GWM Steed 5
There’s no pretending with the GWM Steed 5: this is a workhorse for folks who need double-cab utility without the Hilux or Ranger tax. You’re looking at something squarely in the same value ring as a Mahindra Pik Up or an old-school Nissan NP300 Hardbody. Engine choices are simple—either a 2.2-litre petrol or a 2.0-litre turbodiesel, both paired with manual or semi-automatic boxes. Here’s the real kicker: every one of the 15 Steed 5s on the market right now is used, not a fresh badge among them, which should tell you where it sits in the pecking order. Prices stretch from R160,900 to R309,950, with a median of R239,995, so it’s a straight-up second-hand deal. Most 2.2 MPi Workhorse single cabs cluster around R160,900 to R209,995, making them the gateway option. The 2.0 SX diesel double cabs go higher, R249,900 up to R309,950, with mileage averaging about 75,617 km—honest numbers for a bakkie that’s probably seen a few Karoo sunrises and Joburg traffic snarls. On paper at least, the Steed 5’s appeal is obvious: it’s much cheaper than the mainstream names and isn’t trying to double as your weekend adventure hero. If you pack smart, the diesel SX double cab makes the most sense—proper space, decent efficiency, and a cabin that favours hard buttons over fiddly screens. Lower parts costs and simplicity keep running bills down, which is probably why the Steed 5 keeps earning its keep with buyers who just want their bakkie to get on with the job.
GWM
GWM’s local line-up is a bit of a chameleon—never firmly budget, never quite premium, but straddling both with a spread that runs from R69,500 to a hefty R1,228,950. On paper at least, that says GWM’s not just after the price-conscious bakkie brigade or the SUV set; it wants both, and everyone in the scrum between. The fact that most buyers settle right around R624,948 hints at a sweet spot: not scraping the barrel, but also not chasing Range Rover money. GWM’s angling for the same customer Ford, Isuzu, and Toyota want, and it’s starting to work—look around any Gauteng parking lot, and you’ll spot P-Series and Tank badges sneaking in between Hiluxes and Rangers. With almost a dead-even split between 101 new and 103 used listings, there’s already enough churn in the used market to give newcomers some peace of mind about future resale, and that matters. If you’re shopping GWM, odds are you’re circling the Tank 300. It’s the headline act with 92 listings, priced from R569,800 to R850,885, and marketed as a lifestyle off-roader that doesn’t just talk the talk. The P-Series bakkie is the workhorse of the range, running from R229,000 up to R529,500, so you can go from stepped-on work boots to family road trips without changing badges. Steed 5 keeps things honest at R160,900, still GWM’s most wallet-friendly bakkie if you pack smart. At the other end, the Tank 500—in that R1,110,900 to R1,228,950 bracket—shows GWM’s premium ambitions aren’t just marketing fluff. Double cabs lead the body style tally, and the brand’s mix of petrol, diesel, and hybrid options brings more fuel choices than you’ll see from Ford or Isuzu at similar money. For South Africans weighing value, variety, and future-proofing, GWM suddenly feels hard to ignore.
