jul 23, 2010 - 2010 GTH Automotie Embark Sport 2.1

Description:

In midsummer 2010, GTH Automotive launched a small SUV called "Embark". It was released in two trims:

- Embark Sport 2.1
- Embark All-Terrain

As the name implies, one is a sporty version for the street, and the other one a all-terrain adventure machine! Both trims share the same base 2.1L turbocharged inline 6 engine and a AWD system, but that's about it for the similarities.

This, the Sport 2.1 trim, makes just shy of 250 horsepower and weighs under 1.2 ton. Gearbox is a 6 gear manual and it's pretty quick. 0-100kmh is 5.27sec and top speed 214kmh. It's got a rather low ride height and sporty suspension.

It scores remarkably well on crash testing and fuel efficiency, and became immensly popular.

Price at launch in 2010:
$32.200
