GWM South Africa has introduced the updated P500 bakkie lineup – of which we sampled the range-topping, HEV derivative at the local launch in 2024 – to South Africa, with the revised model now sporting “bold” new black exterior trim finishes.

In lieu of the pre-facelifted model’s chrome-finished front grille, the refreshed models gain black trim for the latter item, as well as wing mirrors, roof rails, and sports bar. The LED head- and taillamps have received the “smoked-glass” treatment.

Included in the sticker price are a seven-year/200 000 km warranty and service plan spanning the same duration or 75 000 km. The HEV model includes an eight-year/150 000 km warranty for its hybrid system’s battery.

  • GWM P500 2.4T 4×4 Luxury AT – R799 900
  • GWM P500 2.4T 4×4 Super Luxury AT – R889 900

As a reminder, this GWM bakkie is available with the choice of two powertrain options: a 135 kW/480 N.m 2.4-litre, four-cylinder turbodiesel, which also does duty in the P300, and a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbopetrol-hybrid that produces a total system output of 255 kW and 648 N.m of torque. All models are equipped with four-wheel drivetrains and nine-speed automatic transmission.
