GWM launches work-focused P300 SX bakkie range

GWM has unveiled its new GWM P300 SX range in SA, priced below the regular P300 range. Offered in both single- and double-cab variants, it’s pitched as a value-packed workhorse aimed at private and fleet buyers.

Though marketed as a no-nonsense business tool, all SX derivatives carry a dash of style with a large chrome mesh grille, redesigned bumpers, daytime running lights, front and rear fog lamps, a shark-fin antenna and updated wheel-arch extensions housing 17-inch alloy wheels shod with 245/70 tyres.

Double cabs also get a spray-in bed liner. Available exterior colours include Mars Red, Swarovski Blue, Pittsburgh Silver, White, Grey and Black.

Even single-cab variants ride on smart 17-inch alloy wheels. Picture: SUPPLIED.

Inside, all SX models feature comfortable black fabric seats, cruise control, rear park sensors, hill-hold assist, manual air conditioning and an audio system with Bluetooth and USB connectivity. Standard safety kit includes ABS with EBD, dual airbags, traction and electronic stability control, roll movement intervention and brake assist.

Double cabs fitted with the automatic transmission further benefit from downhill assist, keyless entry, push-button start, drive modes, and electronic power steering. They also add extra safety equipment (also included on manual versions) such as side airbags and Isofix child-seat tethers.

Comfortable interior makes life easier out on the road. Picture: SUPPLIED.

Power across the range comes from a 2.0l four-cylinder turbodiesel engine with outputs of 120kW and 400Nm. In single-cab models this unit is paired exclusively with a six-speed manual gearbox, while double cabs offer the option of an eight-speed automatic.

Customers can choose between 4x2 or 4x4 drivetrains, both offering a maximum braked towing capacity of 2,250kg, with ground clearance measuring in at a useful 227mm.
