GAC Launches the GS3 Emzoom/hires Dingdong Dantes as brand ambassador

GAC and distributor Astara are on an aggressive launching streak. Just months after launching the GS8, the Empow and the Emkoo, they're launching a new 5-seater, subcompact crossover, the GS3 Emzoom.

We're starting to see a pattern in their naming convention but we're still clueless as to how they come up with these names

Like the Emkoo, the Emzoom also features very angular exterior styling. It has a bold grille flanked on both sides by sharp looking headlamps. It has an aggressive looking front diffuser. It appears to have large wheels, probably 18s with low profile tires.

It will come in 3 attractively priced variants:

GS3 Emzoom GS: P998,000
GS3 Emzoom GB: P1,098,000
GS3 Emzoom GL: P1,198,000

It will officially launch on June 30, 2023. By then, we'll get the full specifications

Aside from announcing the imminent launch of the Emkoo, they also announced that Dingdong Dantes will be their new brand ambassador.

There are obvious trade-offs but the car will look sportier, long er and wider once it’s lowered. If you plan to upgrade to bigger wheels, lowering the car becomes essential as putting 17in or bigger wheels on a non-lowered car will give the car a “lifted” look. Case in point below: 19in wheels on a non-lowered car Same wheels, same car but it doesn’t look like it’s on jack stands this time. How do I drive a lowered car: You’ll find that driving a lowered car requires a new set of skills that they probably won’t teach you at your local driving
