. Others are cutting prices; if you don't, sales will be affected.

But in the long term, it is definitely worth it.

Because cars are durable consumer goods, users buy not just a car, but the usage experience for the next five to ten years. Whether quality is good or not, time will give the answer.

And reputation, once established, is the most solid moat.

GAC took 29 years to reach 30 million units, relying on this logic. The next 30 million units will likely still rely on this logic.

After all, many car companies walk fast, but those who walk far are truly good.

GAC Group factory viewing platform, a right-hand drive M8 PHEV slowly drove out and was revealed to everyone. 29 years, 30 million vehicles. This number was not achieved overnight; it witnessed the development of the Guangzhou automotive industry and also promoted the development of China's automotive industry.

I noticed at the press conference venue that GAC Group received congratulatory messages from the upstream and downstream supply chains, as well as from many competitors. The highlight was that sitting below the stage were GAC engineers, frontline assemblers, and even owner friends from abroad.

Seeing this scene, my heart was indeed stirred at this moment.

1. 30 Million is a Witness of Quality

GAC Group's 30 million vehicles recorded the journey from the past to "learning to walk" to today, where six major brands — GAC Honda, GAC Toyota, GAC Trumpchi, AION, Hyper, and Qijing — shine brilliantly.

In the first half of this year, GAC Group sold 773,100 units, a year-on-year increase of 2.35%, with new energy vehicle sales increasing by 68.8% year-on-year. This demonstrates GAC Group's determination to transform toward electrification and intelligence.

Not only that, GAC Group also exceeded 120,000 units in overseas exports, a 132% year-on-year surge. From "bringing in" before to "going out" now, it reflects a microcosm of moving from scale expansion to value leap, becoming bigger and stronger.

If asked what leaves the deepest impression of GAC, I believe it is quality.

The 30 millionth vehicle rolled off the line today was chosen as a right-hand drive M8 PHEV; this car was not picked at random. On one hand, the M8 has already made a name for itself in overseas markets; even Thai martial arts superstar Tony Jaa was influenced by it, becoming the 30 millionth owner.

It was unthinkable ten years ago that a Chinese MPV would make overseas celebrities willingly pay for it.

2. What does GAC's "Quality" rely on?

I believe GAC's quality relies on methods and practice. If absorbing the essence of Honda's Total Quality Management (TQM) and Toyota's Lean Production System (TPS) is the methodology, then requiring every new car to undergo "Five Highs, One Mountain, One Dust" extreme tests and "Two Winters, One Summer" on-site road trials before launch is clearly a guarantee of good quality.

Everyone can see that Danxia batteries have been installed in 1.5 million vehicles cumulatively, with safe driving exceeding 160 billion kilometers. The Xingling Safety Guardian System served nearly 2 million users and prevented 6.28 million potential accidents. These are solid performances.

Not only that, quality is also reflected in the confidence of possessing the "Three Responsibilities" policy. GAC was the first in the industry to launch the "Three Responsibilities" policy for its own brands — spontaneous battery combustion replaced with a new car, degradation beyond limits replaced for free, and smart parking accidents covered by the manufacturer.

Daring to make such a promise indicates confidence in their own products. This practice of extending quality assurance from the moment of delivery to the entire vehicle usage lifecycle holds benchmark significance in the industry.

3. Full of Expectations for the Future

Watching GAC Group grow from nothing to something, from small to large. 30 million is not just a number — it is the choice of 30 million families.

According to the plan, by 2030, GAC aims to enter 120 countries and regions globally, build over 2,000 overseas outlets, and achieve an annual overseas sales volume of 1 million vehicles.

In the second half of the year, there are also major models such as the hard-core off-road SUV Trumpchi "Yue 7", AION smart coupes, and Qijing GX7.

For the next 30 million, we look forward to watching it grow big, and more importantly, watching it grow strong.

On July 16, the GAC Group 30 Million User Gratitude Event was held at the GAC Trumpchi factory. Leaders from Guangdong Province, Guangzhou City, and Panyu District, Fu Bingfeng, Executive Vice President and Secretary-General of China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, Feng Xingya, Chairman of GAC Group, He Xianqing, General Manager, and other members of the leadership team, industry partners, suppliers, dealer representatives, and domestic and international owner representatives, staff representatives, and media representatives all attended together, witnessing the milestone moment of GAC welcoming its 30 millionth user.

