Great Wall Steed: Is it a diesel?

Yes, the Great Wall Steed is powered by diesel engines.

My 2017 Great Wall Steed diesel 4x4 dual-cab won't complete a manual DPF burn.

Answered by David Morley · 02 Jun 2025

Sometimes the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) can become so blocked up that it’s impossible for the vehicle’s onboard systems to clean it. If that’s the case, either manual cleaning or a completely new DPF unit might be required.

A diesel specialist should be able to figure this one out. Until then, you’re stuck with limp-home mode as the vehicle should not be operated without a functioning emissions system, of which the DPF is a crucial part.
