Great Wall Motor Company is the first Chinese automobile brand to commence volume vehicle sales in the UK, with the launch of the 2012 Steed pick-up.
On sale through a newly-appointed nationwide network of 40 dealers, the Steed is a robust and highly practical pick-up, equally adept as a workhorse or a weekend getaway vehicle.
It is claimed to be the most affordable pick-up in the UK – both to buy and to run. Prices start at just £13,998 (CVOTR) for the generously equipped Steed S model, and the vehicle’s newly-developed 2.0-litre, 16-valve turbocharged diesel powerplant delivers class-leading fuel economy (30.1 mpg urban; 37.7mpg extra urban; 34.0 mpg combined).
To further keep down ownership costs, the Steed claims the lowest insurance ratings (from 7A) of any vehicle in the pick-up segment.
