[Coverage]  WTC Automotif (M) Sdn Bhd has appointed Jack Lim as GAC Brand Ambassador and launched two new GAC GS3 EMzoom variants

Kuala Lumpur, 2024  – GAC Motor Co., Ltd., a leading automotive brand in China, was founded in 2008. It has built a strong reputation for its line of innovative and exciting vehicles with world-class quality under the GAC brand. With a growing emphasis on global expansion, GAC Motor has targeted Malaysia as a key market, collaborating with WTC Automotif (M) Sdn Bhd (WTCA), a subsidiary of Warisan TC Holdings Bhd, since 2021. WTCA strengthened the collaboration by launching vehicle CKD assembly in Malaysia for the GAC GS EMZOOM Premium R, which will be available in August 2024. WTCA announced at an official event that the 2024 GAC GS3 EMZOOM line-up in Malaysia will be expanded with two new locally-assembled variants, as well as the appointment of popular local celebrity Jack Lim as the GAC brand's first ambassador in Malaysia. During the event announcement, Jack Lim spoke about his personal driving experience with the GS3 EMZOOM.

As living standards improve, so do consumer expectations for automobiles. GAC Motor's brand philosophy of high-quality development aims to provide a customer-centric experience that prioritizes innovation and premium quality. The brand's vision is reflected in its "Fun, Quality, and Friendly" approach to mobility solutions, which creates products and services that improve the lives of their customers.

Positioned as a leading independent high-end automotive brand, GAC Motor's collaboration with Malaysia's WTC Automotive (M) Sdn Bhd (WTCA) to locally assemble (CKD) vehicles aims to strengthen GAC's presence in the Malaysian automotive market. At the same time, with WTCA appointing Jack Lim as GAC brand ambassador, WTCA and GAC hope to use his influence to increase brand awareness and appeal among Malaysian consumers.

Since GAC's introduction into Malaysia, WTCA has been relentlessly focused on brand building, investing in a variety of activities and collaborations to strengthen the GAC brand. WTCA is looking for new collaborations that embody the spirit of the GAC brand and are committed to high-quality brand development while adhering to the brand values of "Where Craft Meets Technology" to provide a fun, quality, and friendly mobile travel experience. WTCA announced today at a well-attended media event that the famous DJ and artist Jack Lim has been appointed as the Brand Ambassador and spokesperson for the GAC brand in Malaysia. Jack is well-known for his dependability and professionalism, making him an ideal and excellent fit for the GAC brand, which places a strong emphasis on values such as trust and quality.

Mr. Tan Keng Meng, CEO of Warisan TC Holdings, stated, "Jack Lim is a well-known professional DJ and artist who has guided many people through their lives as a radio station DJ. The GAC GS3 EMZOOM positions itself as a vehicle that serves as a life companion for individuals striving for success, whether they are a recent graduate embarking on their life journey or a young professional seeking career advancement. The GAC GS3 EMZOOM is intended to support them throughout their journey."

Experience: Durability, Fuel Efficiency, and Affordability.
During the event, Jack Lim humorously described himself as a "frequent traveller" who works up to 18 hours per day: "I'm always out and about for work, driving long distances across the country." Because of this, I need to service my car every two or three months." Given his lifestyle, Jack Lim has three main criteria for selecting a car: "durability, fuel efficiency, and affordability." He emphasized that he is not concerned with the pay for endorsement deals, but he must ensure that the products meet his personal criteria.

"After personally testing the GAC GS3 EMZOOM, I discovered that it met all of my expectations. It has a 1.5L turbo engine paired with a 7DCT (dual-clutch transmission), which produces more horsepower than comparable models. The acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 8 seconds demonstrates its powerful performance while remaining fuel-efficient, which impressed me. Jack Lim also praised GAC for its years of high-performance vehicle production, emphasizing that the brand's commitment to local assembly provides job opportunities for Malaysians while also ensuring a reliable product.

Jack Lim added that, for him, luxury or fancy appearances aren’t a priority, but practicality and comfort are. "The GS3 EMZOOM combines stylish exterior design and a spacious, flexible interior with features like multi-directional adjustable seats and ample storage space. I spend a lot of time in the car, so comfort is crucial. As my body shape, I still feel very comfortable with the seats. Sometimes my assistant drives, and I can take a quick nap, thanks to how stable and comfortable the ride is." Jack Lim jokingly added that when posing next to the GS3 EMZOOM for a photoshoot,” I looked really smart and cool next to it – can't wait for you all to see it!"

The GS3 EMZOOM is GAC's first global CKD project.
The GAC GS3 EMZOOM is GAC's first CKD project in an overseas market, and it represents a significant step toward the company's global expansion. The new-generation GS3 EMZOOM is available in Standard, Exclusive, and Premium R trim levels. It is powered by a 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine that produces a maximum of 177PS at 5,500rpm and a best-in-class 270Nm of torque between 1,400rpm and 4,500rpm. The power is sent to the front wheels via a seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission (7WDCT). This efficient powertrain allows for a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 8.0 seconds while maintaining an average fuel consumption of 5.9 litres per 100 kilometers.

