Just drove the Cannon L on the weekend. It drives very well. Gearbox is spot on. Plenty of pick up. Very quiet inside. There is turbo lag and in reverse i noticed quite a bit of surging when I was trying to park. I couldn’t get the throttle placement right to smoothly reverse park. Mind you, I’m coming from a 09 Hilux SR5 I’ve had for 5 years. Jumped back in it after the Cannon and it was like returning to the dark ages. Loud, tractor like and rough. I am concerned about GWM build quality but with a 7yr warranty should I be? I also had 5yr fixed price servicing confirmed by the dealer in Brisbane. Going to take it for another albeit longer drive

Please do a review on the 3rd gen haval h6 when they arrive, we are interested to know reveiws from the oz perspectives
Have been looking for a ute for a while and have driven all the major brands. Need 1000kg+ payload so that FBT doesn't come into play so that scrubs most of the mid to higher spec utes except for Mazda/Isuzu and Ssangyong XLV. Triton GLS 920kg and Ranger 3.2 XLT Auto 940kg are out of the mix as are the higher spec models. So I drove Cannon-L and Cannon-X. The Cannon doesnt have quite as much 'go' as Triton and Ranger but runs an 8 Speed BorgWarner transmission that works just fine. With 1050kg payload, constant 4wd, rear diff lock and tech that's way above anything else in the market the big question is 'risk' on the new model. Well it comes with 7year warranty and 5yr roadside assist so I've bitten the bullet and ordered an 'X'. Simply can't argue with the value proposition and ROI for a working vehicle that should play well too. Everyone say's "but what about the resale?". Well when a comparable (almost) spec Ranger costs mid-high $60s, the $20K saved and invested more than offsets the resale difference and contributes a big chunk to a trade to the the update model in a few years time. I see the GWM Cannon being to GWM what the iLoad has been to Hyundai, and I think it'll set the cat amongst the pigeons.
Plenty of happy new owners on the Facebook owners group, no bad issues unlike the Ldv T60. Really nice in the flesh and surprisingly good fit and finish
Nah mate educate yourself buying made in china made by international company with thier quality control vs owned Chinese owned / communist government owned. Hope your peanut brain can comprehend the difference.
@@timyang8328 what a stupid stupid comment. Lets see..... Dewalt country of origin USA, big difference between international company manufacturing in China, due cheap labour (slave), with thier quality control vs a Chinese owned CCP company.

