Galloper is bringing two new 4x4s, Anayet and Gredos, to Spain. Named after Spanish mountains, the models are meant to reflect the country’s geography through their names and character.
The company is now fully Spanish-owned and plans to restart operations in October 2026. Its strategy centers on off-road ability and fair pricing, with after-sales service also in the plan. Galloper will initially open 35 dealerships, aiming to reach 60 by the end of the year. A parts warehouse in Barcelona is also planned to speed up support across Spain. Several independent Spanish and European automotive outlets report that sales will officially start in October 2026, with expansion into other European markets planned for later. One report puts Galloper’s network at 44 sales points across 13 autonomous communities, indicating expansion beyond the initial plans.
Both Anayet and Gredos are built by Coronet under a long-standing license from Dongfeng Zhengzhou. The partnership has produced vehicles used in Asia and Latin America, with a presence in Eastern Europe as well. They are known for reliability and toughness in demanding conditions. Galloper is drawing on this experience for its Spanish relaunch, using tried-and-tested mechanical platforms. Industry sources describe the technical base as familiar: the Anayet is essentially a rebadged Nissan Navara D23, while the Gredos SUV is based on the pre-facelift Nissan Terra. Both use frame-based construction, rather than an entirely new design.
Production takes place in China at Anhui Coronet under license from Zhengzhou Nissan, a joint venture between Dongfeng and Nissan. The arrangement gives the revived Spanish brand access to an established Chinese manufacturing and supply chain, with stated aims of cost efficiency and proven quality.
The Anayet pick-up is named after a volcanic system in the Aragonese Pyrenees, whose summit reaches 2,574 meters. The model is meant to evoke energy and change, with forward momentum reflecting its geological namesake. Designed as a multifunctional workhorse that does not sacrifice comfort, it aims to serve professionals as well as everyday drivers. Independent publications report that the Anayet/Ayanet pick-up will start at around 26,000 euros. The Gredos SUV is expected to start at 39,000 euros, although one source gives a lower entry price of 36,000 euros, which the brand has yet to confirm.
The Gredos SUV takes its name from the Sierra de Gredos in the Central System, which stretches across Ávila, Cáceres, Madrid and Salamanca. Its highest peak, Almanzor, rises to 2,592 meters. The model is associated with endurance and flexibility, and is designed to handle tough terrain. Both vehicles have a 2.0-liter turbocharged Mitsubishi petrol engine producing about 218 to 220 hp. They are paired with an 8-speed ZF automatic gearbox. BorgWarner all-wheel lead works with a low-range transfer case, while a locking rear differential completes the setup. Multiple independent automotive publications report these specifications.
Every Galloper will come with a three-year warranty, extendable to six years or 150,000 kilometers. CEO Carlos Lobato said the names matter: “We wanted the names to have a real connection with Spain and its geography. As a company with 100% Spanish capital, our identity is linked to the territory and we believe our geography deserves to be honored.”
Galloper plans to draw on Spain’s natural features for future model names, building a product line with a local identity. Several Spanish media outlets say the brand aims to fill a gap in Spain for affordable, frame-based 4x4s, where simplicity and towing power matter, while price remains basic.
Galloper’s return comes as the Spanish car market changes. As recent developments show, several long-standing models are leaving the market, creating room for new brands with a strong local focus.
The Galloper name has a history in Spain: it disappeared more than 20 years ago. Multiple independent sources describe its return as a move to draw on brand recognition and nostalgia.
