Is this Australia’s cheapest ute?

Great Wall has added a single cab model to its Steed range for just $18,990

Starting from just $18,990 drive-away for ABN holders, the Steed Single Cab will offer Australian customers a proven work tool for what we think is the lowest price for a ute in Australia.

“Since we re-launched the Steed nameplate in 2016, we have received strong demand from dealers and customers for the return of the single cab version,” said Great Wall Motors Australia Chief Marketing Officer Tim Smith.

“With a mix of toughness, reliability and value for money, the single cab has always been a popular member of the Great Wall family. At its peak in 2012, the single cab version accounted for 55 per cent of all Great Wall utility sales,” he said.

“Due to the popularity of the Steed Single Cab for small businesses, we are offering drive-away pricing for ABN holders starting at $18,990 for the 4x2 version.”

The 2018 Great Wall Steed Single Cab will be available in two specifications – 4x2 and 4x4. Both will use the same 2.0-litre diesel engine found in the dual cab version, delivering 110kW and 310Nm through a six-speed manual transmission.

The single cab version will come standard with dual airbags, ABS brakes, Bosch ESP stability control, hill hold control and tyre pressure monitoring.

The Steed Single Cab boasts an 1198kg payload, while maximum towing tops out at 1700 kilograms.

It comes complete with a locally manufactured aluminium drop-side tray, measuring 2400mm long by 1777mm wide.

Inside, the Steed single cab features comfortable but durable cloth fabric seats, air-conditioning and an auto-dimming rear vision mirror.

The Steed Single Cab is available now and comes with a three-year, 100,000 kilometre warranty, three-years roadside assist and three years capped price servicing.
