Exterior Design

The GAC EMKOO 2025 features a sharp and striking design. Up front, slim headlights complement the integrated grille and front bumper, which house 12 lines forming a V-shape. The hood has streamlined contours that add to the car’s dynamic look. On the sides, the SUV is fitted with 18-inch wheels, while higher trims come with 19-inch variants. Sleek door handles are flush with the body, emerging only when needed. The side mirrors feature turn signals and cameras for a 360-degree view, and a panoramic roof enhances the car’s premium feel. At the rear, bold lines, a sporty wing with integrated brake lights, and faux exhaust vents frame the bumper, with an actual exhaust outlet hidden beneath. The trunk provides 420 liters of storage, expandable by folding the rear seats. Buyers can choose from five exterior colors: Blue, White, Silver, Black, and Gray.
