The story

The Great Wall Sailor (Chinese: 长城賽鈴; pinyin: Chángchéng Sàilíng) is a full-size pickup truck produced by Great Wall Motors from 2001 to 2010.

What is underneath

Power comes from 2.2L GW491QE I4. It weighs 1640 kg–1760 kg. It shifts through a 5-speed manual. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.

Its place in the line

Its family tree is legible: its successor was the Great Wall Wingle; assembly was at Baoding. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Honda Fit, the Honda Accord, the Volvo XC90 — show what else the money bought that year. Nearby in the Great Wall Motor catalogue sit the Great Wall Coolbear and the Great Wall Cowry.
