Got the Cannon X and drive a lot of different Utes at work, nothing better then coming home and driving mine, it blows all the others away considering the price I paid for it. Really impressed with its luxury and solid drive.
But it's underpowered says the owner of a non-GWM ute. Why do non-owners know more than GWM owners? Never ceases to amaze. Enjoy many years of GWM motoring.
@peter6516
Yea probably not for those towing heavy weight, I just use it as an everyday car that offers all the luxury of vehicles that cost double the price.
There is also the annoying manual DPF process you have to do occasionally if you don't drive it long distances:)
These are coming along massively year on year which is great. I would happily pay an extra 10k for one of these with a bigger motor. Big players are just taking the piss these days
Ordered a ranger wild track, cancelled it , couldn’t give a delivery time or assurance on issue mitigations and frankly it was one of your reviews that convinced me to cancel.
Good choice! That ranger wild track is unreliable scrap anyways
About fifteen years ago, when global tensions were low, we Tourist Mebournians climbed the Great Wall of China. In 2023 it's good to see the GWM doing well in Australia. Keep them coming.
Cringe comment
This goes to show that mainstream ute brands are overpriced by at least $10-20k.
I’m more then happy to pay $10-20k more for something Japanese designed, plenty of these shit Chinese made utes have warranty problems
you obviously havent factored in reliability and ease of spare parts availability,also resale value..id go for mainstream brand in a heartbeat
Spot on .
All those who are happy to pay $20k more for Japanese trucks forgot what got the Japanese cars to its place a few decades ago. They used the same strategy, low price well equipped, and they got the tag for being "Made in Japan" just like how people look down on "Made in China" too. Let's see
@@shawsie5780you don’t think Japanese brands don’t have warranty problems? I’ve seen countless posts of ford,Toyota,Nissan all not covering warranty for faults of there own.
Hope you review the GWM tank soon
The problem is that people think all this at $52,990 is a cheap Ute.
We’ve been conditioned to think that with how much the manufacturers are now ripping us off for new vehicles.
Just think $52,990 less than 5 years ago was an SR5 and a new base Triton could be found for $30k and even less for ABN buyers.
Yes labour costs a bit more and the chip shortage has given manufacturers the excuse of being absolutely ridiculous with new vehicle prices. Don’t forget most of these vehicles come out of Thailand where labour is still cheap.
Once the full effect of recession takes place and dealers have stock sitting around and have to actually go back to selling instead of being order takers we should start to see the prices start to settle down.
So yeah it’s priced well in the current market but it still isn’t really that cheap, just cheaper than the competition.
"Just cheaper than the competition".. .yeah literally the definition of cheap 🤣🤣
Well, the Liberal party destroyed the Australian car market with their only millionaires matter mindset. Ever since the majority have been paying at least 30% than ever for ordinary vehicles.
So to those that voted for a party that has done nothing for the majority of Australians, thanks.
You are my new fav car reviewer. Kudos to your work!
mate, if they sold this car with a v6 turbo option (3.2L or so equivalent) people would be ordering it like crazy, if it could also tow 3.5T there would be queues around the block and then some.
Someone needs to do a cheap ute showdown comparison between the SsangYong, GWM and LDV please!
Always love your content guys, the dynamic duo!!
Great video! Great Car. My dad is wanting to get this UTE as his first Ute 😊
Tell him to get a decent 4x4 not this Chinese toy
@@user-fd7pi6vv7b Don't feed your dad this bigoted idiocy wasting his money for no good reason.
@@user-fd7pi6vv7b Spoken by someone who has never driven one and probably never even looked at it up close.
Greaat riview guy. Excellent. Answered all my imagination questions
Finally, nothing on these until now cheers🤙
Can you gents do a review on the tank 300?
The wildtrak X comes standard with led taillights (kinda sucks how the wildtrak doesn’t, otherwise you gotta wait longer for the car)
Best review 🎉
Best motoring reviews in YT
they should jam a battery under that tray and add one of their 110kw hybrid motors they use in, that way it would be class leading in power and economy
Waiting on the GWM Tank 300 Petrol review! Give the people (me) what they want.
How would you compare this to the t60 ? Qpuld love to hear what you think 🤔
Great truck. wow.
Lmao i love your presentation. Its so fun 😂
When are you going to do the Citroen C4? Would love to know your thoughts
Nice truck ❤
The same version in China even gets a stock winch in the front. I wonder why it got deleted and left a blank button in the center console... Such a shame.