From the first whole vehicle off the line to the delivery of the 30 millionth vehicle, GAC has experienced a 29-year development journey. Behind the number 30 million is the choice and trust of tens of millions of users, GAC's long-term determination to uphold quality and safety, the determination to transform towards electrification and intelligence, and a microcosm of the Chinese automotive industry growing from large to strong, from scale expansion to value leap.

Global Synchronization: Smart New Energy Matrix Demonstrates Transformation Process

At the event site, GAC's global multi-base production bases were connected simultaneously. GAC Honda P7, GAC Toyota Platinum 7, Qijing GT7, GAC Aion N60, and GAC Hyper S600 were off the line sequentially as GAC's 29,999,995th to 29,999,999th vehicles. Finally, the right-hand drive version of GAC Trumpchi M8 PHEV made a brilliant appearance on the on-site stage as the 30 millionth whole vehicle. The collective appearance of the new energy vehicle off-line model matrix became direct evidence of GAC advancing its electrification and intelligence transformation with full speed.

Subsequently, Feng Xingya handed the key to the 30 millionth vehicle into the hands of Thai owner Mr. Tony Jaa. This moment captured is not just a number, but a warm witness of GAC and global users "running towards each other".

This trust spanning mountains and seas is exactly the confidence for GAC to break through in the industry upheaval. In the first half of this year, GAC Group sales reached 773,100 vehicles, an increase of 2.35% year-on-year, among which new energy vehicle sales increased by 68.8% year-on-year; overseas exports broke through 120,000 vehicles, a surge of 132% year-on-year, running a steady rhythm during the industry's deep reshaping period.

Quality as Foundation: Building Confidence for Millions of Users' Travel

"Quality is the bottom line GAC will never concede." Feng Xingya stated in his summary speech. In GAC's development, scale growth has always maintained quality as the background. For many years, GAC Group has always adhered to the concept of "Quality First", integrating Honda's Total Quality Management (TQM), Toyota's Lean Production Method (TPS), and Lingnan culture to build a quality management model centered on "Integration and Innovation". The focal point of everything is to create good cars that make users feel confident driving, worry-free using, and comfortable sitting.

From the R&D end to the manufacturing end, GAC has established a strict quality control system along the entire chain: before each new car goes on the market, it must undergo extreme environment testing in high cold, high temperature, high altitude, high humidity, high corrosion, mountain areas, and sand dust, completing "Two Winters, One Summer" on-site road tests; assisted by test grounds and laboratories covering 12 major items and over 1,500 verification sub-items for the whole vehicle, achieving systematic quality verification; GAC Aion Intelligent Eco Factory, as the "Global First New Energy Vehicle Lighthouse Factory", ensures stable quality of mass-produced products with a digital intelligent manufacturing system.

At the core safety technology level, the Xingling Safety Guardian System builds four protection dimensions, with eight key systems adopting dual redundancy design, having already guarded nearly 2 million users and avoiding 6.28 million potential travel risks; the Box Battery has accumulated 1.5 million vehicles on board, with safe driving mileage exceeding 160 billion kilometers; the service side simultaneously adds guarantees, GAC was the first in the industry to launch the independent brand "Three Responsibilities" policy, proactively covering the bottom line for user concerns on battery and intelligent driving assistance, dispelling user concerns about vehicle use. It is precisely these security lines and service commitments that support the brand confidence behind GAC's 30 million sales.

User Orientation: Building a Full-Cycle Warm Service System

"What users care about, we put in our hearts; what users expect, we go all out." Feng Xingya stated that this user-centric concept has long been deeply integrated into the development genes of GAC Group. For many years, GAC Group has always adhered to the corporate concept of "People First, Trust as Way, Innovation First", where the core meaning of "People First" is precisely taking users as the foundation.

On one hand, to face problems and listen to user voices, GAC regularly holds user full open-mic events, inviting users to the "home" for face-to-face exchange. Meanwhile, establishing a full-process closed-loop management mechanism ensures that every suggestion can be properly handled, and common issues are optimized for the full volume of users immediately.

In addition, GAC also established a dedicated user insight department and promoted the full-process change from problem discovery to solution, guaranteeing user requests are answered item by item and matters are settled item by item from an organizational mechanism perspective.

