In addition to these brands, the GCA group is primarily the leading distributor of Toyota / Lexus brands, with 10% of total sales in France (94,052 VN in 2017, Ed), two panels with which it had further developed the last year by buying the concessions of North and South Nantes, Toyota Redon and Toyota Saint-Nazaire. Finally, the group also distributes the Hyundai brand, of which it is also the second national operator.
