GWM, one of the better-established Chinese importers in South Africa, has just released its new Steed 5 single cab.
Two engines and two drivetrains are available. It starts with a 2,4-litre petrol engine that drives only the rear wheels for R149 990 and ends with the 2,5-litre TCI diesel engine with 4×4 capability for R189 990. Both engines are available in 4×4 or 4×2 format.
The diesel engine delivers 80 kW at 3 400 r/min and 300 N.m between 1 800 r/min and 2 600 r/min. The more powerful petrol derivative boasts 100 kW at 5 200 r/min but less torque, with 200 N.m at 4 000 r/min.
Features on the single cab include air-conditioning, electric windows and electric mirrors.
For those who like to be kept company while in the driver’s seat, the single cab also offers a radio/CD/MP3 player with steering-mounted controls. More importantly, this bakkie features ABS with EBD and dual air bags.