Hmm interesting!
Its in south african version to
When have us aussies got a better vehicle than variants overseas? Our variants are always weaker, and less featured
Didn't meet adr requirements
Where can i found the same model of Grill (calandre)
Thx à lot
Great STEP ONE product placement when you go up the rear step LOL
GWM needs to change the front grill design and the water drop badge to something better then this ute will look much more appealing.
Each to it's own. Design is spot on
I love that
Nice job cannon :)
Hoq do you compre this to the ldv 2023 ?
Awww I want one ❤
I'm in the market for buying a dual cab ute and would buy one of these IF it had a V6 3.0 litre engine. The 2.0 litre is just not big enough. Especially for towing a van which I want to do. The engine size is the only thing stopping me from buying one...😢
The new ford rangers come in 2L aswell and they are able to tow very well
@@malikchaddoud1199 I would only get the new V6... The kW and Torque are too low with the 2.0L
Why? Tow all the time in mine. Have for 3 years. People don't understand how power ratings are different then 20 years ago
@@charlessas4138
You're better off waiting for the bigger Shanhai Cannon as it comes with either a 2.4 turbo diesel or 3.3 turbo petrol V6 😊
3.3 v6 sounds awsome 😀👍. How did you get that info...? I spoke with gwm dealer and they don't know what power train we are getting and when. But if you are correct, that really appeals to me😎😁
a Chinese Ranger Raptor or Hilux rogue and theres no waiting 12 months or dealing with scalpers
Wait til 2024 there will be a new GWM
Just waiting patiently for that V6 Cannon Alpha.
News?
@@BanielDrownIt's coming mid-2024.
What about the t60 ?
This test was all on bitumen, but what is it like in the rough stuff?
Rattles and falls apart like everything the Chinese make..
I would like to see a review on SsangYong , rexton or musso, not sure if you have done one
Coming very soon!
Yes rexton review please
@@CarSauceSsangyong are getting so expensive in the uk at £46,250 for the ultimate plus then £690 for metallic paint 😳
Also stay away from the chrome wheels as loads of ones are trying to get them replaced under warranty but most are being refused
Buy One. Got my elx xlv in dec 22. With the Sport Rexton mtr. I Love it... I'm a farmer in SA. I only use it to go to town. Avg 7.9 lt p/100km. Unladen 1/2 the time...
The automatic is brilliant. Driven in manual mode from yard. Only addition will be airbags on rear leaf. Airbag Man are developing some for me now. I can't fault it. For $41,200, w marble paint, tint all round, ppf, mags, interior protect.. Ask Auburn at Werribee Ssangyong. The port troubles started after mine arrived. The toggle to change gears is easy. Might look fiddly, but it's not. Not like the Ranger. & 40k left over for other needs in life ... Cheers John from SA.
C'mon guys!! How about a review of the Ssangyong Musso in ultimate guise? Far cheaper than this GWM and more features. Thanks.
Had the Musso ultimate xlv for almost a year, cannot fault it ,a great car for 47k...
Give it a V6 engine and I'll trade in my 2016 Amarok
The 2.0 diesel engine in it,isn’t competitive
Why? Have you tried one ? Almost every ute now comes in a 2l. It's not like the old days where you're thinking a 4 or 5 speed with 2l. It's 8 speed
@@Monkeybrains90 Why? Because I want one. Have you tried one? If you hv read my comment, you'd know I have an Amarok 2.0 litre pair with a 8 speed transmission and would like a V6. Secondly, even the content creator deemed it under powered.
@@nickl1177 😂
My Cannon. Build in 2021, 49k km. Transmission acts funny, rear diff iss loud rust every where even if it's prepared and washed after !1! Trip to Fraser where the towbar fell of with my caravan. Radar fault almost permanently. Almost all
Dealer and "service" are hopeless.
Emails that are not comfortable never been answered. Dealer gives a sh... Service tells you we are not technically minded and tells you talk to your dealer even if they don't want to help you... 7years warranty? On the middle seatbelt in the rear but not on anything that can fail..cheap and not a bad car as long as it works. But....
the3 pin socket in the rear is real handy always charging shit in my ranger px3
Got mine 3 weeks ago. It’s slow! but no slower than a 5 year old used hilux with 100000kms the you pay the same money for
There's the difference thought, the hilux is barely broken in after 5 years. Doubt these will turn 5 years old without a myriad of issues.