@@timyang8328 yeah since China is aging society in 5 yrs it will become a dying society bc of the one child policy and low fertility rate. I imagine things will be made more from India and vietnam 😅
I was set on a Ranger until I saw how much prices have jumped since Covid. Then I swayed towards a Triton since it is better bang-for-buck. Then I saw this video. Now I might have some more thinking to do. Although I'm unsure on the bigger size and smaller engine compared to the Triton, there is still a hell of a lot of car for the money. Maybe measuring up garage entrance will be the determining factor. And whether or not the genuine accessories such as canopy will work.
Go for it Gavin.. I test drove it its brilliant ..still working hard so I can afford to buy it. It drives like a dream ..its so powerful and luxurious...and the safety specs are more than what you get in a hilux and a ranger. Infact technology overall. Join the GWM P series group on Facebook to see how its storming the Market in South Africa in just 3 months
I bought the Navara last month mate new 2021 models can carry a ton as well as 3.5ton tow for FBT etc. Not as much tech on lower models but a brand that you know
They know how to build cars, they build 6 or 7 million a year so that's not the issue, probably dealer support would be my main concern in this country, but it's almost half. The price of a comparative top spec Hilux, that's incredible
Meh so far, doing pretty well. Especially back home in the country that I'm from (Zimbabwe, Africa) they're selling like hotcakes. Over there, a luxury car that's for the average person would be like a navara. So this thing with it's luxury as well as cheap asking price... Couldn't ask for more.
I was in China just before the pandemic and their car industry is huge. Talking to a car enthusiast there he pointed out which cars were rubbish, which were good and which were very good. People would be amazed if they knew just what cars are being made in China now, cars like Tesla, and Mercedes for a start. China has captured about 90% of the worlds manufacturing and are on track to do the same with the auto market, their combustion engined cars will make a huge impact on other manufacturers sales but their main focus will be electric cars.
Hello all... I bought one of these only 2 weeks ago....(Ipswich Qld) Driven it approx 500km thus far. I had a Ford Ranger XLT tech pack new from 2016 until 2020.....yes great vehicle (hard to fault) But this base model has more safety & tech in it then the Ranger did & rides better - with similar fuel economy. The Cannon has a small amount of turbo lag in normal mode but pop it into sports mode & it disappears..nothing a inexpensive idrive throttle controller wouldn’t fix. For under half the price of a equivalent (or even lower) specked 4x4 its worth a serious look & drive people. It’s surprised me enough to buy on after a test drive. Let’s face it more than half the high specked 4x4 never leave the bitumen.. More safety tech in this then I’ve ever seen & well worth a serious look at
Put in sport and you find that under power feeling with general stop and go driving plus just give it a little push dont put your foot down and it will surprize you
Great review, Matt. I test drove a Cannon L and was surprised how good it was, that ZF 8 speed really helps mask the small engine keeping it in the power band. Agree with the turbo lag comments but in the GWM Facebook group they say putting it in sport mode gets rid of the lag. After driving the Cannon I got into a new Triton and it felt like stepping back in time 15 years and was soooooo much smaller inside. I think it also beats the LDV T60 by miles. Would I buy one? I'd wait a year or so and follow the FB groups to see what issues arise. I did that with the T60 and I'm glad I did because they have rust and over heating issues etc.
@@james6969 I also sat in the Cannon X. The interior is much nicer than the L with real leather and a tidier looking centre console. That's the one I'd buy. Just look on carsales for what you can get 2nd hand for 41k and you'll be shocked with covid prices!
to be honest , it looks really cool and the 120kw power 2L turbo engine is good enough , especially the price $37990 , 7 years unlimited km warranty , wow
All the haters out there , Must be great to not buy anything made in China , one question - how do you do it ? Because if it’s not made in China most of the parts came from China
@@exploringsydneyandbeyond9059 Hay Steve , The CCP hate us hate Australia cancelled our Free Trade agreement, actually just decided to not honour it.

They let their own people freeze because they refused to take our coal exports. So your pathetic comment doesn't stand well with most Australian,s who now know how dangerous and hostile the CCP is towards a friendly Country who just wanted to know the Truth and now we know what pigs the CCP are and what lengths they will take to cover their lies.So don't drown in your ignorance mate or are so so stupid that none of this has any concern on you pathetic existence.
@@julesmarwell8023 Well now that I’ve owned it for 1.5yrs and have 57,000kms racked up on the dial with a mixture of 4WDriving Towing ( 1T Trailer and 2.5T Caravan) Freeway driving around Town driving country roads dirt roads graded and ungraded. Smacked a billion potholes even busting two from copper tyres from hitting pot holes on the Buckets Way NSW and my Ute is going really really well. Nothing is coming loose and falling apart interior and extrerior. My drivers seat hasn’t shown wear unlike my Dmax at the same KM interval. The interior plastics have not warped or separated like they did in the Isuzu. Engine and transmission no failures or differences since new. No oil leaks from the engine diffs trans etc. My fuel economy around town is 9.5L to 10.5L per 100kms on the open road drops to about 8L/100kms The vehicle tows well. And handles loads way better then other Utes in the class. The gearbox and computer work well keeping traction all the time in the wet. Cruise control is excellent You need to educate yourself when it comes to GWM and have a look at the company and it’s design tech… I’ve had nothing but reliability with this vehicle. Anyway have fun in your 30k more expensive Utes under teched and not as safe or strong…
I’m still very happy with my Cannon Ute..... I haven’t done a lot of kilometres in it so far, but it’s purring along just beautifully. The DPF burn is something you have to get used to and be aware of. I’ve had to only do one manual DPF burn but if you follow instructions it’s not that daunting & it is all over in approx 20 min... It’s also done 2 automatic DPF burns as well .... but I was driving at the time and there is no change to the vehicle. I have added some accessories that I got direct from China that works out so much cheaper... 1 - I-9 throttle controller for $55 delivered I didn’t want to spend $200 on one locally if it didn’t help & yes it definitely improves the throttle response immensely. I had to wind it back as I was getting too much wheelspin . There still is some marginal turbo lag with it but you have to live with that. 2 - Mud-flaps x 4 $48 delivered.....big saving 3 - Aluminium roller Tonneau cover/manual.... just finished installing it & it has came up a treat works perfectly.. When you lock it with the key it also locks the rear tailgate (bonus) cost all up $830 delivered to my door under half price of some locally. Installation is very straight forward you just need a second person for the lifting into the back of the Ute part... wait time by Sea-freight was only 5 five weeks.....very impressed with it. 4 - Full darkest legal window tint all round (medium grade) it only cost $350. Next I plan to add to my vehicle (white) is some black aftermarket signage/striping decals to break it up a bit.... they are also very in expensive from overseas.

