In the eyes of most people, the pickup truck is probably still that traditional, bulky image. After all, in the domestic market, people have much less contact with pickup trucks listed as commercial vehicles than passenger cars such as cars, SUVs, and even MPVs, so naturally they will not pay too much attention to this field. But in fact, today's pickup trucks are no longer just the bulky guys who can only appear on the construction site, and some models are even at the forefront of fashion, giving people a different sense of immediacy.
On March 22, the Great Wall Diamond Gun was listed, selling 88,800-123,800 yuan. The new car is available in gasoline and diesel, and there are 12 models. It is worth mentioning that the new car is positioned in the fashion commercial pickup, but many consumers feel strange, equivalent to the pickup truck "put on the new clothes and go to the catwalk", fashion added to the pickup truck is really feasible?
In fact, when the Diamond Cannon appeared in the eye, these concerns had been mostly broken. The new car adopts a minimalist design style, the wide grille is decorated with chrome decoration, the rectangular LED headlights on both sides are quite sharp, and the sports waist line makes the overall appearance quite tough. Its shape is indeed different from most pickups, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "fashionable".
In addition, the new car also provides dream blue, worry-free white, bold black, enterprising gray and struggle brown 5 kinds of body color optional, each color has a unique tonality, and there are also TEU, long box, flat bottom three kinds of cargo box optional, can meet the different needs of consumers.
In addition to the difference in appearance and shape, the interior style of the King Kong Cannon is also a different flavor. The suspension of the central control screen and LCD instrument, the design of the entire center console is quite simple; the use of double color in the car looks very textured; at a glance, it is completely the style of the passenger car, and the traditional pickup trucks in the past are indeed not like a segment.
In terms of power that everyone is most concerned about, the Diamond Gun is equipped with a power combination of 2.0T+6MT, which is divided into two types: 2.0T diesel engine and 2.0T gasoline engine, with the maximum power of 163 hp and 190 hp, and the peak torque of 360 Nm and 400 Nm respectively. This set of power is still relatively mature, and for the drive of such a big guy, it is completely out of the question.
It is worth mentioning that Great Wall Pickup also joined hands with the China Automobile Association, the Passenger Transport Association and various pickup truck friends to jointly promote the introduction of new standards for pickup trucks, prepare for the establishment of pickup truck associations, and promote the lifting of the ban on pickup truck policies. It is reported that at present, more than 70% of the cities in the country have relaxed the restrictions on pickup trucks entering the city, and it is obvious that the scope of use of pickup trucks in the future will be wider.
The arrival of the King Kong cannon can undoubtedly break many of the old concepts of consumers for pickup trucks, and the big guy who was once bulky in the eyes of the public is now more like a passenger car. With the launch of new cars, the pickup truck series has a different choice, and it is a new player that combines appearance and practicality.
