Shanghai, September 23 (Gasgoo.com) SAIC-GM-Wuling (SGMW) is developing its
Wuling-brand sedan and plans to launch the compact mid-size model codenamed
GP50 at the end of 2010, the venture's passenger car project director told
Gasgoo.com yesterday.

 

SAIC-GM-Wuling Automobile Co., General Motors' mini-commercial-vehicle
venture with SAIC Motor and Wuling Auto, will build the GP50 sedan model
mainly on the technical platform of Pan-Asia Technical Automotive Center
(PATAC), an auto tech and design venture of GM and SAIC.

 

Meanwhile, this Wuling-brand GP50 sedan, whose launch is scheduled for late
2010 or early 2011,  is likely to share dealerships with the Chevrolet
Spark, which already has developed a mature sales network. 

 

SAIC-GM-Wuling sold 88,711 vehicles in August, up 123% from a year earlier.
Sales in the first eight months increased 60% to 702,610 units. Its exports
to South America and North Africa also grew considerably last month.

 

As a leader in China's mini-van market, SAIC-GM-Wuling aims to expand into
the sedan market by launching its Wuling-brand sedan model. This has nothing
to do with the sedan project of Guangxi province, where the company is
located, the director said.