On the other hand, the service network accelerates penetration simultaneously. At the channel end, promoting service network sinking into counties, with plans to add 1,000 county-level authorized stores within the year; at the response end, launching "Super Butler" service, achieving 5-second response, 2-hour request completion, guaranteeing user requests are reached and processed fast. At the replenishment end, building a "9 Vertical 10 Horizontal" replenishment network, already covering 31 provinces and 213 cities nationwide, with "a station within 1 kilometer in straight line" in core urban areas, with self-operated charging piles exceeding 27,000 roots, among which super-fast charging piles broke through 20,000 roots, providing convenient replenishment services for new energy vehicle owners.

The core theme of this gratitude event is to pay sincere feedback and thanks for the long-term support of 30 million users. At the event site, Feng Xingya announced that starting from today, GAC officially launches the "GAC Group 30 Million Vehicle Exit · Renew Gratitude Season". GAC Honda, GAC Toyota, GAC Trumpchi, GAC Aion, GAC Hyper, and Qijing Automotive, the six passenger car brands, will introduce characteristic policies around new purchase, exchange to additional purchase respectively, to feedback every companionship and support.

Tech Centripetal: Empowering Real Travel with Cutting-edge Technology

With 30 million as a new starting point, GAC will drive innovation to move towards a new journey of electrification and intelligence, letting cutting-edge technology truly transform into user-perceivable peace of mind and convenience.

In the power field, Xingyuan Power developed by the "National Excellent Engineer Team", covering Xingyuan Extended Range, Xingyuan Plug-in Hybrid, and Xingyuan Super Twin-engine three technologies, will be equipped with more mass-produced vehicle models. Each product must undergo 100,000 hours of bench and whole vehicle verification, equivalent mileage exceeding 10 million kilometers, ensuring performance remains steady as a rock under all scenarios and regions.

In the "Three Power" field, GAC continues to tackle battery super-fast charging, low-temperature range, and other industry pain points, having built a full solid-state battery pilot production line, launching extreme energy consumption technology, with the mass-produced Quark E-drive motor highest efficiency breaking through 99%, the highest level in the industry.

In the intelligent networking field, the Super Brain Xingling Architecture continues to evolve, connecting intelligent driving assistance, smart cockpit, power, chassis, body, and internet of vehicles six systems, achieving "One Brain Unified Command", with comprehensive performance improved by 40%; Star River Smart Cockpit achieves end-cloud integration, letting cars become true "thinking, understanding people" partners. GAC will also stand shoulder to shoulder with top partners such as Huawei, CATL, Didi, Tencent, and Alibaba to build a stronger AI smart eco.

So far, GAC Group cumulative R&D investment exceeded 62 billion yuan, global R&D team exceeds 6,800 people. Continuous technical investment is pushing GAC's products from transportation tools to intelligent travel partners, mobile smart spaces, and green energy ecosystems.

Looking to the future, GAC will continue to anchor user needs, build on quality, take technological innovation as core drive, take global layout as development path, accelerating the upgrade to Eco-tech GAC, walking side by side and achieving each other with more users, jointly rushing to a smarter, greener, and broader future.

July 16, inside the GAC Trumpchi factory in Panyu, Guangzhou, a right-hand drive Trumpchi M8 PHEV slowly drove off the production line. This car had no exaggerated livery, nor the complex ceremony of a red carpet, but its appearance brought a certain weight to the air of the entire scene. This is the 30 millionth vehicle produced by GAC Group.

When GAC Group Chairman Feng Xingya handed the keys to Thai owner Tony Jaa, the moment captured in the camera was not merely a warm interaction between GAC representatives and users. In 2026, a year when industry price wars raged fiercely and competition evolved from 'fighting over prices' to 'fighting over leadership', GAC offered a different narrative through its 29-year milestone.

At a time when many shout "long-termism" while engaging in short-term games, GAC's 30 million might be the most substantial interpretation of these four characters.

30 Million Units Produced, GAC Turns the Home Field into a "Global Showcase"

This production line ceremony was not turned into a dull marathon of leadership speeches, but instead had a hard-core tech-style romance. The most intuitive feeling on site was: GAC is no longer just Guangzhou's GAC.

At the event site, GAC connected multiple global production bases simultaneously. As vehicles numbered from 29,999,995 to 29,999,999 appeared sequentially in a "cloud reveal", the GAC Honda P7, GAC Toyota bZ7, Qijing GT7, Aion N60, and Hyper S600 all took the stage. Finally, the right-hand drive Trumpchi M8 PHEV in the center of the stage made its grand finale appearance as the 30 millionth vehicle.

