GAC GS3 Emzoom Now Open For Booking; Expected Price Below RM130k
WTC Automotif (M) Sdn Bhd (WTCA) has opened the all-new GAC GS3 Emzoom for booking. The GAC GS3 Emzoom is locally assembled and is available in 2 variants i.e. GS3 Emzoom Exclusive and GS3 Emzoom Premium-R. According to Tan Keng Meng, CEO of Warisan TC Holdings, WTCA’s parent company, the company expects the retail price to be below RM130,000.
In May 2023, WTCA had announced that it will spend over RM60 million to kickstart a CKD (completely knocked down) programme for GAC Motor vehicles, investing in machinery and upgrades to the Tan Chong assembly facility in Segambut. The CKD units are set to roll off the production line in Q2 2024.
The GAC GS3 Emzoom carries distinctive design elements, including angular and chiselled body panels, a “Mecha Wing” grille, Laser Eye split LED lights, and Light Dart tail lights. Standard design features include electric flushed door handles, rear roof spoiler and ducktail spoiler as well as a crystal gear selector.
Beneath the hood sits a 3rd generation 1.5L turbocharged GDI engine which delivers 177 PS (175 hp) @ 5,500 rpm and 270 Nm @ 1,400 – 4,500 rpm. The engine is mated to a 7-speed wet dual clutch transmission and offers a fuel consumption rating of 5.9l/100km. 
This SUV sits on a 2,650 mm wheelbase and has a body measuring 4,410 mm long, 1,850 mm wide and 1,600 mm tall. Inside, the GAC GS3 EMZOOM uses a dual-tone design for a modern ambiance.
You can now book the GAC GS3 Emzoom for a fee of RM1,000. The first 100 customers to book will receive an exclusive invitation to a private event. There will be 4 colours available i.e. Ivory White, Starlight Silver, Lake Blue, and Graphene Grey.
WTCA will be holding exclusive previews in the Klang Valley from 2 – 8 February.
The company is also expected to open its first showroom in Petaling Jaya by the end of February 2024. This will be followed by 5 more strategically located showrooms in Glenmarie, Cyberjaya, Seremban, Johor Bahru, and Penang by the first half of 2024. Its goal is to establish over 20 showrooms and service centres nationwide by the end of the year.
