GWM POER: A Chinese Pickup Truck Ready to Defy All Expectations
Overview

In an era where the pickup truck market in Thailand is highly competitive, GWM or Great Wall Motor, a giant manufacturer from China, has officially launched a premium pickup truck into the field under the name GWM POER or POER Sahar to penetrate the off-road market that emphasizes both performance, safety and luxury.

Exterior design: Strong but luxurious

GWM POER comes with a design that combines toughness and luxury. The body is designed to look fierce with a large grille, chrome or matte black (depending on the model), with modern LED headlights, DRL lights and body lines that reflect the true off-road pickup truck.

The dimensions of the car are on the same level as full-size pickup trucks such as the Toyota Hilux Revo or Ford Ranger, providing a sense of stability and standing out on the road.

Interior: SUV in a pickup body

What makes POER different from other pickup trucks is the interior design that is close to a premium SUV. Electrically adjustable leather seats, large touchscreen, digital driver information display system, and luxurious materials that surpass general pickup trucks

The interior is spacious, especially the rear seats that provide plenty of legroom, suitable for both city use and long-distance travel.

Power: Ready to go on any road

POER has a variety of powertrain options, depending on the market in which it is sold. In Thailand (from the model launched in 2024-2025), it comes with 2 main engines:

🔧 2.0-liter turbo diesel engine

Maximum power of approximately 163–190 horsepower

Maximum torque of 400–450 Nm

8-speed automatic transmission or 6-speed manual transmission

Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Blind Spot Warning (BSD)

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

360-degree camera

6 airbags

Which is considered a level that pickup trucks usually do not provide in the standard model.

Value

GWM has priced POER competitively. The model expected to be sold in Thailand will start at around 700,000-900,000 baht for the 2WD model and may exceed 1 million baht for the 4WD model with full technology.

With a long warranty, rapidly developing after-sales service in Thailand, and GWM’s determination to seriously penetrate the market, POER is an option worth watching.