@@SeasonAscent suppose time will tell
Keep telling yourself that mate, have fun with that resale value
@@user-fd7pi6vv7b yea have fun loosing 30 grand and emptying youre life savings for a car that does the same thing.
I hate the snorkel😂
Is there big difference between XSR and the vanta
Massive for offroading
Yes. Vanta is only a Black styled version of the X. This one has a whole different drivetrain
No difference both sheit
do you still get the Chinese wording when using the camera? I've heard they were going to be gone by a software update
Nope
Interesting how GWM has a different name for their pickup in different markets 😂
Only cause poer is a Chinese name. Just like all other manufacturers have different names.
It's called a GWM P-Series LTD here in South Africa. "Poer" is a slightly derogatory local term.
Subaru Liberty/Legacy. Honda/Acura. Holden Commodore/Chevrolet SS. Triton/L200.
The video was blurry. Aside from that it was great. If it had a bit more power and torque it would be a game changer at that price point.
The only thing that lets this car down is the underpowered engine. If they had similar hp and torque numbers to their competitors while still keeping the great price. They wouldn't be able to make them quick enough
Don't know what it's like with a load on. Don't know what it's like towing. Don't know what it's like off road. This test tells us what it's like if you want a big family car with a big open boot and enough power to move around OK unloaded. So what do I think of it? Probably OK but this test doesn't help me much towards that conclusion.
To win the market place, it needs at less a 3lt four pot motor or with a 6cly ....then it would be the new kid on the block//
Bro why don't you make compare 3 pickup truck compare and 3 suv pickup compare
I would be keen on these utes if they just got a better engine
I have one for last 4 years now. They rnt the best of the mark but sports mode n I smashed a triton and a navara other day easily. So it's the driver to. They pick up speed faster then u think. But gwm shanhai v6 petrol is what I waiting for
It has a fantastic engine mate
@@chriswording8638what do you consider a crap engine then lol it’s a gutless chinese 2 litre
perhaps wait for the next gen Shanhai Cannon, it is 3.0T diesel. Size of a RAM
Looks like a hilux grill, wildtrak rims, ranger platinum seats
Until they replace the 2L engine with a large capacity donk it's a no go. Thanks for the content. Cheers
But why ? 8 speed makes up for it. Been all over aus in mine and never once questioned the 2l capacity
@@Monkeybrains90 An 8 speed gearbox does not make up for a highly strung small bore 4 cylinder engine. You're obviously content with the engine which is great for your use case but it will not suit many people including myself. Cheers
@@cyclemoto8744 you are clearly stuck 30 years in the past and not understanding how modern engine work. Why do you think it needs a big engine ? New ranger, new dmax, next Navara, all with 2l engines too. Done every 4wd track all over aus with mine and not once has I thought, oh I need a bigger engine.
@@Monkeybrains90 You evidently have difficulty when it comes to civil discussions. Your needs are not necessarily the needs of others. This has nothing to do with 3 decades ago for my use case, it may have for yours. For your reference, the Dmax's capacity is 30% larger, you'll struggle to find a good review of a 2L Ranger for towing purposes as is the case with the 2.3L Navarra. Cheers
@@cyclemoto8744 The thing that gets me is when I ask anyone why do they need more power no one can actually answer it. Ive towed with mine for 3 years now, I tow 2.85t almost daily with it, so the argument about it needs power for towing is null.
This bakkie here in South Africa with cost r654.580.00rand without important duties with is an extra r250.000 on top the r654.580...eesh...and parts for GWM bakkie are very expensive here in South Africa...all has to be important in...eg...diesel water separator unit screws into diesel fuel filter plastic sensor sender unit r850rand with out value added tax.VAT....but first the agency must analysis the problem first ..plug in the laptop into your GWM...r 500...to confirm diesels water sensor is faulty...then sell you the tiny part size of a match box...r850 plus vat .15%..I have a GWM 4x4.....I have been careful with it...when I drive... definitely not rough...as parts are extremely expensive here... especially via the agent...and so many electronic sensors all over the place...gives you a head ache
53 k surely isnt cheap is it?
