Check out the rear - the spied SUV sports a pair of roof rails and a shark fin antenna. Besides that, note the tail light design and position of reflectors and rear fog lights that resemble those on the GS3 Power.

Still, it's hard to say that the car's certainly launching here - one of the biggest reasons is that distributorship agreements are yet to be signed, and there is so far no company that's been setup to represent GAC in Malaysia.
