The little handy cubby on thr door is for a small foldable umbrella, so that you don't have to bring a wet umbrella into your car. Hope more competition in Australia. Tesla has dropped at least $35k because of competition, I guess it will keep dropping to match the Chinese EVs.
I always have a brolly in my car for emergencies. The holder idea is a gem. I want one of these utes.
Exactly. Even if you wouldn't consider buying a Chinese car, you'll benefit from the competition that they're bringing.
That's a umbrella box
For the Chinese market version. The is a light which lights up the ground at night when you get off the car. It’s a safety feature basically. Can’t tell if they removed that for Australian market. Maybe just because it is day time so the car did not turn it on😂
Tesla made in China anyway as are most car parts. I don't get the flogs out there saying Chinese is crap.
Cannot get enough of duel cab reviews, thankfully I am satisfied.
The cubby might just be the perfect spot for stashing a bunnings snag for later ☺️
Step out of this and into a Hilux is like step back in time 20 years.
😂😂😂
Put a White flag because Australia can't play rugby anymore 😂😂😂
This is the truth 🤣 perfect for simple folks.
I have a Cannon X and a Hilix (24 SR5) and that isn't true. Toyota is way more refined but I love the Canon. Can't fault it.
@@orangejuicepony6881 exactly you have a cannon not a Cannon Alpha 👍 big difference
Look at the Hilux's interior and you just know Toyota has been treating us like mugs and taking us all for a ride all this time.
I like the simple interior much better but agree, it should reflect in the price.
That door compartment is to store torch or folding umbrella.
Great review, really enjoyed watching and detailed feedback .
Your videos are a joy to watch. Keep up the fantastic work!
Great review, thankyou.
Great review! A towing test would be good. The little cubby great for a small torch or umbrella.
Not GWM fault about the distraction monitor . That is the same with all new cars but you can switch it off or even put a small bit of black tape over it and you don’t be bothered again .
What a review James!
What a great review....
So many things I've seen that you haven't bothered to mention. There's images that keep moving in the panel directly ahead of the front passenger seat. What does that do? There's mood lighting. The attention to detail like branded lighting etc. 24 minutes of watching and I still don't know the car.
Great explanation of the ride on imperfect surfaces, much better than the 'it's too firm' broad statements of other Australian reviews
I’ve been to China, on business, over 50 times since the late 90’s. My money for those little side “bins” in the rear door frame are designed for mini umbrellas. As having a tan is regarded as being poor (not to be used to keep you dry).
White skin's still a good thing in China
that small compartment is perfect for "trees"
GWM bring the Canon alpha hi4T AUSTRALIA
What's that mate?
@@davidscott820 the plug in version of hybrid of GWM. no as good as BYD's DMO
A torch or umbrella would be good for the cubby.
This opens a new markedt. Imagine the next/current Prado ute..
You can store a camping knife as an emergency
Great Review - Please Review the Latest Competitor to this ASAP the LDV T60 Max Plus...
The cubby might be a good place for a torch
This review is very well done, makes me understand the car without driving it
Either an emergency torch or a multitool knife in one side, and a basic first aid kit on the other.
It'll have to be a DIY type of thing.
A torch in that cubby hole behind the rear doors. Chinese vehicles have certainly picked up quicker than other brands over the years.
I’m coming home Daddie
Just wait till the byd shark hits the market
I own Cannon L and my issue is the acceleration . How does this feel ? Does it take off quicker than my diesel engine ? And how is the engine noise are they like SUV?
He said in the review that the acceleration was very good.
For how long is the car able to give the max torque? I am thinking for long sessions of 4x4 will the battery dies at some stage and leave you with a poor 2LT engine struggling?
It's not a plug in hybrid. The batteries are charged off the combustion engine and brakes.
Use it to secure the straps for tie down
Jeez these things are so much better than any Toyota.
Is it double glazed windows all round??
Probably put a flash light or small folding ambarella in the rear door pillar storage.
So this is equivalent to the Ute version of the Tank 500. The Tank 500 is a real eye opener in every way. 0 to 100 kmh in 6.9 sec. The elect motor has so much Torque its not funny. Go read up on the Tank 500 to see what people think of it, as this ute is more of same. Tank 500 is a Prado style wagon. Tank 500 Fuel economy on Eco mode is 8.5L per 100km
This version has been changed. In China, there are lights that turn on when you open the door.
That's why it's called "EYESIGHT" technology.... not "Sunglasses" technology. My Subaru Forester doe sthe same... I just push 3 buttons in a nano second and turn the whole shebang off.... back to basics 😂
Should cause Toyota and Ford to drop prices
China gets the more potent version. I wonder why?
Euro6 compliance.
Is this full time 4WD or part time? Can you drive 4WD on sealed roads? Getting mixed I go from different reviews
The Cannon Alpha uses the same 4x4 system as the GWM Ute, which means you can use the 4x4 system on sealed roads, It is a part-time system, and switching to Eco mode will see it operate in two-wheel drive, otherwise it operates as as a four-wheel drive.
@@Drivecomau thanks!!
