The company says the price drop is a combination of the better forex rate through to the end of 2024 and a clear indication of GAC Motor’s commitment to the South African market through scaled global cost reduction initiatives, allowing GAC Motor South Africa to pass the benefits directly to the consumer.

GAC Motor emphasises that this adjustment is not as a result of temporary sales support or promotional tactics, but a genuine response to the prevailing market conditions, showcasing the company's transparency in pricing and commitment to fair, customer-centric practices.

“In line with GAC Motor's long-term vision for South Africa, the pricing realignment also comes as part of a larger strategic investment. The company is expanding its national footprint, increasing both dealer networks and service centres to 40 dealers, while introducing new models to the South African market in the coming year,” it says.

"We believe in the power of transparency and commitment to our customers as well as our investors," says Leslie Ramsoomar, GAC Motor South Africa MD. "This price drop for the Emzoom and Emkoo is testament to our belief that consumers deserve to benefit directly from favourable forex movements. This is a win for everyone — from our valued customers to our partners, who will see the fruits of our strategic investments in the market."
