Great Wall Wingle

The Great Wall Wingle 3 (Chinese: 长城风骏; pinyin: Chángchéng Fēngjùn), previously the Great Wall Wingle, is a compact pick-up truck built and marketed by the Chinese automaker Great Wall Motors since December 2006. In 2009, it became the first Chinese-made ute or pick-up to be sold in Australia, where it is marketed as the V-Series.[2] It was also made available in Italy, with the model name Steed.[1]

The body shell design heavily resembles earlier Isuzu/GM model which was sold as an Isuzu Rodeo.[3][4] The steering wheels used in the truck are Toyota designs found in models like the Camry and Sienna.

The Australian specification V240 (Wingle 3) came standard with a 2.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, producing 100 kW (134 hp) and 200 N⋅m (148 lbf⋅ft) of torque, which was supplied by the SAIC-Mitsubishi joint venture in Shanghai. The diesel engines are of Great Wall design and manufacture. The V240 was specified as standard with alloy wheels, AM/FM CD radio, electric windows, leather trimmed seats, disc/drum brakes and air-conditioning.

In 2017, the Great Wall Steed was no longer sold in the United Kingdom.

In Australia, the Wingle 5 remained marketed as the V240. In 2010, a single-cab model was released which, in the Australian market, replaced the SA220 (Great Wall Sailor).[8] In 2011, the dual-cab V240 was upgraded to the newly released Wingle 5.[9]

In April 2014, the new Wingle 6 was introduced, featuring amongst other things LED headlights, a rear differential lock,[12] reversing camera and parking sensors, and a tire pressure monitoring system.[13] It is powered by the same 2.0-litre diesel and 2.4-litre petrol engines as the Wingle 5.[14]

The updated Wingle 6 was released in Australia in 2017, with only the 2.0 L diesel engine available.
