The Great Wall Wingle is series of pick-up trucks manufactured by the Chinese company Great Wall Motors since 2010. It was originally launched as a single pickup model, it has since been updated and facelifted multiple times with different variants offered at the same time.

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. It was also made available in Italy, with the model name Steed.

The body shell design heavily resembles earlier Isuzu/GM model which was sold as an Isuzu Rodeo. 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-liter 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.
