The GWM P300LT
Let’s be honest, the modern double-cab bakkie market seems to grow every year: if you want something rugged, capable of tackling any terrain, and packed with features, you’re spoilt for options. But with so many options at hand, the noise can get overwhelming until you realise few offerings balance capability, technology and value quite like the GWM P300 LT.
On the outside, buyers can choose from a variety of striking exterior colours that complement the P300 LT’s bold, beefy and masculine styling anchored by a prominent chrome badge in the centre of the grille. Premium LED lighting and daytime running lights come standard to give it a modern edge. Around the back, the GWM logo is neatly embossed into the tailgate. where GWM has integrated a brilliant, deployable step right into the lowered tailgate, making it incredibly easy to climb up into the massive load bin.
But it doesn’t just look the part. Under the bonnet sits a 2.4-litre turbo diesel engine which is good for 135 kW and 480 Nm of torque. In its nature, it’s powerful, quiet and efficient, delivering immediate low-end grunt to make swift progress, tow and climb with utmost predictability. It’s paired with a standard nine-speed automatic gearbox which is smooth, delivering a more refined and responsive driving experience when you’re underway. It keeps the engine right in its sweet spot, especially at standing-start acceleration.