That little battery will cop a hammering and will be replaced before the warranty is up
Better than needing to be replaced after warranty is up.
Fuel consumption?
really high
Why the comparison to a RAM, which cost more than $100K and would never fit in a shopping center car park.
The little cubby storage was design by the led step light they removed the export cars
The interior looks better than in a ford ranger.
Just saw a hilux a my local hardware store , looked again it was a Chinese tundra !
Perfect for Bushmans Bug Spray, after all, you are in the bush
The reviewer keeps trying to compare the Alpha to trucks like the Ram and F150 which is a bullshit comparison. The Alpha (Shanhai) is still a mid sized pickup it's not a full size like the F150 or Ram. You can't compare it to full size. Comparing the Alpha to an F150 is like comparing a Miata and an Aventador because theyre both sports cars....
Wait you Ozzies when BYD land the Shark in down under, all others with get caught their pants down.
the top spec of this Ute in China is more premium than this, the cubby hole is a welcome light projecting to the ground when you open the door. Bur here in Australia, it's downgraded, also the rear suspension is like Tank 500,also there is a performance version in China.
Hiding ya gear when you’re going into a festival 😂
How about you guys review the life of the battery? - is it 100,000 miles like a Prius then your up for $10,000 plus after 3 to 5 years?
8 year/160000 km warranty
You want a 100,000 mile review on a brand new to market car? Show me a picture of you at 80.
I agree….that little battery will be working pretty hard. It might do 10 cycles a day so maybe 50 a week, that’s 2500 a year. Might last 3-4 years at that rate
@@manimalworks7424don’t mistake warranty for reliability. A lot of brands worked out that you pay for the warranty up front and they just replace stuff if and when it fails depending on how it’s driven
@paulsimpson8990 and you get a brand new replacement under your 8 year warranty. Where's the problem?
put a torch not a red bull can .-
Have a cannon and love it and would never buy a hybrid.
How is overtaking when the battery is low/flat ?
The 2.0T engine has around 250hp itself which is already enough I guess
It's not a plug in hybrid. Batteries are kept charged by the petrol engine and braking.
Au$65K for 4cyl turbo!😂
Lol Puslux is a 4cyl turbo
Will be worth 15k in two years.
all petrol cars in China depreciate really fast now. BMW, Audy, Porsche 30% off for new cars
In the real country its simple, no diesel= do not touch, did we mention parts availability? as for Hybrid, where do I begin..... lol
Might suit those in the city who like to play make believe.
The diesel version is actually much cheaper and would be my choice.
@@manimalworks7424 Good for you, but never will be found on my farm.
Why what’s the problem
I don't know man. I've seen plenty of Y62 in the outback and they sure aren't diesel
@@wyc4934 ? lol , try and store petrol on a farm, we better leave it here.
game over toyota
The only realistic way you can tow 3.5T with this is to do it solo.
No kids in the back, the Mrs stays home, nothing but a beach towel in the tray and add a full tank of fuel.
The Chinese clearly aren't good at designing engines or carrying loads.
Lol, you're very Australian aren't you. Come to Africa. We will show you it not only axceed the payload but can carry double the exceeded payload plus a whole family plus one more of the exceeded payload without a twitch.
I was suspicious of the overwhelmingly positive top comments. Scrolled down all the way to yours, three from bottom. And it's hardly harsh criticism. But down at the pub Chinese cars are rightfully laughing stock. That's the censors at work.
Just upgrade the suspension.
@@2pintsofcremedementh is it because youre an absolute fkwit?
These so called car reviewers are afraid to mention one vital information is the resale value and reliability of these chinese made cars. No matter how you look at it chinese made products will never be as good as japanese..
Chinese spacecrafts were also dismissed as never be in the same class as those from NASA. What do you know? Their Change 6 just made a soft landing on the dark side of the moon, just a couple of hours ago. Meanwhile NASA Artemis 2 moon mission is still on the launching pad.
Like their high speed trains are now on the same level as Japan. Never say never when it comes to China.
will never be as good as japanese -- 🤣 japanese cars? Fraud from fuel consumption to airbags. Anyone who buys toyota corolla and camery is laughed at in China.
talk about resale value, should compare with the sale price, not just the dollar value
Resale value? 😢 reliability 😢 sale price 🎉
I'm so sceptical about these cars... yeah they may be great value... and I might just be a conspiracy theorist... but are they just a way for China to collect more data from us? Facial recognition with 'driver attention monitoring", data on where we are travelling around, recording of conversations both in the car and Bluetooth... In the event of conflict with China could they just shut all these cars down remotely? I really do sound like a conspiracy theorist don't I... 😊
No one tonne payload comprises business usability and tax deductibility.
What it means is, it comparative to a US mid size pickup, not the Asian size we get. I laugh at the weights, don’t you mean the crap tradies drop all over the highways.
Hybrid junk.
🏳️🌈🤨?
you'll be driving one someday. don't think for one second that you'll be driving combustion forever.
*Chinese junk. Toyota makes sensible, reliable hybrids, although I prefer old school mechanical diesel injection.......try turning that off remotely!
Just try one, bring yourself into the present day.
