Everyone in the world desires a SUV that has good gas mileage. But the most challenging part is finding the right SUV. Nonetheless, GAC MOTOR has tried to be at the helm of the best gas mileage SUV production. And, in 2023, they are still going through the GAC MOTOR GS3 POWER models. These trim designs allow them to only consume 6.5L of gas for every 100km graced. But there's more.
Since overweight SUVs consume a lot of fuel, GAC MOTOR GS3 POWER models are designed for compactness. Today, this guide will take you through its body, interior, engine, and safety features to show you how the GS3 POWER braces against poor mileage.
So how about dimensions and weight
To reiterate, the bigger the SUV, the poorer the gas mileage. The GS3 POWER models are a marvel when considering a compact design. Check the dimensions below.

How GS3 POWER Engine Specs are Braced Against Extreme Fuel Usage
Now, the body and interior of this car all try to reduce the workload of the engines. Yet the engines of the GS3 POWER models, whether the 1.5L turbocharged or the 1.5L GDI, are fitted with fuel injectors that minimize the overconsumption of fuels. Also, you will find the GS3 POWER mode speeds somewhat low. Because higher speeds mean fuel wastage, the GS3 POWER may be perfect.
The 1.5 TM engine has a displacement of 1493mL, a maximum power of 120kW at 5500 rpm, and a maximum torque of 235N·m at 1500-4000 rpm. The car comes with a 6MT transmission with a fuel consumption rate of 6.1L/100km.
1.5TGDI
On the other hand, the 1.5TGDI engine has a displacement of 1495mL, a maximum power of 124kW at 5000 rpm, and a maximum torque of 265N·m at 1700-4000 rpm. The car comes with a 6AT transmission with a fuel consumption rate of 6.5L/100km.
The GS3 POWER's suspension system includes a front McPherson independent suspension and a rear twisting beam suspension. The car also features front-ventilated disc brakes and rear-disc brakes. The steering system is electric power steering (EPS).
How GAC GS3 Power Body Contributes to Better Gas Mileage
You may have noticed the GAC MOTOR in shades of Icy blue, moon gray, starry gray, and ivory white. Well, in its entirety, it's optimized the GS3 POWER models for fuel efficiency. The models feature sleek grilles, aerodynamic bodies, and headlamps that minimize drag while the SUV moves. In return, this reduces the extra fuel that would have been consumed with the drag.
Moving on to the LED headlamps and fog lamps, you'll discover they are energy efficient compared to traditional halogen lighting. Then, the GS3 POWER has defrosting features on its mirrors, impacting its aerodynamics.
How the GAC GS3 POWER Interior Contributes to Less Fuel Consumption
Did you know that the interior of a car can impact mileage? It all comes down to the air conditioners. They usually run on fuel, and the number of times it's turned on or running duration may result in poor mileage. So, how are the GS3 POWER models handling this? Well, the GS3 POWER models indeed have air conditioners. But you will rarely use them since the manually adjustable windows have ventilation.
Again, the heat-reflecting mirrors and windshield reduce heat transference to the inside. These features enable the GS3 POWER models to use the air conditioner rarely, thus saving fuel rarely. Either way, the GS3 POWER is still designed for comfort, having 6 to 4 adjusting leather seats that can be bent to accommodate cargo.
The canister holders on the back seats should be noticed too. Then the infotainment comes with a 7-inch Color LCD Multi-Information Display and a 10.25-inch Touch Screen Display. The GS3 POWER still allows Bluetooth functions and GPS and USB.
Final thoughts
The GS3 POWER is an ultimate fuel saver. The fun continues since the safety aspects of the vehicle also reduce braking drag, reducing fuel wastage. Its anti-lock brake system (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC), hill-start assist, and tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) enhance the car's stability while reducing gas consumption. The GS3 POWER combines power, performance, and comfort with a fuel-efficient approach. It's the perfect go-to if you are an economist.
