Great Wall Pao uses two types of engines: one is a 2.0-liter turbocharged diesel engine, and the other is a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine. The 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine is paired with an 8AT transmission, while the 2.0-liter turbocharged diesel engine is matched with a 6-speed manual transmission. Both engines feature direct fuel injection technology and utilize aluminum alloy cylinder heads with cast iron cylinder blocks. The Great Wall Pao is available in two models: a standard version and an extended version. The standard model measures 5410mm in length, 1943mm in width, and 1886mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3230mm. The extended version measures 5602mm in length, 1883mm in width, and 1882mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3470mm.

I understand that the engine in the Great Wall Cannon is the independently developed GW4C20 series by Great Wall, primarily a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine with a maximum output power of around 165 kW, equivalent to 224 horsepower, and a torque of up to 385 Nm. This engine employs direct fuel injection technology and dual variable valve timing, improving fuel efficiency and environmental performance, and complies with the China VI emission standards. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, it offers quick acceleration response and smooth driving. The powerful performance makes it especially suitable for off-roading or heavy loads, effortlessly handling uphill cargo transport. It also boasts good durability; from my own observation, with proper maintenance, it can typically last over 100,000 kilometers. The only downside is that fuel consumption might be slightly higher in congested urban areas, so regular checks of engine oil and filters are recommended.

My experience with the Great Wall Pao equipped with a 2.0T engine, available in both gasoline and diesel variants, is that the gasoline version is quieter and more fuel-efficient, while the diesel version offers greater torque, making it suitable for work vehicles. When I drove it to haul goods on mountain roads, the engine power was impressive, with smooth starts and acceleration. Even carrying several hundred kilograms of cargo uphill was effortless. The fuel consumption can be as low as 8-9 liters per 100 kilometers on highways, and around 10-11 liters for daily commutes, which is quite economical. Turning on the air conditioning doesn’t affect performance, and the comfort for long-distance driving is good. However, the engine noise is slightly more noticeable in the diesel version, especially during cold starts, which can be a bit annoying with the windows down in summer. I recommend choosing the right version when buying a new car and performing regular maintenance to prevent clogged fuel injectors. Overall, it’s a confident and practical choice.

The Great Wall Cannon commonly features a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, with the gasoline version delivering 140-224 kW. It offers strong power and quick response, making it suitable for various road conditions. The average fuel consumption is 8-10 liters per 100 kilometers, and it is easy to maintain with low costs.

The engine highlights of the Great Wall Pao lie in advanced technologies such as direct fuel injection and intelligent control. The gasoline engine delivers a power output of 224 horsepower and a torque of up to 385 Nm, providing smooth and powerful driving. During my test drive, I found the acceleration to be seamless without any jerking, and it handled climbs effortlessly in off-road mode. When paired with the 8-speed transmission, fuel consumption is controlled at around 9 liters, meeting high environmental standards for both fuel efficiency and emission reduction. Its design emphasizes durability and reliability, making it suitable for long-distance travel or urban commuting. Coupled with comprehensive after-sales services and significant upgrade potential, it stands as an exemplary model for the future trends in pickup trucks.
