The 2026 GWM P-Series, which is also sold as the GWM Poer or GWM P300 in other markets, is the newest entrant in the mid-size pickup category, proving to be such a disruptor in Kenya, for it presents one thing Kenyans love in a vehicle, actually two. Premium features at an affordable acquisition cost. With such accolades, it is already a darling to pickup lovers, thus giving the likes of the Hilux and D-Max a run for their money. The GWM P-Series is not only stylish on face value, but boasts excellent off-road capability and high towing capacity. If you want something different, an alternative to other popular pick-ups, the P-Series is your next affordable stop.
