Poer
Value-priced mid-size pickup with 4WD muscle and modern tech at an accessible price · 5 seats
REPRESENTATIVE PHOTOOptical Chemist / PexelsOur verdict
6.5 / 10The GWM Poer is one of the most affordable proper 4WD pickups on sale in the UAE, undercutting rivals like the Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger by a substantial margin. Its 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine delivers a strong 360 Nm of torque and the modern 8-speed auto is well-matched to UAE conditions. Buyers get a genuinely feature-rich cabin for the price, including ADAS tech that rivals costing far more omit as standard. The trade-off is brand perception — GWM remains a niche player in a market that strongly favours Japanese and American names — and resale values lag accordingly.
Who it's for — Budget-conscious buyers who need a capable dual-cab 4WD pickup for both work and weekend use, and are willing to accept lower brand recognition in exchange for significant savings over established rivals.
