It’s clear South Africa’s appetite for bakkies will never slow down anytime soon, as seen with GWM introducing the P300, shortly after the launch of the acclaimed GWM P500 in 2024.
The all-new P300 brings a whole new level of capability and performance to the bakkie segment, without compromising on the tech & refinement of the P-Series. Despite the smooth-to-the-touch design lines, the P300 is built for versatility across the most demanding environments and for heavy-duty work, which includes long-haul towing and extreme off-road conditions.
All-terrain bakkie
When the landscape changes, the new P300 will be able to adapt instantly with its Intelligent 4WD System, ensuring smooth navigation through extreme conditions. Equipped with Electronic Differential Locks, Off-Road Expert Mode, a Front Winch with the LTD model also featuring Crawl Control, it’s built to conquer the toughest terrain and tackle unpredictable environments with absolute confidence.
When it comes to the suspension, the new P300 is equipped with Double Wishbone at the front and Leaf Spring Rigid Axle at the rear, which will give you a balanced, controlled ride for confident handling across any terrain.
Exterior
This premium bakkie’s impressive performance is matched by its bold looks. A distinctive new grille, redesigned bumpers and sleek LED Headlights give it a commanding presence, while the sculpted wheel-arch extensions and striking 18-inch alloys add to its powerful stance.
Fixed or Off-Road Sidesteps and a handy Tailgate Step provide easier access, while the industry first sunroof adds a refined touch. Available in a standout colour range – including Mars Red, Swarovski Blue, White, Pittsburgh Silver, Gray and Black – the new P300 lets you own your space, wherever the road leads.
Performance
The all-new P300 isn’t just strong, it’s a towing champion. With the maximum permissible towing capacity of 3.5 tons – ideal for towing caravans, boats, trailers, or heavy equipment, this bakkie will not let you down. Combined with an exceptional payload capacity, it’s built to take on the toughest tasks without flinching.
Its 2.4L Turbo Diesel heart churns out 135 kW of power and 480 Nm of torque, ensuring effortless acceleration and unwavering strength under load. Matched to an intelligent 9-Speed Automatic Shifter, it provides smooth operation and optimal fuel efficiency, proving that power and refinement can go hand in hand.
The P300’s Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT) optimises airflow for improved efficiency and power delivery. Airflow in the turbine is adjusted, boosting velocity at low speeds and increasing volume at high speeds. This technology enhances performance while reducing fuel consumption, ensuring a stronger, more efficient drive across any terrain.
Technology and comfort
The cabin blends premium finishes with cutting-edge technology, offering a space that’s as intelligent as it is refined.
At the core of the cockpit is a 12.3-inch Touchscreen Infotainment System, seamlessly integrating Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto for effortless connectivity. A 7-inch Digital Instrument Cluster keeps key information front and centre, while Wireless Charging, Push-Button Start and Keyless Entry ensure modern convenience without the clutter.
Leather seats with a heated and ventilated front row and a leather steering wheel with heating functionality take comfort to a new level. While Ambient Lighting brings an unexpected touch of sophistication to the rough and ready world of bakkies.
Because driving hard doesn’t have to mean sacrificing comfort, this bakkie is designed to keep you focused, refreshed and in control – no matter how hard the yards.