Funny how some people will still take the time to watch a review of a Chinese-made car only to comment that it's garbage. Very strange. Why waste your time in the first place over garbage?
First look on the street think it’s GM ute, as it’s big and the front looks great, I will buy it if I need one, why not? They all came with warranty etc, just drive it
I'm waiting for our 1000km service and hopefully our dealer will have those accessories in. I have ordered them through the dealer. That's the only place to get them ATM.
Im still very scared about what's gonna give at the price.....will the engine, transmission, suspension be working in 10 years time? Thats why im still considering the hilux although expensive without all these gizmos and technology
The involvement from the Chinese is only in brand, corporate and management of the brand. The manufacturing systems and technologies, tooling and advisory are all international mainly German, American etc. This goes with all manufacturers. The brands main input is approving of design which is mainly European or outsiders which may not have that chance working for a company at home.
I am currently in the market looking for a ute. Toyota hilux sr5 was always on top of my list until I saw Canon X. Frankly speaking $65k for sr5 is a bit over priced. $25k difference is quite a lot.
Honest straight up review. I've ordered a black Cannon X should be here early August. I did a fair bit of research first then drove one & couldn't really fault it. The bits that you noticed you'd very quickly happily live with. The Chinese are pretty clever rather than pay for development GWM went shopping. The common rail fuel system is from Delphi. IHI turbo. ZF transmission and the drive line & diff lock are from Borg Warner. Hard to knock any of that. Of course a few die hard bogans will laugh no matter what. China is coming of age, remember Hyundai & Kia's were absolute shite when they first hit the market now they're leading the way in a lot of respects. Pros and cons, yes the other utes have their attractions but not everyone can afford a Ranger.
I notice a lot of Toyota bakkie owners is moving over to this GWM bakkie because of the price, tech and flexibility it gives. Also the safety factor and ease of mind with warranty and service that is unlimited miles......this is a winner for me.
I'm very tempted to buy BUT I hate noisy diesel so I will need to sound it out hoping to be quiet or at least well soundproofed which has not been covered in the review.
@@yangtaotai well cobber we still buy Mitsubishis s down ear I personally am not a huge fan, and they seem to offer some pretty robust products from all reports compared to some other certain brands .
I will choose it they just opened shop in Uganda and am in the market for one. though they are about to launch the next generation P300 I may not wait for Q1 2025...I wish I could get the 2025 sooner your review has been very objective and practical.
I brought a steed in 2012 and every time it went in for an MOT the tester remarked how rust free the chassis was compared to Nissan's and fords that where newer than mine . Sold it 3 years ago but the person who brought it still has a rust free chassis . Rest of it in terms of quality wasn't that good but served a purpose . Wouldn't buy another though as it wasn't as nice to drive as my 1996 Hilux I had stolen .
Might be worth checking Australian and German websites for another Toyp model ute and asking why in a country not selling the GWM Ute is the price the same number in Euros as it is in Australian dollars. Even if you hate the GWM thank them for the almost 30% discount on your new Toy.
From a friends experience with a Cannon L drop in a throttle controller, less turbo lag and quick off the mark, a decent set of after market shosk absorbers and quality AT tyres, (yep Korean Kumho Dynapro's, great wearing tough tyre) and its a whole new deal all for under $38K on the price he got! 75K for a Hilux with 2.8 and Cat problems doesn't look like a great deal to me, just a big profit for Toyota.
I went and drove the Mercedes and the Hilux also Triton and d max and the crapy ford lol the price was not a problem to me at all . and guess WHAT I GOT a GWM cannon X its way better then all of them bigger smarter drives like a car and the inside is great so I'm glad I got it ! there is a chip on the market for it to give it more power and it really works .
Hot tips: All mainstream automotive leather is 'fake'. 'Standard Aussie pallet' means a Chep pallet (1165mm as referred to), and any other pallet, such as those smaller ones used for tiles will fit fine. No mention of ISOFIX points, of which there are "Children Seats ISOFIX Device + 2 Rear Anchor Points" according to the specifications. Towing capacity at 3000kg and towball download limit of 300kg, without knowing a stated GVM, is absurd. Towball download is part of GVM and therefore payload. Tradies are gonna put stuff in the tray and trailer. Don't tow 3t with this ute; no more than 2.5.
BPR in other markets (asian markets I believe) it's called a 'Poer'. The badges on the grille and wheel centres are actually a 'P' for Poer. The tailgate and steering wheel badges are the standard Great Wall ones.
I hate it when they say there are cgeap elements in this car that reminds you that you are buying a budget Ute, have they seen lower end Toyota and ford model's?
I ordered 10 but cancelled before they hit the port due to inferior quality...they are sitting on the boat waiting for someone else to buy but will probs rust 1st...
Getting back to the service times, I've bought a few new cars in my time, (I'm OLD) and ALL of them including last years ASX had to get the first service between 1000 and 1500k's, that includes Nissans, Toyota's, Mitsu's etc
Haven't had a chance to tow with the Cannon yet, sadly. But the dealer network is pretty light at the moment, so maybe take that into consideration. All models do come with five years' roadside assist, but read the fine print if you're heading away from civilisation!
Just bought the Cannon L in silver and love it. Really comfortable on long drives. Driven about 4 hours straight and did not feel any aching whatsoever. Almost up to my first service now. Was also told that It comes with Capped servicing.

