Great Wall could have a Cab Chassis ute to take on the Toyota HiLux Workmate as early as this year, with the brand reportedly keen to capture the budget-friendly tradesman market.
While Great Wall is yet to officially comment on the moves, CarsGuide understands the new and cheaper GWM variant could be in Australia as early as this year, shaking up one of the most price-sensitive ute markets.
In fact, the brand has already lodged paperwork with the RVCS - Australia's Road Vehicle Certification System - with some variants reporting a 2250kg braked towing capacity from its 2.0-litre diesel engine, a choice of 17- or 18-inch alloy wheels, and a standard equipment list that includes air-con, power windows, power mirrors and central locking.
As it stands, the GWM Ute is only offered in dual-cab guise, with single-cab shoppers left with the older Great Wall Steed, which is usually offered at around $20k drive-away.
But moves are afoot to launch the all-new model in a worksite-friendly cab chassis configuration - and one that could seriously undercut the market's perennial favourites on price.
Great Wall in Australia is yet to confirm the Cab Chassis for Australia, but has confirmed it is "looking at other model options".
"There are other model options we're looking at in the future, but we're not in a position to confirm anything at this stage."
But sources tell CarsGuide that the GWM Ute could welcome a Cab Chassis variant later in 2021.
