The 2026 GAC Emzoom is one of three models included in the brand’s Australian debut, with orders now open. It is offered in a single, well-equipped Luxury trim, and priced to compete with similar small SUVs that provide a broad range of technology and comfort features.
At $25,590 before on-road costs, the GAC Emzoom competes with models such as the MG ZS, Chery Tiggo 4, and GWM Haval Jolion. However, unlike many of its rivals, it is offered only with a petrol engine and no hybrid option.

The Emzoom is priced similar to base-level trims of the MG ZS but packs more tech and performance, while being undercut by the Tiggo 4 and Haval Jolion thanks to ongoing offers. However, the GAC entry to the segment presents itself as an immediate competitor on the value-for-money front.

Market Positioning
The 2026 GAC Emzoom enters a competitive segment with a competitive warranty and an extensive list of standard features for the price tag. Although it lacks a hybrid option and currently meets only the Euro 5 emissions standard, its pricing places it alongside established models such as the MG ZS, Chery Tiggo 4, and GWM Haval Jolion.
The Emzoom’s launch marks GAC’s entry into the Australian market, with more models to follow as the brand aims to build a foothold in the budget-friendly SUV segment.
