Luxury SUV Spotted: GAC's New Flagship Model Teased

A series of leaked images has provided a glimpse into GAC's new flagship luxury SUV, codenamed L946. Set to take on the likes of the Geely Wenge N9, Great Wall OR8, and Quesheng M9, this upcoming model is expected to be positioned as a large-capacity SUV built on the SPA Evo platform.

According to previous Zhejiang GAC Car's tender information, it is likely that the new model will make its official debut and go on sale between November 2024 and June 2025. Given this timeline, there's a high probability that it will arrive in showrooms by the third quarter of 2025.

Design-wise, the SUV is spotted boasting a rugged and angular design language. The frontal fascia is characterized by sharp lines and a straight upper edge. While the surface markings can't be identified clearly from the leaked images, they appear to take cues from other vehicles like the Geely Extreme 009. As of now, the intricacies remain shrouded in mystery.

Side-profile shots indicate that it will retain a straightforward stance, with an adequate window-to-body mass ratio. The rear end bears the faint marks of a mini deflector plate rising upwards from the C-pillar to form a subtle spoiler. Below the rear light panel reveals a neatly aligned profile resembling straight lines for symmetry.

With these visuals and the anticipated capabilities stated in previous news announcements it cannot be ruled out that potential buyers must consider how they plan to take on its direct competition.

Inside, the car might carry a 5-seater or 6-seater layout. Seating is expected to feature comfortable width of seats to support users. At present those areas aren't open for the general public.
