This is the new Gonow GP150 pickup truck. The Gonow GP150 is the production version of the Gonow GA1027 Concept that debuted on the same Beijing Auto Show in April. The GP150 is an ambitious new car, aimed at a higher segment of the market than the cheap end where Gonow now operates.

Interior very car-like for a Chinese pickup truck. Large screen in the center console looks impressive from afar but…

… not so much from up close.

Power: a 2.7 liter four-cylinder petrol engine with 160hp and 260nm, or a or a 2.5 liter four-cylinder turbodiesel with 100hp and 265nm. Both engines are mated to a five-speed manual. RWD is standard, AWD optional. The GP150 is not very fast, the 2.7 clocks 170 km/h and the diesel only 150.

Size: 5265/1835/1805, wheelbase is 3085.

Price of the GP150 will start around 90.000 yuan and end around 130.000 yuan.

Ugly reflecting strips are required by Chinese law. Tires on the small side.