Would be very interesting to see how it does over the course of a few years (especially its drive train towards the end of its 7-year warranty).
Have been looking for a ute for a while and have driven all the major brands. Need 1000kg+ payload so that FBT doesn't come into play so that scrubs most of the mid to higher spec utes except for Mazda/Isuzu and Ssangyong XLV. Triton GLS 920kg and Ranger 3.2 XLT Auto 940kg are out of the mix as are the higher spec models. So I drove Cannon-L and Cannon-X. The Cannon doesnt have quite as much 'go' as Triton and Ranger but runs an 8 Speed BorgWarner transmission that works just fine. With 1050kg payload, constant 4wd, rear diff lock and tech that's way above anything else in the market the big question is 'risk' on the new model. Well it comes with 7year warranty and 5yr roadside assist so I've bitten the bullet and ordered an 'X'. Simply can't argue with the value proposition and ROI for a working vehicle that should play well too. Everyone say's "but what about the resale?". Well when a comparable (almost) spec Ranger costs mid-high $60s, the $20K saved and invested more than offsets the resale difference and contributes a big chunk to a trade to the the update model in a few years time. I see the GWM Cannon being to GWM what the iLoad has been to Hyundai, and I think it'll set the cat amongst the pigeons.
Plenty of happy new owners on the Facebook owners group, no bad issues unlike the Ldv T60. Really nice in the flesh and surprisingly good fit and finish
For those tradies who are boycotting Chinese ute, please avoid anything Chinese made stuffs in bunnings next time.
That’s impossible but bycotting Chinese Utes is doable 😂
Nah mate educate yourself buying made in china made by international company with thier quality control vs owned Chinese owned / communist government owned.
Hope your peanut brain can comprehend the difference.

