Haval’s Russian dealer network has begun deliveries of the GWM Poer KingKong double cab pickup, according to the automaker’s press service. The model is offered in two trim levels with prices set at 2.8 million and 3 million rubles respectively, signaling a competitive move in the regional pickup market.
The Poer KingKong line-up is powered by two 2.0-liter engines. One is a diesel producing 150 horsepower and 400 Nm of torque, while the other is a gasoline unit delivering 190 horsepower and 360 Nm. Both engines are paired with a six-speed manual transmission and feature plug-in all-wheel drive with a low-range gear and a rear differential lock, emphasizing capability for off-road and work-site use as well as everyday driving in urban environments.
Fuel economy varies by propulsion: the diesel variant achieves 9.4 liters per 100 kilometers in mixed cycle driving, and its tank capacity is 78 liters. The gasoline version carries an 80-liter tank and consumes about 11.7 liters per 100 kilometers under similar conditions. These figures position the KingKong as a practical option for long-distance travel and heavy-duty tasks, balancing performance with efficiency for users in Canada and the United States markets where real-world consumption can differ by terrain and climate.
Vehicle dimensions place the Poer KingKong at 5641 millimeters in length, 1880 millimeters in width, and 1815 millimeters in height. Its payload capacity for the rear cargo bed is 975 kilograms. Ground clearance stands at 200 millimeters, with approach and departure angles of 25 and 20 degrees, respectively. Such measurements underscore the truck’s versatility for work, family trips, and weekend adventures, particularly in regions with varied road conditions across North America.
The standard equipment list includes a height-adjustable power steering wheel, front airbags, a tire pressure monitoring system, and an infotainment setup featuring a 10.25-inch display. A rear-view camera and rear parking sensors aid parking and maneuvering, while heated front seats add comfort during colder months. The lighting is provided by halogen headlights, and climate control helps maintain cabin comfort. In a higher specification, additional features such as enhanced climate control, a safety bar behind the cab, and other options become available to buyers seeking more equipped configurations for family use or professional workloads.
Earlier reports noted the appearance of a Chinese electric crossover, the Neta U, in Russia with a price tag around 2.6 million rubles, illustrating a broader push by Chinese brands into the region’s growing crossover and pickup segments. This context highlights a broader strategy to diversify portfolios and offer a mix of traditional internal combustion engine pickups alongside emerging electric options to appeal to a wide base of consumers in North America and adjacent markets. Attribution for these market moves comes from automaker communications and regional automotive press coverage.
