GWM Steed 6

Steed 6 is a discontinued South African Pickup with historical specifications for used-car research.

For a decade, the Steed 6 was the entry point for SA buyers curious about Chinese bakkies — offering basic but legitimate workhorse capability at price points that started below R200,000 and rarely exceeded R400,000 even in flagship trim. The Steed 6 used a 2.0-litre turbocharged diesel producing 105 kW and 315 Nm of torque, paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic gearbox. Three body styles were offered — Single Cab, Double Cab and Double Cab 4x4 — with the 4x4 variant using a part-time selectable system with low-range transfer case. Safety equipment was minimal compared to current standards — two airbags, ABS, but no electronic stability control on early variants and no advanced driver-assistance systems. For the buyer who couldn't justify a Hilux or Ranger price tag, the Steed 6 was a legitimate working bakkie at half the money. Owners reported strong performance from the turbodiesel engine over normal mileages, but the transmission (particularly the early 5-speed manuals) had some recurring issues with synchroniser wear. The Steed 6 remains on the SA used market in numbers, with prices ranging from R85,000 for early high-mileage examples to R230,000 for low-mileage late models. For the South African used-bakkie buyer with a tight budget and a need for basic workhorse capability, the Steed 6 remains a reasonable option at the right price. Single generation in South Africa from 2013 to 2023, derived from Great Wall's mid-2010s bakkie platform. Three variants — Single Cab Manual (entry-level workhorse), Double Cab Manual/Automatic (lifestyle 4x2), and Double Cab 4x4 Automatic (flagship with part-time 4WD). Rear-wheel-drive on workhorse and lifestyle variants; part-time 4WD with low-range on the 4x4 flagship. Budget-conscious bakkie buyers in South Africa during its 2013-2023 production run — tradesmen, small business owners, rural farmers and first-time bakkie owners who needed basic workhorse capability at the most accessible price point in the market. The Steed 6 is not best understood by one headline number. Its appeal comes from the interaction between a power output of 105 kW, a 5-Speed Manual transmission and a 5-Speed Manual transmission. Steed 6 is discontinued in South Africa, so a used example should be judged by condition, service history, parts support and remaining cover rather than a new-car price promise

Driving fit

Where the GWM Steed 6 Fits Best

A practical view of the buyer and roads this model is best suited to.

Who buys this

The best buyer for Steed 6 can describe a recurring reason for choosing its pickup layout. Then compare a power output of 105 kW and a 5-Speed Manual transmission with insurance, tyres, maintenance and the monthly finance payment

City
Functional in urban duty but compromised by limited safety equipment and basic interior. The urban test for Steed 6 should resemble the owner’s route: a cold start, queues, kerbs, a narrow turn and a place where people or goods must be loaded. The vehicle’s a 4x2 RWD drivetrain is only useful if access and visibility work in practice
Highway
Long-term reliability of the Steed 6 in South African use was mixed. For highway buyers, the Steed 6 needs to make sense when passengers, luggage or work equipment are aboard. A listed payload of 1000 helps frame the vehicle’s intended workload; do not assume that a larger body automatically brings more reserve or comfort
Off-Road
Ground clearance is only one part of the rough-road answer for Steed 6. For Steed 6, the sensible check is the exact 4x2 rwd arrangement, tyre specification, load and protection underneath. Stay cautious where the local data does not state clearance or wading depth for Steed 6. A buyer whose routine includes construction tracks or isolated farm roads should compare a vehicle with documented capability rather than infer it from styling for Steed 6

GWM Steed 6 — Should You Buy It?

Not yet rated: no complete Hagalu editorial review is published for this model range. The buyer guidance below is not a scored review.

A used-buying option only when condition, history and remaining support justify the price.

Tradesmen, small business owners and rural farmers in particular embraced the Steed 6 throughout its decade on sale, and the typical use case — local delivery work, farm utility, low-mileage commercial duty — suited the bakkie's basic-but-functional brief well. A fair review of Steed 6 should end with the owner’s route, not a universal verdict. The combination of a 5-Speed Manual transmission, a 4x2 RWD drivetrain and a rear-wheel drive drivetrain can be valuable for the right driver. The buying case for Steed 6 is specific. A pickup body gives it a reason to be considered, while Diesel power and engine of 2-litre Turbocharged Diesel set the boundaries for Steed 6. It deserves a shortlist when those details solve a repeated South African driving need for Steed 6. It is less persuasive when the buyer is paying for unused capacity or assuming that another derivative’s equipment applies here for Steed 6. Compare the written price, the nearest grade and one genuine alternative before deciding for Steed 6
