The GWM P300 LS is a major player in South Africa’s bakkie segment.
From its robust towing capacity, to its potent engine, to sturdy traction features – the P300 LS does it all.
We unpack what makes the P300 LS one of the most impressive bakkies in South Africa, below.
Powerful performance
The GWM P300 LS is powered by a 2.4-litre turbocharged diesel engine that generates 135kW and 480Nm.
Combined with a 9-speed automatic gearbox, this power stacks up well in the South African double cab segment.
Even with this power, fuel consumption averages out to only 8.2l/100km, highlighting an impressive balance between performance and efficiency.
Driving this vehicle is a breeze, too, as it comes with a plethora of assistance features, including:
- Cruise control
- ABS

- Driver attention alert
- Rear parking sensors
- Reverse camera.
In combination, these features provide a smoother and safer driving experience.
Towing capabilities
The GWM P300 LS comes in two configurations – rear-wheel and four-wheel drive.
The rear-wheel drive model can tow up to 3,000kg, while the 4×4 version can tow up to 3,500kg.
This compares favourably with competing bakkies, making this double cab a total workhorse for South Africans.
Even in tough towing conditions, driving is made easier with a variety of design choices, including the inclusion of automatic LED headlights, daytime running lights, and rain-sensing wipers.
Rounding out this impressively-built bakkie are 18-inch alloy wheels with silver brake calipers, fixed side steps, roof rails, a chassis guard, an electronic-lock tailgate, and a full-sized steel spare wheel.
For buyers comparing double cab bakkies in this segment, the P300 LS provides the core requirements of capability and durability with the added benefit of modern features and competitive pricing.
