Salvador Caetano South Africa, the official distributor of GAC Motor in South Africa, has officially thrown down the gauntlet in the compact SUV segment. Say hello to the all-new GAC Emzoom Nova, a head-turning, tech-packed crossover priced at a jaw-dropping R359,900.

The GAC Emzoom launched in South Africa in August 2024, has add a new model to its Emzoom range, alongside the Emzoom Executive and the Emzoom R-Style, GAC South Africa now welcomes the all-new GAC Emzoom Nova.

Built for drivers who refuse to compromise, this exciting new variant tears up the old rulebook, delivering premium futuristic styling, sports-car acceleration, and absolute, unmatched value for money.

Class-Leading Muscle Meets Eco-Friendly Hustle

The Emzoom Nova packs a serious punch. Under the hood screams GAC’s advanced Third-Generation 1.5L Turbocharged Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engine:

  • Pure Performance: Unleashes a massive 130 kW of power and 270 Nm of asphalt-gripping torque.
  • Track-Tested Sprint: Races from 0-100 km/h in an 8.0 seconds’ flat.
  • German-Engineered Precision: Power flows seamlessly through a high-performance German Schaeffler 7-speed Wet Dual-Clutch Transmission (7WDCT) that drops shift times to a microscopic 0.2 seconds while maintaining a flawless 96% efficiency rating.
  • Fuel-Sipping Economy: Despite the heavy-hitting power, it boasts a highly efficient fuel consumption of just 6.2L/100km.
  • Mood-Adapting Drive Modes: Switch up the vibe instantly with an electronic gearshift and 3 distinct driving modes: Eco for effortless fuel efficiency, Comfort for your smooth daily cruise, or Sport for an aggressive, ultra-responsive powertrain and steering wheel thrill.

“Star Diamond Shadow” Design: Turn Heads.

The Emzoom Nova doesn’t just arrive; it makes an entrance. Embracing GAC’s striking “Star Diamond Shadow” design language, it commands the road with a fierce, redesigned front grille and razor-sharp geometric lines highlighted by LED Daytime Running Lights.

The exterior drama gets dialled up with premium, aerodynamic hidden door handles that automatically blend into the bodywork and newly designed, aggressive 17-inch alloy wheels. Express your style with a palette of ultra-modern body colours: the fiery new Fast Red, Graphene Grey, Moonlight Grey, Star Silver, Solid White, or the electrifying Galaxy Lilac.

Step Into the Cockpit of the Future

Inside, the Emzoom Nova flips the script on traditional, basic entry-level interiors, welcoming you into a spacious, high-tech sanctuary:

  • Premium Seating: Sink into custom-crafted, ultra-supportive Synthetic Leather + Fabric combination seats.
  • Unmatched Space: Enjoy massive passenger space with generous legroom and a highly versatile cargo area ready for any adventure.
  • Next-Gen Connectivity: Anchor your drive with a crystal-clear 10.25-inch HD touchscreen display.
  • Standard Tech Weaponry: Seamless Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, intelligent Remote Start Function via your key fob, Keyless Entry, an Electronic Parking Brake, and a multi-function steering wheel with Cruise Control.

5-Star Safety with an Unmatched Value Knockout

Peace of mind comes standard. Engineered on the heavy-duty GAC Mega Chassis, the Nova is constructed with a 58.9% high-strength steel body cage and state-of-the-art crash tech, earning a flawless 5-Star ASEAN NCAP Safety Rating. Standard driver guards include Rear Parking Sensors and Hill-start Hold Control.

To seal the deal on the ultimate ownership proposition, Salvador Caetano South Africa includes an incredible Lifetime Engine Warranty for the first owner and a standard 2-Year / 30,000 km Service Plan.

To truly send the star of the show into orbit and live up to its super-NOVA identity, GAC South Africa has officially named and registered an actual star in the night sky as “GAC EMZOOM NOVA“! Registered via Star-Registration.com (Registry Number: 1124-15464-2693664), this celestial powerhouse shines with a magnitude of 6.42 and a B3V spectral type, ready to be spotted at coordinates RA/DEC: 10h 13m 21.2s -61° 39′ 31.8”!

The revolution is here. The GAC Emzoom Nova is officially ready for deployment across Salvador Caetano’s rapidly expanding nationwide dealer network. Stop settling. Start zooming.
