GWM SA has introduced a refreshed version of its small M4 compact SUV.

In addition to the features offered by the previous model, which includes Bluetooth connectivity, cruise control, electric windows and automatic air-conditioning, the M4 now boasts daytime running lamps, reverse radar and a car locating function.

Motivation is provided by a 1,5-litre petrol engine that produces 71kW and 138Nm of torque. The power is sent to the front wheels via a five-speed manual transmission.

Apart from ABS with EBD, the M4’s safety features include dual airbags, a seatbelt unfastening warning system, child seat anchorages and child door locks.

The M4 retails for R189 900, which includes a five-year/100 00km warranty. A five-year/60 000km service plan is an optional extra.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
