Off-road test! GWM Cannon Alpha 2024 review: New diesel dual-cab ute a worthy Ford Ranger rival?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The 2024 GWM Cannon Alpha is looking to quickly make its presence felt, with the all-new dual-cab pick-up launching with not only a traditional turbo-diesel engine, but also a petrol-electric 'self-charging' hybrid powertrain that's a nod to the future of one of Australia's most popular vehicle segments.
We've already sampled the Cannon Alpha Hybrid, so now's the time to zero in on the diesel-powered variants, which are powered by a 2.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder unit that produces 135kW of power and 480Nm of torque. In fact, this engine is actually more fuel efficient than its electrified counterpart, averaging 8.9L/100km versus 9.8L/100km on the ADR combined-cycle test.
But in this expert review, CarsGuide Contributing Journalist Marcus Craft puts the entry-level Cannon Alpha Lux and its turbo-diesel unit through its paces in an off-road test to find out if it's a true Ford Ranger rival.

They need to change the logo to just GWM in bold letters.
I'm impressed with the look and features.
Lol toilet seat front badge. Funny but I have to agree.
It looks bloody good!
I wouldn't pay more than 50k for a car like this. What advantage does it have , other than price. Its the only reason you would concider buying one
What's with the giant Cyclops eye on the front grille?
I believe the Mazda and Isuzu 3 litre turbo diesel models ( same engine ) get better fuel economy than that mentioned in this review for a 2.4 engine , possibly because the smaller engine has to work harder .

yes this is the problem if they put a 3 lt diesel in them with the same fuel economy they would do better I can see them going cheap in about a years time great looking truck if it was 25 grand in two years time with 20 ,000 ks on them i would buy one sell my 2019 Pajero .
2.4 DIESEL 3500 towing not me you are right about the Toilet seat.
Give it 200kw/600nm and you'll secure a lot of buyers!

Buy the hybrid, produces more oomph than you requested, guessing you're now a satisfied purchaser

@@ianweal3081 I don't do hybrid.
I’d be cautious and wait for a few more iterations before I’d buy one.

Get a hybrid version with 257kw & 650nm then
Pos , but what you get and the margin for buy back later on the cars life will be squashed. If you’re smart , buy better .
It's Chinese, enough said!!!

Advise which vehicle you think they've copied for this particular ute. Nothing, I mean nothing in the market place looks and presents the same as this ute. This is their own design, built from the tank 500 which is radically different to anything else, again not copied. First hybrid ute drive chain to market also, who the hell did they copy to achieve your copied claim. GWM are really becoming class leading by ingenious design, development, leaving Thia built utes in the past, how can that be copying.
Cute, but have very high comsumption, plese improve about this topic