Choosing the right-hand drive M8 PHEV as a milestone model is itself a strong signal that GAC's ambition long ago was no longer limited to the domestic market. In the first half of this year, GAC's independent brand export volume reached 121,500 vehicles, up 132% year-on-year, almost matching last year's full-year level. Thailand's June sales surged 207% month-on-month, and the European market is also building a full-chain operational system from production to sales.

30 million users are not just the result of Chinese car owners voting with their feet, but also the recognition of the "Made in China Intelligence" by markets in 110 countries and regions worldwide.

Building cars is not a 100-meter sprint, but a never-ending marathon

Of course, marketing can tell stories, but a volume of 30 million cannot be sustained by marketing alone. In GAC's narrative, the most critical underlying logic supporting this number is quality.

At the event site, a sentence from Feng Xingya left a deep impression: "Quality is the bottom line GAC will never yield." When spoken by GAC, this sentence is indeed persuasive. In the wave of the industry pursuing "cost reduction and efficiency improvement", many car companies do subtraction where it cannot be seen to compress costs, but GAC continues to do addition in quality verification.

Before each new car launches, GAC requires at least two winters and one summer of on-site road testing; the regular steady cycle lasts up to 21 months; from Turpan's 60°C high temperature to Hailar's -40°C extreme cold, from high humidity, high salt fog to mountains and sandstorms, the "Five Highs, One Mountain, One Dust" full environment assessment covers all extreme scenarios users might encounter.

This "hard work" is also reflected in data: The Magazine Battery has been installed in a cumulative 1.5 million vehicles, with safe driving mileage exceeding 160 billion kilometers; the Star Spirit Safety Protection System has served nearly 2 million users, cumulatively preventing potential accidents 6.28 million times. By the end of 2025, GAC also took the lead in the industry to launch the independent brand "Three Responsibilities" policy, actively guaranteeing the Three-Electric systems, battery degradation, and intelligent parking accidents.

Behind these data lies a simple truth: Quality is not spoken, it is verified.

Turning "User-Centric" from a Slogan into a Closed Loop

At present, "user-centric" has almost become the standard slogan for every car company, but few can truly turn user feedback into a closed loop for product improvement.

GAC's approach includes some details worth noting. The "All Microphones On" activity allows R&D heads to face users directly, converting real car usage pain points into product optimization priorities; the establishment of an exclusive user insight department guarantees user requests are "responded to in every case" through organizational mechanisms.

Hard investment in the service system is also progressing synchronously: By the end of June, 600 county-level outlets have been certified, planned to increase to 1,000 within the year; self-operated charging piles exceed 27,000, core urban areas achieve "a station within 1 kilometer in a straight line"; Online "Super Butler" promises 5-second response, 2-hour problem solving.

These actions cannot be called disruptive innovations, but they point to a more pragmatic logic: Users do not need flashy concepts, but rather someone to repair broken cars, no long queues for charging, and someone to manage problems.

Panyu Action One Year, Reform Is Not a Banquet

Last November, GAC launched the "Panyu Action", moving the headquarters to Panyu, and starting independent brand integrated operations. At that time, there was waiting and also questioning outside. The organizational reform of traditional car companies has always been known to be easy to say but difficult to do.

After more than a year of promotion, results are being released. In the first half of the year, GAC Group cumulative sales were 773,100 vehicles, up 2.35% year-on-year; independent brand cumulative sales were 346,000 vehicles, up 35.69% year-on-year. More importantly, the proportion of energy-saving and new energy vehicles has reached 62.82%. GAC's electrification transformation is no longer a slogan, but solid sales data.

From starting amidst controversy in 1997, to the birth of Trumpchi in 2010 realizing the independent dream, to now Qijing GT7 carrying Huawei Qiankun Intelligent Driving ADS 5 to rush the high-end market, GAC has experienced four leapfrog developments. The trajectory of these 29 years illustrates a truth: In the automotive industry, there are no shortcuts. All "speed" is backed by "slow" accumulation.

