2023 GAC Emzoom Review | The Next Big Thing?

GAC is sticking its nose into the subcompact crossover segment, and it's going up against the likes of the Geely Coolray, the Changan CS35, the GWM Haval Jolion, and even the Toyota Yaris Cross. In the thick of it all, however, GAC's Emzoom stands high and above in terms of styling. Does it do the same while driving? We put it to the test in this episode of Behind the Wheel.

Love how the price is moved to the beginning of the video so I don't have to skip to the end, to find out if its worth considering. Thanks AD.

[@ayradeguzman4716]

Sir Caco mentioned that he feels like that the transmission/engine works better in the emzoom than its other siblings. I think this is due to power/weight ratio. Emkoo has the same engine and output as the Emzoom but it is bigger, larger and heavier so the engine/transmission works harder in the Emkoo than in the Emzoom. Either way, GAC is really stepping it up this year with the Empow, Emkoo, and Emzoom. More power to them. 😊

[@JohnCarloLandicho-qf5kn]

saw this in person and really impressed! that 19 wheels is lit! I own GAC GS4 and so far its real good. don't doubt GAC 👍

[@IceMan-yw5ky]

How much is the pricr

[@GBPOGI2]

1.16m

[@psi-eight]

How's the after sales from GAC sir?

[@johneric7556]

One of the reasons why the ride is stiff in this review was most likely due to the tire pressure. 8:30 you can see in the TPMS that the pressure of the tires are around 290 kpa or 42 psi estimated. We reduced the tire pressure on our unit to the recommended kpa (230) or approximately 33 psi and the ride quality was SIGNIFICANTLY better.

[@TechAddict8642]

i agree, ours was also 290 kpa out of CASA, changed it to 230 kpa after 2 days and now way better. I wonder why the plant would release the car with 42psi pressure while the manual recommends 33 only.

[@singhbalr1234]

​@@TechAddict8642Probably to compensate pressure loss of shipping? Just a guess

[@naturalmystic1262]

Yeah same thoughts

[@Rogue_User]

but you're gonna be prone for blow outs on sudden pot holes and increased side wall damage. keep it above recommended.

[@gregtudanca.]

Carwow i believe.

[@ivanlloyddunton1957]

Yes. I agree. I feel good when watching his reviews unlike when watching TopGear PH. They don’t connect to viewers as much as Sir Caco.

[@matthewf.6644]

Test drove this in GAC Ortigas, and maaaan this really is the Coolray killer. Exhaust sound is quite nice. It would've been nice to showcase that in the video, but great review as always!!!

[@dmagulado]

I just bought one. Waiting for my unit. But here I am, still watching Caco review this unit. I hated that AutoIndustriya got their hands on it first. Caco's review is what I am looking forward to.

[@dotnetcoder6578]

I love autodeal, but autoindustria has stepped up their channel and programming. They have a better and more detailed review. The test drive was also great and done in an empty warehouse where vince was able to play with the emzoom.

[@scalemodeltutor9841]

Caco’s one of the great reviewers locally but you don’t have to put others down my friend to make a point. If you hated it, don’t click on it and don’t watch it, turn on “ don’t recommend this channel” it is that simple really, don’t bring your negativity here 😅

[@onepab01]

i'd say Autoindustriya's review is much more detailed. And i liked the way they test drove the car.

[@francogomez5004]

I love both autodeal and autoindustriya,subscriber on both channel,pero Mas detailed .talaga pagkakareview ng autoIndustriya kay Emzoom.. nabitin ako kay Caco.. just my opinion mga boss..

[@noobgamershub]

Did you guys try RIT, for me their not vias , they will say what is pros and cons of the car, they have detailed review, specially if the cruise control is ACC or Not, i watch this to know if it have acc but it doesn't explain here, only Cruise control has been mentioned but did bot say if acc or nor

[@dotnetcoder6578]

Best bang for the buck. GAC in china is also known for manufacturing toyota cars known as GAC-Toyota. It looks like this will be the next big hit after the geely coolray.

[@alananasco8610]

Wow Tnx for the reliable info, plan to buy this, hopefully this year...

