Review: 2023 GAC EMKOO 1.5T GL

It’s hard to take a car called “EMKOO” (yes, it’s properly stylized in all caps) seriously. At first, you’d think it’s some shoddy cosmetic brand you get at a tiange or maybe it’s the name of the latest boba pearl or yogurt drink fad from God-knows-where. Whatever mental image you come up with, the last thing you can think of is a car. But here it is. It’s the second in GAC Motor’s “Shadow” series (after the EMPOW); does it drive as well as it looks? Read on.

Honda’s model naming convention is getting a bit confusing. First, there’s the “Vezel”—a JDM model that countries like the Philippines gets as the “HR-V.” Don’t make the mistake of calling this “HR-V” an “HR-V” in North America though. They get something completely different, and that one’s known as the “ZR-V” elsewhere in the world. To make things even more confusing, there’s this: the JDM version of the Honda WR-V.

This is the all-new 2025 Subaru Forester. We kid you not. Despite looking like a devolution of the current-generation model, the entire sheet metal is new.

If there’s one thing you could say about the Honda CR-V is that it’s comfortable in its own skin. In each of its six generations, there was little need to reinvent the basic recipe. Whereas its competitors all tried to reimagine themselves, this compact SUV stuck to its guns of being a practical, family-friendly compact SUV that happens to be a great all-rounder. This has allowed Honda to carefully refine the formula, improving its strengths, while reducing or eliminating its weaknesses in the process. There’s a Japanese term for that—Kaizen—and the all-new CR-V is an embodiment of that.

The Honda CR-V is essentially doing double duty for Honda. Aside from having to compete against other five-seater compact SUVs, with no mid-sized SUV or pickup-based passenger vehicle (PPV) in their line-up, Honda has opted to offer it with three rows of seats on two of the three available trims.
