GWM UK has re-entered the UK pick-up market with the launch of the POER300, a double-cab model aimed at operators who need a balance of work-ready performance, off-road capability, and modern driver comfort.
Arriving in September 2025 with prices starting from £31,495 CV OTR, the POER300 marks GWM’s return to the sector after the Great Wall Steed left UK showrooms in 2016.
Performance & Work Capability
The POER300 is powered by a 2.4-litre turbo diesel engine producing 183PS and 480Nm of torque, paired to a nine-speed automatic transmission and full-time all-wheel drive with low-range gearing.
-
Payload capacity: 1,000kg
-
Braked towing capacity: 3,500kg
This places the truck on par with key rivals such as the Ford Ranger, Toyota Hilux, and Isuzu D-Max, giving it the muscle for heavy-duty fleet roles.
Off-road work is supported by multiple drive modes—Normal, Eco, Sport, Snow, Mud, and Sand—and a standard electronically activated rear differential lock. With a 27° approach angle, 25° departure angle, and 230mm ground clearance, the POER300 is well-suited for construction sites, agricultural work, and challenging rural environments.
Cabin & Driver Comfort
While designed for hard work, GWM has equipped the POER300 with a high level of in-cab technology. All versions feature a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus wireless phone charging. Premium soft-touch interior materials aim to boost driver satisfaction on longer shifts.
Trim Levels for Fleet Needs
-
Lux: 18-inch alloys, leatherette seats, keyless entry, rear parking sensors.
-
Ultra: Heated/ventilated seats, ambient lighting, privacy glass, sunroof, tailgate step, 360-degree camera.
-
Vanta: Blacked-out exterior trim, wheel arches, and black alloy wheels for operators seeking a distinctive look.
