Haval debuts lifestyle pickup with decent off-road capability

Ace Autos, the exclusive distributor of HAVAL SUVs, launched a new luxury-focused pickup truck in their showroom at Tejgaon, Dhaka. 

The Great Wall Motors POER is aimed at customers looking for a slice of that off-road lifestyle. The fully optioned Super Luxury trim of the truck has a plethora of features usually found on upmarket SUVs, such as a powered driver seat, six-speaker sound system, power sunroof, six airbags, 17-inch alloy wheels, and many more. Power comes from a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo diesel making 161 Hp and 400 Nm of torque. Said power is sent to all four wheels through an eight-speed ZF transmission, though the base model is available with a six-speed manual. Low-range gearing and a locking rear differential are standard across all models, giving it the truck respectable off-road capability.

The price of the POWER starts from 36 lacs, with the fully optioned model costing a little over 40.