30 Million Is a Milestone, Not a Finish Line

Speaking of this gratitude event itself, from July 16 to August 31, GAC's six major brands launched multiple favors around new purchase, trade-in, and additional purchase, covering fuel, hybrid, pure electric, and extended-range power types. This is a return on the support of 30 million users, and also an active layout for the additional and replacement purchase market in the era of stock competition.

But looking from a longer cycle, the significance of 30 million is not just this. In the transformation period of the Chinese automotive industry from large to strong, GAC's path provides a reference: Not harvesting the market through short-term price wars, but accumulating reputation through quality; Not relying on a single technical route, but planning new energy power across the board; Not only staring at domestic share, but actively going overseas to participate in global competition.

This might not be the most clever approach, but it might be the way to go further. 30 million users are not the end of GAC's story, but the starting point of the next 29 years. For GAC, which is currently leaping from "Manufacturing" to "Intelligent Manufacturing", from "Local" to "Global", and from "Car Enterprise" to "Technology Ecosystem Enterprise", the real test has just begun.

July 16, GAC Group officially welcomed the important milestone of cumulative deliveries reaching 30 million units, simultaneously launched the Gratitude Reward activity for 30 million users across all brands. 29 years of deep cultivation in the automotive track, from zero start to earning the trust of 30 million users, this outstanding achievement is both the result of GAC's adherence to long-term qualityism and a true microcosm of the high-quality development of the Chinese automotive industry.

Earning the long-term choice of 30 million car owners, the core foundation lies in GAC's consistent rigorous quality control system. All new cars must complete the "two winters and one summer" long-cycle extreme testing before launch, also travel to high-temperature, extreme cold, high-altitude, sand and dust, and other "five highs, one mountain, one dust" full-scenario verification; relying on a global integrated vehicle wind tunnel, domestic high-standard comprehensive test fields and AION global new energy lighthouse factories, GAC achieves digital control of the entire link of design, testing, and production, hundreds of industrial robots in the welding workshop paired with AI visual inspection, data for thousands of body fastening points is traceable throughout their lifetime, guarding manufacturing precision from the source.

In terms of safety, GAC has built a perfect full-domain protection system. Danxia Battery cumulative installation reached 1.5 million units, cumulative mileage surpassed 160 billion kilometers; Star Spirit Safety Guard system since going online, cumulatively avoided 6.28 million potential driving risks. Industry-first "Three Responsibilities" service commitment, targeting tri-power self-ignition, battery excessive degradation, intelligent parking accident three core user concerns provides bottom-line guarantee, paired with high-standard cage body, high proportion of high-strength steel, integrating safety throughout the vehicle's full lifecycle. Long-term rigorous quality control has also received authoritative recognition, GAC won the China Quality Award Nomination Prize, multiple brands under it have occupied the forefront of sub-segment depreciation rates and quality lists for years.

Sustained huge R&D investment is the confidence behind GAC's continuous quality advancement. As of the end of 2025, GAC's independent R&D cumulative investment exceeded 62 billion yuan, total patent applications surpassed 24,900 items, invention patents exceeded 11,200 items. Star Spirit Architecture 4.0, Galaxy Smart Cockpit, Star Source Power, Starship Body four independent R&D core technologies fully implemented, at the same time partnering with Huawei Qiankun to create high-end smart models like Qijing GT, achieving collaborative breakthroughs in intelligent driving, cockpit, and power technology, balancing household comfort and frontier technology, allowing users with different budgets to enjoy high-standard products.

If hardcore quality is GAC's internal foundation, then the systematic globalization strategy is the enterprise's second growth curve. Different from simple complete vehicle exports, GAC relies on the "One GAC 2.0" strategy, achieving overseas rooting of R&D, production, supply chain, and sales service full value chain, thoroughly getting rid of the traditional overseas mode of simply selling cars. Currently, GAC's business covers Asia-Pacific, Middle East, Americas, Europe five major sectors totaling 110 countries, established 7 overseas production bases, 9 parts warehouses, 746 overseas sales service outlets, a complete localized operating system helps products adapt to regulations and user needs in various countries.

The momentum of overseas market growth is rapid, in the first half of 2026, GAC's independent brand export volume reached 121,500 vehicles, up by 132% year-on-year, half-year sales have approached the 2025 full-year level. Regional markets blooming in multiple points, Thailand market June sales month-on-month increase reached 207%, Europe market new energy models are steadily landing, sales of models in Americas countries such as Brazil, Colombia increased multiple times. Facing the long term, GAC has set clear globalization goals: in 2030 business coverage will cover 120 countries, overseas offline outlets will exceed 2,000, annual overseas sales to hit 1 million units, to allow "GAC Intelligent Manufacturing" to continuously expand global market share.

