Wingle 3 (2006–2010)

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 was licensed from Isuzu based on an 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.

Australian market

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.
