Hey guys - just a note that after we filmed this, the Cannon scored a 5 star safety rating. This applies to all new vehicles ordered and can be retrofitted free or charge (the part required for a 5 star rating) to owners of existing vehicles.

but Hilux and the LC79 tops it.

Correction, ground clearance is 23 cm not 19. Also, when using downhill descent assist, you set the desired speed and then press the button. The car will hold the speed the vehicle was traveling at when engaging the function. You know, it would be useful to read the manual sometimes. And yes, you can turn off the beep and adjust even how loud the indicators tick. It isn't a complex system really. Radio, settings, volume - plenty of options. Vehicle settings, plenty of options...

Bought one in June. Is working pretty hard towing trailers and light off road work. Basically was a purchase based on the low price not expecting much (could not secure a D-Max, no stock). Has been faultless and probably the most solid vehicle we've owned thus far. No rattles whatsoever after 30000km which contrast with the Ranger XLT it replaced. Fuel consumption average between 9 and 10. Towing a 2.5t trailer it is sitting between 13 and 14.

35000km on my GWM Cannon/P-series here in South Africa. Love it. The lane assist might feel weird the first couple of times you drive this thing but after a while I don't want to drive without it. On longer trips it really works well. Sit back and relax, the car will do all the driving for you. Off road this thing works great. Just engage cross country expert mode next time. Makes a huge difference. Only thing I don't like is the position of the feul pump underneath. It is exposed and can easily damage. I made a steel cover for it. When I go off-roading I remove the side steps. this gives me a little bit more ground clearance. Ordered some rock-sliders, cant wait. Fuel economy for me: 10.3l/100km (combined city driving) , 9.3l/100km on the highway, 14.4l/100km towing my offroad caravan.

I totally agree about the lane assist. Like you said it actually helps drive its self.

We bought the X as our business shop Ute, had since August and absolutely love it. Highly recommend this vehicle, as it really is outstanding value for money 💰

It’s one of 3 that can drive in AWD on sealed roads. Plus you can fix the ride quality with an aftermarket suspension upgrade and still be tens of thousands cheaper than most of the big players, but get all the tech. Hopefully it gives the big boys a kick in the bum on actually putting some effort in

I'm super eager to see this space with what GW does for the next generations. I love that it's slightly bigger than a Japanese ute and smaller than an American ute. Best of both worlds.

Had our Cannon-X since December 2020 and love it. Completed 55,000Km driven round trip to Perth from Melbourne - round trip to Brisbane from Melbourne. Trips to the snow, 4X4 driving can’t fault it yet.

The one thing I would like to mention, that you probably don't know, is that it has a dedicated 4wd mode, which essentially provides the equivalent of centre diff lock for the bosch torque on demand system. Its funny that even the salesman don't know about it, so it was discovered for Australian owners via KZread and a Chinese video. When activated it also changes the calibration of the throttle and traction control. It's the usual, press traction control for 5 seconds thing. The name is very Chinese "off road expert mode"

One thing that these reviews are missing out on is Cross Country Expert Mode. It's a secret mode that's engaged by holding the traction control button for 5 seconds. Not mentioned in the manual at all but it disables all the sensors, turns traction control off, goes into proper 4H and turns this ute into an extremely capable off-roader. Haven't had the chance to use it on my Cannon X yet but other owners have reported that it is incredibly useful and I hope to see more coverage on it (especially since it seems like GWM themselves are forgetting to tell people about it).

Thanks Paul for another good review. Traded in my Commodore vf2 redline ute for a Cannon X last month. I have done just over 2000 km so far, no complaints. I did a bit of research before buying Cannon, GWM sold 146000+ Cannons in the first 2 years of production, every 2 utes sold in China, one was a Cannon, but there are 3 different versions of Cannon for sale in China, a passenger version with coil spring at the back, a commercial version with leaf spring and a cross country version with factory fitted snorkel air intake, bull bar, front wrench and heavy duty suspension. I am not worry about GWM' s longivity as they are a very large company in China, that's one of the reasons why I didn't get the Musso. But then if Holden can disappeared from Australia, anything can happen right? The brand image doesn't matter to me, I buy my work clothes from K- mart and Big W. My subcontractors drive Hilux and Rangers, wear Livis jeans. I have no problem buying things which are made in China, as long as they are fit for purpose and value for money. Just to let your readers know that the houses which I built here in Australia has numerous items made in China, from bathroom fittings and fixtures, electrical switches and cables, light fittings, door locks and handles, kitchen appliances, flooring materials, wardrobe and cupboards fittings, air conditioning. Those are the few items which I know of, some steel material and aluminium windows are also come from China. Not to mention that most of the building tools, nails and screws are made in China. So please don't bring politics into buying a vehicle. By the way, the warning chime volume can be adjusted on Cannon and if any Cannon owners are interested in accessories can check up the Chinese Taobao websites.

Hi Paul, we just got into a minor incident with our gate and our loading bin was hit. It held out really really well and it is only a minor dent and a tiny scratch. Build quality is also amazing and is a great car even for a little bit of a light off-reading tracks!

