  • The 4-range Cannon line-up is reasonably well priced considering the gear they’ve managed to shoehorn in.
    Full Review and Brochure HERE: Is GWM Cannon Pickup a Good Value Good Drive REVIEW
    The base model is 2WD, and all the rest had AWD of 4-low range and a bunch of off-roading accoutrements.
    The outside is better than expected, and the quality appears to be at least as good as its opposition
    Inside:
    Only the Vanta has luscious leather, and an inny-outie steering wheel. Not being able to adjust for reach is a pain, and makes the driving position less comfy than it should be.
    Everything is plastic, and the metalised surround on the climate and off-road controls is a pet hate of mine. It always looks nasty, and eventually peels. It is a mere trifle in a cabin that genuinely feels posh. The bottom 3 models have plastic everywhere, including the seats. While the top 2 models have seat heating and auto climate control, all Cannons have rear vents.
    The rear seat also has a nifty household socket, as well as a USB outlet. The biggest ticket item back there is bags of space. Even the tallest apprentice can stow knees without giving the boss a bump in the back.
    The sound system is acceptable, with a 9” screen and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto by USB. Vanta gets extra speakers.
    The infotainment menu has a bunch of levels with nothing further than a couple of clicks away. It is a nicely laid out system, and as usual, includes the safety and driver aid settings. They can be fettled as the driver wishes, or turned off completely.
    Only Vanta gets a Qi charger too, sadly absent from our L.

    Great value for those that have a realistic understanding of the value of money. This ute appears to have everything those that want/need a 4WD ute to provide. I’m not into big lumpy utes, but for sure this thing beats the pants off many that cost so much more and actually appears, from your review, to be a ute worth buying with a great 7 year warranty. Thanks for the review.

      Incredible value for someone not persuaded by brand reputation or worried what their mates think. Good for a farm runabout too. Another 20-30kw would make it very hard to walk past.

    Thanks Alan!!
    You know the vehicle’s features well - great! I bought an X a month ago. Delighted with the Cannon Ute by GWM. Really, I can’t fault much. Perhaps, the GWM could have installed an internal roof light for rear seat passengers, and an option of a sunroof (for Aus) but other than those items, the vehicle is superb ! Seven year warranty and fixed price servicing (same as my new KIA Sportage 2nd car) are an attractive feature too.

      the warranty signifies confidence in the product i think. on the sunroof, i personally dislike them, but as an option, it a great idea for those who want them. I must take note on how many cars have rear roof lights. there wouldn't b that many surely.
      the Kia is a great car too

    GWM is now arriving in Brazil, I'm buying a hybrid Haval H6. What is the rating of GWM ?

    With the lane keeping, just enable lane centring and the issue of pulling you left and right goes away, it's really effective and relaxing to drive this way., Thank me later.

      people seem to confuse terms thanks to the different names car-makers give those features. What you refer to as lane keep in this case is lane departure assist. The Lane centering feature was on, and only seemed to work with active cruise control as in many other brands

    Think you may find you were driving a Cannon X.

      i asked twice, because I thought that's what it looked like to me too. I wondered if it was a special edition of some kind. It was very strange indeed
