Reader T P L sent in these shots of a lightly taped up truck spotted in Segambut. Could it be the new facelifted Ford Ranger, or maybe a Chevy-badged Isuzu Dmax (Chevy Colorado)? These are the only few possibilities, and the side profile definitely rules the Tata Xenon out. What do you think? Check out more shots after the jump.
UPDATE: Reader chaku/maru has identified this as the Great Wall Wingle, a pick-up truck by a Chinese manufacturer. It has an Euro 3-compliant 2.8 litre direct injection turbodiesel engine that puts out a rather sedate 95 horsepower and 225Nm from 1,600rpm that was developed with the help of Bosch.

Not sure
ohhh…
it seems like the pic is taken from a truck as well..is it any chances,that the 2nd car is actually the same truck as in the pic?hmm…
I think it's the D-Max
The 2009 Ranger Blue Oval logo is above the handle.
its a facelift D-Max….look from the back…..i don like the bars behind the rear window…..look ugly…
it's not Dmax,neither Ranger,it's Great Wall Wingle.i manage to figure it out because the shape of the logo is oval.the car itself looks so china-designed.and of course i've seen the pic of wingle before this.
i mean on the first pic,the taped logo does gives a hint of Great wall logo..oval with a tower inside it.
You are correct.
Here is a pic of the Great Wall Wingle – http://w3.my/d
bro 'chaku' is right… definately G.W Wingle…
might be a great wall truck.. the wingle looks a lot like isuzu.. but if this is a facelifted dmax, it'll be cool. haha . looking forward for a new Dmax.. simply love isuzu trucks
damn.. dissapointed.. hate china's product!!!
btw,the wingle front fascia is a rip-off from VW Magellan concept…
body from Dmax..face from Magellan.

[quote comment="218573"]The front looks so funny…[/quote]
agree with u..not just funny,ugly too!!
China made, Better hate….
95 is ok IF the torque higher. This truck need pickup not hi-speed.
but!… i really doubt china car tech. they should learn more and more again..
let say, wait another 3 years.. perhaps.
their design… are weird!
kick this crap garbage out of the country la . ..
i think the triton lite is even better than this el cheapo, lol
Seen one in Miri, fugly…
ohh finally we've got china truck now. i thought its a colorado too…
chinese car manufacturers cant stop making us laugh with their quality and design… its FUGLY…. Hahahaha….
The frontal design looks bad.
omg. It seem as if it have inverted eyes.
A 2.8L CRDi with only 95hp and 225Nm of torque??? And what's with the design? Dump it together with the TATAs and Tritons. They are killing the very image of what pick-ups are suppose to be! A crying shame!!!
Chiao!
Buruk ler Great Wall.Kene gelak kalo pakai

no.. the cameraman is in a tdci.
Umm..!!, me as a car styling expert, I would say "With no offense of course" that this car has a variant themes when it was designed!. Basically, the car is certainly dressed by Isuzu D-Max body shape. But, when the manufacturer decided to copy this model, it became like "Adidos" instead of "Adidas" when you buy a shoe! If we talk about the front, we will notice a city car flair front. I believe if this vehicle on a pink color, there will be a lot of appeal from the ladies!. But focally, the vehicle has been equipped with the 1994 Opel Corsa slightly enhanced headlights combined with a Toyota Vios/ Yaris Mid-front grill similarity (I didn’t want to say Audi) and an off-road flair front-end lip to remain the Pick up's DNA. If we talk about the back, Tail gate fortunately still 2002 Isuzu D-Max. But, rear lights are quite big for the normal drivers when gets lightning behind. Nice job anyway.
To Malaysians, so long as the design is not boxy and boring like the rest of the trucks in the market, it would sell… on FIRST impression, To me, the truck got its robust look though..
But a test drive on Msian roads would disappoint… or somewhat better than rest.. never know…
If its a low-rider GWM truck, it would slowly build up on customer base thanks to its modern fascia design and possibly low-price strategy..
Good luck to GWM!
Only 98 horsepower from a 2.8litre direct injection diesel?? Even my 2.7litre common-rail diesel produces 165hp, on paper.
me think the front face…. aiyahh, there's no other design anymore ka? ya, funny, weird, and not matching. sincerely, the front face is a compact car face design
