GAC Automobile Technologies (Pvt) Ltd has officially opened its new GAC City
Showroom located at No. 342, Galle Road, Colombo 04, marking a significant milestone
in the brand’s expansion of Sri Lanka’s electrified mobility landscape. The showroom,
which is strategically located in the heart of the city, delivers an immersive, experience-
led introduction to electric and hybrid mobility that is suited for modern urban living.
Two new vehicles, the GAC E9, a high-end executive plug-in hybrid electric MPV
(PHEV), and the Aion UT, a compact, fully electric city hatchback designed for daily
urban commuting, are also officially introduced to the Sri Lankan market with this
opening.
Together, the opening of the showroom and the launch of the new models demonstrate
GAC’s dedication to provide realistic electrified mobility solutions that blend luxury,
practicality, and daily usability moving beyond experimental technology to proven,
tested innovation.
Mr Kadirawel Kugan, Sales Manager of GAC Automobile Technologies (Pvt) Ltd, said,
“The GAC City Showroom is a declaration of confidence in Sri Lanka’s readiness for
electrified mobility, not just a retail space. Our goal is to provide products that truly
satisfy Sri Lankan drivers while making the switch to electric and hybrid vehicles easy,
reassuring and experience driven.”
The GAC E9, a high-end executive PHEV MPV that combines refined luxury with
practical performance, is the launch’s main attraction. With a total driving range of up to
1,032 kilometres, the E9, which is designed for senior executives, families, and
corporate users, directly addresses range anxiety, one of the most prevalent obstacles
to electrified adoption. The E9 presents itself as the perfect option for both city use and
extended travel by fusing electric efficiency with long-distance confidence.
The Aion UT, a compact, agile, all-electric hatchback designed for urban living. The
Aion UT provides the comfort and efficiency required by daily commuting while
providing an accessible entry point into electric vehicle (EV) ownership thanks to its
affordable price, city-friendly size, and ease of use.
The Showroom provides a modern, conveniently located space where visitors can see,
feel, and experience electrified mobility firsthand. It was designed with city-based clients
in mind. The concept underlines GAC’s emphasis on making EV adoption easier by
focusing on ease, experience, and trust first, especially for customers switching from
conventional vehicles.
The fact that Aion electric vehicles are already effectively operating in Sri Lanka thanks
to a strong local after sales and service infrastructure further strengthens automobile
technology, while expanding EV ecosystem. As an EV-focused distributor, the company
has a strong long-term dedication to reliability, customer confidence, and sustainable
mobility.
GAC Automobile Technologies continues to establish itself as a trusted partner in Sri
Lanka’s shift to electrified mobility, making electric and hybrid vehicles useful,
dependable, and accessible to all, with its expanding model range, experience-driven
retail presence, and proven technology.
The public is now invited to visit the GAC City Showroom in Colombo 04 and get a
firsthand look at the future of executive and urban transportation.
