“This special preview event is the culmination of our commitment and hard work, and we invite you to join us in this exciting journey of discovering the beauty of the GAC vehicles,” expressed Warisan TC Holdings Chief Executive Officer, Tan Keng Meng.
The GAC GS3 EMZOOM is available in two variants, Exclusive and Premium-R, with price expected to be below RM130,000. It is also available in four attractive limited-edition colour options – Ivory White, Starlight Silver, Lake Blue and Graphene Grey.
At the same time, WTCA also shared that the CKD version is expected to roll off the production line in Q2 2024 at the Tan Chong Motor Assemblies plant (TCMA) in Segambut, Kuala Lumpur.
Tan shared that the first showroom is set to open in Petaling Jaya by end of February, 2024, followed by five more strategically showrooms located in Glenmarie, Cyberjaya, Seremban, Johor Bahru and Penang by the first half of 2024.
“We aimed to establish over 20 showrooms and service centres nationwide by the end of this year,” Tan revealed.
The GAC GS3 EMZOOM boasts distinctive design elements, including the iconic Mecha Wing Grille, Laser Eye Split LED lights, and Light Dart tail lights, creating a captivating and futuristic silhouette with high-visibility lighting.
Adding to its allure is the Rear Spoiler, which emphasises its aggressive persona. Complementing this is a small ducktail-style spoiler seamlessly molded into the bodywork, a combination typically found in more luxurious and exotic cars. From the Electric Hidden Door Handles to the Crystal Shift Gear Selector, every detail exudes sophistication, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of this remarkable vehicle.
Beneath the hood, the 3rd Generation 1.5T GDI engine promises power and efficiency, while intelligent features like the mid-mounted exhaust and rear flat floor make this car stands out in style and performance. The engine produces 177PS @5500rpm and 270Nm @ 1,400rpm. It has a fuel consumption rating of 5.9l/100km.
Step inside, the GAC GS3 EMZOOM continues to impress with its large and spacious interior, featuring a dual-tone interior that adds a youthful flair and enhances the overall ambience with its contemporary design. Its modern and spacious cabin provides an all-rounded, comfy space for both driver and passengers. The interior, a hallmark of premium and luxury, infuses a modern touch, offering advanced technology at your fingertips.
The GAC GS3 EMZOOM is not just a high-performance SUV; it represents the future of driving with its intelligent cabin design, offering a harmonious blend of speed, power, style, space, and smart functionality.
