Prior to its official launch, WTCA had already previewed the GAC AION Y Plus in January this year. Speaking in his keynote address at the GAC AION Y Plus launch event, Warisan TC Holdings Bhd Chief Executive Officer Tan Keng Meng again noted the highly positive reception towards the GAC brand amongst Malaysian consumers as a key catalyst for the company.
“We are confident that the specification and package that we have put together for the all new GAC AION Y Plus will meet the expectation of the discerning urbanite and for those seeking the ideal “plus one” will find the All new GAC AION Y Plus very enticing and exciting,” adds Tan.
WTCA will begin delivering the GAC AION Y Plus Elite variant starting June 2024. Deliveries of the higher-end Premium variant will commence from July 2024 onwards.
Over the next five years, WTCA also plans to introduce an attractive and comprehensive inventory of GAC and GAC AION models, including Internal Combustion Engine (ICE), hybrid models, and electric vehicles.