I bought my X back in April and am just approaching 10000kms. It's been solid as a rock so far reliability wise, I didn't buy it to do a ton of off-road driving, more so as a road trip machine which it does with ease. The ride is probably the biggest drawback, even more than the engine in my opinion. I'm a single guy so no worries as I'm always the driver, but if you have kids or a Mrs that doesn't love bumps on a long road trip as a passenger I imagine it could get a little uncomfortable if the roads are a bit average. Also in cruise in Eco mode it will flat refuse to drop gears to keep the speed up when driving up hill and just will progressively slow down. Only noticed it in Eco, in Regular mode it behaves normally. I know it's small but I'd love a software update to remove that Chinese text from the camera screen haha.

Hey Paul thanks for another great review. It seems pleasant enough with great features for essentially a price that's less than the base Ranger/Hi-Lux/D-max with a couple of add-ons.

Otherwise I suppose like the Korean cars of old the Chinese will eventually catch up to be on par or ahead of the mainstream Japanese and European.

There is a software update they did which decreases the frequency that it tries to do that. But even after the update I think I probably still get one attempt every 500 or so kms. Funny story is actually I had mine try to do it on short trips where I didn't have time to sit in the car for 20mins so I was shutting it off. After the 4th attempt which happened on a weekend it actually took 90% of the power away from me, like pedal for the floor and it would maybe 30kph. I ended up having to pull over on a busy road and do a manual one which does take 20-25mins. Afterwards it was business as usual. I think the car should ask whether it's safe or okay to do the burn rather than just force it. Agree with that annoyance.

I see plenty of these on the road here in Durban South Africa, value proposition of note this and its growing on me. I think this is appealing to the new type of bakkie buyers in the market that don't want a workhorse but something more refined and has plenty features and tech.

I see a lot of people saying Triton is better ute because it is trusted brand. But how many of you know that Triton (compare to traditional brand) is also cheap for a reason? Triton is much smaller ute, the interior is not much bigger than small car...if any bigger at all. I used to had 2013 dual cab Triton (company supplied car) and recently been upgraded to 2021 model. The new model is not any bigger than the previous model. They have less room than even previous model Hilux. Some of my colleague even declined new Triton when their 10 plus years old Hilux with 300K kms is due for replacement. It simply doesn't have enough head and shoulders room for them. We ended up giving them second hand 2WD BT50 for the same price. Also Triton with shorter wheels base has poor departure angle as well especially when fitted with tow bar. Although this is not a big deal around town.

They had to get the ACCC involved to get anything done. How hard will it be to get major warranty work from a Chinese manufacturer?

Awesome review as always Paul. Mahindra Pik up is another cheap ute you haven't reviewed yet to complete that market segment...and MG 3s are really popular too and yet to be reviewed. LDV van review was interesting too I thought - a bit different from your normal reviews 😁 Keep the reviews coming bud👌👍

Mahindra is trash

GWM is starting its sales now in Brazil and I intend to buy a HAVAL, so I ask if the vehicles are good and resistant.

Hello car experts, can you guy do a comparison video on LDV T60 and GWM cannon. It would be really helpful. Cheers

They put alot more effort into these utes compared to Nissan.

Brilliant review as always Paul. Where is the off road portion of your review filmed ? I’d love to check it out !

Thanks for watching! It’s filmed at a private facility outside Melbourne :-)

Waiting to get mine this year here in Namibia (south africa region)

Hard to ignore at the great price

I've heard there is a huge GWM cannon off road clubs and community in China which constantly doing desert crossing and tibet road trip(4000m+) high altitute. So surely its reliability can't be too bad. Thinking of buying one of these as my second UTE

Well done to the Chinese for shaking up the market. What is odd tho is the absence of mud flaps. The tail gate dampening and the bin lining are commandeble. If the Chinese can do it, wonder why the rest have never bothered...

And the inclusion of rear disc brakes, absent from major brands.

What’s that P-series app that came up on the screen with android auto

Hey Paul, I might be wrong but I heard 194mm clearance is laden and 232mm unladen. Hope it helps. Like your work mate and can’t wait for you to review new ranger raptor v6 as I already have put a deposit on it

impressive if they disclose a laden figure. LOL never heard others do that, if they were true journalists they would have measured this. I note Robert Pepper raised the Toyota Fortuner from memory about clearances that were publicised but they failed to measure from the lowest point under the vehicle lol.

@@offroadingfoz yeah mate, it’s says in their specs 194mm and then says laden in the bracket but 232mm unladen, however I could be wrong but yeah I think they should check it manually while reviewing it to get it better understanding for the people.👍

Maybe a petrol engine with a 6sp gear box? That will help the power output?

Any chance you can do the Mahindra?

Really enjoy your reviews, a gripe is the fuel economy that without fail is after idling etc. There is a thing called reset for economy and various other things, how about doing a reset then take it for a normal drive so you get figures for cruise or around town. Just saying it ain't rocket science.

Can anyone tell me if you have got a ecu tune etc has it actually made a difference in engine response?

15000ks going great even towed a 60 series LandCruiser on a trailer with it. Goes well.

much better buy than even an Amarock!

Serious question. Wifey is a small package (not tall), will she be able to drive a Cannon? This is one of the features I have to tick!!
