The GWM product is truly appealing now days. The new Tank is truly appealing plus the journo reviews are amazed at its finish & ability, best of both worlds. I'm totally taken by it. As for the Cannon, they're a bloody arm chair on wheels compared to the park bench offered up by mainstream manufacturers. Resale argument is total B/S. You outlay less of your capital initially, the savings accumulate interest in the bank, you purchase another GWM at a lower price again, cycle continues. Old mate purchaseing from mainstream has to ourlay more capital, possibly borrowing & paying interest, then updates to mainstream, outlays additional capital again, like how do you lose out, your totally infront the whole time, plus your getting a more advance vehicle at each update. Dollar for dollar, you'd get 3 new trucks to old mates 2, so hes driving a older truck whilst you have newer tech & ability. Its just total B/S. DPF burns, our work Renault vans gave zero indication a burn was taking place. I'd pick up on the exhaust drone & know not to switch it off. One time I missed it, switched off, bugga. Start it, check engine light, so i took it for a 10klm run at 100k's, check engine light went out. 2nd operator of other van just switched off always. That van constantly through up check engine light that was ignored and driven short distances, eventually it would run like a busted arsehole and Renault service charged excessively to rectify each time. I could not convince that operator to listen for the drone & not switch off whilst occuring, cost company heaps. Brother ignored warning light a burn was occuring in his Amarok, switched off, straight into limp mode when restarted. All vehicles initially had issues, not just GWM. Slowly being resolved from what i see.

[@Ilikepie18855]

I got 38000km in Mandela land. I work in construction so I often carry 1 ton load and more, even though the turbo lag is very noticeable, but I have never struggled with loads. No problem in the last two year either.

[@wheelsbytheocean]

Yes it has some turbo lag for sure. I'm pretty used to this though. My old Triton was insanely bad 2013 model. As you know we get used to it and drive it a bit different because we know it's there hey

[@gerardyoutube3826]

Had Toyota, Ford and other major brands over the years and this is my best purchase decision by far.

[@wheelsbytheocean]

So good hey!! Amazing 4x4 for and amazing price haha we love ours! Cheers 🍻

[@exploringsydneyandbeyond9059]

Definitely agree with you on resale figures - I’ve always been a mainstream player but with their issues and current prices there asking , not anymore , thankfully there’s other options now , I believe with proper care and services it will last just as long with no more issues than what you’d get with main players , as a mechanic aswell ford ranger is the most common ute towed into my workshop , mainly let down by poor quality components that’s let go such as plastic coolant hose pipes and turbo intercooler hoses and weird electrical issues

[@shirlprada2447]

Iv gone from a 2020 GWM steed to a 2021 4x2 GWM Cannon to a 2022 GWM Haval hybrid. They were all great to drive/handle for what I needed at the time. I now have a 2023 GWM Cannon X and it’s awesome. I feel safe and the vehicle keeps my driving honest. Watching your video is fabulous for dummies like me lol, so I can learn to operate it at its best. I read in a review the gearbox is German design and in another review it has BMW input. Either or I really enjoy driving my Cannon Ute.

[@wheelsbytheocean]

How good is that! I'm addicted to GWM now hahaha. Actually good cars! Amazing how far they've come. Thanks for watching and commenting mate. Much appreciated Cheers 🍻

[@Ranger670]

Think about the need for a bull bar. I have an expensive bar on my Ranger and it's pretty much the most expensive aerial holder ever. If you're towing a van at night, you're doing something wrong. What's the chances of hitting a cow or a roo during daylight hours? Park up by 4 and open a beer. I wouldn't get a bull bar/roo bar again. With the sensors and air bag compliance, they're over $3K. A winch can be mounted around a smaller push bar and if you want a lot of lights, question how much you'll be driving at night. Save yourself the weight and money. With the sensors and air bag compliance, you'll spend over $3K. Good review thanks

[@wheelsbytheocean]

Appreciate the advice there :) Yeah I'm sure we'd be fine without a bullbar. We've gone this long haha 😄

[@DanielSan-ch7dr]

​@wheelsbytheocean I've been humming and haaing back and forward on bull bar or no bar and only reason I really want one is to fit a winch but it's adds weight and then reduces tow capacity and payload. I watched your lift kit video yesterday and that made a big difference which gives that extra clearance for front bar. Probably wait till I hit something and get in on insurance.

