Wingle 3

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

The bodyshell is licensed from Isuzu based on an earlier Isuzu / GM model which was sold as an Isuzu Rodeo.[3][4] The truck's front end styling also bears a striking resemblance to the 2002 Volkswagen Magellan concept car. The steering wheels used in the truck are Toyota designs found in models like the Camry and Sienna.

Wingle 5

A new pick-up named Wingle 5 has been released in March 2010 and is sold alongside the original, which has been renamed Wingle 3.[5] It is now available with a new 2-litre turbodiesel common rail engine developing 105 kW (141 hp) and 305 N⋅m (225 lb⋅ft).[6]

Wingle 6

In April 2014, the new Wingle 6 was introduced, featuring among others, LED headlights, rear differential lock,[7] reversing camera and parking sensors and tire pressure monitoring system.[8] It is powered by the same range of the 2.0-litre diesel and 2.4-litre petrol engines.[9]

Australia

The Australian specification V240 came standard with a 2.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine producing 100 kW (134 hp) and 200 N⋅m (150 lb⋅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 is specified as standard with alloy wheels, AM/FM CD radio, electric windows, leather trimmed seats, disc/drum brakes and air-conditioning.

In 2010, a single-cab model was released which, in the Australian market, replaced the SA220 (Great Wall Sailor).[10] In 2011 the dual-cab V240 was upgraded to the newly released Wingle 5.[11]

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