This SUV From China Is As Cheap As A Myvi. Would You Get One?

Go Automobile Manufacturing (Go Auto) today launched the Great Wall M4, with initial deliveries of the compact SUV now set to begin in August. The vehicle was previewed in left-hand drive form in January, and back in May was teased for a June launch.

Power comes from a 1.5-litre petrol engine with an output of 103 bhp/138 Nm. Intelligent variable valve timing plus a 6-speed automatic transmission (5-speed manual also available) enables the M4 to go up to almost 17 kms/litre, it is claimed. As with many other new SUV models in the market, the M4 has front-wheel drive only.

Whichever variant it is, the M4 – which measures in at 3,961 mm long, 1,728 mm wide and 1,617 mm tall, with a 2,383 mm-long wheelbase and 185 mm ground clearance – will be powered by a normally-aspirated 1.5 litre VVT MPI four-pot offering 105 hp at 6,000 rpm and 138 Nm at 4,200 rpm.

Finalised pricing hasn’t been revealed, but Go Auto has announced that the M4 is due to go on sale priced from RM45k to RM59k, depending on variant. A total of three variants (Standard, Comfort, Premium) will be available, in both manual and transmission form, according to the company.

China’s Great Wall Motors (GWM), through its licensed manufacturer in Malaysia, Go Automobile Manufacturing (GO Auto), recently launched the M4 Compact SUV which breaks price barriers with a price range of RM45,000 – RM59,000.

The 2013 Perodua Myvi is an evolution of the previous Perodua Myvi, carrying on the proven strategy of providing genuine value for money. Pricing from RM41,937 to RM61,213

With cheerful looks, decent comfort and room for seven, the 2013 Toyota Rush represents good value for its price tag. It is no Toyota RAV4, but the 2013 Toyota Rush should still win over plenty of fans, in no small part because it wears the Toyota badge. Price from RM86,018 to RM93,610

The first examples will be 40 manual transmission CBU units from China, and another 160 manual CBU vehicles are set to make up the second batch. Following this, local assembly will take over, with the first CKD M4s set to roll out from the company’s Gurun plant in October. When this happens, the EEV is set to go on sale only in automatic transmission form.

The model is produced at a joint-venture plant in Gurun, Kedah, which has an investment of RM2 billion and which will produce up to 50,000 units annually. The plant output will eventually rise to 100,000 units a year, of which 60% will be exported mainly to other ASEAN countries with AFTA privileges that allow it to be exempted from import duty.
