The Cannon X is the top spec of GWM's dual-cab ute range, and a serious attempt at undercutting the Ford Ranger and Toyota Hilux on price while matching them on features. The styling is unashamedly American, the cabin is well-equipped for the money, and the off-road kit is genuine rather than cosmetic.
What you are buying
A 2.0 L turbo diesel making 120 kW and 400 Nm, paired with an eight-speed automatic, and a part-time 4WD system. The Cannon X spec adds front and rear differential locks, the 360-degree camera, the leather-accented seats, the larger touchscreen, and the upgraded driver assistance pack.
Cartell Assessment
The Cannon X is the value play in a segment where the Toyota Hilux Rogue costs nearly twice as much. The trade-off is the GWM brand recognition and the unknown long-term reliability story. The fundamentals are there; the buying decision comes down to whether you trust the badge.
AU Outlook
Cannon X pricing in Australia sits in the mid-$50k drive-away range. Cross-shop is the LDV T60 Max and the Ford Ranger XLT. Verify the exact drive-away figure with the GWM dealer build and price tool.
