Is the Emkoo a domestic or joint-venture car?
2 Answers
The Emkoo is not a joint-venture car. It is a domestically developed vehicle by GAC. Exterior Introduction: In terms of exterior design, the GAC Trumpchi Emkoo adopts the "Light Sculpture Surface" design language, offering two exterior styles: sporty and luxury. The body dimensions are 4700mm*1850mm*1432mm. Specifically, the sporty version features a large hexagonal front grille with a vertical waterfall-style design. Inside the grille, there are two blue polygonal decorative elements resembling fighter jet air intakes, accented with carbon fiber-like materials. Configuration Parameters: The Emkoo is equipped with the all-new third-generation 1.5TGDI engine from the GAC Power series, delivering a maximum power of 130kW and a peak torque of 270N.m. Centered on 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 per 100km. The transmission efficiency reaches up to 96%, with a shift time of just 0.2 seconds. In the 0-100km/h acceleration test, the fastest recorded time was 6.95 seconds.
I've been driving the Emkoo for almost a year now and I'm quite satisfied with it. The Emkoo is a model from GAC Trumpchi, a purely domestic Chinese brand. GAC Group is a state-owned enterprise in China, and the car is entirely independently developed and produced. From design to manufacturing, there's no foreign investment involved. I chose it mainly because of its high cost-performance ratio. Priced just over 100,000 yuan, its performance is impressive, with a 1.5T engine providing ample power and smooth acceleration. For daily city driving, fuel consumption is kept between 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers. The seats are comfortable, and the suspension handles bumps well. As a domestic car, parts and services are very affordable, with 4S stores spread across the country. Compared to joint-venture brands, the Emkoo offers more generous features and a comprehensive safety system. Overall, it's suitable for young people and family use, representing the progress of domestic cars.