Prospect buyers of the GCR and CS35+ may have suddenly put their car purchase on hold after the launch of this Emzoom beast.

we have one 1st batch release, extremely satisfied. Fuel economy was so good we are getting 9-13 Km/L in city and an easy 18-20 in Hiway. This one is so fast as well 0-100 in 7.5sec when you use sport+ and the exhaust sound is something, very cold aircon as well.

I love the Coolray, but this looks great. Legroom of passenger seats seems to be better too, and the power is on par. This can be a serious competitor to the Coolray if marketed properly.

[@MichaelCuenco]

Emzoom Experience in Baguio. Uphill, Downhill, Uphill Stop and Go No Issue at all. Pero nag ka problema ako sa transmission or maybe naguluhan yung computer kalalabas lang ng garahe nag reverse ako super steep yung pag urong ko NO issue smooth akong naka labas at naka pag ready to go uphill around 40-50degree sya so mataas taas talaga sya. I set muna sasakyan sa Park from auto parking. Doon lumabas yung issue nya ayaw umarangkada at mag reverse. After trying mga 10th times naka pag reverse naman at naka drive papanik. Pero bago umabot sa taas muntikan tumigil makina ulit. Na solve ang issue after I turned off the engine completely and started it again.

[@MicahLouisse]

Nagkaron ka na ba ng major issues with the emzoom?

[@federiconavarra2370]

Hi there! cheers from Mexico"!!! I really enjoy your videos! Congrats! In fact now you ve helped me to choose my next car, my Emzoom next month, so thank you!

[@ginomedia]

As someone that uses a Coolray, if this thing has much better fuel economy especially on city crawls, and perhaps better throttle response overall, I think it'll definitely be a coolray killer

[@AzureInnocence]

as a coolray owner also it's high time for geely to get the newest coolray here anyway, they've been sitting on their success for too long

[@brandobandit819]

@AzureInnocence well Sojitz is inutile. Let's not expect that.

[@dp4719]

That Pilot sport tire is overkill , chinese cars are getting better and better

[@lorenzomontes277]

just this car for a test drive, I can say its not for newbie drivers cause theres some kick when you hit the gas. I tried the sports mode man it pulls! You can also start the car using the key as well as opening the windows and sun roof.

[@glpzdmd9259]

I wish the yellow/orange accents on the R models are optional tho.

[@bravemaster99]

You can just wrap it with black or to the color of your taste.

[@KaisiirFlynn]

Very good alternative vs coolray. I’d choose this over coolray because of apple carplay and better audio system built in.

Finally! A review for Emzoom. I was waiting for a YT review since it was launched. My first consideration for my 1st car. Thank you, AD and Sir Caco!

[@aznsolja84]

That's quite normal actually having a tighter suspension specially for a sporty car. My brother has a decked out honda Type R (turbo, brimbo disc breaks, customized exhaust, etc) and judging by your description, it would feel like I was driving his car. And you're right! That's the purpose of a tighter suspension. Not for the faint of heart 😅 well.. atleast it won't do a jack n poy on me and I'll be fine lol. A little jitter won't hurt and I like it better that way, functionality over a little sacrifise of comfort. Planning to get one and I hope I get approved. Having a dual citizenship can be quite taxing here in the philippines.. too much paperwork to do as well as I don't have a local (philippine) bank. Just my US bank. Wish me luck! Can't wait to drive that bad boy up! 😂

[@arbychristopherpanagsagan1015]

The competition is on! China cars are really cheap. But I wonder the after sales service, the maintenance and stuff is still worth it? Any Geely brand users here?

[@mindfreeze0838]

The proportions of the rear give me cx-3 vibes where it just looks like a raised hatchback and the trunk space bears that out, the front looks very intresting however. It also seems to be a thing with GAC where they dont give you paddles on all trims, odd.

[@WheelHeadd]

Yeah. That's the downpoint of this Emzoom. In Empow, they have paddles so I wonder why it's lacking in here. Cost-cut, perhaps.

[@WheelHeadd]

This is my favorite crossover up to this date. Like Emkoo, it looks like an e-car which adds up to its moden design. Sayang, nakakuha na ng GCR tropa just a week before this was launched. Ito sana irecommend ko.

[@jonathanroque8444]
