Is the Emkoo a Domestic Model?
2 Answers
Emkoo is a domestic model, built on GAC Motor's GPMA platform, serving as the first sports sedan under this platform. It is positioned in the compact segment with an impressively low drag coefficient of 0.26Cd. Below are the details about the GAC Emkoo: 1. Exterior: The GAC Emkoo adopts the "Light Sculpture Surface" design language, offering two exterior styles: Sport and Luxury. Specifically, the Sport version features a large hexagonal front grille with a vertical waterfall-style design. The grille also includes two blue polygonal decorative elements resembling fighter jet air intakes, accented with carbon-fiber-like materials. 2. Powertrain: The Emkoo is equipped with the all-new third-generation 1.5T-GDI engine from the "Ju Lang Power" series, delivering a maximum power of 130kW and peak torque of 270N·m. Centered around GCCS technology, it integrates dual-flow turbocharging, top-mounted water-cooled intercooler, high-pressure injection, large-inertia balance shaft, intelligent thermal management, and low-friction technology, achieving a fuel consumption as low as 5.7L/100km. The transmission boasts a 96% efficiency with a shift time of just 0.2 seconds. In 0-100km/h acceleration tests, the fastest recorded time is 6.95 seconds.
As a car enthusiast, I'm quite familiar with automobile brands. The Empow is indeed a domestic model produced by GAC Trumpchi, which is a well-established Chinese automaker. Last year, I had the chance to test drive the Empow R version – it boasts a sporty design, quick acceleration, stable handling, and an affordable price tag of just over 100,000 RMB, making it perfect for young drivers. Domestic car manufacturers have made remarkable progress in recent years. For instance, the Empow has even competed in the CTCC racing series, proving that Chinese brands can rival foreign ones in terms of technology and performance. Personally, I think supporting local businesses is fantastic. With the Empow, you don't have to worry about maintenance issues thanks to its extensive after-sales network, and you get to experience authentic local style.
