With a sporty front grill that means business and a dynamic design, the Steed 5 2.0VGT Double Cab is a handsome fellow.

MOTORING NEWS - Everyone in search of a double cab that's competitively priced yet robust and decked out with great features, needn't look further than the new 4 x 2 or 4 x 4 Steed 5 2.0VGT Double Cab from GWM.

Apart from a myriad of comfort features and sporty appearance, the Steed 5 2.0VGT Double Cab also boasts the powerful 4D20 turbo diesel engine that was developed and designed independently by Great Wall Motors.

This engine made its first appearance in the H5 2.0VGT SUV in 2011 and now lends its distinctive power to the Steed 5 double cab.
Great Wall Motors has always invested in research and development, to which plants around the world testify. The development of the 4D20 turbo diesel engine is further proof of GWM's commitment to innovation.

In 2010 it was the only diesel engine selected as one of China's Top 10 Engines in the Chinese Hearts Awards, which recognise advancements in technology. A greener, quieter and more energy-efficient diesel engine, the four-cylinder 4D20 engine meets EURO 4 emission standards.

FEATURES
It features dual overhead camshafts, high-pressure common rail, variable geometry turbocharger (VGT), NVH noise control, an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system and an automatic valve clearance compensator. Looking at the numbers, the 4D20 turbo diesel engine gives the Steed 5 2.0VGT Double Cab plenty of power, with a maximum output of 110kW at 4 000rpm and a maximum torque of 310Nm at 1 800 to 2 800rpm.

The Steed 5 2.0VGT Double Cab has a 70 litre tank and a six-speed manual gearbox. With a sporty front grill that means business and a dynamic design, the Steed 5 2.0VGT Double Cab is a handsome fellow. Front and rear mud flaps frame the 16" alloy aluminium wheels perfectly to ensure that the double cab walks the talk.

A double insulated load bin protects this hard worker from heavy loads and all the excess baggage you throw its way. Dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, front fog lights and remote central locking keep you and your passengers safe, whilst leather seats, power steering, electric windows and side mirrors, a CD/MP3 player, steering mounted audio controls and individual bucket seats ensure a smooth and comfy drive.

PRICING
The Steed 5 2.0VGT Double Cab has a 3 year or 100 000 kilometre warranty and two year, 24 hour Roadside Assist service and is available from GWM dealers. The GWM Steed 5 2.0VGT is available from R224 990 (4 x 2) and R242 990 (4 x 4). With a brand new diesel engine and a wide array of features, the competitively priced Steed 5 2.0VGT promises exceptional value for money and powerful driving experience.