To reward 30 million global car owners, July 16 to August 31, GAC subsidiaries GAC Honda, GAC Toyota, GAC Trumpchi, AION, Hyper, Qijing six brands simultaneously launched car buying benefits, direct price drop on new purchase, low-interest finance, high-value trade-in, family add-on purchase multiple benefits stacked, covering fuel, hybrid, pure electric, range-extended full category models, multiple main models simultaneously went off the line in domestic and overseas factories, key products like Qijing GT7, Trumpchi M8 PHEV, AION N60 focused appearance, intuitively demonstrating GAC's full matrix product strength.

Looking back at 29 years of development, GAC experienced four leapfrog upgrades: joint venture start, independent rise, electric intelligent transformation, global ecosystem expansion, 30 million units delivery milestone is not the end, but a brand new starting point. In the future, GAC will continue to adhere to fine craftsmanship quality long-termism, continuously increasing investment in independent R&D of core technologies, simultaneously deepening full value chain globalization layout, going global with reliable products and perfect services, continuously polishing the business card of Chinese automotive industry intelligent manufacturing.

Recently, at the BAIC Zhuzhou Super Factory, the BJ30 Traveler reached its 150,000th unit off the line. Behind this number is an industry benchmark worth noting—it is the fastest model in the Chinese light off-road SUV category to reach 150,000 sales.

From a market logic perspective, 150,000 units mean the product has undergone large-scale user testing. It is not a promise for a car delivered later, but substantial reputation accumulation. Beijing Off-road chose this moment to launch the Highlight Edition and pulled the full series price to start from 69,900 yuan through a 30,000 yuan super trade-in policy. The intention is obvious: riding the market heat, lower the threshold of light off-road by one gear, so that more people do not have to give up off-road performance due to budget when switching from sedans to SUVs.

Price is always the most sensitive nerve for individual consumers. What concept does a starting price of 69,900 yuan represent? In the current market, this is basically the entry price for a small joint-venture sedan, while the BJ30 Traveler offers a boxy SUV with a 2,820 mm wheelbase and a three-row seven-seat layout. Even for the Highlight Edition, the super trade-in price starts at only 82,900 yuan.

More importantly, this trade-in policy is not limited to the traditional logic of exchanging an old car for a new car; both trade-in users and new buyers can enjoy it, effectively expanding the subsidy coverage.

On this basis, the value of the five layers of benefits is not low: lifetime warranty for the first owner on the entire vehicle, 0 down payment financial plans, lifetime free OTA upgrades, lifetime free basic data, and two years of unlimited entertainment data—these policies directly address the pain points of family users who fear breakdowns, high costs, and obsolescence. Especially the lifetime warranty for the entire vehicle, for an SUV with a hybrid system, largely resolves user concerns about after-sales maintenance costs.

Of course, price is just an entry point; whether the product is good enough is the key to retaining customers. The BJ30 Traveler was able to sell in volume in the market before, relying on three tags: Super Off-Road, Super Spacious, and Super Efficient. These three tags are not marketing jargon, but are supported by specific technical parameters.

The core of Super Off-Road is that three-engine four-drive six-mode HEV hybrid architecture. The hybrid-specific engine with 41% thermal efficiency is paired with front and rear dual motors, with an intelligent four-wheel drive response speed of 30 milliseconds, capable of delivering peak torque in 0.5 seconds.

For average users, this translates to: when encountering slippery roads on rainy or snowy days, or mud and sand encountered on weekend trips to the suburbs, this system can automatically switch to the optimal mode, without requiring you to manually lock the differential like driving a hard-core off-roader. The essence of light off-road lies here—not making you climb rocky slopes, but giving you confidence when facing bad roads, while not sacrificing road comfort in daily use.

Super Spacious is the point family users care about more. A 2,820 mm wheelbase, 66% space utilization rate, and 1,496 liters of super large trunk can form a 1.92-meter large bed after the rear row is folded flat completely. The three-row seven-seat layout is not common in SUVs at the same price level; the B-class boxy wide-body design allows adults up to 1.8 meters tall to sit in the third row, with 38 storage spaces throughout the car.

