Wingle 3 (2006–2010)
The Great Wall Wingle 3 (Chinese: 长城风骏; pinyin: Chángchéng Fēngjùn), previously the Great Wall Wingle, is a compact pick-up truck built and marketed by the Chinese automaker Great Wall Motors since December 2006. In 2009, it became the first Chinese-made ute or pick-up to be sold in Australia, where it is marketed as the V-Series.[2] It was also made available in Italy, with the model name Steed.[1]
The body shell design heavily resembles earlier Isuzu/GM model which was sold as an Isuzu Rodeo.[3][4] The steering wheels used in the truck are Toyota designs found in models like the Camry and Sienna.
