The GWM C20R – this affordable hatch has joined the club!
Local buyers will now have a new option under the compact hatch segment thanks to GWM’s new C20R.
Based on the company’s popular C10 hatch, the C20R can be easily distinguised by its new front grille and design. The C20R comes standard with 16-inch alloy wheels and, with a ground clearance of 172 mm, is not only well suited to the rough and tumble of city driving, but also the occasional gravel road on the way to the weekend getaway.
The C20R will be offered locally in a range of colours, including fashionable orange, ocean blue, maple red, pearl black, sky silver and titanium white.
A 1,5-litre petrol engine powers the car and the feuatures include the driver’s seat that is adjustable for height, adjustable steering wheel, air-conditioning, electric power steering, electric window and mirror adjustment, remote audio controls, height-adjustable headlamps, rear-park assist and a radio/CD/MP3 sound system with auxiliary and USB inputs.
The boot features a handy double-floor design and the rear seats can not only fold forward, but also offer reclining and sliding functionality. The overall design theme in the cabin is one of sportiness and quality, best evidenced by the aluminium-look pedals, cylindrical instrumention and tactile nature of the curvy facia.
The C20R is available through GWM’s comprehensive dealership network, currently boasting more than 70 outlets and service centres. Priced at R154 900, the C20R is backed by a comprehensive 3-years/100 000 km warranty, 2-years/24-hour roadside assistance and, for the first time on a GWM SA product, a service plan of 3-years/45 000 km
