The GWM Cannon Alpha has been named Australia’s best electrified ute in the inaugural 2025 CarExpert Choice awards.
It beat out two electrified dual-cab finalists – the plug-in hybrid BYD Shark 6 and the all-electric LDV e-T60.
The Ford Ranger PHEV was launched too late to qualify, while fresh electric and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) entrants such as the LDV eTerron 9 aren’t yet available.

When it comes to electric, plug-in hybrid and hybrid utes in Australia, there aren’t many… but that doesn’t mean the Cannon Alpha PHEV wins by default.
It has impressive off-road capability thanks to front and rear differential locks and a proper four-wheel drive system with low range, plus a full 3500kg towing capacity, while offering a luxurious cabin with plenty of kit and sharp pricing.
To top it off, it offers the impressively low fuel consumption and relatively long electric range expected of a PHEV ute. That’s why it takes this award.
2025 CarExpert Choice: Best Electrified Ute
- Winner – GWM Cannon Alpha PHEV
- Finalist – BYD Shark 6
- Finalist – LDV e-T60
