GAC Motor concludes record quarter with Emkoo launch at MIAS

-

GAC MOTOR Philippine­s sustains its growth momentum, capping off the first quarter of the year with a new retail sales growth record of 228% (as compared to the same period last year) and the expansion of its line-up in the country. This growth was driven by high demand for the EMPOW sports sedan, the all-new GS8 SUV, the GS4 compact SUV and the GN6 MPV.

True to its promise of bringing in the best and the latest GAC MOTOR vehicles to the country, the company launched the EMKOO, the brand’s newest SUV, as well as the GE variant of the EMPOW during the opening day of the 2023 Manila Internatio­nal Auto Show (MIAS) last Thursday.

The EMKOO: The future, today The EMKOO is an ultra-modern fiveseater compact SUV that impresses with its future-forward design and cuttingedg­e technologi­es, making it the most ideal vehicle for today’s generation. First launched in China in 2022, the EMKOO is the embodiment of GAC MOTOR’s bold and futuristic new look for its global SUVs, underpinne­d by GAC’s Global

Platform Modular Architectu­re and characteri­zed by the brand’s pioneering styling, intelligen­t driving technologi­es and high-efficiency drivetrain­s.

Pioneering Styling

The overall design of the EMKOO is bold, captivatin­g, and futuristic. Inspired by Sci-Fi elements, the industrial aesthetic design is defined by sharp feature lines, angular edges and a dynamic stance that add appeal to the distinct look and headturnin­g presence of the EMKOO.

The front face is borderless and adopts a V-shape grille, which is accentuate­d with sleek LED powered headlights and DRLs. These lights may be programmed to light up individual­ly and sequential­ly to provide a visual experience.

The futuristic vibe continues on the low-nose, high-tail side profile of the car with power mirrors and windows framed by chrome and black trims, hidden door handles that pop out when activated, and a swooping diagonal angle that cuts across the passenger doors. The avantgarde EMKOO sports a fast-back design, adorned with a uniquely-shaped high-level brake light, V-shape formation tail lights and dual vertical twin exhaust pipes. The compact five-seater SUV sits well on its 19-inch multi-spoke wheels, perfectly positioned, balanced and reassuring.

Inside, the EMKOO is highly sensorial. Intelligen­t technology is integrated into the cabin’s interior, which was given attention and texture to give passengers an immersive experience while on the road.

A host of Advanced Driving Assist Systems (ADAS) helps to ensure safe drives with the EMKOO, including Adaptive Cruise Control with Integrated Cruise Assist, Traffic Sign Recognitio­n, Forward Collision Warning, Autonomous Emergency Braking, and Lane Keep Assist, among others.
