If previously the few pickup fans who watched the Great Wall Poer chose from two trim levels, now there’s a third. Although it’s not quite correct to say that, because Comfort with a manual transmission is no different than Comfort with an automatic – except perhaps for the transmission itself. The list of equipment is absolutely similar: a rear view camera, a simple air conditioning, manual seat adjustment.
“Mechanics” is aggregated with the same two-liter “diesel” that produces 150 hp and 400 Nm of torque. But the fuel consumption of this version is higher: in the urban cycle – 11.5 liters versus 10.9 liters for the “automatic”. But you can save on the purchase: for Poer with a manual gearbox, dealers ask from 3,449,000 rubles, with an automatic transmission – from 3,599,000. If the soul asks for a richer achievement – the Premium package – then you will have to pay at least 3,749,000 rubles.
Obviously, by introducing a new slightly more affordable version, Great Wall is trying to draw the attention of the Russians to its completely unclaimed models. And they really aren’t for sale: Since the beginning of the year, for example, Haval dealers have managed to “mount” just 555 GWM pickups, according to the Association of European Businesses (AEB). Of the brands that have not suspended operations in Russia, only GAC is doing worse – they have sold 270 cars.
