Meet the next best selling crossover in Malaysia, the GAC EMZOOM
This latest GAC offering combines a striking exterior with large interior space, good driving performance and everyday practicality. Young Malaysians are finding this Crossover’s design language very appealing and the very interesting color contrast provided is very dynamic and eye catching.
The body sits high, and is covered with subtle geometric lines, giving the car a sporty yet sizeable character and an overall fluidity of appearance.
GAC Group’s commitment to design really shines through in the unmistakable Flying Wing front grille design, huge spiderweb-esque 19″ alloy wheels, ‘Light Dart’ taillights and large twin rear exhausts.
There are 5 available base colors are available for purchase, including the stunning Salt Lake Blue seen in these pictures and at the car’s media and business partners preview recently.
