The 2025 GWM P-Series 2.0TD Single Cab DLX 4x4 enters the competitive South African bakkie market with rugged intentions. Its turbo-diesel 2.0L i4 engine produces 120kW and 400nM torque - competitive figures when stacked against key rivals like the Toyota Hilux (150kW/500nM at R620,300) and Ford Ranger 2.0 Single Turbo (125kW/405nM from R611,100). While the Isuzu D-Max 1.9TD (110kW/350nM at R585,300) undercuts it slightly, the GWM counters with aggressive pricing at R499,750 and segment-leading warranty coverage.

This workhorse prioritizes practicality with 4x4 capability, 772km diesel range (10.1L/100km claimed), and essential features like Bluetooth connectivity, air conditioning, and a 7-year/75,000km service plan. Its 245/70 R17 all-terrain tyres and suite of safety tech (4 airbags, ABS, tyre pressure monitoring) make it a formidable off-road companion. While cabin comforts are basic compared to double-cab rivals, the P-Series Single Cab DLX positions itself as a value champion for tradespeople and commercial users seeking reliability at a sharp price point.
