The GWM Steed range caters for virtually all uses you can imagine. The Steed 5 is a wonderful, affordable workhorse that is as at home on site as it is on the road. The Steed 5E refines things a little more, making it easier to live with on the school run, but it's still hardy enough to go on an adventure with. The Steed 6 is the one for around town and the city, with more luxurious appointments and features. Don't worry, this one is still perfect for that trip to the bush or a weekend fishing trip.

With the attractive prices of the Steed 5E, we can understand why you would be attracted to it, in fact, we can't blame you if you bought one. Here's our list of 5 accessories that we think will make all the difference to your ownership experience.
1. Upgraded infotainment
EvoRevo4x4 offers a high-tech upgrade for the infotainment system in the GWM Steed 5E. The Steed 5E already has a fairly decent touchscreen infotainment system but who wouldn't appreciate better sound clarity, more features and a revised Sat-Nav system? This unit also includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to allow for seamless smartphone tethering.
This upgrade is compatible with the multifunction steering wheel controls, has Bluetooth, USB and Aux inputs and is front and rear camera ready. Best of all, it comes with the trim plate needed for a clean installation.
2. GWM Steed 5E Sports Bar
A sports bar may seem to be a safety upgrade but the truth is that it's more a style accessory than anything else. This sports bar for the Steed 5E certainly looks the part and is crafted from 304 series stainless steel. With its oval side plates and mirror finish, it's a stylish addition to your Steed 5E that will elevate the profile immediately.
3. GWM Steed 5E Nudge Bar
Complement the sports bar by continuing the theme around the front of your Steed 5E as well. You can do this with a matching nudge bar that will instantly add rugged bush credibility to your 5E. Perfect for those adventures in the bush, where small trees and branches get in your way, this nudge bar will help ensure that your radiator is protected.
4. GWM Steed 5E Tonneau Cover
If you're finding that you use the load bin more infrequently than frequently, the idea of a tonneau cover may appeal to you. It will prevent excess dust and dirt from building up in the load bin and will help create a cleaner, tidier appearance. This tonneau cover is mounted on an aluminium track to prevent rust and the cover itself is UV stabilized for years of outdoor exposure.
5. Wheels
We've said it before and it bears repeating, that wheels are the single most significant change you can make to a vehicle when you're looking to personalize it. The Steed 5E is fitted with a good-looking set of wheels as standard, but if you'd like to go up to a 17- or 18-inch design, there's a host of designs to choose from. You will need wheels with a 6 x 139.7 PCD, but from there, the diameter, width and offset is only limited by your budget!
