GWM will be launching a P-Series bakkie in SA within a years.

Currently GWM has the Syteed5 & Steed6 small pickups.

But the P-Series will be the size of a current Hilux or Ranger.

What is interesting isthe powerplants.

The Diesel seems to just be the 120kW/400Nm Amarok 2.0 with 8 speed Auto - so nothing new.

BUT! for stupid people who prefer the flammable Devil Juice to power them to a fiery death, there's a Turbo Petrol motor.
Great Wall Motors announced a turbocharged 2,0-litre petrol engine will be offered, delivering 140 kW and 360 N.m via a ZF-sourced eight-speed automatic transmission

Remember the ONLY manufacturer to offer Petrol Engined Double Cabs in SA is the Great & Glorious Toyota.
They offer a choice of the indestructible (but under-powered & heavy on fuel) 2.7i & the proven mighty V4 4.0 with single VVTi.

So the GWM will potentially offer 3rd petrol choice which will be arguable lighter on fuel (but probably less reliable)...

The only guy that MIGHT get excited by this bakkie will be Hunter2×4...
