GAC GS3 Overview
The GAC GS3 is a subcompact crossover from GAC Motor, aimed to contest the segment’s growing population in the Philippines. It combines the inherent sporty design of crossovers with the classiness that’s observed with GAC cars. It's based on the GA3 sedan that's yet to enter the Philippine market. Design-wise, the GAC GS3 follows the styling of other GAC cars, particularly the bigger GS4. The wide chrome grille flanks the fascia, connecting both sweptback headlamps with sharp LED daytime running lights. In profile, the GS3 is characterized by a floating C-pillar design. At the rear, the GS3 looks distinctive with its LED taillights in the form of an infinity sign.
Inside, the GS3 has a seamless layout with buttons and knobs that are easy to familiarize with. There are two engine options available for the GS3 in the Philippines: the naturally-aspirated 1.5-liter and the turbocharged 1.3-liter – both gasoline and sending power to the front wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission.
- Launch
-
The GAC GS3 was launched in the Philippines in October 15, 2019 with two variants – the naturally-aspirated 1.5-liter and the top-of-the-line, turbocharged 1.3-liter. The range-topper gets a lot of goodies that GAC can offer, such as an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, 6 speakers, and a wide-angle rearview camera. The lower-tier option, on the other hand, gets a bit more basic but at a lower price.
The all-new GAC vehicle is aimed to contest the growing population of the subcompact crossover segment. The GS3 conforms to what you expect in a small crossover: sporty and youthful.
- Technology Features
-
The GAC GS3 doesn’t come lackluster with technology and convenience features, especially with its top-spec offering. It has an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment at the center of the dashboard, which houses the display of the wide-angle rearview camera. Smart keyless entry with push-start ignition is also standard for the range-topper, along with cruise control, automatic climate control with negative ion air filer, rear-row USB charging ports, electronic parking brake with brake hold, and power-folding side mirrors.
The lower variant, on the other hand, gets fewer tech features but at a lower price point.
- Exterior
-
The GS3 follows GAC Motor’s design language, particularly akin to the design of the GS4. Up front, a wide chrome grille flanks the sweptback halogen headlights with LED DRLs (for the 1.3 trim), while 18-inch alloys can be found on the top-spec variant and the lower trim gets 16-inch wheels. The rear gets a pair of LED taillights in the shape of the infinity sign.
By size, the GS3 is a longer and wider than popular subcompact crossovers like the Ford EcoSport and Suzuki Vitara, while standing almost as tall as the American brand’s competitor. The GS3’s wheelbase is a lot longer than most of subcompact crossovers out there.
- Interior
-
The GAC GS3 features a dark interior theme that is mostly clad in soft plastics, with the exception of some leather and leatherette trimmings found on the range-topper. The lower variant gets fabric upholstery instead.
As its size is bigger than most of its rivals, the GS3 has a huge interior and cargo space. Trunk volume defaults at 370L with the capability to expand to 780L when you fold the rear backrests down. All variants of the GS3 have a 5-person seating capacity.
