To celebrate the launch, early customers will enjoy an extraordinary Exclusive Early Bird Promo, which includes a RM4,000 cash rebate along with a complimentary accessory package worth RM10,000*, making the EMKOO an even more attractive choice for Malaysian SUV buyers.

The Early Bird Accessory Package comes with exclusive upgrades such as a 2-Channel DVR with 64GB Micro SD Card, EMKOO Exclusive Kicking Plate, Luggage Tray and Sport Pedals. Buyers of the Premium variant will also receive Vkool Solar Tint and an Electric Power Tailgate, while Premium Pro buyers will be equipped with Vkool Security Tint for added protection. These offers are limited to the first 500 owners under the campaign’s specific terms and conditions(*).

The All New GAC EMKOO, tagged as the Future Styled SUV, is powered by a 1.5TGDI engine paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, the EMKOO delivers impressive and dynamic performance; with an officially tested fuel efficiency of 6.6L/100km (NEDC). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 8.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 190km/h, offering drivers an impressive blend of power and efficiency.

Inside, the futuristic cockpit puts the driver at the center of the experience with a Head-Up Display (HUD) that projects key information directly onto the windshield, supported by a 10.25-inch LCD digital instrument cluster and a 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Beyond its segment-leading trunk capacity of 638 litres, the space can be expanded to 1,586 litres with the rear seats folded, offering flexibility for every journey. The Future Styled SUV also comes equipped with advanced safety technologies including a full suite of Level 2 ADAS, Full Automatic Parking Assist (FAPA), and GAC’s proprietary Adaptive Vehicle Dynamic Control (AVDC), ensuring safety, confidence and peace of mind on every journey.

As WTCA launched its second GAC CKD model in Malaysia, the EMKOO reflects GAC’s and WTCA’s continued commitment to expanding local assembly and long-term brand growth in Malaysia. With this launch, GAC Malaysia is building on the success of the GS3 EMZOOM and further reinforcing its ambition to deliver stylish, high-quality vehicles tailored to local customer needs. First previewed across nationwide roadshows and exhibitions since July, the model has already attracted strong public interest with its futuristic styling, spaciousness, advanced technologies, and intelligent safety systems.

The GAC EMKOO is offered in five distinct exterior colors: Super Star Silver, Graphite Grey, Frost White, and Asphalt Black, complemented by the all-new Star Lake Green; all exterior colours come in a black leatherette interior with red accents. This new colour combination offers a striking balance of sophistication and sportiness, giving buyers a variety of choices to match their lifestyle and personality. Customers will further enjoy peace of mind with a 5-year or 150,000km vehicle warranty and a 7-year or 180,000km engine and powertrain warranty, whichever comes first.

Adding to the excitement, GAC Malaysia announced an expanded comprehensive network coverage of 45 service centres across Malaysia effective from October 2025, ensuring greater coverage, accessibility and convenience for GAC owners. 

Mr. Tan Keng Meng, Chief Executive Officer of Warisan TC Holdings Bhd, said: “The launch of the EMKOO represents another important step in GAC’s growth journey in Malaysia. With the success of the EMKOO local assembly, the extraordinary attractive early bird promotions, improved and expanded aftersales support, the EMKOO is positioned to deliver outstanding value to Malaysian SUV buyers while strengthening GAC’s brand and presence in the market.”

The all-new GAC EMKOO is now available for booking and test drives at GAC showrooms nationwide, with the first batch of customer deliveries beginning immediately.
