GWM Ute Cannon-L review | Wheels Australia

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Chinese utes like the GWM Ute have always offered attractive price tags but sometimes fall short on quality and substance when compared with more established players in the market.
But is that still the case? As Robbo discovers, the affordable end of the ute market is changing for the better and the new GWM is a worthy addition to the segment.

    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 !
