The 2024 GAC GS3 EMZOOM lineup now includes the locally-assembled Standard and Exclusive variants, joining the range-topping Premium R, completing WTCA’s localisation project for the B-segment SUV. Initially introduced in Malaysia in April 2024 as a fully imported model, the updated GS3 EMZOOM now offers a wider range of features, delivering a powerful and efficient performance across all variants.
Under the hood, the GS3 EMZOOM range is powered by a 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbocharged engine, generating an impressive 177PS at 5,500rpm and a best-in-class 270Nm of torque. This engine is paired with a seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission (7WDCT), offering brisk acceleration with a 0-100km/h time of 8.0 seconds. Alongside its strong performance, the GS3 EMZOOM achieves a remarkable fuel economy of just 5.9 litres per 100km, meeting Energy Efficient Vehicle (EEV) standards.
All GS3 EMZOOM models feature bold design elements such as the Mecha Wing grille, Laser Eye Split LED headlights, and sleek electric hidden door handles. The rear end is highlighted by Light Dart tail lights and a sporty spoiler, with 18-inch alloy wheels across the range. The Premium R variant further distinguishes itself with an R-Style Sport Package and R-Style Exhaust for added flair.
Inside, the entire GS3 lineup offers a spacious cabin with a contemporary blue-and-black interior theme. The 2,650-mm wheelbase provides class-leading comfort, complemented by advanced technology features. Standard across all variants are a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android mirroring, an electronic parking brake with auto-hold, and Blind Spot Vision (BSV). The Premium R variant adds a range of luxury features, including automatic headlights, High Beam Assist, Fusion Automatic Parking Assist, a six-way power-adjustable driver seat, ambient lighting, wireless smartphone charging, a hands-free power tailgate, and a panoramic sunroof.
