Great Wall Motors Adds Value With New Single Cab Utility

Great Wall Motors Australia has added a single cab model to its Steed range.

Starting from just $18,990 driveaway for ABN holders, the Steed Single Cab will offer Australian customers a proven work tool for the lowest possible price.

“Since we re-launched the Steed nameplate in 2016, we have received strong demand from dealers and customers for the return of the single cab version,” said Great Wall Motors Australia Chief Marketing Officer Tim Smith.

“With a mix of toughness, reliability and value for money, the single cab has always been a popular member of the Great Wall family. At its peak in 2012, the single cab version accounted for 55 per cent of all Great Wall utility sales,” he said.

“Due to the popularity of the Steed Single Cab for small businesses, we are offering driveaway pricing for ABN holders starting at $18,990 for the 4×2 version.”

The 2018 Great Wall Steed Single Cab will be available in two specifications – 4×2 and 4×4. Both will use the same 2.0-litre diesel engine found in the dual cab version, delivering 110kW and 310Nm through a six-speed manual transmission.

The single cab version will come standard with dual airbags, ABS brakes, Bosch ESP stability control, hill hold control and tyre pressure monitoring.

The Steed Single Cab boasts an 1198kg payload, while maximum towing tops out at 1700 kilograms.

It comes complete with a locally manufactured aluminium tray, measuring 2400mm long by 1777mm wide with drop sides for easy access.

Inside, the Steed single cab features comfortable but durable cloth fabric seats, air-conditioning and an auto-dimming rear vision mirror.

The Steed Single Cab is now available in Great Wall dealerships around Australia and comes with a three-year, 100,000 kilometre warranty, three-years’ roadside assist and three years’ service price menu.
