Interesting they've managed to get VGT turbos working reliably on unleaded engine, no one aside from Porsche had bothered because they have issues with the high EGT generated by unleaded engines in comparison to Diesel.
Remains to be seen but it does say the 9sp auto is destined to replace the 8 speed ZF in all GWM products, so as the ute we get features the 8 speed id assume that includes our market.
The engine and 9 speed have been developed together so again it would be fair to assume whatever gets the 9 speed will get the engine, especially if they want to take on Ranger and it arrives with an EB.

Would the liquid intercooler be the key to the VGT turbos as it keeps temps down?