Behind these numbers is a practical scenario: a family of five camping on the weekend, tents, folding chairs, and children's bicycles can all be packed in; at night, folding down the rear row allows them to rest directly in the car. For families with a budget under 100,000 yuan who need large space, this size utilization is indeed very competitive.

Super Efficient is the guarantee for long-term usage costs. In actual tests by automotive bloggers from five countries in South Africa, Indonesia, the UAE, Poland, and Mexico, the BJ30 Traveler all achieved fuel consumption not exceeding 5 liters per 100 km, with a range per tank exceeding 1,000 km. As an HEV model, it does not require charging piles; you just refuel and go. For users without fixed parking spots or unable to install home charging piles, this seamless energy saving is more practical than plug-in hybrids. The policy of lifetime warranty for the entire vehicle for the first owner also further reduces holding costs.

The Highlight Edition launched this time made targeted upgrades based on the above. In terms of appearance, it added electrified trendy modification kits, exclusive star ring rims, and front and rear matching color sports bumpers; the interior changed to an orange color scheme and metal texture panels.

In terms of performance, it was upgraded with high-performance AGM batteries, with a cycle life 3 times that of ordinary batteries; the rear motor power increased from 55 kW to 70 kW, with faster response when merging onto ramps and starting at intersections.

In terms of experience, rain-sensing wipers, auto window closing, 64-color ambient light pulsing with music, seat heating and ventilation, and steering wheel heating—these configurations pulled light off-road towards the direction of refined commuting. Simply put, the Highlight Edition is not about taking you to wilder places, but making the car you drive in the city look like a quality SUV.

The most convincing part was the 150,000 km teardown live stream at the press conference. Under the lens of CCTV Finance, a BJ30 Traveler that had driven 150,000 km was disassembled; the engine turbocharger had little carbon buildup, and power output remained ample; the transmission casing was intact with no oil leaks, and internal gears showed no significant wear; the battery pack had no bulging, leakage, or degradation; the chassis subframe and suspension control arms had no rust or oil seepage, with flatness close to new cars.

150,000 km is equivalent to nearly 10 years of usage intensity for an average family; this teardown result is more direct than any advertising slogan: solid materials and reliable craftsmanship mean lower maintenance frequency and longer vehicle replacement cycles.

The confidence for the teardown comes from the manufacturing side. The welding workshop of the BAIC Zhuzhou Super Factory achieved 100% automation, with glue application errors not exceeding a hair's breadth; the stamping workshop used more than 5,000 tons of giant equipment to press body panels in one go; the spray painting workshop adopted environmentally friendly water-based paint, reducing harmful volatile substances by more than 60%, resulting in less new car smell and stronger paint corrosion resistance. Each process is set with a quality control checkpoint; this manufacturing standard placed at the price level of 69,900 yuan starting makes the cost-performance logic hold true.

Back to the consumer perspective, who is the BJ30 Traveler Highlight Edition suitable for? If your budget is around 100,000 yuan, you need an SUV with large space, low fuel consumption, and occasional ability to drive on bad roads, while having concerns about new energy charging conditions, then this HEV light off-road is a pragmatic choice. The entry price starting from 69,900 yuan reduces trial-and-error costs, while the Highlight Edition starting from 82,900 yuan adds value in terms of looks and experience. During the World Cup, there was also an activity to guess the champion and score to win 50,000 yuan in car purchase subsidies; although the hit rate is not high, it counts as an extra marketing gimmick.

150,000 units are a milestone, but more importantly, they prove a market logic: Chinese families do not need to pay an excessive premium for off-road capabilities; a price-wise reasonable, quality-reliable, and low usage cost light off-road SUV can completely become a mainstream choice. The launch of the BJ30 Traveler Highlight Edition pushed this logic one step further.

June 12, 2026, the "150,000 Loves, Highlights Arrive" BJ30 Traveler 150,000th Unit Off-the-Line Ceremony and Highlight Edition Launch Event was held grandly at the BAIC Zhuzhou Super Factory. The event welcomed a brand sales milestone, with the annual new BJ30 Traveler Highlight Edition launching simultaneously. Beijing Off-road also partnered with CCTV Finance to complete the industry's first 150,000 km real vehicle network-wide disassembly live stream, comprehensively showcasing the hard power of this domestic light off-road SUV through hard-core testing and intelligent manufacturing. Officially launched simultaneously was a 30,000 yuan super trade-in subsidy, with trade-in prices for the full series starting from 69,900 yuan, significantly lowering the entry threshold and letting light off-road life enter thousands of homes.

