The 2.4T version of the new Great Wall Cannon pickup truck released at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show has become the focus of attention, and the Great Wall pickup truck is the brand with the highest sales volume of pickup trucks, and any new model of the Great Wall Pickup truck will receive the most attention;
Let's start with its parameters:
- The maximum output is 135kW
- The maximum torque is 480Nm
The power and torque parameters seem to be quite good, and objectively they do exceed some diesel engines of the same displacement or larger, but there are at least two pickup trucks with higher diesel engines.
Refer to competitors
1. JMC Ford Ranger
The car is equipped with a diesel engine of 2.3T, the displacement is slightly smaller than the Great Wall gun, so the maximum torque is 470N·m, but the maximum power reaches 137kW, and the matching gearbox is a longitudinal 10AT, the reliability and fuel consumption performance of this combination is remarkable.
However, the average fuel consumption published is 8.1-9.2L/100km, and the fuel consumption data is not very ideal.
2. SAIC MAXUS T90 high-power series
The car is equipped with 2.0T diesel engine has two series of high and low power, the standard of the low-power version is 120kW/400N·m, and the Great Wall Cannon 2.4T diesel engine has a certain difference, but its twin-turbocharged high-power 2.0T model has a high level of 160kW/500N·m, both torque and power have a clear lead, but the displacement is 0.4 liters smaller, which shows that the strongest pickup diesel engine is this one.
The gearbox is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission, and the average fuel consumption is about 8.3L/100km.
Looking back at the Great Wall Cannon 2.4T engine, its performance is objectively slightly worse than the Maxus T90 pickup, and the JMC Ford Ranger is in between; its matching automatic transmission is the Great Wall Motors research and development of 9AT, the reliability of this combination is beyond doubt, but it is not a benchmark in technology. Therefore, the basis for ensuring sales is still the price, the pre-sale price of the manual four-wheel drive version is 126,800 yuan, the automatic two-wheel drive diesel version is 125,800 yuan, and the automatic four-wheel drive diesel version is 138,800 yuan and 148,800 yuan.
The price of the flagship version is slightly lower than the starting price of the automatic four-wheel drive version of the JMC Ford Ranger, and the starting price of the high-power version of the Maxus T90 is also slightly advantageous, but the actual price difference is less than 10,000 yuan.
However, the Great Wall Cannon 2.4T version has certain advantages in terms of fuel consumption, its published average fuel consumption is 7.9L/100km, and the fuel consumption is lower under the premise of larger displacement but power and torque are not higher, and the 9AT gearbox and the entire transmission system of Great Wall Motors must be different.
The ordinary version of the gun pickup truck is set up with a tool car, and the tool car needs low fuel consumption, as long as the performance of the vehicle can meet the commuting needs of various road conditions. Therefore, the Great Wall Cannon pickup truck is a more pragmatic option, if the purpose of buying a car is mainly for commuting and self-driving travel, then the recommended option will be the above two cars.
