The first was Ford with the Territory SUV, but now GM is importing and already assembling the Spark here. Stellantis has established a partnership in China with Leapmotor and is already selling its cars here as well.

And it joined with the Chinese Xpeng, so technological that it even makes “cars that fly”, but it has not yet landed here, as Volkswagen has only announced hybrid cars for this year, for now.
