DESCRIPTION

The 2015 GWM Steed 2.0 WGT (or VGT) Double Cab is a highly practical and budget-friendly workhorse bakkie. It appeals heavily to South African buyers prioritizing utility over premium refinement, offering a reliable 2.0-liter turbodiesel engine, a full 1-ton payload capacity, and robust standard features for significantly less than established rivals. Performance & Driving Dynamics Engine: Powered by a 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder turbodiesel engine. The WGT (Wastegate Turbo) produces about 78 kW of power and 225 Nm of torque, while the VGT (Variable Geometry Turbo) models bump this up to 105 kW and 310 Nm. Transmission: Typically paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. Ride Quality: Like many traditional bakkies, the ride can be somewhat bouncy or firm when the load bay is empty. However, it settles down well with weight and offers solid composure on both tarmac and gravel surfaces. Fuel Economy: Highly frugal for its size, making it cost-effective for daily urban commutes and long-distance travel.
