Emkoo in 2026 — what's new
The GAC Emkoo carries into 2026 unchanged, with no 2026-specific revision announced. The Malaysian range remains the Premium and Premium Pro, both using a 1,497 cc turbo petrol engine producing 175 hp, driving the front wheels through a wet dual-clutch automatic transmission. Local CKD assembly is part of the model’s Malaysian introduction, and the Emkoo has a five-star ASEAN NCAP rating.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the Premium at RM123,800. It has the same 1,497 cc, 175 hp turbo petrol powertrain, front-wheel drive and wet dual-clutch automatic as the Premium Pro. The Premium Pro costs RM133,800, so the RM10,000 gap buys the higher trim’s power tailgate and auto parking. Pay more if those parking and loading conveniences matter to you; otherwise, on paper, the Premium delivers the same mechanical package.

Verdict
The Emkoo brings a 175 hp turbo petrol engine, five seats and a five-star ASEAN NCAP rating to the C-segment SUV class. Its entry price sits close to the Mazda CX-30’s RM122,409 starting point, but above the Proton eMas 7, Proton X70, Jetour Dashing and iCaur 03. The Premium is the rational starting point, while the Pro’s case rests on its convenience equipment.
