The Bakkie Conversation Has Changed
More power. More torque. More features. Longer warranty.
And serious money left in your pocket. Let me explain.
I spent years selling Rangers. I know what makes a great bakkie — because I was talking to bakkie buyers every single day. Reliability. Power. Capability. A premium interior. Value for money.
The GWM P300 delivers every single one of those things.
When I drove it for the first time I wasn't expecting to be impressed. I was wrong. The P300 is a genuinely accomplished bakkie — refined on the road, capable off it, beautifully equipped inside, and backed by a warranty that no competitor comes close to matching. This isn't a compromise. This is a smart decision. Let me show you exactly why. 👇
Every derivative includes 18" alloys, 12.3" touchscreen, Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, spray-in bedliner and the full 7-year ownership package
The Workhorse
Built purely for business. The SX runs a 2.0L turbo diesel producing 120kW and 400Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual or 8-speed automatic. Available as a single or double cab in 2WD or 4WD. Tows up to 2 250kg braked. This is the bakkie that earns its keep on the job site, farm or worksite — day in, day out.
The Smart Entry Point
The LS is where the 2.4L 135kW / 480Nm engine and 9-speed auto begin. Standard features include leatherette seats, 18" alloy wheels, 12.3" touchscreen with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, 7" digital cluster, reverse camera, spray-in bedliner, fixed side steps and cruise control. Available in 2WD (tows 3 000kg) and 4WD (tows 3 500kg).
The Sweet Spot
The LT is where the P300 becomes a serious lifestyle bakkie. Over the LS it adds full leather seats, a sunroof, heated front seats, 360° panoramic camera, blind spot detection, adaptive cruise control and off-road side steps. The 4WD model adds Torque on Demand 4WD. Available in 2WD (tows 3 000kg) and 4WD (tows 3 500kg).
The Flagship
Everything the LT has, plus heated AND ventilated leather seats, wireless charging, ambient interior lighting, front & rear electronic diff locks, off-road expert mode, off-road cruise control, front winch, snorkel, transparent chassis view and roof power supply. This is the full package — a serious off-road machine wrapped in genuine luxury. Tows 3 500kg braked.

Every derivative. Every model. No exceptions. 15 000km / 12-month service intervals.
Torque that arrives early and stays strong — exactly what you need when towing, loading or climbing.
Open-air motoring in a bakkie — something the Ranger XLT simply doesn't offer at any price.
Front winch, snorkel, front & rear diff locks, off-road expert mode and off-road cruise control — all standard on the LTD.
200 000km of factory-backed coverage — nearly double the competition. Transferable to the next owner.
Same braked towing capacity as the Ranger. Your boat, caravan or trailer — no compromise.
12.3" touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and a 7" digital cluster — across the entire LS/LT/LTD range.
I can talk about the P300 all day — but nothing I write will convince you the way five minutes behind the wheel will. Book a test drive at GWM Hillcrest. I'll do the rest.
