SHANGHAI, April 17, 2019 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Great Wall Motors, China's largest SUV and pickup manufacturer, has celebrated 
the world premiere of its P series pickup product line, which includes the 
passenger pickup, a cross-country pickup and a commercial pickup, at Auto 
Shanghai 2019.

The three new stars from GWM's new P series excel in terms of safety, smart 
features, weight, space and expandability. They were developed on GWM's all-new 
P71 platform, a foundational advantage of which is the non-load bearing chassis.

The pickups are equipped with ZF's 8AT gearbox and multi-link rear in addition 
to a series of features to enhance the overall driving and riding experience:

- ACC self-adaptive cruise control, auto hold, automatic parking, remote start 
- Heated steering wheel, controlled air-conditioning, oil monitoring 
- Smart voice control system

The three models are all-in-one designs that combine the comfortability and 
convenience of a sedan, the cross-country capability of an SUV, the leisure 
enjoyment of RVs and the loading capacity of light trucks. The P series 
products are designed for people who enjoy an upbeat, outdoor lifestyle as well 
as high-end business customers. 

The cross-country pickup includes professional configurations including 
differential locks in the front, middle and rear of the vehicle, snorkels, a 
winch, cross-country shock absorbers, crawl control and on-the-spot U-turn 
capabilities. It has a fording depth of 900mm and is one of the most popular 
new releases at Auto Shanghai 2019.

The cross-country pickup also has the boldest and most unconstrained exterior 
design with a thick grey plate running through the front grille and black 
uplift design on the engine compartment cover. The blackened wheel trims and 
front grille plus the rivets on the outside over the wheel trims all showcase 
the model's masculinity.

The commercial pickup, on the other hand, has a more delicate front grille 
design. In addition to the edition with leaf springs rear suspension, it offers 
the option of multi-link rear suspension. The model exhibited at Auto Shanghai 
2019 is an electric version with original closed cargo, nominal range of 500 
kilometers (310.69 miles), and high-efficiency charging, which can be completed 
in two hours.

To fully carry out GWM's clean energy strategy, the new pickups are currently 
offered in the pure electric versions, with the hydrogen fuel versions 
launching soon in the near future.
