Model Introduced Year
2025
2013
Generation
Current South African Hunter double-cab diesel generation with one 2WD manual and one 4WD automatic derivative.
Single generation in South Africa from 2013 to 2023, derived from Great Wall's mid-2010s bakkie platform. Discontinued in favour of the P Series and Cannon, which use the more modern POER platform.
Facelift History
No South African facelift has been announced for the current Hunter Diesel range.
Steed 6 received minor updates through its decade on sale — a 2017 specification refresh added the 6-speed automatic option and improved safety equipment levels, and a 2020 update added a touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth to upper trims.

Related comparisons
Continue with closely related South African models and comparable body styles.
There is no universal winner. Use the comparison table to match the exact South African derivatives on price, safety equipment, space, powertrain and ownership cover. The category indicators summarise published catalogue data; they are not a road test or customer rating.
Compare the published consumption or mileage rows for the exact derivatives using the same unit and test basis. A catalogue figure is useful for like-for-like comparison, but traffic, speed, load, weather and driving style can change actual fuel use.
Compare only equipment explicitly listed for each derivative, including airbags, stability control and driver-assistance systems. Confirm the exact trim with the manufacturer, and treat any independent crash-test result separately because equipment and ratings can differ by market.
A reliable five-year total cannot be calculated from catalogue data alone. Add the exact purchase and finance cost, fuel or electricity, insurance quotes, scheduled servicing, tyres and expected resale value. Check whether the selected derivative includes a service or maintenance plan.
Use the seating, boot or load-space, ISOFIX and safety rows as a first check. Then test the exact cars with your child seats, passengers and typical luggage, because published dimensions do not show every access or comfort difference.
Compare the published power, torque and 0–100 km/h rows when they are available for both exact derivatives. Vehicle weight, gearing and power delivery also matter, so catalogue outputs alone do not establish real-world overtaking or response.