@@timyang8328 yeah since China is aging society in 5 yrs it will become a dying society bc of the one child policy and low fertility rate. I imagine things will be made more from India and vietnam 😅
Just bought my cannon L and absolutely love it. Great Ute and awesome features. I highly recommend it. 👍🏼
I was set on a Ranger until I saw how much prices have jumped since Covid. Then I swayed towards a Triton since it is better bang-for-buck. Then I saw this video. Now I might have some more thinking to do. Although I'm unsure on the bigger size and smaller engine compared to the Triton, there is still a hell of a lot of car for the money. Maybe measuring up garage entrance will be the determining factor. And whether or not the genuine accessories such as canopy will work.
Go for it Gavin.. I test drove it its brilliant ..still working hard so I can afford to buy it. It drives like a dream ..its so powerful and luxurious...and the safety specs are more than what you get in a hilux and a ranger. Infact technology overall. Join the GWM P series group on Facebook to see how its storming the Market in South Africa in just 3 months
I bought the Navara last month mate new 2021 models can carry a ton as well as 3.5ton tow for FBT etc. Not as much tech on lower models but a brand that you know
It's junk l test drove one but ended up buying a v6 amarock it's much better in every way 😄
And I ended up buying a Triton. Hehe
I’m happy with the 2020 steed I bought. It serves my purpose. Iv received positive comments from people passing by. Iv also
This car is excellent value for money. Its beautiful,nice and cheap
They know how to build cars, they build 6 or 7 million a year so that's not the issue, probably dealer support would be my main concern in this country, but it's almost half. The price of a comparative top spec Hilux, that's incredible
Saw one on the road this week!! Wow looked fantastic. I'm sure they will sell really well.
Until people realise that parts will take months to source and no one garage wants to work on them.
@@CalmFarm516 my workmate use steed for 4 years and he said no major issue only cost him $20 000 brand new.
Zero resale
Meh so far, doing pretty well. Especially back home in the country that I'm from (Zimbabwe, Africa) they're selling like hotcakes. Over there, a luxury car that's for the average person would be like a navara. So this thing with it's luxury as well as cheap asking price... Couldn't ask for more.

I was in China just before the pandemic and their car industry is huge. Talking to a car enthusiast there he pointed out which cars were rubbish, which were good and which were very good. People would be amazed if they knew just what cars are being made in China now, cars like Tesla, and Mercedes for a start. China has captured about 90% of the worlds manufacturing and are on track to do the same with the auto market, their combustion engined cars will make a huge impact on other manufacturers sales but their main focus will be electric cars.
So what did he say about GWM?

Hello all...
I bought one of these only 2 weeks ago....(Ipswich Qld)
Driven it approx 500km thus far.
I had a Ford Ranger XLT tech pack new from 2016 until 2020.....yes great vehicle (hard to fault)
But this base model has more safety & tech in it then the Ranger did & rides better - with similar fuel economy.
The Cannon has a small amount of turbo lag in normal mode but pop it into sports mode & it disappears..nothing a inexpensive idrive throttle controller wouldn’t fix.
For under half the price of a equivalent (or even lower) specked 4x4 its worth a serious look & drive people.
It’s surprised me enough to buy on after a test drive.
Let’s face it more than half the high specked 4x4 never leave the bitumen..
More safety tech in this then I’ve ever seen & well worth a serious look at
Put in sport and you find that under power feeling with general stop and go driving plus just give it a little push dont put your foot down and it will surprize you
I'd have to wait for the long term reviews on quality
"I like the shape of the steering wheel"
Hmmmm its round???
Yeah, it's round - I meant to say 'form' rather than shape. :D

@@carsguide Cheers Matt. Just having a dig. The review was informative.

Great review, Matt. I test drove a Cannon L and was surprised how good it was, that ZF 8 speed really helps mask the small engine keeping it in the power band. Agree with the turbo lag comments but in the GWM Facebook group they say putting it in sport mode gets rid of the lag. After driving the Cannon I got into a new Triton and it felt like stepping back in time 15 years and was soooooo much smaller inside. I think it also beats the LDV T60 by miles. Would I buy one? I'd wait a year or so and follow the FB groups to see what issues arise. I did that with the T60 and I'm glad I did because they have rust and over heating issues etc.
At least you test drived it instead of ugg made in china i will never buy it
@@james6969 I also sat in the Cannon X. The interior is much nicer than the L with real leather and a tidier looking centre console. That's the one I'd buy. Just look on carsales for what you can get 2nd hand for 41k and you'll be shocked with covid prices!
@@LoftyVisions that is very cheap for a ute and tell me how much does it cost for covid prices

@@exploringsydneyandbeyond9059 Hay Steve , The CCP hate us hate Australia cancelled our Free Trade agreement, actually just decided to not honour it.

