In celebration of the GS3 Emzoom subcompact crossover’s milestone of 1,500 units sold right before its launch anniversary, GAC Motor Philippines, an Astara company, organized a special social drive event for Emzoom owners, from different GAC dealerships in Luzon to Pampanga.
Nearly a hundred GAC Emzoom vehicles set off from various assembly points across Metro Manila, South Luzon and North Luzon, including GAC Motor dealership locations like Alabang, Lipa, Kawit, Bacoor, Santa Rosa, Manila Bay, New Manila, Congressional Avenue, Fairview, Pasig, Marilao, Pampanga, and Tarlac, and converged at Petron Station KM23 along NLEX-northbound. From there, the convoy proceeded to Fabrika Villas in Guagua, Pampanga, where a luncheon featuring a program and games awaited the participants.
GAC MOTOR Philippines is celebrating a significant milestone, having sold over 1,500 GS3 Emzoom units in the country by the eve of its anniversary launch on June 30, 2023. The brand concluded May 2024 with retail sales of 320 units, of which 215 were Emzooms, bringing the total to 1,569 Emzoom vehicles sold since its Philippine debut at the end of June last year.
“To have a big group of Emzoom owners coming together to show their support and enthusiasm for their cars is a spectacle that never ceases to amaze our team at GAC MOTOR Philippines. Hand in hand with all Filipinos, we will forge on to bring transformative mobility options to every corner of the country. Here’s to the next thousands more GAC Motor cars conquering Philippine roads,” Franz Decloedt, Brand Head of GAC Motor Philippines, Astara Philippines, stated.
Several participants also shared their positive experiences about the gathering and their own GS3 Emzoom vehicles.
“We’re gathered today to celebrate our new friendships and ignite a passion about our favorite Emzoom. We get to appreciate the beauty and reliability of our trusty and agile subcompact crossover with each other, and surely there will be more of us at these drive events soon. Buckle up, let’s hit the road and turn every drive into an adventure. We will Emzoom on,” stated Patrick Licup, President of the GAC Emzoom Club PH.
Other Emzoom owners proudly shared their stories:
“It all happened so fast, we just saw it at the mall, and immediately fell in love with it.
And then in two weeks’ time, our family got our hands on our own car. Now, I am a proud and happy Emzoom owner,” Kristian Lugtu said.
Another customer, Jay Vincent Serial chimed in and said, “We were looking for a new crossover for our family’s use. At the Emzoom’s price point and the top features it offers, the competition was not even close.”
The EMZOOM is a price-competitive subcompact crossover outfitted with a 1.5 TGDI engine, complemented with a 7-speed wet dual clutch transmission (7WDCT), producing 174 horsepower and 270 Nm of torque.
