Just as it was about to applaud its recent sales of 1,500 GS3 Emzoom units last June, GAC Motor Philippines, in collaboration with its distributorship partner, Astara, now has even more reasons to celebrate. It has now exceeded the 2,500-units-sold mark of its popular subcompact crossover in the Philippines.
GAC MOTOR ended its October performance with retail sales of 300 units, including 215 of the Emzoom, thus totaling 2,513 Emzoom vehicles sold since its launch in the country last June 30, 2023. A remarkable addition of 1,000 units had been sold in about four months since reaching a 1,500 sales mark on the eve of its June 2024 launch anniversary.
“It had not been so long ago when the GAC Motor Philippines team was celebrating the 1,500 units sold milestone, and now we are absolutely thrilled to welcome another 1,000 new Pinoys into the Emzoom community. It’s a testament to the growing trust and preference of Filipino consumers for our innovative and high-quality vehicles,” said Franz Decloedt, Brand Head of GAC Motor Philippines, Astara Philippines.
“We’re committed to providing exceptional customer experiences and delivering vehicles such as the GAC Emzoom crossover line that offer outstanding value, comfort, and performance,” Decloedt added.
Besides that, the Emzoom Touring, an upgraded edition of the Emzoom GB variant, was introduced to the local market in August 2024. Refitted to have a sportier visage similar to the top-spec R-Style, but with a more budget-friendly price range, it is also growing popular among customers. Danzen Gabriel, a Lighting Director for a national television network, shared about his new Emzoom Touring crossover, making him the proud 2,500th Emzoom owner.
“After considering various options, I was drawn to the GAC Emzoom’s sporty looks and comfortable interior,” Gabriel said. “Despite being a 5-seater, it feels incredibly spacious, and the ride is incredibly smooth.”
While he also considered another GAC model, the Emzoom ultimately won him over with its unique blend of style, comfort, and practicality.
Gabriel continues, “The Touring is a great daily driver for me, with which I can drop off my kids at school and use it as my main means of transportation to work. People are always drawn to this stunning car, and my colleagues are also considering getting their own Emzoom, too. I’m looking forward to meeting up and joining activities with my fellow Emzoom owners.”
The Emzoom is an affordable subcompact crossover outfitted with a 1.5 TGDI engine, complemented with a 7-speed wet dual clutch transmission (7WDCT), producing 177 PS and 270 Nm of torque.
In addition to that, GAC Motor’s diverse lineup caters to various preferences, featuring the sleek and sporty Empow sedan, the innovative and compact Emkoo SUV, the spacious and luxurious GS8 mid-size SUV, and the practical and family-friendly MPVs—the comfortable and well-equipped M6 Pro and the opulent and refined M8.
To top it off, the efficient and eco-conscious Emkoo Hybrid rounds out the range. Each model is equipped with advanced safety features and state-of-the-art technology, ensuring GAC Motor continues to appeal to discerning consumers who prioritize innovation, style, and reliability.
