Exploring the Ride Comfort and Performance of the Poer 300
When hitting the open road, the Poer 300’s ride comfort may leave something to be desired. The vehicle can feel unsettled by bumps and cracks at low speeds, with this fidgeting persisting even on faster B-roads. Although it does smooth out somewhat at motorway speeds, it falls short compared to competitors like the Ford Ranger, and the constant movement on longer journeys could become tiresome.
Despite this, the Poer 300 is easy to maneuver and place on the road. The light steering may lack a bit of feedback, but it still instills confidence in the driver. While it may not offer a completely car-like driving experience in terms of dynamics, it proves to be competent on various terrains.
GWM has equipped the Poer 300 with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), including features like lane-keeping assistance and speed limit warnings. These functions are not overly aggressive and can be easily deactivated with a simple press of a button on the steering wheel.
Impressions on Towing and Off-Roading
One of the key requirements for a pickup truck is its towing capability, and the Poer 300 shows promise in this area. With a towing capacity of 3500kg, on par with competitors like the Ranger and Musso, the Poer 300 proves to be a strong workhorse.
During our tests, we put the Poer 300 to the test with a heavy load, towing a large car trailer with a Haval Jolion Pro on top, totaling around three tonnes. The vehicle effortlessly pulled through soaking wet fields, showcasing its potential for towing heavy loads with ease.
