GWM Ute Cannon-L review | Wheels Australia

[@ardyaprilianta9732]

This ute is huge.. it pull up next to my bt50 and its higher than the mazda. It certainly got presence. It looks good on the road.

[@iggy5347]

Chinese car is getting better

[@Berzertles]

@@iggy5347 exactly, the only problem is that people are trying to escape that fact.

[@slaw38]

Indeed. I parked next to one in my mitsubishi triton and i thought rick moranis had shrunk my car.

[@DownUnder43]

I think it covers evertyhing for a damn good price.

[@shanejan441]

@Anthony Farrer how so???

[@dgc3rd348]

Picked up my Canon L 6 weeks ago , very impressed overall, Reviewers are not mentioning the Triton motor which GWM build for Mitsubishi or the German built ZF gearbox (goes in BMWs or Bosch powertrain , this ute is pretty good , downside , gutless aircon , inferior radio and speakers and i find myself permanently driving in sports mode so as not to fiddle round with the flappy paddles ,for the the price i can live with that !

[@sonypony4313]

hi mate i took one for a spin today ,lacking power coming from my bt50 but not at all sluggish,i was pretty impressed ,one thing that annoyed me ,glare on the dash made it hard to see dials ,the digital speedo screen is nice and bright but goes black after a set time, is there a setting to allow centre digital screen to stay on full time and not go to sleep??

Hi Darren, Would you recommend buying one, they seem great value.. Glenn

[@olebogengkgositlou2519]

Nice

[@David-sk7ls]

You didn't mention RUST. Rust Magnet. Make sure the warranty cover rust.

[@samy8897]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more beautiful beasty looking ute on the road wow looks amazing front n back although I would’ve liked it if they had the same company logo which is on the back on the front too

[@jay-uo2bi]

Yay, this segment needs some more competition.

[@girshboy]

Not every bloke can afford a Hilux or Ranger. Mitsubishi and Isuzu are decently priced,but I agreed we need more variety to level out the pricing and competition

[@anels9]

Another thing worth noting is the payload is 1050kg, more than the navara, ranger, hilux, triton. the bt50 has a 1090 though

[@malcolmscott4150]

Brilliant Ute starting to see a lot around as Ranger ages but the Ford’s price is ridiculous given its basic spec

[@stevewainwright2474]

[@stendecstretcher4983]

To Chinese automakers, Australia is a tiny market. These things are selling really well in China, the biggest auto market in the world. People are taking them to China mountainous west, with some of the toughest terrain in the world.

This and the Tank share the same platform. That makes this a beast!

It will do well in Africa. Other are over priced.

Apparently you can’t adjust the volume in reverse and when you open the back door at night the interior lights don’t come on. Not major issues but I like to see what they’re like after 300kms.

In China they recently brought out the GWM cannon electric and it’s incredibly fast off the start. It’s like a Tesla but a Ute

[@mvnorsel6354]

You would be foolish or extremely patriotic not to test drive this if your in the market. A great match at Bunnings loaded with goods from the PRC.

Well you can't fault China for Australia not making things. Look where car manufacturing went, and that's well before Chinese cars came to Australia.

No just sick of paying through the ass for other makes 7 yr warranty unlimited ks I bought one for that reason 40k top of the line about 28 cheaper than the rest go figure

[@markuc]

Since we are generalising, have to be a stuck up brand hore to be willing to pay 30k more with less warranty for a work truck. This is sometimes called the stupid tax.

[@shanejan441]

40k is not cheap, its all the other dual cabs that are way over priced, 70k+ for a ranger wildtrack GET REAL ! I priced a new model navara for less specs than this and it was 65k. I remember when the triton was priced accordingly to the GWM back in its day and people said it was a cheap piece of crap, now look at it ... 50k - 60k plus
