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

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.

But why didn't you review the one with REAL leather seats so that you don't have to emphasize on FAKE leather seats of the LOWER range. Remember the word FAKE has unfairly been taken to be synonymous with the CHINESE as if all the Western countries make is ORIGINAL, which we all know it's not necessarily the case. At the pace the Chinese are going, they are going to be taking over that segment in as early as 10 years, you can mark my words. People that are new on the market who don't have any conservative views will simply continue to go for those Chinese cars as they have done with the Haval. Great review overall.

[@Squirki]

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.

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.

[@matthewwaller3188]

@@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…

Looking at buying one but I would like to know how well it tows. Is a review on towing as yet?

[@grantgrant9430]

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

[@conmanumber1]

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.

So stuff you they put a virus out in the World and then shut down their domestic Airlines but let all International flights out, spreading that virus around the World knowing full well how dangerous it was but told everyone that it was fine and abused our Government for eventually stopping flights from China. 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.

I don't understand that why GWM don't sell this pick up truck in Laos

[@ScottMurrayBestFamilyCars]

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.

[@grantgrant9430]

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.
