  "account": "Great Wall Motors (GWM) South Africa has announced that their new P300 plug-in hybrid bakkie will be available in the country from the third quarter of the year. Positioned as an alternative to the existing 2.4-litre turbo diesel model, the P300 PHEV will also join the Top 10 Fastest Bakkies in South Africa. The GWM P300 PHEV combines a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine with a 33.1kWh battery pack and an electric motor, boosting its output to 310kW and 750Nm of torque. Both the two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions of the P300 PHEV can go from 0-100km/h in 6.4 and 6.1 seconds, respectively. The P300 PHEV also boasts an all-electric range of 100km (two-wheel drive) and 95km (four-wheel drive) in the WLTP cycle. Although the specific fuel tank size remains undisclosed, a calculated estimate suggests a 70-litre capacity. With no pricing announced yet, the P300 PHEV is expected to cost more than the current P300 range, which starts at R414,950 and goes up to R699,900.",