[@wheelsbytheocean]

@DanielSan-ch7dr hahaha wait till you hit something haha just saying what everyone's thinking aye hahaha Yeah still on the fence I do love the look of a bullbar though 😏

[@markbennett8496]

Just bought a cab chassis with a tray version after 7 years in a Triton…but after some concerns about going Chinese I’m so impressed! GWM have massively lifted their game and compared to the competition this is seriously good value. I shopped around before taking the plunge and came away wondering how the top three can charge so much for some pretty basic spec gear. Roomy, quiet, comfortable ,easy on fuel, albeit with some strange quirky things that are minor issues in the overall package, but the killer warranty is unbeatable. Very happy convert.

[@bartbug1]

Great video, really makes you think about buying a new Hilux/Ranger/Colorado etc. I'd say China has really hit the mark on this car. Thanks for the videos.

[@Adam-7_7_7]

Good review mate , the only negs with mine (41K on the clock) is that the first 700kms in , i noticed my steering was a bit 'knocky' when turned from side to side. I took back to GWM , and they replaced the rack under warranty 👍. The dpf burnoffs are a little annoying , and if you turn the car off when its doing one, ( 3× times consecutively)it will go into limp with a check engine light ( easy to override and clear ).Also GWM told me to bring it in for a recall ( change headrests to satisfy ANCAP 5star rating ) , funny enough , i removed centre rear, as it obstructs my view. It could also do with a rear seat roof light, as its totally black back there when trying to grab groceries out at nite. But all in all, im pretty happy with it ( ive had a ton of new cars from different manufacturers, and they all had gremlins lurking fresh from the packet ) Im eying one of those GWM tanks next..... Cheers mate

[@wheelsbytheocean]

Thats pretty good that it got sorted and that you noticed the issue. I've found the warranty to he pretty good and service departments helpful. I agree with your things above hey. There's always something haha Happy that you're at 40k all good. That'll be my next review for sure :)

[@Tubedriver42]

Good review mate, been following and your early vids helped me in choosing the Cannon-L. I've done 5000km, mostly highway driving, no towing yet. Couple of minor issues. A couple of times something happens with the sensors or cameras and it tells you it cant read speed signs or the collision avoidance wont work, but then it fixes itself. Doesn't affect its driving though. It also surges a bit, especially when its warming up. Got a clean bill of health for the first service though so all good. Agree with the below comments on the lack of an interior light in the rear of the cabin, a bit annoying. I too dislike the auto lane guidance, I wish it gave you an option to turn it off and keep it off instead of it resetting each time you turn off the car. I would have thought an easy fix for a software update. I also dislike the fact that when you've slowed down say in a car park or coming up to some traffic lights and the cameras come on, you cannot make any adjustments like turning down the volume on the radio. And if anyone is thinking of buying one with roof racks (bars) installed, don't. Get good aftermarket ones. The "GWM" ones supplied with mine make a ridiculous amount of noise, especially when it's windy. I'm getting a canopy on mine very soon. I've never had one on any of the utes I've had so I'm looking forward to seeing how that goes. And see how it goes on a trip up NW of WA later this year. You've covered all the pluses of owning this vehicle, so not going to comment on that. Cheers..

[@wheelsbytheocean]

Thanks for watching mate. Some good comments there :) You should hear my wind noise now haha 😄 I'm pretty keen on a canopy too

I have a 2021 canon bought it when it had 25000km and it’s now done 35000. No issues what so ever, the drive is awesome and fuel economy is brilliant. I will buy another GWM in a heartbeat. Ranger and Hilux can eat dirt

[@DCA001TUBE]

Thanks for this review, definetly the best one I've seen. I think you just convinced me to go and buy the 2022 Cannon L CC for $34.5K. It's got 28K km on it but I guess it doesn't matter with an unlimited warranty. Or I might just bight the bullet and spen $36.5K on a new one.

[@wheelsbytheocean]

Thanks so much for watching mate! I love our Cannon! Oooo only 2 more k for new one sounds pretty amazing. Nothing like a new car smell :) Let us know which way you go. Cheers mate 🍻

[@DCA001TUBE]

@@wheelsbytheocean Yeh, I decided the 2K was worth it, rang them to tell them I'd take it and someone beat me to it, and I can't find another CC, so It's back to the 2nd hand one🤣which is an L with the tub removed and a tray and tow bar fitted. I'll let you know how I go, I'm thinking I might fit an IDrive or a Hike It, if I feel it's lacking in the power dept. I found it made a huge difference to my 2.3l D5 Delica.What do you think?

