Great Wall has confirmed it will unveil its first all-new ute at the Shanghai Motor Show on April 16.
The brand has been selling utes for nearly a decade, though its first generation product was based on a borrowed platform while its current Steed model is essentially a thorough facelift.
The next generation Ute has been developed on a completely new platform to be shared with the HAVAL H9.
The Ute will be available in turbo-diesel engine matched to an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Whilst local specifications and timings are yet to be confirmed, four variants will be released in China – Dual Cab with short and long wheel base options, Single Cab and an off-road adventure model specifically designed for Australia and New Zealand.
Great Wall Motor will preview the new Ute together with other strategic models destined for global deployment, including electric and hybrid vehicles.
