Depending on the trim level you get 17 to 19-inch alloy wheels. This truck also features a retractable rear step which makes getting in and out of the load bin easy and efficient.
Moving inside, the P-Series has a clean cabin fitted with premium soft-touch materials and advanced tech features giving you a luxurious SUV-like feel. It has a high-tech 9″ touchscreen that comes standard with voice recognition, Carplay, Android Auto, and wireless charging for your convenience.

Where to Buy the GWM P-Series in Kenya
If you are looking to buy the GWM P-Series in Kenya then you are in the right place and we can help you to secure your dream car. We recommend importing due to the following reasons:
- Quality – You get to choose the best quality car. You are not at the mercy of the local dealers. Cars sold locally are usually of the lowest quality and often of high mileage.
- Choice – With import, you get to dictate the choice of features that you want. You can define your preferences to greater detail such as colour, upholstery, sunroof, alloy rims etc.
- Affordability – Import is much more affordable since you eliminate middlemen and brokers that exaggerate the cost of locally sold cars.
