GAC Emkoo Premium vs Premium Pro
Verdict
The GAC Emkoo Premium is the cleaner buy on the numbers. The RM10,000 gap buys no listed change to the 1.5 litre petrol engine, with both variants making 175 hp and 270 Nm, driving the front wheels through the same wet dual-clutch automatic. They also share the same 8.8-second 0-100 km/h time, 190 km/h top speed, 638-litre boot, six airbags and five-year warranty. On paper, you are paying for trim, not mechanicals — check the equipment list before moving up.
Pick the GAC Emkoo Premium if you want the same engine, performance, space and safety items for RM10,000 less.
Pick the GAC Emkoo Premium Pro if its extra trim content, once checked in the equipment list, matters more to you than the identical mechanical spec.