[@wheelsbytheocean]

@DCA001TUBE I'm really happy with the power. Mixed feelings about the drive, It's just a signal booster for the throttle fly by wire. But Savage Tech has a tune that's looking pretty positive that I would be keen to test out. But I've driven mine around Aus stock so I'm super used to it.

[@Watcherw1]

Would you recommend buying a used one? Or near new? Only asking because of reliability

[@wheelsbytheocean]

I loved buying a new one so much was so cool! That's brand new car smell and feels haha was awesome. But saying that, if your gonna save like $10,000 then yes I'd go for a used one if thats better ok the bank and situation. Still has heaps of new car warranty so not much to worry about Cheers

[@jasonedgley9867]

That is not too bad for a loaded car with gear and bigger tyres etc as well. The ZF 8 speed IMO makes all the difference keeping the engine in the torque and power sweet spot unlike other Jap utes that have 5 or 6 speeds. Wondering if you have had this one tuned or is it stock output?

[@wheelsbytheocean]

Hey! Yeah that's right mate. It's definitely a bit faster when it's empty haha. Mines loaded right up lol Na mine is completely stock engine wise. No tunes or throttle controllers. :)

[@jasonedgley9867]

@@wheelsbytheocean I am considering one as my Grand Cherokee is approaching 10 years old and nearly 190k. Apart from going back to a ute ditching the awesome V6 turbo diesel with 186 kw and 630nm does worry me, will I miss the extra ponies? Mine weighs in at 2.7 tonne loaded has winch, long range tank the works, setup as a full tourer. Full tank of fuel she does 0-100 in around 10.9 seconds with traction control on just over 10 with it off and I average around 12.5 litres per hundred. What sort of real world litres per hundred are you getting both towing the van and not?

[@wheelsbytheocean]

@@jasonedgley9867 I might give the Cannon another few runs as it was a super hot day and midday too. Might go better with some cooler air :) Real i get around 10 - 11km per 100 when not towing. A bit more if im in a racing mood haha When towing i average 17.3 to 19L per 100. But usually closer to the lower. Hope this helps :) I have had most utes as a company car and this feels no different in power. 2016 4x4 hilux 2017 4x4 Dmax 2020 Mitsi Triton 2019 Mitsi Pajero Sport (My most recent vehicles before the GWM) All went just as good. The GWM is my choice now :) Would buy again in a heart beat!

[@leop3009]

Another argument that comes up all the time ... and this goes with any vehicle except Toyotas are resale value. My take on it is if youre using your vehicle on the daily and/or for work as well, in the case of a ute... youre probabpy gonna get to the high 200 or 300K kms .... by then most vehicles have low resale prices anyways, aside for Toyotas apparently. So if you worry abput resale values, get a Toyota , with the what we call "toyota tax" added to tue initial price which u may get back upon selling the vehicle. Or... save on the price and just enjoy what u bought, not worrying abt the millage and other stuff when its te to sell or you want a change. Unless of course youre the type that change vehicles yearly or every 2 yrs ....which a handful of us dont do.my opinion on resale values🤔

[@Supersnakeridah]

Great vid ,im in the process of buying a gwm cannon , ur very confident in its realiabilty ,thats y im choosing gwm over a hilux or ranger ,price for what u get is phenomanal , i wanna know would a tune for more grunt or power be possible because its a turbo diesel im assuming yes,anycar is tuneable i guess TD.

How is the fuel consumption on this UTE? The petrol Chinese cars are at least a generation behind European engines but I don’t think that’s the same for diesel utes

[@wheelsbytheocean]

Bloody awesome. With the 3T Caravan in tow I get about 17.8L per 100. On average. I'm heavy footed too. But get lower in perfect conditions. Driving without the Caravan I average around 12 - 14 L 100 due to flat footing it everywhere we go haha. But heaps lower on highway driving. Hope that helps mate

[@seanfenwick]

@@wheelsbytheocean it does help but again just shows how far ahead the major brands are. I had a MN 3.2 triton which towed like a boss and gave similar figures on an engine that is as old as the ark. Then I had the T6 Ranger based Mazda BT50 which hardly changed and was pretty efficient with most tanks under 10/100. Then a new gen Isuzu and those can run much lower again.

