GAC’s resurgence at the height of the pandemic can be credited to its lineup of stylish and value-for-money offerings. Its real bread and butter throughout those years, however, was the GS3 Emzoom.
The subcompact crossover made a name for itself as one of the more popular Chinese models in the market. Now, as GAC International Philippines takes over, it is now launching the updated version of this popular nameplate.
Now being dubbed as just the GAC Emzoom, the 2026 version lands with familiar sleek styling but with a more striking and tech-loaded interior. The cabin features a standard black and blue finish, with a masive 14.6-inch infotainment system on the dash. Opt for the range-topping variant and you get an additional 50W wireless charging pad, parking-assistance features, and blind-spot video-driving assistance.

Mechanically, the 2026 Emzoom remains unchanged. It still packs a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine that puts out 174hp and 240Nm of torque. This comes mated to a seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission that sends power to the front wheels.
Two variants of the Emzoom are available upon launch, with lower GB variant priced at P1,059,900. The R-Style still sits as the top-spec trim with a P1,159,900 SRP. Exterior color options for both Emzooms are namely: Graphene Grey, Ivory White, Moonlight Grey, and Superstar Silver. You can check out the prices below.