Relying on over 60 years of off-road technology accumulation from Beijing Off-road, the BJ30 Traveler accurately fits the diverse needs of family users for commuting, traveling, and light off-roading, leading the market with three core advantages: ultra-off-road, ultra-large, and ultra-efficient. Today, the vehicle has successfully achieved a 150,000-unit sales milestone, becoming the fastest domestic light off-road SUV model to break through 150,000 units. The choice of 150,000 users is the most direct recognition of the product's strength, also allowing it to solidify its position as a benchmark in the sub-segment.

Market performance is enough to verify reputation. The BJ30 Traveler has taken the first place in sales for both HEV Hybrid Boxy Shape and Domestic HEV Hybrid Models for two consecutive years, and has also topped the sales of domestic HEV Hybrid SUVs for 24 consecutive months. In the field of value retention, it won the value retention champion of the domestic compact SUV in the 100,000-150,000 yuan class, with outstanding value performance throughout the cycle. Not only has it deepened its focus on the domestic market, but the car has also been exported overseas, winning international awards such as Best Hybrid SUV in the Arab Region and Argentina's Best Import SUV of the Year, showcasing China's intelligent manufacturing strength to the world.

The BJ30 Traveler Highlight Edition, honed based on real user feedback from 150,000 car owners, officially premiered. Building on original advantages, the new car achieved comprehensive upgrades in three dimensions: Highlight Appearance, Highlight Performance, and Highlight Experience, balancing the personalized aesthetic of younger groups with the practical needs of large families, further advancing the product strength.

In terms of appearance, the Highlight Edition continues the classic boxy shape, cleverly blending a rugged off-road style with exquisite design. The iconic five-star ring through-light group is highly recognizable, and three exclusive paint colors, Lava Orange, Dome Blue, and Cold River Grey, have been added to the body, offering diverse styles. The whole vehicle is equipped with an electric tactile trendy modification kit, exclusive star ring wheels, and a sports bumper, full of dynamic sense; the cockpit is upgraded with orange interior trim paired with metal texture panels, combined with the family mountain-shaped dashboard design, blending off-road heritage with light luxury texture, making the appearance suitable for all-scenario travel.

Performance upgrade is the core highlight of the Highlight Edition. The new car adopts the industry-leading three-engine four-wheel drive six-mode HEV hybrid architecture, and completed multiple optimizations: replaced with long-life AGM batteries, with cycle life reaching 3 times that of ordinary batteries, making electricity usage and starting more stable; equipped with Porsche's same VGT variable geometry turbocharging technology, combined with 41% high thermal efficiency engine, the whole vehicle charging efficiency reaches up to 99%, balancing power and energy consumption; rear axle motor power increased from 55 kW to 70 kW, with more rapid power response during acceleration, lane changing, and overtaking.

This hybrid system is also the foundation of the whole vehicle's off-road capability. Three-engine power combined with intelligent electric four-wheel drive with 30 ms ultra-fast response has six operating modes that can automatically switch according to road conditions. Assisted by electronic controlled energy central locking, four-wheel electronic limited slip, and smart electric ATS all-terrain control system, combined with 5,928 N·m maximum wheel end torque, muddy ground, sandy ground, cross-axle and other light off-road conditions can be easily handled. The whole vehicle has undergone 4 million km extreme environment durability testing, with a cage-type body made of 63.4% high-strength steel, with torsional stiffness reaching 24,800 N·m/deg, comprehensively protecting travel safety.

In terms of space performance, the BJ30 Traveler is fully advantageous. A 2,820 mm extra-long wheelbase combined with 66% ultra-high usable rate makes it the only large seven-seat boxy SUV in the 100,000 yuan class. The third row space is spacious, and 1.8-meter adults can sit without any feeling of oppression. A 1,496-liter ultra-large trunk can accommodate camping and skiing complete equipment, jokingly called by users "no need for moving vans when moving house"; the rear row can be folded flat to form a 1.92-meter flat large bed, combined with a panoramic sunroof, unlocking outdoor travel fun anytime and anywhere. 38 storage spaces in the whole vehicle, detail design is thoughtful and comprehensive.
