GAC Motor's official showroom in Cyberjaya, Selangor is now officially open for business.

The 4,434-sqft showroom, which is open daily from 9 am to 6 pm, is run by Evo Cartech Sdn. Bhd. who is an appointed dealer of GAC vehicles in the area.

This is the first GAC Motor showroom in the Klang Valley to be managed by a third party dealership as the others are handled by official distributor WTC Automotif (M) Sdn. Bhd. (WTCA) - a subsidiary of Warisan TC Holdings Bhd.

"We are the new kid on the block in the automotive industry and we are grateful and honoured to have the support of distributors like WTC Automotif (M) Sdn. Bhd. (WTCA) to hold our hands as we begin our automotive venture this year," said Evo Cartech director Ng Tian Poh at the opening of the showroom.

Evo Cartech is a wholly-owned subsidiary of parent company Evolution Autotech Sdn. Bhd. whom Ng is also director of - the latter also encompasses Evo Mobility Sdn. Bhd. which deals with Nissan vehicles at the recently opened outlet in Autoville Cyberjaya.

"With GAC Motor, Evo Cartech is poised to provide the automotive needs of the residential and working population here in Cyberjaya.

Ng explains that Cyberjaya is ripe with potential given its strategic and mature location to tap into a wider customer base.

"Built as an IT hub for Malaysia in 1997, this 7,000-acre city that is just 20 minutes away from Kuala Lumpur has grown into a global technology hub, housing over 140,000 people, and this population is expected to grow to 350,000 in 2039," said Ng.

The showroom houses the newly launched GS3 EmZoom sports utility vehilce (SUV) that is available for test drive and the first Wau Coffee operating outlet that aims to elevate the lifestyle experience for GAC Motor customers.

Distributed by WTCA in Malaysia, the newly launched GAC GS3 EmZoom SUV is powered by 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 177PS and 270Nm of torque. Its key highlights includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) safety features.

The GS3 EmZoom is available in Exclusive and Premium R variants, officially priced at RM118,900 and RM128,900 respectively.

Both come with four body colours: Salt Lake Blue, Ivory White, Graphene Grey and Super Star Silver.

WTCA is offering a special launch package for the first 2000 early birds registered customers to commemorate the model's official introduction.

The package consists of: Three times complimentary scheduled service maintenance includes labour, parts and lubricants; a 7-year or 180,000km engine and powertrain warranty exclusively for the first registered owner of the vehicle in addition to its standard 5 years or 150,000km warranty; and a complimentary limited GAC Smart Watch Key, which functions like the original car key with the additional connectivity features of a smart watch.
