2026 GWM Cannon review

This tougher truck from China gets the GWM Cannon's new diesel engine, but not the dual-cab 4x4 ute's facelift.

The updated GWM Cannon is good, but it needs a little more fine-tuning to threaten the segment-leading dual-cab 4x4 utes.

As far as mid-life updates go, this one has to be one of the most significant we've experienced. Should the Triton and Navara be scared?

Simon Christie takes the cab-chassis version of the GWM Ute off the beaten track to test its 4WD capabilities. Is this a budget HiLux beater?

Simon Christie puts the GWM Ute to the test on a 5000km round trip from Melbourne to Alice Springs – is the Chinese dual-cab up to the task?

The new flagship of the GWM Ute line brings a different four-wheel drive system plus more off-road gear, for a premium. Is it still a bargain?

The ute market has gone nuts, and GWM’s Cannon-X has seen a decent price hike in recent times – is it still the benchmark for budget trucks?

The GWM Ute is loaded with standard equipment across the range, but the Cannon-X takes things to another level.

Great Wall has made a great leap forward with the new Cannon ute, which packs capability despite its bargain price.

China's original ute-maker has rebranded from Great Wall to GWM, and its new Ute looks and feels about three generations ahead of its predecessor.
