Trumpchi (Chinese: 广汽传祺; pinyin: Guǎngqì Chuánqí) is an automotive marque owned by the Chinese automaker GAC Group. It was launched in December 2010. The Trumpchi brand is operated in Chinese domestic market while it is rebranded as GAC Motor in overseas markets.

History

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (November 2023)

GAC began the construction of facilities to produce vehicles for a new own-brand automotive marque in 2008. The first Trumpchi model to go into production, the Trumpchi GA5 sedan, a four-door mid-size saloon car model based on the platform of the Alfa Romeo 166, went into mass production in September 2010. The first 500 Trumpchi sedans produced were delivered to the organizing committee of the 2010 Asian Games in October 2010.

The Trumpchi Sedan was formally unveiled to the public at Auto Guangzhou in December 2010, and public sales of the vehicles began in the same month. The Trumpchi GS5, a sport utility vehicle based on the same platform as the Trumpchi Sedan, was launched in March 2012.

The production version of the Trumpchi GA3 compact sedan was unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show in April 2013.
