Acknowledgment statement about safety GAC August 2026

Australia: GAC Australia acknowledges the concerns raised by customers and industry stakeholders following the recent announcement that seatbelt pretensioners and rear-seat belt reminder systems are not included in the Emzoom Premium variant.

It has since been confirmed that these features are not standard equipment on the Emzoom Premium grade in other global markets, contributing to their exclusion from the Australian specification.

GAC International has now confirmed that both safety features will be reinstated for vehicles produced for the Australian market from Model Year 2027 production, with arrivals expected from November.

Providing vehicle specifications that meet, and where possible exceed, the expectations of Australian customers and industry experts remains a priority for GAC. We will continue to review and enhance our product offering to ensure our vehicles align with market expectations and customer needs.

GAC EMZOOM Premium model

The brand is bucking inflationary trends by introducing the ever more attainable EMZOOM Premium model to its Australian product range, priced from $22,990 driveaway nationwide.

As one of the most affordable new cars available to purchase in the local market, the GAC EMZOOM Premium delivers a focused package with an extremely competitive seven-year unlimited kilometre warranty.

Equipped with a conventional 1.5-turbo petrol engine – as with the already popular Luxury model – this stylish small SUV is also outfitted with a raft of key features including rain-sensing front wipers, artificial leather seats, reversing camera with rear parking sensors, adaptive cruise control, automatic air-conditioning and an expansive 14.6” touch-control central system with CarPlay and Android Auto functionality.

The model also features a selection of key active safety features, including Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist and Lane Departure Warning.

Offering a tantalising proposition for straightforward, stress-free motoring, the GAC EMZOOM Premium derivative is available to order now with vehicles arriving in dealerships in early September.

Full specifications for both GAC Luxury and Premium trims are available below

GAC EMZOOM – Full Lineup Specification

GAC EMZOOM details – November 2025 

Set to join the Australian market in a single luxury trim level, the EMZOOM’s form has been curated by GAC’s global design team to ensure it stands out across an ultra-competitive segment.

Exterior

Immediately, the EMZOOM commands a striking presence thanks to features such as the “Mecha Wing” grille, Laser Eye Split LED headlights and “Light Dart” rear-light signature. Delivering a bold, futuristic look, the model’s broader exterior form is characterised by sharp lines that appear as if they could have been cut by diamonds themselves.

Interior

Inside, the EMZOOM is adorned with more than just your everyday tech essentials. An impressive 14.6” LED central control screen allows users to operate key features such as the driver’s ventilated seat, multi-colour ambient lighting and six-speaker DTS audio system. 50W wireless charging is available on the central console, perfect to power devices utilising the vehicle’s wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto – two modern automotive essentials.

Importantly, key features such as climate control and oversized openable panoramic roof can be operated at the touch of the button – allowing the user to refrain from fumbling behind the wheel while attempting to make these adjustments.

The vehicle’s tech also extends to the outside, with a powered tailgate, rain-sensing front wipers and LED automatic headlights all owing to the vehicle’s daily usability.

Fit and finish throughout the EMZOOM is kept to an exceptionally high level, thanks to GAC’s near three decades of experience in automotive manufacturing. As testimony to this, GAC has continuously held J.D. Powers’ title for Chinese Initial Quality Study (IQS) for eight consecutive years – an accolade that recognises overall new-vehicle quality.

Ultra-reliable and efficient conventional powertrain.

Propelled by a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine, the EMZOOM speaks to those looking for a more conventional solution in their next vehicle. Delivering maximum power of 125kW/170PS and 270Nm of torque, drivers can select from the model’s three drive modes – ECO, COMFORT AND SPORT – to match their needs. The EMZOOM delivers a competitive consumption figure relative to the vehicle’s immediate rivals at 6.6l/100km (WLTP).

Paired with a 7-speed wet dual clutch, the EMZOOM can achieve shift times as low as 0.2 seconds, while the vehicle’s electro-hydraulic control system ensures shift accuracy of over 99% to deliver consistently smooth and stable gear changes.

Safety Features

The EMZOOM features an array of ADAS systems including

• Automatic Emergency Braking,
• Lane-Departure Warnings,
• Adaptive Cruise Control,
• 360° panoramic assisted parking and
• Blind Spot Warning.

Equipped with six airbags, the EMZOOM is also underpinned by GAC’s patented safety design technology to deliver excellent passive safety protection. With the body made of more than 58.9% high-strength steel. While hot-stamped steel (17%) is utilised around the passenger safety cell.

Pricing and warranty information for the EMZOOM will be released, alongside the AION V and M8 PHEV, at GAC’s market launch event taking place on 18 November.
