8-speed automatic transmission replaced the 6-speed
Great Wall introduced the updated King Kong Cannon pickup truck to the home market (in Russia the car is called Poer Kingkong). There is only one innovation, but a noticeable one: the car is equipped with an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission instead of the 6-speed previously used.
Great Wall King Kong Cannon 8AT was offered in eight trim levels — with all-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive, with a gasoline engine or a diesel engine (both two-liter). The cost starts at 13.8 thousand dollars. The price of the most affordable all-wheel drive version — 15.6 thousand dollars, the price of the top-end — 17.5 thousand dollars.
Equipped with Great Wall King Kong Cannon 8AT — all-wheel disc brakes, ABS and ESP, two airbags, multifunction steering wheel, electronically controlled air conditioning, automatic parking, leather interior. Top versions also have a media system with a large touch screen.
The power of the diesel engine is 163 hp, gasoline — 190 hp The front suspension of the car — on double wishbones, rear — springs.
Will Poer Kingkong with an 8-speed automatic transmission appear in Russia? — The question is open. Our car is presented only with a manual transmission, but there are officially presented pickups with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
