GAC MOTOR Philippines hosted the grand launch of the All New GS3 EMZOOM at The Blue Leaf Cosmopolitan, Quezon City.
“We are proud to host the international debut of the all new GS3 EMZOOM after its reveal in
China last December. The GS3 EMZOOM is the newest challenger in the scene, set to drive the
GAC brand to new heights and zoom through Philippine roads with its fierce and sporty character,” said Jun Cajayon, brand head of GAC Motor, Astara Philippines.
THE EVOLUTION OF THE GS3
The All New GS3 EMZOOM is the newest version of the brand’s GS3 crossover model, the entry
level vehicle to GAC MOTOR’s line-up in the market. This latest version is an evolution of GAC’s
crossover line, combining striking aesthetics, large space, intelligent technology, and incredible
performance in one package at an accessible price point.
First unveiled in China last December 2022, the GS3 EMZOOM is a trendy and intelligent SUV,
making it the perfect travel companion for today’s generation who are always on the go. It carries
GAC’s bold and futuristic design language, pioneering unique style, advanced technology, and
an efficient drivetrain.
Striking Aesthetics and Large Space
The GS3 EMZOOM’s overall design stems from GAC’s new design language, exuding a sporty
yet futuristic industrial aesthetic defined by angular edges, geometric textures, and a dynamic
stance that definitely turns heads as it zooms through city roads. Completing its look are 19-inch
alloy wheels and a Sporty Body Kit, which is exclusive to the top of the range GL variant.
Its front face features a Flying Wing Front Grille matched with Laser-Eye LED headlights that give
the vehicle its sporty attitude while maintaining its sleek and futuristic appearance. Its sides are
led by arc shadow blades that lead to its light dart tail lamps.
The GS3 EMZOOM’s interior combines its trendy aesthetic with functionality and comfort. Its
futuristic design extends to the vehicle’s advanced technological features including dual screens,
a multi-function steering wheel, leather seats, wireless charging, and futuristic AC vents. A
sunroof with electric shades provides additional daylight and an airy cabin experience. Its wide
cabin also offers more legroom and shoulder space for a comfortable ride.
On top of its undeniably striking visuals and futuristic interior features, the GS3 EMZOOM’s cabin
offers larger space in comparison to its competitors in the sub-compact crossover segment.
Storage spaces and compartments can fit up to 21 items across the entire vehicle, while its
luggage compartment provides an immense amount of cargo space when rear seats are folded
flat. It comes equipped with a power tailgate for added convenience when loading items.

EMZOOM with the latest tech and safety features. The vehicle supports wireless Apple CarPlay