They let their own people freeze because they refused to take our coal exports. So your pathetic comment doesn't stand well with most Australian,s who now know how dangerous and hostile the CCP is towards a friendly Country who just wanted to know the Truth and now we know what pigs the CCP are and what lengths they will take to cover their lies.So don't drown in your ignorance mate or are so so stupid that none of this has any concern on you pathetic existence.

@@julesmarwell8023 Well now that I’ve owned it for 1.5yrs and have 57,000kms racked up on the dial with a mixture of 4WDriving Towing ( 1T Trailer and 2.5T Caravan) Freeway driving around Town driving country roads dirt roads graded and ungraded. Smacked a billion potholes even busting two from copper tyres from hitting pot holes on the Buckets Way NSW and my Ute is going really really well. Nothing is coming loose and falling apart interior and extrerior. My drivers seat hasn’t shown wear unlike my Dmax at the same KM interval. The interior plastics have not warped or separated like they did in the Isuzu.
Engine and transmission no failures or differences since new.
No oil leaks from the engine diffs trans etc.
My fuel economy around town is 9.5L to 10.5L per 100kms on the open road drops to about 8L/100kms
The vehicle tows well. And handles loads way better then other Utes in the class.
The gearbox and computer work well keeping traction all the time in the wet.
Cruise control is excellent
You need to educate yourself when it comes to GWM and have a look at the company and it’s design tech…
I’ve had nothing but reliability with this vehicle.
Anyway have fun in your 30k more expensive Utes under teched and not as safe or strong…
Bought one last week and it’s great
How’s the fuel consumption!
@@Ilikepie18855 around town 10L /100km
Same here around town 10L......haven’t been on any decent long highway trips yet to get a cruising figure
How’s the fuel consumption? South African side only had info for the passenger version 4x4 auto at 9.4L/100km.... what about the 4x2? Manual etc?
I’m still very happy with my Cannon Ute..... I haven’t done a lot of kilometres in it so far, but it’s purring along just beautifully.
The DPF burn is something you have to get used to and be aware of.
I’ve had to only do one manual DPF burn but if you follow instructions it’s not that daunting & it is all over in approx 20 min...
It’s also done 2 automatic DPF burns as well .... but I was driving at the time and there is no change to the vehicle.
I have added some accessories that I got direct from China that works out so much cheaper...
1 - I-9 throttle controller for $55 delivered I didn’t want to spend $200 on one locally if it didn’t help & yes it definitely improves the throttle response immensely.
I had to wind it back as I was getting too much wheelspin .
There still is some marginal turbo lag with it but you have to live with that.
2 - Mud-flaps x 4 $48 delivered.....big saving
3 - Aluminium roller Tonneau cover/manual.... just finished installing it & it has came up a treat works perfectly..
When you lock it with the key it also locks the rear tailgate (bonus) cost all up $830 delivered to my door under half price of some locally.
Installation is very straight forward you just need a second person for the lifting into the back of the Ute part... wait time by Sea-freight was only 5 five weeks.....very impressed with it.
4 - Full darkest legal window tint all round (medium grade) it only cost $350.
Next I plan to add to my vehicle (white) is some black aftermarket signage/striping decals to break it up a bit.... they are also very in expensive from overseas.