The GAC GS3 EMZOOM's striking exterior design is enhanced by the iconic Mecha Wing Grille, Laser Eye Splid LED headlights, and electric hidden door handles, which give the vehicle a futuristic and aerodynamic appearance. The dynamic front end is complemented in the rear by Light Dart tail lights and a sporty Rear Spoiler, while 18-inch alloy wheels complete the look across all three models.

The GS3 EMZOOM has the longest wheelbase in the compact SUV segment, measuring 2,650mm, and one of the most spacious and comfortable cabins in its class. Drivers are treated to more luxurious touches, such as a leather-wrapped multi-function steering wheel and the signature crystal electronic gearshift. With dimensions of 4410mm in length, 1850mm in width, and 1600mm in height, as well as a 2650mm wheelbase, it is one of the most spacious vehicles in its class.

The GAC GS3 EMZOOM features intelligent technology, including a 10.25-inch touchscreen with Wireless Apple CarPlay™ and Android Phone-mirroring, to enhance the driving experience. With a focus on style, safety, and convenience, the GS3 EMZOOM provides a truly

It was an enjoyable ride. The GS3 EMZOOM is now available starting at RM 103,800 as part of the Rev-up with EMZOOM promotional campaign. For more information, go to www.gacmotor.com.my.

WTC Automotif 宣布林德荣成为GAC品牌大使，并推出两款全新GS3 EMZOOM车型

吉隆坡，2024年——中国领先的汽车品牌广汽（GAC Motor Co., Ltd.）于2008年创立，以创新的世界级品质汽车闻名全球。为扩大国际市场，广汽自2021年起与马来西亚的WTC Automotif (M) Sdn Bhd (WTCA)，即Warisan TC Holdings Bhd旗下子公司展开合作，并于2024年8月推出在马来西亚组装的GAC GS EMZOOM Premium R。  

 

在一场盛大的媒体发布会上，WTCA宣布，广受欢迎的本地名人林德荣（Jack Lim）正式担任GAC品牌大使，并推出两款全新本地组装的GS3 EMZOOM车型。这标志着广汽品牌在马来西亚市场的进一步扩展。林德荣在活动现场分享了自己对GS3 EMZOOM的驾驶体验，并表达了他对这款车的高度评价。

高品质与创新并重，满足消费者新期待

随着生活水平的提升，消费者对汽车的要求也愈加严苛。广汽始终秉持“趣、质、亲””的品牌理念，为用户提供以创新和卓越品质为核心的移动解决方案。通过与WTCA的合作，广汽不仅希望巩固在马来西亚的市场地位，也致力于以本地化的方式更好地服务消费者。

WTCA首席执行官陈庆民表示：“林德荣是本地著名的电台DJ、艺人，他的声音几乎每一天都陪伴着大家，也是大众熟悉的艺人，广汽GS3影速也是一款陪伴着每一个人前行、一同奋斗、踏上成功之路的‘生活伴侣’，无论你是刚毕业初出社会或以踏入职场每天为自己事业奋斗，广汽GS3影速都是您最忠实的陪伴者，陪你共同写下精彩的人生故事。”

在活动中，林德荣自称是汽车的“频繁使用者”，经常自侃是只牛的他，每一天18小时都在工作里度过：“几乎每一天我都要外出工作，也要南上北下跑活动，所以汽车的使用率非常的高，两三个月就要进厂维修保养，可想而知我使用车子的频率有多高。”

有鉴于此，林德荣对于车子有三大要求：“耐用、省油和性价比高！”他直言自己从不看代言酬劳，但对于感兴趣的东西都会加以专研，他笑言自己虽然不是汽车玩家，但对汽车同样有深入执着研究和爱好，在接到这个邀约的时候，首先要求亲身体验：“广汽GS3影速可说是达到我所有要求，首先是1.5涡轮引擎配7DCT（离合器）变速箱，马力比同款车辆大，加上百里加速只需要8.0秒，证明了车子的性能非常强劲，同时也非常省油，让我很惊喜。”

全球首个海外CKD项目

GS3 EMZOOM是广汽在海外市场的首个CKD项目，这标志着广汽在全球扩展战略中的重要一步。GS3 EMZOOM提供标准版、专属版和旗舰版三种车型，搭载1.5升涡轮增压发动机，最大输出功率177马力，扭矩高达270牛米。7速湿式双离合变速箱确保了出色的加速表现，并实现百公里5.9升的低油耗。

GS3 EMZOOM的轴距达到2650毫米，车内空间在同级车型中表现优异，车长4410毫米，宽1850毫米，高1600毫米，提供极致舒适的驾乘体验。此次发布的促销活动中，该车型售价从RM103,800起，并附赠5年或15万公里的保修服务。前2,000名车主还可享受7年或18万公里的发动机延长保修服务。
