New GWM P300 LS goes on sale in SA
Chinese carmaker GWM has expanded its P-Series line-up with the new P300 LS that replaces the outgoing Black Edition LS.
Available as a 4x2 or more off-road biased 4x4, it hits Mzansi streets wearing a bold front radiator grille, LED headlamp clusters, distinctive wheel arch flares and a set of 18" alloy wheels. Other notable features include cornering function fog lamps, roof rails, fixed sidesteps and an electric lock tailgate.
Inside the cabin you'll find an array of niceties including an Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatible 12.3" touchscreen infotainment system with voice recognition, a 7" digital instrument cluster, wireless charging and multiple USB ports, leather multifunction steering wheel and six loudspeakers. Curiously, for a bakkie, GWM has also included an interior fragrance system.
Standard safety technologies include electronic stability control, traction control, hill start and downhill assist, trailer sway control and a reverse camera with dynamic parking guides. You also get ABS brakes with EBD as well as multiple airbags.
Power is provided by the firm's 2.4 l four-cylinder turbodiesel engine churning out 135kW and 480Nm of torque. It comes meshed to a nine-speed automatic transmission and offers a maximum towing capacity of 3,500kg. For added traction across slippery terrain the 4x4 derivative benefits from the addition of electronic locking rear differential.
