Almost identical to youth Emkoo
The Chinese manufacturer GAC has released a new crossover GS4 Max, positioned as a family car. However, upon closer examination, it turned out that the new product almost completely repeats another model of the brand — youth GAC Emkoo.
GAC GS4 Max is built on the same platform as Emkoo, and the differences in dimensions between them are minimal. The length of the GS4 Max is 4685 mm versus 4680 mm for the Emkoo, the width is identical – 1901 mm, and the height difference is only 20 mm in favor of the GS4 Max (1690 mm). The wheelbase and trunk volume of both models are the same.
The main difference between the crossovers is the design: the GS4 Max is more restrained and calm, which corresponds to the positioning of the model as a family one. Inside, the difference is also minimal and lies in some elements, such as the transmission selector and the design of the ventilation deflectors.
As for the technical stuffing, the GAC GS4 Max has lost the top 2.0 liter turbocharged engine with 252 hp, available for Emkoo, and is offered only with a 177 hp 1.5 liter turbo engine paired with a 7-speed robot. In addition, the family crossover did not receive a hybrid version available for the youth model.
The rest of the equipment of the GAC GS4 Max is completely identical to the Emkoo and includes 8 airbags, L2 level autonomous driving systems, a panoramic roof, heated front seats, electrically adjustable driver's seat, multimedia with a large screen and voice control, and also digital instrument panel.
