Chinese vehicle maker Guangzhou Automobile Group (Gac) is exporting vehicles to Mexico in its first major push into the North American market. The firm said it plans to sell 4,000 vehicles in Mexico by the end of 2021.
The SUVs are being shipped under the Dodge brand, which is a division of Stellantis, and will be sold as the Dodge Journey. However, they are being built on GAC’s GS5 vehicle design and made at its own factory in Hangzhou. Stellantis, which has a joint venture with GAC in China, will sell the cars at its dealership network in Mexico, according to the company.
