GAC MOTOR has been building quality cars in the Chinese market for years. In their effort to produce innovative car brands, they have released several lines, with their most famous car brand being the GS line.
GAC MOTOR creates a pleasant and affordable premium portfolio of vehicles that combines quality, innovation, and sophisticated design. Today we will have an in-depth look at the GS3 and GS3 POWER automobiles. Hopefully, by the end of this article, you will understand which one you should choose that would best serve your locomotive needs.
The GS3 SUV is a stunning 5-seater crossover with a chunky look. The chrome design of its grille is the first thing you will immediately notice when you look at the GS3. The entire front fascia of the GS3 has a chunky design, with the hood line as tall as some of the compact crossover in the local market. It strikes an imposing presence which makes it larger than it is.
The chunky design extends to its sides, making its road presence much more noticeable. Its large windows translate to better interior visibility. The GS3 features power-folding side mirrors with led side repeaters, but you also get a design cue at the front fender that looks like turn signals.
This cross-over SUV gets 18-inch Aluminum Alloy Wheels+225/55 Tires with a direct tire pressure monitoring system. This GS3 unit has led taillights shaped like the infinity symbol giving it a unique look.
The trunk has ample space without 370 liters of trunk space which is decent for people who love to carry a lot of luggage. The trunk is wide and low, making it easier to load heavy cargo without wreaking your ack. And if the 370-liter space is not enough for your luggage needs, you can fold the back seats to create more room.
The interior packs' many goodies, starting with plush padding material that is complimented with soft leather seats. However, the seats are not power adjustable, so you will have to make do with manual adjustments. The vehicle has an 8-inch infotainment screen that's a touch screen.
There is the presence of the rearview camera, but the car doesn’t have an android auto, apple car play; however, you do get Bluetooth connectivity. The GS3 comfortably carries five passengers with a decent amount of legroom. The sunroof and big windows and sunroof give you a nice airy feeling eliminating the need for a panoramic view.
The GS3 has a GAC MOTOR's second-generation 200T engine that generates 101 horsepower and 202 N·m of torque.
The GS3 was formally introduced and received positive reviews from customers. The appearance, settings, and other specifics of the 2022 GS3 POWER have been improved over those of the GS3.
An inverted trapezoidal grille with horizontally expanded chrome strips is present on the front giving it a buff look. At the top side of the grill, there are led headlights designed in an eagle-eye style.
On the new car's sides, little has changed. Only a few features, like the sportier-looking wheels, have been changed, and a sportier trim is designed on the lower sides of the door.
The polygonal taillight design and concealed exhaust have changed. The GS3 POWER’s back compartment, ducktail shape, and roof spoiler are prominent. It features a 370-liter boot, which is spacious and adequate for a small SUV.
The interior features modern screens with seven and 10.25-inch LCD dials design; additionally, it has attractive imitation carbon-fiber trim added to the detailing.
The 1.5T engine's power remains the same and is offered in low- and high-power versions. The high-power variant has a total power of 124 hp and maximum torque of 265 Nm, while the low power model has a maximum output of 120 hp and maximum torque of 235 Nm.
The GS3 POWER is a reasonable option if you're searching for an SUV featuring decent power for family use at an affordable price, in my opinion.
Overall, the GS3 POWER is like a refined GS3 from the design featuring a sportier style and smoother performance.
As for what car you should choose comes down to what you can afford and your needs, taste, and preference. The GS3 is cheaper and easier to maintain, but it feels like a dinosaur next to the GS3 POWER in terms of luxury and comfort. However, not much separates the two when it comes to performance.
