PARIS, Oct. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Engineering for a better life. On October 12, the 91st Paris Motor Show opened at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. GAC showcased six flagship models across its GAC, AION and HYPTEC lineups, covering BEV, PHEV and HEV technologies across sedans, SUVs and MPVs. The AION UT Cross, developed with a deep understanding of European mobility needs, made its global debut.
Developed by the GAC Milan Design Center, AION UT Cross is a light off-road crossover EV that combines hatchback agility, wagon-like space and SUV-level capability. Its stylish design and exclusive Cross package are tailored to European aesthetics and diverse lifestyles.
Safety is a key strength, with high-strength steel accounting for 71% of the body. The vehicle features a 2.1-meter V-shaped cavity side curtain airbag and a high-safety Magazine Battery, providing comprehensive protection for the whole family. With a segment-leading 2,750 mm wheelbase, AION UT Cross offers 440 liters of luggage space. Folding the rear seats creates a flat extended cargo area, while 24 storage compartments and a roof rack provide ample space for camping and outdoor gear. Its chassis has been specially tuned for European road conditions, with 147 mm ground clearance when fully loaded for confident urban and outdoor driving. AION UT Cross delivers up to 400 km of WLTP range, while fast charging from 30% to 80% takes just 24 minutes.
Also on display were the AION UT and AION V, both already popular in Europe. Both are made in Europe and have earned five-star Euro NCAP safety ratings, embodying GAC's commitment to vehicles built in Europe, tested in Europe, and engineered for Europe.
Looking ahead, GAC will introduce more global strategic models, including HYPTEC HT and GAC GS7 PHEV, further expanding its European product lineup. By responding to the real needs of European users, GAC will continue to offer locally tailored new energy vehicles and more diverse mobility choices.

AION UT Cross Makes Global Debut as GAC Showcases All-Star Lineup at 2026 Paris Motor Show
New HORIZON 30 Series projectors deliver bright images, deep contrast and smooth 4K 120Hz performance with flexible setup for movies, sports, gaming and more.
CHENGDU, China, Oct. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Following its first preview at IFA 2026, XGIMI, a global leader in premium smart projection and home entertainment, today announced the HORIZON 30 Series, the new generation of high-performance home projectors designed to make big-screen entertainment work for more of what people watch – and more of the rooms they watch it in.
Available in three models – HORIZON 30 Pro, HORIZON 30 Max and HORIZON 30 Ultra Max – the new series combines RGB Triple Laser technology with up to 6,000 ISO lumens of brightness, native contrast up to 10,000:1, and 4K 120Hz performance.
Compared to the HORIZON 20 Series, the new collection delivers seven times the native contrast, and twice the refresh rate – helping pictures stay brighter in rooms with ambient light, revealing greater depth in dark scenes, and making fast-moving content look smoother.
Picture Perfect, Day or Night
Great entertainment shouldn't wait until the lights go down. The HORIZON 30 Series is designed to adapt as the room, content, and occasion change.
Powered by an RGB Triple Laser light source, the series reaches up to 6,000 ISO lumens, helping maintain a bright, vibrant picture for afternoon sports, weekend gaming, or everyday TV. When the room gets darker, native contrast of up to 10,000:1 brings greater depth and detail to shadows, giving movies and cinematic content a richer sense of dimension.
A Dual Intelligent Iris System automatically adjusts light as scenes change, bringing out more detail in both bright highlights and deep shadows. XGIMI's 19-element optical system is engineered for edge-to-edge clarity, while Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and IMAX Enhanced help deliver richer color, contrast and detail across movies, shows, and more.
The result is a projector that transitions naturally from daytime entertainment to nighttime viewing.
Every Frame, in Full Flow
While high refresh rates are often associated with gaming, the HORIZON 30 Series puts 4K 120Hz to work across everyday entertainment. The higher refresh rate keeps motion fluid and easy to follow, from tracking the ball during live sports and following fast-paced action in films to gaming with less delay between the controller and screen.
It also gives movies special treatment. The HORIZON 30 Series can display cinema's native 24fps content evenly at 120Hz, helping films retain smooth, natural motion. When it's time to game, low latency and support for VRR, ALLM and AMD FreeSync help make the same screen ready for faster, more responsive play.
Users don't have to choose between a projector made for movies, sports, or gaming – the HORIZON 30 Series is built around all three.
A Big Screen, On Your Terms
The HORIZON 30 Series brings the big-screen experience home without the need for a dedicated theater space, with a flexible design made to work around the room that's already there. Its integrated stand can tilt and rotate, while optical zoom and lens shift provide more freedom to position the picture without requiring the projector to sit directly in front of the screen. Lens Memory can even save up to five custom setups, making it easier to move between everyday TV and ultra-wide movies.
Once in place, XGIMI's Intelligent Screen Adaptation technology takes care of much of the setup automatically, adjusting the picture to fit the screen and its surroundings with minimal effort from the user.
Built-in Google TV puts movies, shows, and streaming apps in one place, while dual 12W Harman Kardon speakers with DTS Virtual:X create a more immersive, surround-like sound experience without the need for additional speakers, bringing the big screen, streaming, and audio together in one streamlined setup.
