Overseas markets

GAC Group launched their GAC Motor brand and the GS8 SUV, in Russia, on December 9, 2019.[9]

In Lebanon it is sold by Bazerji Motors Sal and comes with 2.0 engine and 4WD and back up camera and parking sensor [10]

GAC Group was initially slated to launch the GS8 in the United States by late 2019,[11]but, announced delays to their sales plans to the first half of 2020, during the 2019 Detroit Auto Show.[12] On May 22, 2019, due to the worsening China-US trade tensions, the parent company of Trumpchi brand: Guangzhou Automobile Group Co., decided to indefinitely postpone their US market plans.[13]
