BAODING, China, Dec. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Recently, GWM pickup 
(https://www.facebook.com/GreatWallMotorGlobal/videos/319287249867529/) 
announced at the Auto Guangzhou 2021 that its total global sales exceeded two 
million units, which made the brand become the first Chinese pickup brand 
achieving such sales performance.

The pickup truck is the first vehicle type produced by GWM, and according to 
official statistics, GWM pickup has seen rapid sales growth for many years. Its 
global sales in 2019 were 148,830 units, up 7.85% year-on-year. In 2020, such 
sales soared by 51.2% year-on-year to 225,000 units. Particularly, GWM POER, 
Wingle 5, and Wingle 7 became the top three in single model sales in the global 
pickup market. This year, GWM pickup sold 187,000 units in just three quarters, 
and especially GWM POER has sold more than 10,000 units in 16 consecutive 
months.

GWM pickup has received widely praises from many international auto media, 
which is an important reason behind its increasing sales growth. In a 
professional off-road test drive in Russia, the local professional auto media 
Auto.ru commented that GWM pickup is superior to other pickup brands in driving 
quality, excellent handling and off-road performance. Bakkie & Truck, an 
authoritative South African auto magazine, rated GWM pickup as one of the "Top 
3 Pickups in the World" along with other big pickup brands. This brand was also 
assessed as "one of the most collectible models in the future" by Driven, a 
senior auto media, in New Zealand.

In the global market, many models of GWM pickup have been recognized by 
customers for their excellent performance, laying a solid foundation for its 
sales of more than two million units. Russian customer Burtsev was very 
satisfied with Wingle 7 for its superb load-carrying capacity and reliability. 
"I'm gonna include Wingle 7 in my purchase list," he said. After launch in the 
Middle East market, GWM POER was highly recognized by Bahraini champion racer 
Salah for ride comfort and controllability. "GWM POER has the ability to 
overcome special road conditions, and is a practical choice for family trips 
and shopping," he said with a smile.

As of October 2021, GWM pickup has sold more than 20,000 units for 14 
consecutive months. In November, this brand launched several new models at the 
Auto Guangzhou 2021, including Jingang POER, the concept model super pickup and 
Heidan, paving the way for the further improvement of global sales in the 
future.

For the future expectation, Zhang Haobao, General Manager of GWM pickup, said, 
"By 2025, GWM pickup is going to achieve annual sales of more than 500,000 
units, and rank among the top three in global pickup sales."
