Great Wall Motors (GWM) has launched its second passenger
hatchback in South Africa this week and it’s called the C10. A defining feature
of the C10 is most definitely its front end with its distinct vertical string
grille design which is rather eye- catching.
It must be said however that the C10 may become GWM’s only
passenger car in the market after the base model Florid was recently
discontinued and now only the Florid Cross remains, which could very well face
the axe after the C10’s arrival since they are very similar in size, features
and mechanics.
The GWM C10 is available in one trim level only and customers
may only choose a colour as an option. The C10 is fitted with the same
1.5-litre petrol engine as in the Florid which produces 77kW and 138Nm. The
engine also benefits from Variable Valve Timing. A five speed manual gearbox
does the shifting work for the C10 while there is the possibility of a
automatic variant in the future.
Some of the standard features include a radio/CD player with
MP3 and Auxiliary capability, rear park assist, electric windows, 15” alloy
wheels, remote central locking, height adjustable steering wheel with audio
controls as well as air conditioning. Dual front airbags and ABS brakes with
EBD are also fitted as standard.
The GWM C10 sells for R135 000 which is a tad more
expensive than its rivals the VW Polo Vivo, Ford Figo and the Toyota Etios. The
price includes a 3-year/100 000km warranty and 24hr roadside assistance.
