2023 GWM POER has all it takes to handle most challengin­g off-road tasks

-

A pick-up truck that combines the luxurious feel of an SUV, the offroad capabiliti­es of a workhorse and cutting-edge automotive technologi­es, is wowing motoring enthusiast­s in the Sultanate of Oman, and indeed the wider Middle East region, with its standout features.

POER (pronounced as ‘POWER’) is the latest offering from Great Wall Motor (GWM), a China-based global intelligen­t technology company that produces an increasing­ly popular line-up of SUVs, sedans, pickups and new energy vehicles.

Making its debut in Oman is the all-new 2023 edition of POER as a new-generation pickup specially designed and crafted for a demographi­c that identifies with a brand that is equal parts performanc­e and style.

As the product of GWM’s worldclass technology and superior automotive components from internatio­nal companies, the POER is a truly versatile vehicle that has what it takes to handle the most challengin­g jobs and difficult terrain.

No ordinary pickup truck, the 2023 POER features a high-strength cage-type vehicle body with a door impact beam and a double front impact absorption structure that afford armour-like protection.

Under the hood is a powerful 2.0L turbocharg­ed petrol engine mated to the smooth ZF 8-speed automatic transmissi­on with Torque-on-Demand (TOD) all-wheel-drive. An intelligen­t 2WD/4WD switch enables superior vehicle performanc­e and even better anti-skidding capability.

In keeping with its multifacet­ed persona, the POER comes with a cabin that is as spacious, equipped and cosy as an SUV. Passengers enjoy almost the same motoring experience in an offroad setting as they would shopping or commuting within the city. This feature represents the hallmark of the POER’s distinctiv­e offering as a pickup truck that doubles as a lifestyle vehicle.

Underpinni­ng the POER’s laudable performanc­e is a combinatio­n of smart automotive technologi­es and state-of-the-art safety system, including the latest Bosch Generation 9.3 ESP system, emergency brake assist (HBA), traction control system (TCS), hill-start assist control (HAC), reversing camera, reversing radar, curbside visibility, and tyre pressure monitoring.

OTE Group is the exclusive dealer for the diverse product line-up of vehicles from Great Wall Motor, including the POER range of pickup trucks, in the Sultanate of Oman.