[@wheelsbytheocean]

@seanfenwick yeah that's cool. Most other people are getting around 8L Per 100. But they must drive a lit softer then me. I drive the Cannon hard all day so don't expect the best fuel economy. Think it's more me than the ute haha

Mitsubishi Triton has a 10 Year Warranty That's Hard to Beat, What do You Think of the Mitsubishi Triton, Thank you.

I love Mitsubishi mate but issue there is you must service the car at Mitsubishi only to get the 10 Years So if service at Mitsubishi dealer for the whole 10 years you get 10 years / 200,000km warranty Or If you service elsewhere you get 7 years / 150,000km new car warranty Or GWM - Service anywhere you still get the 7 years UNLIMITED KM WARRANTY But my first preference was the Mitsubishi Triton but it was too small inside after driving the GWM it felt so small.

Yeah I can look into doing this. It probably wouldn't be for about 3 weeks though as we are currently overseas. The lights work as good as any other car I've had haha but I'll look into it for you

[@I_dont_want_an_at]

good video

[@wheelsbytheocean]

Thanks mate :) Appreciate that

[@anmolshrestha5204]

How can you keep your digital speedo always turned on, my one always goes off dunno

[@wheelsbytheocean]

Keep lane keep assist off. Or if DPF comes up or Cruise control coms up you can just press ok and it will go back to speedo :)

[@anmolshrestha5204]

@@wheelsbytheocean Great Thankyou! Always had issue with Red Sign on and digital speedo going on and off all the time. Thanks

What's the fuel economy? Thanks

[@wheelsbytheocean]

Hey, when towing the van i average around 17.8L per 100km. When not towing i get around 10-12.5L per 100 but I have a very heavy foot. I drive it like I stole it haha

How did you start the car by talking to the key fob? I've tried it a few time but not sure of the sequence.

[@wheelsbytheocean]

😆 😂

@@wheelsbytheocean you got me! hahaha

[@wheelsbytheocean]

@jahzen7 hahahaha did I actually? Haha I thought you were messing around. It was just something I had to do hahaha

Resale is something you pay for when you buy the car in the first place

[@wheelsbytheocean]

True! You know buying any new car you're gonna loose money. But you're paying for the benefit of having a vehicle that will hopefully last at least 7 to 10 years with no dramas. That's why I loved the GWM warranty. Just gotta get the services done :) Cheers mate

[@tomisapamsuraj2652]

GWM IS now THE BEST ALL ROUNDER NOWADAYS....and TANK300 IS BETTER THAN any AT 65,000 DOLLARS

[@wheelsbytheocean]

So true hey!!! Sooo many people buying them all up hey. Seeing them everywhere Cheers 🍻

Is it true that the other 4wd manufacturers won’t do bullbars and some other gear for gwm cannon ,except savage if true why is this,is the chassis ladder frame not strong enough???

[@wheelsbytheocean]

G'day :) I'm really not sure what you mean by this. I just fitted a bullbar to my car. There are many manufacturers building bullbars for the GWM Cannon: Savage Tech Bossco Auto Ocam Industries OffRoad Central PS4x4 TJM Ironman ECB Max Bullbars Cannon Parts Online Ozi 4x4 And GWM has Factory option bullbars too They are just from a quick google search. The Chassis is strong enough. The GWM has a 5 Star Ancap rating. Better than other Ute's on the market. The bullbar on my ute is fully ADR Approved too. I hope this answers your query :) Cheers

[@kristian829]

@@wheelsbytheocean thanks for feedback my info came from someone who’s affiliated with arb maybe at the time nothing was being made on scale for the cannon, things change in time I guess👍

[@kirk2632]

China doesn't have much interest to develop big internal combustion engine not because they can't, it is just their environmental regulations discriminates the large motor. Higher tax and stringent standard. They cant just develop large motors for overseas market as their overseas sales are pretty much nothing compared to its domestic sales.

[@wheelsbytheocean]

Thats a great point! Very interesting and makes a lot of sense. We are very small market in the big scheme of things

[@6foot8jesuspilledpureblood82]

Chinese made engine though. Oof, who knows when these will kick the bucket.

[@wheelsbytheocean]

I agree. Very keen to see how they go. Couple of em around with over 100k kms on them so that's promising :) so far so good.

[@alexzhao5877]

不咋行，开一两万之后变速箱肯定出问题😅。千万不能买这个车

My gearbox is all good.... 60,000 kms
