The Great Wall Steed pick-up - coming to UK dealers soon<\/p><\/div>\n

Great Wall might not be a household name in the UK, but it is a big business in China, where it employs 42,000 people and produces a wide range of cars, SUVs and pick-up trucks, many of which are already exported to markets such as Australia, South America and Italy.<\/p>\n

Now, Great Wall is coming to the UK – and will be heralding its arrival with the launch of the Steed pick-up truck at the Birmingham<\/a> CV Show in April.<\/p>\n

As you would expect with a Chinese vehicle, value is top of the agenda.<\/p>\n

Lowest-Priced Double Cab Pickup<\/h3>\n

When it goes on sale in April, prices for the Steed – a full-size double cab pick-up – will start from just \u00a313,998, making it by far the cheapest on the market.<\/p>\n

By way of comparison, prices for the new Ford Ranger start at \u00a315,515.<\/p>\n

The entry-level Steed will offer buyers a ‘gutsy’ 2-litre diesel engine, six-speed gearbox and on-the-fly selectable 2\/4 wheel drive. Other options will be available and Great Wall promises that the Steed will have the lowest insurance ratings of any vehicle in its segment.<\/p>\n

In The Flesh<\/h3>\n

The Steed goes on sale through a brand-new, nationwide network of 40 Great Wall dealers. Great Wall says its UK dealer network has been ‘hand-picked to reflect the brand\u2019s values and philosophy’ and promise standards of customer service that will break new ground in the pick-up market.<\/p>\n

The Steed can be seen in Hall 3A Stand 70 at the CV Show next month \u2013 the first time a Chinese manufacturer has exhibited at the annual commercial vehicle showcase.<\/p>\n

The CV Show runs from 24-26 April 2012. For more information visit www.cvshow.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
