GWM SA has just played another trump card in the SUV segment with the launch of the Hover 2.5 Turbo Diesel Intercooled.
Introduced almost two years ago, the new Hover Diesel builds on the solid foundation laid by its predecessor. GWM has also upgraded the Hover’s petrol engines to Mitsubishi 4G69 engines to ensure a smoother, more powerful ride.
Says Henri Meistre, MD of GWM SA: “We have been awaiting the launch of the Hover 2.5 Turbo Diesel Intercooled with great anticipation and now the moment has finally arrived. Having sold out all Hover stock across the country, we have no doubt that the public will be thrilled by the new Hover Diesel and the upgraded petrol engine range. ”
Fans of diesel engines who value their better fuel efficiency and increased power output are likely to appreciate this new addition.
The engine boasts 300Nm of torque and has been designed to cater for on and off road work and leisure applications. Available in 4x4 and 4x2 derivatives, the intercooled engine ensures that you have sufficient power regardless of the terrain or application. Double wishbone independent suspension in the front and coil spring with multi link suspension at the rear enables sturdy and effortless handling.
Another aspect which has proven popular is the vehicles sporty looks and sleek design. Large, signature headlights are as much a safety asset as a design feature and are supported by integrated driving lights in the front bumper.
Ample loading space on the roof, made possible by the standard fitment of roofracks, allows for convenient stowage of sporting equipment or excess luggage. Reverse park distance control and a sporty rear spoiler aid safety and contribute to the Hover’s overall design.
The spacious genuine leather interior enables the vehicle to be a comfortable family SUV. Air-conditioning, reading lights, a CD/MP3 player, electrically operated front seats and front and rear electric windows are standard features.
Stringent testing has been performed on the Hover to ensure it provides maximum safety in the case of head-on collisions and side impacts. Side impact bars offer optimal protection from all possible side impacts. Advanced ABS/EBD systems, dual smokeless front airbags as well as remote controlled central locking are further crucial safety features.
Priced from R244990, the Hover 2.5 Turbo Diesel Intercooled comes with a 3-year/100000km warranty.
Says Meistre : “I personally invite everyone interested in buying an SUV to test drive the Hover 2.5 Turbo Diesel Intercooled and discover firsthand why it’s such a popular alternative to pricey competitors. ”
