WTC Automotif (M) Sdn Bhd (WTCA), a subsidiary of Warisan TC Holdings Bhd, has officially expanded its 2024 GAC GS3 Emzoom line-up in Malaysia, introducing two new locally assembled variants: the GS3 Emzoom Standard and GS3 Emzoom Exclusive. This completes the localisation project for this B-segment SUV, which was initially launched as a fully imported (CBU) model in April 2024. The locally-assembled variants join the range-topping GS3 Emzoom Premium R.
All three variants of the 2024 GAC GS3 Emzoom are powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine that generates 177PS and 270Nm of torque, delivered via a seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission (7WDCT). The SUV accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.0 seconds and boasts an Energy Efficient Vehicle (EEV) certification, with a fuel consumption of just 5.9 litres per 100 km.
Exterior and Interior Features:
- All variants feature bold design elements such as the Mecha Wing grille, Laser Eye Split LED headlights, and electric hidden door handles.
- The GS3 Emzoom Premium R stands out with an R-Style Sport Package and R-Style Exhaust, adding a sporty touch.
- Inside, the cabin adopts a blue-and-black color scheme and offers the longest-in-class 2,650 mm wheelbase, ensuring segment-leading space and comfort.
- Technology includes a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android mirroring, and advanced safety features like Blind Spot Vision (BSV).
The Premium R variant offers additional luxury features such as a panoramic sunroof, Fusion Automatic Parking Assist, multi-colour ambient lighting, and a hands-free power tailgate.
