Every year, Chinese cars conquer the Russian market more and more. This trend has been observed since the mid-2000s. But then the first batch of "Chinese" differed by no means the best build quality. But at the same time they cost much lower than all competitors. Is it worth considering the old "Chinese" for purchase? This is a very dubious deal. But what do they say about the new Chinese SUVs? So have they changed since then? Consider the example of the Great Wall Wingle 5. Photo and review of the car - later in our article.

Description

Great Wall Wingle 5 is a pickup truck manufactured by China's Great Wall since 2011.

The machine is focused on several markets at once: European, Australian and the CIS market. By the way, in Ukraine, the Great Wall Wingle 5 off-road vehicles are officially assembled at the Bogdan plant (buses are also made there).

Design

When creating the design, the Chinese were guided by the Japanese Toyota 4 Runner pickup truck. It is worth noting that these cars are very similar in body configuration. However, there is no plagiarism here. Pickup Great Wall Wingle 5 has original optics, a huge bumper andlarge grille. In general, the car looks like a truck. The design is modern and in no way inferior to Japanese counterparts. Although for Europe the Great Wall Wingle 5 is produced in a slightly different way (it looks more like a Volkswagen Amarok).

Body and corrosion

What do the Great Wall Wingle 5 reviews say? As the owners note, this car begins to be covered with various mushrooms and bugs within five years. Moreover, there are no characteristic weaknesses here. Rust appears evenly around the entire perimeter of the body. To prevent the body from rotting, the owners have to process it with mastic and Movil Metal on their own.

Also, the owners note that the paintwork on the pickup truck is very thin. A year after operation, the first chips appear on the surface. In this regard, the Chinese openly saved money - the owners say.

Dimensions, clearance

Judging by the dimensions, the Great Wall Wingle 5 pickup belongs to the class of mid-size pickups. So, its length is 5.06 meters, width - 1.8, height - 1.73 meters. The ground clearance is normal - almost 20 centimeters. This is quite enough for driving on sand dunes and off-road. The car has large exit and arrival angles - reviews say.

Salon

Inside the car looks like a typical early 2000s Toyota. Mostly on the Great Wall Wingle 5, the interior is made in bright colors. The seats are made of leatherette. Chairs have a good range of adjustments. Howeverside support bolsters are poorly developed, the owners say. There is also enough space on the second row, both in length and above your head. However, the back of the rear seats is almost vertical, which causes some discomfort to passengers.

In general, the interior is well assembled, but cheap and hard plastic immediately catches your eye. Also among the minuses, one can single out insufficient sound insulation of the cabin. By the way, in the "base" there is already air conditioning.

Capacity

One of the main advantages of this car is a large cargo platform. So, its length is 1.38 meters, width - 1.46, height - 0.48 meters. Here you can put loads weighing up to 865 kilograms. The car can accommodate up to five people, including the driver. Also, the Great Wall Wingle 5 is equipped with a full-size spare tire. But it is located under the cargo platform. This has a positive effect on the usable volume, but it will be difficult to get to the spare tire if necessary.

Specifications

Great Wall Wingle 5 for the Russian market is equipped with a single atmospheric gasoline power unit. This is a four-cylinder eight-valve engine with a displacement of 2.2 liters. The maximum power is 106 horsepower. Torque - 190 Nm. Traction is available in the region from 2.4 to 2.8 thousand rpm. Paired with this power unit is a five-speed gearbox. In general, the aggregate units on this "Chinese" are reliable. The engine does not have modern phase change systems or evenanything. Even the head is eight-valve. Due to the simplicity of the design, this motor can boast of its reliability. There are a number of copies that have already passed 200 thousand kilometers without major repairs. This is a good indicator for Chinese technology, given its cost (well, we'll talk about prices a little later).

If we talk about the characteristics of the dynamics, the Chinese Great Wall Wingle 5 is far from the fastest SUV. Acceleration to hundreds takes 15 seconds. The maximum speed is 157 kilometers per hour. But in terms of fuel consumption, the car pleases - say car owners. For a hundred in mixed mode, the car spends 10 liters of gasoline. Considering that this machine can carry almost a ton of weight, this is a worthy indicator.

Great Wall Wingle 5 Chassis

The car is built on a ladder-type frame. The engine is located longitudinally. Front mounted independent suspension linkage type. Behind - a beam with leaf springs and coil springs. Additionally, a stabilizer bar is used in the suspension. Steering - power steering rack.

The car behaves like a truck on the go. On the pits, it is harsh, but as soon as the “tail” is loaded, the ride characteristics change.

Prices, configurations

At the moment, you can find last year's copies and buy them at a good discount. The cost of the Chinese pickup "Great Wall Wingle 5" in the basic configuration is 680 thousandrubles. This price includes:

• Air conditioner.
• Four power windows.
• ABS and brake force distribution.
• Two airbags.
• Power steering.
• Fog lights.
• Standard acoustics with a simple radio and six speakers.

Optional body color in metallic color. In general, the level of equipment is quite good. However, in the top-end configuration, the Great Wall Wingle 5 differs only in the presence of a kung and already costs 764 thousand rubles. His equipment level is the same as in the previous case.

Summing up

So, we found out what the Chinese pickup truck "Great Wall Wingle 5" is. This car has a nice design, but is poorly protected from corrosion and does not have the most modern interior. On the other hand, this is one of the cheapest pickups on the market, which, in terms of equipment, can create good competition with the UAZ.
