Naming / Lineage
[edit]I'm attempting to straighten out some of the naming of this vehicle.
I believe the official, international English name of this vehicle lineup is Poer, not Pao — the latter is simply the romanization of the Chinese name, 炮.
This, from GWM's official press release of the announcement:
GWM has chosen the name “POER” for its international pickup market. The name is inspired by Chinese character “炮” (Pao), representing the bursting energy in the concept of Great Wall Pickup that is Power, Peak and Perfect with safety and fun driving experiences under any circumstance
Can anyone confirm this?
Second, it seems GWM is attempting to establish POER as the Marque (not simply a single model) for what has until now been simply GWM Trucks — similar to their other marques of HAVAL, WEY, ORA, and TANK. Again, can anyone confirm this? — No coffee, please. (talk) 07:27, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

Great Wall Pao → Great Wall Ute – It is marketed in Australia as the Great Wall Ute (formerly) / GWM Ute (currently) in Australia and New Zealand, should be moved to either as per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:CARNAMES. It is called the GWM P-Series in South Africa though. Not stuart60 (talk) 10:24, 26 January 2026 (UTC)

Great Wall Pao → GWM Cannon – I missed that the GWM Ute changed its name to the Cannon, oops. Thanks to Andra Febrian for pointing it out when reverting the move! Proposing to move it to its current Australian name. Not stuart60 (talk) 04:32, 3 February 2026 (UTC) — Relisting. Vestrian24Bio 13:10, 10 February 2026 (UTC)