The drive train is proven in other vehicles.
The involvement from the Chinese is only in brand, corporate and management of the brand. The manufacturing systems and technologies, tooling and advisory are all international mainly German, American etc. This goes with all manufacturers. The brands main input is approving of design which is mainly European or outsiders which may not have that chance working for a company at home.
Looking at buying one but I would like to know how well it tows. Is a review on towing as yet?
i towed a car around 2tonne from melbourne to adelaide and back and it with out any problems at all towed great sat on 100ks on the steep hills
We are off to check the Cannon X out tomorrow, fingers crossed that we love it. I'll let you know.
I am currently in the market looking for a ute. Toyota hilux sr5 was always on top of my list until I saw Canon X. Frankly speaking $65k for sr5 is a bit over priced. $25k difference is quite a lot.
You will see the value in the hilux when you come to sell it.
@@roberthopes7298 that's only coz you paid too much too begin with.
Just bought my cannon x in blue. Absolutely love it, as great as expected. Best value for my money.
Honest straight up review. I've ordered a black Cannon X should be here early August. I did a fair bit of research first then drove one & couldn't really fault it. The bits that you noticed you'd very quickly happily live with. The Chinese are pretty clever rather than pay for development GWM went shopping. The common rail fuel system is from Delphi. IHI turbo. ZF transmission and the drive line & diff lock are from Borg Warner. Hard to knock any of that. Of course a few die hard bogans will laugh no matter what. China is coming of age, remember Hyundai & Kia's were absolute shite when they first hit the market now they're leading the way in a lot of respects. Pros and cons, yes the other utes have their attractions but not everyone can afford a Ranger.
I notice a lot of Toyota bakkie owners is moving over to this GWM bakkie because of the price, tech and flexibility it gives. Also the safety factor and ease of mind with warranty and service that is unlimited miles......this is a winner for me.
He provided many good recommendations!
I'm very tempted to buy BUT I hate noisy diesel so I will need to sound it out hoping to be quiet or at least well soundproofed which has not been covered in the review.

Very nice looking ute.You can notice their presence on the road,their huge!
Kinda similar front grill as the U.S bilt Toyota Tundra and Tacoma.
I brought a steed in 2012 and every time it went in for an MOT the tester remarked how rust free the chassis was compared to Nissan's and fords that where newer than mine . Sold it 3 years ago but the person who brought it still has a rust free chassis . Rest of it in terms of quality wasn't that good but served a purpose . Wouldn't buy another though as it wasn't as nice to drive as my 1996 Hilux I had stolen .
Might be worth checking Australian and German websites for another Toyp model ute and asking why in a country not selling the GWM Ute is the price the same number in Euros as it is in Australian dollars. Even if you hate the GWM thank them for the almost 30% discount on your new Toy.
I'm wondering if they will be fitting Hard lids for the tub soon? I haven't seen any offered as extras yet?

Hey mate I have bought one of these in btisbane. There is 5 year capped serving in qld.
Any feedback on the servicing costs on these?

Saw one yesterday. Definitely a head turner
Also a panty dropper
From a friends experience with a Cannon L drop in a throttle controller, less turbo lag and quick off the mark, a decent set of after market shosk absorbers and quality AT tyres, (yep Korean Kumho Dynapro's, great wearing tough tyre) and its a whole new deal all for under $38K on the price he got!
75K for a Hilux with 2.8 and Cat problems doesn't look like a great deal to me, just a big profit for Toyota.
I went and drove the Mercedes and the Hilux also Triton and d max and the crapy ford lol the price was not a problem to me at all . and guess WHAT I GOT a GWM cannon X its way better then all of them bigger smarter drives like a car and the inside is great so I'm glad I got it ! there is a chip on the market for it to give it more power and it really works .
It's gutless rubbish 😁
Hot tips:
All mainstream automotive leather is 'fake'.
'Standard Aussie pallet' means a Chep pallet (1165mm as referred to), and any other pallet, such as those smaller ones used for tiles will fit fine.
No mention of ISOFIX points, of which there are "Children Seats ISOFIX Device + 2 Rear Anchor Points" according to the specifications.
Towing capacity at 3000kg and towball download limit of 300kg, without knowing a stated GVM, is absurd. Towball download is part of GVM and therefore payload. Tradies are gonna put stuff in the tray and trailer. Don't tow 3t with this ute; no more than 2.5.
Why is there a different batch at the front and another different batch on the steering wheel and The back
BPR in other markets (asian markets I believe) it's called a 'Poer'. The badges on the grille and wheel centres are actually a 'P' for Poer. The tailgate and steering wheel badges are the standard Great Wall ones.

I'm planning on travelling oz with a 3 tonne caravan how will it go.??? Also how available are parts if something breaks. ???
Haven't had a chance to tow with the Cannon yet, sadly. But the dealer network is pretty light at the moment, so maybe take that into consideration. All models do come with five years' roadside assist, but read the fine print if you're heading away from civilisation!
No way Known you would tow a 3 tonne caravan with it....
2 - 2.5 tonne maybe....
It will break 😄

Because I've driven both the old Great Wall Steed and the existing V240 utes, and it is MASSIVELY IMPROVED.
