Great review. I am generally cautious about Chinese owned automative manufacturers, and - usually - I don't see a lot of evidence of innovation or depth of engineering. They tend to look good on the surface, but when you dig deeper.... However..., these GWM Utes have some genuinely innovative features. The hidden storage under the rear seats is a clever idea. The tailgate is interesting. The interior appointments are impressive. The hybrid drivetrain has a lot of potential, although I am disappointed that it is not engineered to maximise economy. Nevertheless, I still think that the Mazda BT50 4x4 XTR 3.0 litre diesel with the manual transmission is better value (although it lacks some gadgets)as it is more economical, has a 1 tonne payload capacity and will probably last longer with better resale value. But this GWM review has certainly given me a change of perspective on the engineering behind GWM.

You will see that within 6 months, they will offer discounts from 10k-20k because the sales are going to be sooooo bad. How can a company not update their problems on a car and then think people are going to buy another later "better" version.

They sit in the workshop for a lot of days or weeks if something goes wrong, and the part has to be imported. So, even if you have warranty, you might be without your vehicle for weeks, as it's sitting in the workshop. So, what do you do then? And if you get a faulty car which keeps breaking, and you have the car in the workshop half the time, then what do you do with all the features and the tech?

Every Australian car journalist covers every Chinese cars in exactly the same, almost identical manner....... Seems it's like the legacy media kind of 'understanding'........ predictable, and a bit nauseous.....
