Exterior
The Emzoom has a futuristic design to it, much like the other crossovers and SUVs in the GAC stable. It has hints of both the Emkoo and GS8’s design, with an aggressive-looking front fascia accentuated by the sleek headlamps and the massive grille with the large vertical slats at the center.
This front end is matched by a rear that features taillights with a rather intricate pattern. Prominent lines and edges can also be found around the exterior, giving the Emzoom a sharp and sculpted look.
In terms of dimensions, the Emzoom measures 4,410mm long, 1,850mm wide, and 1,600mm tall with a 2,650mm wheelbase. The GL variant is a bit longer at 4,446mm. Curb weight ranges from 1,370-1,415kg. The vehicle sits on either 18- or 19-inch wheels, depending on the variant.
Interior
The inside of the GAC GS3 Emzoom can be had with a black and blue or a tan and black finish. The cabin is adorned by a host of soft-touch materials and a plethora of leather to go along with a sprinkle of gloss-black plastic trim on the dash and center console that add to the overall classy look.
This premium-looking interior also gets a large sunroof up top as well as ambient lighting.
