2024 Toyota HiLux v GWM Cannon Alpha | Japanese brand’s updated top-seller tackles new Chinese rival

[@LoveEVandenvironment]

GMW Tank500 has just won one of the highest 5 star safety rating in ANCAP’s history, much safer than Prado and landcruiser！ You can tell how far the Chinese vehicles come from. Cannon Alfa is also based on Tank 500. Like more competition. The new Prado is going to increase its price by $12k when it comes to Australia. How greedy Toyota is. We have been ripped off by the Japanese/American/European car manufactures so long. My friend has driven his GMW Cannon for over 3 years travelled 100,000kms, it a very reliable and solid ute, plus it still has 4 year warranty remaining, how confident GWM is！

[@aljoubert8749]

90000kms towing 50% of the time in a Cannon ute. Zero issues

[@c.quinny]

ANCAP only goes up to 5 stars, so you can’t do better than that on the test. Don’t forget the Tank 300 also got 5 stars, but also lifts its rear wheels off the ground on heavy braking. I personally wouldn’t trust my life with a Chinese vehicle, especially when the Chinese don’t either following recent crashes with airbags failing to deploy and doors not being able to be opened.

[@LoveEVandenvironment]

@@c.quinny I can tell you do not even have basics about car. 5 star also have different scores. Tank 500 scored 93 while Prado and landcruiser only scored around 80. You should complain to ANCAP why it gives higher safety score to GWM rather than Prado and landcruiser. LOL.

But. But do you realise that those annoying beeps and bongs can be adjusted? I would rather detune the bing's and bongs, put all the saved money in the bank over buying an outdated Hilux. Why do reviewers not know, or say, that the features can mostly be detuned or over ridden. Why do they not say that the Hilux simply doesn't have those features in the first place?

[@rabaker7253]

You're 100% right....so many don't both to work out how to switch them off. All vehicles (all brands) will have these annoying systems soon if they want to have their 5-star ANCAP rating....even if most people don't want them. I have an LDV D90, and I was able to switch off most chimes/alerts that come up - and it stays off every time I start the car - - but I think most new vehicles this is an area that has changed. I'd look closely at what can and cannot be switched off and what 'safety features' go back to default every time you start the car.

[@Ausijoeblow]

ANCAP makes manufacturers jumps over hoops to get the stars😅

[@cooljool1]

they can't be detuned and because you have to override them every time you enter the vehicle and start it. all that tech is not necessary. The Hilux just needs a bit of an update and thats it.

[@wayneleungwai3329]

I hope someday we can watch a truly impartial, honest, and knowledgeable person to conduct car reviews. Nowadays, every new car must include all the mandatory "Bings and bongs" to achieve a 5-star ANCAP rating. GWM includes these features in its already affordable price. GWM is exposing the likes of Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Ford, etc, for ripping off the consumers for years, with a over priced, basic outdated product.

[@RedDog-e7v]

Impartial and honest, yeah righto champ, just like all the paid reviews on KZbin of Chinese vehicles paid for by Chinese car companies full of Chinese 50 cent army comments on the comments section,like that sort of impartial?

[@wayneleungwai3329]

You must be a Toyota supporter. @RedDog-e7v At the end of the day, Toyota and other manufacturers you support aren’t exactly loyal to their customers. With what Chinese companies are offering-often a superior product at a more reasonable price-it’s a welcome change in these unpredictable times. Healthy competition from Chinese carmakers is driving other brands to reconsider their pricing, which only benefits us, the consumers. Are you saying that the review here is impartial and honest? And what paid reviews on KZbin are you talking about? Do you think other car brands don’t practice the same process? You think this review here isn’t paid? It might as well have been, with the way it was conducted, including contradictory comments and favouring personal opinions. The reviewers seem to have one leg on the fence, with the other firmly on Toyota’s side. For this Hilux, it’s priced at almost 70k before the optional interior, which costs another $2500. Meanwhile, the Cannon Alpha is well under 60k, with everything included-arguably a better interior as well (all included in the price). The Alpha also comes with a “longer 7-year roadside assist and longer service intervals; we just don’t know the price.” The reviewer mentioned that “Hilux is affordable to service in the first three years”-but affordable compared to what? Even the tub liner and roof racks are extra with the Hilux, adding to an already inflated price. The review starts positively about the Cannon Alpha’s interior but then tries to spin it negatively, nitpicking on things like the tachometer and volume reset difficulties, not to mention temperature settings. In fact, the reviewer stated that the tachometer was missing from the digital dash, but this was only because he didn’t know how to use the system. Don’t you think the reviewer’s lack of tech-savvy might be the issue? Later, he calls the Toyota’s interior old and less techy, yet somehow spins it as “comfortable.” Remember, that interior upgrade is an extra cost to consumers. He again calls the Toyota interior aging, yet says, “at least it’s easier to change the volume and adjust the temperature,” pointing out that the Toyota has a proper tachometer. I could keep pointing out more details to support my argument, but honestly, that might take all day. For now, it’s enough to say that it’s a positive thing that the market is becoming more competitive. This kind of competition pushes all brands to offer better and more affordable products for the rest of us, rather than relying on brand loyalty and inflated prices for outdated features. It’s clear that newer players like GWM are stepping up with value-packed offerings that force established brands to rethink what they’re delivering and at what price. Instead of dismissing these brands outright, maybe it’s time we give credit to those that prioritize quality, affordability, and innovation-qualities that ultimately benefit consumers the most.

[@wayneleungwai3329]

@RedDog-e7v It’s a shame you only read the first few words because you missed the point of my comment. I’m not “anti-Toyota” or “pro-Chinese,” but I am a fan of fair competition. I’m simply pointing out that some brands offer good value for the money, especially as vehicle prices keep rising. If it means consumers can save a bit and still get quality, why not consider all options? Toyota makes solid vehicles, no doubt, but being open to alternatives doesn’t make someone less of a “real man” or less qualified to talk about cars. Different people have different needs, whether for work or personal use, and a competitive market helps ensure everyone can find the right vehicle without paying a premium just for the brand. At the end of the day, we’re all just here to share opinions. Whether it’s Toyota, a Chinese brand, or any other manufacturer, the choice should come down to what works best for the individual-not just brand loyalty.

@@sOuR_pLuMM_ know many people who own gwm cars and 2 in our family, not an issue with any of them . Compared to how many times we had to have our Toyotas in the services centre with issues I’d never buy an outdated Toyota ever again

Ranger engines too often dead before they reach 100k.

Gmw is just a toy, don't last and too much problem down the track, don't compare it to hilux, gmw can never beat hilux, in 5 years time gmw sell for just 10k no one buy, but hilux still selling at 50k...that is the difference between them

The Cannon is not on the same level as probably the most reliable ute on the planet. Nice tech and options, not to mention it looks good, but it’ll start falling apart in a few years. Hilux will run for a generation without any major issues

[@aljoubert8749]

Like my Hilix that spent more time in limp mode than actually driving? DPF issues? The "unbreakable Hilix" story in 20 years I the past mate

[@wcrash9361]

You obviously undone know about all the hilux issues and the crazy number of recalls Toyota has had

[@Partyology1]

Toyota is no longer "unbreakable"

[@robvanduren761]

@@aljoubert8749 Dam right mister. I know all my customers with toyota shitbox dpf issues so bad they went and brought new Amaroks. They are getting major things fixed under warranty already on the Amaroks as well. Lesson is how many modern vehicles are reliable in a year lifespan let alone longer than 5 years. Warranty piece of paper is worth nothing either
