Scheduled to launch in South Africa in September 2026, we have pricing for the GWM P500 with 3.0-litre turbodiesel. See pricing below…
In our Every bakkie confirmed for SA feature, we highlighted the several new bakkies and derivatives of existing models set to arrive in our market this year. Among the latter was the inclusion of a new 3.0-litre turbodiesel model to GWM’s local P500 lineup. Previewed at the 2026 Festival of Motoring, and with a launch date set for September 2026, we can now confirm SA pricing for the 3.0-litre P500.
As we reported in July 2026, the 3.0-litre, four-cylinder turbodiesel powertrain churns out 170 kW and 620 N.m of torque – the former and latter signifying increases of 35 kW and 140 N.m over the Chinese automaker’s 2.4-litre oil-burner, which is available in the P300, P500, and Tank 300. The larger-capacity unit can be had with the choice of either a 4×2 or 4×4 drivetrain, both of which paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission.

The 4×2 is priced from R724 900, while the 4×4 retails for R799 900 – the latter figure matching what you will pay for the 2.4T 4×4 Luxury model and R90 000 less than the 2.4T 4×4 Super Luxury.

Sporting a 3.0-litre turbodiesel, the GWM places among the few large-capacity double-cab turbodiesel bakkies on sale in the SA market. The latter includes the Isuzu D-Max, Ford Ranger and VW Amarok. As a reminder, the 3.0-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged oil-burner available with the D-Max produces 140 kW and 450 N.m, while the Ford 3.0-litre V6 turbodiesel employed by select Ranger and Amarok models are endowed with 184 kW and 600 N.m.
