This will be GAC Motor's official entry into the sports sedan segment, and the EMPOW55 definitely looks the part. The car has slim headlights that feature LED vertical strips, and it has a mean-looking front grille painted in black with its intakes splashed with contrasting yellow accents.

In addition, the sedan's character lines stick out due to the matte paint, and the yellow-painted brake calipers fill out the gaps of its 18-inch wheels. Lastly, the quad exhaust tips and slim LED taillamps round out the sports sedan's aggressive stance.
