Recently, GM Group announced that it will establish a sales channel in China independent of SAIC-GM, which is used to introduce more high-end imported models, and the channel may be a direct sales model. GM said in a statement: "We are inviting talents from all over the industry to join us and jointly create our new business in China." It is reported that the high-end import business will operate with a high degree of autonomy, and GM also emphasizes that this business only belongs to GM China.
It is reported that the new business will be dedicated to the sale of high-end General Motors that are currently unavailable in China, such as the eighth-generation Chevrolet Corvette, GMC Pure Electric Hummer, Cadillac CT4-V, CT5-V Blacking, Clarider and Chevrolet Tahoe and many other luxury models exhibited at the China Import Expo.
According to people familiar with the matter, after GM launched the new import car business, the first imported model is likely to be the GMC pure electric Hummer. Pure electric Hummer is a model built with GM's new Ultium pure electric architecture, which has been put into production and delivery in the United States, and the starting price of new cars is likely to exceed 800,000 after the introduction of China in the future.
