I previously followed the development history of GAC Trumpchi. It is actually the brainchild of Guangzhou Automobile Group Co., Ltd., an independent brand wholly created by GAC itself. GAC Group started by producing joint-venture vehicles, with successful models like GAC Honda and GAC Toyota. Around 2010, they began developing their own Trumpchi brand, targeting the mid-to-high-end domestic vehicle market. Currently, Trumpchi offers a comprehensive lineup, with its GS series SUVs and M series MPVs being particularly popular. Last year, they even established a factory in Indonesia, marking their expansion into international markets. As a state-owned enterprise's proprietary brand, Trumpchi has accumulated substantial experience in chassis tuning and engine technology. However, compared to private brands like Geely, its design style tends to be more conservative.
