Can China destroy the Ford Ranger Raptor? Great Wall Cannon Everest is the most powerful model of the brand!

Great Wall Everest is the brand's most durable truck.

Great Wall has taken the wraps off the toughest road with the introduction of the new Everest, equipped with an off-road kit to take on the likes of the Ford Ranger Raptor and Nissan Navara Warrior.

Shown at the Chengdu International Auto Show, the Everest is based on the Great Wall Cannon specification with some serious equipment, increased fording depth and even a beefed up chassis.

Everest (as well as Mount) is a familiar name for Ford fans in Australia, which means it will most likely need to be changed for our marker.

The story begins with a snorkel, which the brand says increases fording depth to 700mm, and a 4300kg winch, chassis-strengthened to support extra traction.

The tube means that Everest can ford deep.

There are also three locking differentials, and the 4WD system has been upgraded to include manually shifted 2H, 4H and 4L functions.

Make no mistake, this is a blow to the nose of cars like the Ford Ranger Raptor and Great Wall takes it very seriously. This includes the installation of a new Off-Road Expert modem that automatically disables driving aids (such as sensors and traction and stability controls) to give the driver full control. There's also a new creep mode and a four-wheel reversal feature.

The Great Wall Cannon has become more rigid.

The Everest is powered by a proprietary 2.0-litre turbodiesel (120kW and 400Nm) mated to an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission. It is still 5410mm long, 1934mm high and 1886mm wide, with a wheelbase of 3230mm. As standard, it will offer approach, exit and ramp angles of 27 degrees, 25 degrees and 21.1 degrees respectively, although these figures have yet to be updated for Everest.

Great Wall Everest has yet to be confirmed for the Australian market. GWM has been contacted for comment.
