According to GAC International, the GAC Empow 2.0T performance sedan was officially launched in Kuwait on June 19th at a ceremony held in the Avenues Mall, a key landmark in the nation’s capital.
The newly launched Empow 2.0T is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine that produces 265 horsepower. Official data shows the performance sedan can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.7 seconds.
GAC states that the car also features a track-level chassis tune and an optimized suspension and steering system, making it well-suited for both city driving and Kuwait’s desert terrains.
The 2024 model of the Empow was officially launched in China last May, featuring upgrades across five major areas with 12 new equipment enhancements, including Michelin R18 performance tires and a front suspension strut tower brace.