Likely not available in America
Yeah cause you buy a dual cab Ute for 0-100 times…..😅
Important for overtaking times… this is not great for that, vs the Ford Ranger as an example
Exactly, when towing a trailer and overtaking it's important
Right. So when towing a trailer, particularly a loaded one, you actually consider it’s reasonable to overtake at 100 km/h? V6 ranger, Land Cruiser, patrol it doesn’t matter. you need to learn a few lessons about towing! 0-100 times for these vehicles are a pissing contest. 76 series v8 won’t get to 100 in under 14 seconds without some serious mods! If the vehicle in front of you is doing 70 km/h it will be fine. Use what you have within its limits is the rule. 100 to 0 braking is far more relevant!
It gives a good indicator of engine performance and allows for some comparison with other vehicles in the same segment.
@@whomcares3438 nah fam don't bring that 76 and 79 series shit here. Those are heaps of shit. A 4.5L Turbo diesel that takes years to get to 100😂
I’ll stick with my 2003 n60 hilux thanks.
Gwm shanhai v6 petrol come at me
Yeah, I'll stick to my next gen Ranger Raptor. cheers
you should mate, good luck with the recalls and issues. BTW, it ain't next gen if it is sold now, is it?
@@chriswording8638 What drugs are you on buddy? No recall for the Raptors and its the next generation from the old ones so yeah, they are the next gen. Plus I don't want to support communist China that shit on Australia.
Then strip 25% of your ute and run it like Fred Flintstone, i.e. with your feet.
Its only 10k cheaper than a toyota hilux 😮 there really is nothing "cheap" about this ute. I actually would concider it overpriced for what it is. Worth 46k at best
Major upgrades!!!!! but the engine still has the same power…..cosmetic upgrades
Yeah no LOL
They are very mechanical upgrades 🤣
Has front and rear diff locks. That's a major upgrade.
it's basically using the system of tank 300, which is a very capable off-roader
There are more parts to a car than just the engine.
XSR as near none cosmetic upgrades. Everything you’re paying for is functional and structural
The LDV T60 is still better UTE with better towing power and performance
An ldv wouldn’t tow the skin off a custard maybe try a decent tow vehicle
I drive and tow with a LDV i can speak from Experience @@user-fd7pi6vv7b
The seats are called Diamond Tucked not Diamond Quilted that sounds like Toilet paper talk LoL
120kw engine is way underpowered
I mean great value for money! Will it compete with the ranger???? I dare say you’d have to be pretty special to get your head around it’s aesthetics 🤢
TBH, it probably does compete. But even if it falls short (how capable a vehicle is off road, depends on the driver) it's still $30,000 less money....
Because Chinese can't open their eyes fully they can't see the aesthetics.. have to be stupid or insane to purchase a GWM car
Bigger motor and they would slay the market 2ltr is pathetic
the lack of video of this performance off road kind of defeats your claim that this is good for off road meh
Are you guys a couple? (All the fisting jokes)
Those aren’t the colours my man
Wonder why its so cheap? Due to lower overall quality compared to other utes?? Lower overall reliability & durability long term ? And is it built to be a throwaway vehicle after 10 yrs? It might be well equipped but cheap doesn't mean it's fantastic or brilliant . We've just added 6 mahindra Pik Ups to join our LC fleet & the Mahindra's are cheap & absolutely as capable as. Wonder how many Chinese utes here will manage to do 500,000km over their lifespan???
sweet fk all ,agreed
100k km so far in mine over 3 years and no issues
It is a butt ugly front end, and what about the DRS problems!!
It is not tested and proofs to last
Only over 42 years manufacturing over 18 million trucks & cars. There must be really shite if they keep selling more and more all over the world....
You get what you pay for. Better have a mechanic in the family.
Evidence? Not a particular fan of Chinese vehicles, but they've come a long way from the old GWM utes. Assuming it's less reliable than the more expensive brands might be unfair.
3 years and going strong. Been all over aus
i would never buy chinese brands
Still a lot of money for a Chinese car.
Aygh, mate time to pull your head out of the sand.
@@chriswording8638 And under powered…
Would love to know how much they paid you or where they are holding your loved ones for you to make this review 😂😂
🤢🤢🤮🤮
Gwm must pay well.
Jesus Christ.
Who let you in front of the camera?
I feel like I have just been to the Mardi Gras.
wait until it rusts and repair bills will kill you !!!
Nope, in the bin. Please don’t waste your money.
Interior destroys all other utes
in the mean time, Toyota continues to give you the pastic interiors with the design and material of the 80s.
Laughs in ford ranger
Way better than mahincrap from endia 😂

Under powerd sadly
