2022 GWM Ute Cannon X review: Flagship Great Wall 4WD dual cab pickup put to the test off road 

are you in Melbourne mate?

@@monkeyking9291 He said GWM/Haval Port Macquarie NSW

@@monkeyking9291 Sorry mate in Port Macquarie!

Any chance of a Canon spacecab here in Oz?

What a salesman! absolutely thumbs up!

Exactly what I was thinking. Alot of review channels now are borderline useless (aside from being immensely biased from particular companies) but this review was great. Although I'd rather go the Triton in this price bracket, it's great to see every ute under 75k not being rated 2/10 simply because it's not a Ranger or Hilux..

Truck????

@@fowlsy71 it"s just what i call this type of car, to me a ute is like a holden commodore or ford falcon nothing to much more than that buddy

@@johnsambar26582017 tritons any good? I’ve heard mixed things about mechanical issues etc

@@JRtheBoy not too sure on that model mate, I'm not a mechanic but havnt heard much in general.

Have you ever drove a Toyota Hilux,how do you compare it to it?

@@rufaimuhammadaminu6873 I've driven both, my work vehicle is a mid spec Hilux 22 model dual cab, my work also has about 20 other fairly new Hilux's....... What a bag of sh!t they are, I wouldn't own one if you paid me and most people at my work think the same

How did that go for you mate?

@@ErkkieHaipinge ordered this week and have to wait 5 months for delivery. Hope it goes ok. I will let you know.

I own a 2009 great wall v240 ute. 13 years old from new and never had a major issues been reliable and trusty. Only thing is the body now does have some rust in another few years her life will be over due to rust I doubt it will be mechanical

How’s your Great Wall going mate?! Loving it?

@@JRtheBoy. It's actually going really well. 8000 kms in and no complaints. It's a vicious animal off road too. Filter burns are a pain but that aside. The big boys are just taking the piss with their prices now.

Yes. Lack of a light is really annoying.

Only if the diehard fans stop buying the others at their inflated pricing.

I'm 6'4" and I second that. The Cannon is larger than the Ranger and besides the Navara, the Hilux, Bt-50, D-Max and the Triton is just made for tiny people. I just did another full day, 700km plus drive in the Cannon with no knee or back pain. The adaptive cruise and TJA (Traffic Jam Assist) makes your drive mostly stress free. When you get your Ute, drop your tyre pressure to 33 psi front and 32psi rear when driving with no load. It will eliminate most of the ride issues.

@@chriswording8638 sound advice my man. Thanks for the info. Im also looking forward to not having to change gear and bang the clutch in endlessly too Im interested in your reasons for selected tyre pressure too.

@@hernendezsanchez7646 tyre pressure will be subject to load. The factory only provides one recommended tyre pressure which is fine, when the ute is fully ladden. But if it is not, those settings are just to high. When I commute daily on my own (about 200kg load) those settings seem to be right (33-34 psi front 32-33 psi rear). The factory calls for 34 front and 34 rear minimum. Which is fine, when you have 2 mates in the car and some 4-500 kg load in the back. You will just have to see it for yourself I suppose...

@@hernendezsanchez7646 how's it going so far? Also 6'3", looking at this and the Musso as they're comfortable and roomy.

@@XSAoRAD mate do it. They are good cars. Just clocked over 15k. I did have some rear end shudder on take-off under load. gwm dragged their feet a bit but ended up changing my rear end suspension for me for free. Its a rare issue they reckon, so far so good. There's a few things with the car that I find a bit annoying, like most cars, but the 360 camera, front and side cameras are great for shopping centre and street parking. This has made it awesome for reversing etc as I've got a crook back and neck and I don't have to strain myself as much to see out the windows. But overall, the comfort, driving position and head clearance was what sold it for me. Go for a coule of test drives and see if it suits your lifestyle and most importantly, fits you too. Good luck mate. 👍

Any updates as to how its going now?

Thank you @shirlprada2447. Glad you enjoyed watching!

Just keep in mind depreciation losses compared to other utes, even Mitsubishi.

Picked my X on Monday, 1200km already❤️🥰💘👍

Cupholders are in the doors, not on the arm rest.

Fr that mode is insane. What it does to the Ute is crazy. I went offroading with mine and a isuzu dmax and a land cruiser got stuck with big off-road tires. But my Cannon went through it all without getting stuck once

All Utes will do the job, as a part time off roader, the GWM will do the job for me. I change cars at 100k so if it doesn't last 300k kms, who cares?

you might want to check with your lease provider as I enquired through mine a few weeks ago as a salary sacrifice and as the GWM has a payload of 1050kgs it is over the allowable payload of 999kgs set by the taxation office so they wouldn't allow me to lease 1. let me know how you go.

@@shaneyoung2955 Tks for the heads up. However have decided to keep my trusty T60.

You're paying for the badge mostly. Do you think the Toyota Hilux costs more to manufacture? If it does not much at all.

@@chriswording8638 they very overpriced for what you getting in all honesty. We are definitely paying for brands and their so called reliability or quality.

@@henkstols9326 Hope we have these Chinese cars here in the states, paid usd 27k for a mid spec Mazda 3 hatch, with some interior issues from day 10, the car market now is crazy... I understand those established brands have "some engineering advantages" over newly-born Chinese brands, but extra 20k? I don't think so.

pop on one of the FB pages. Plenty comments about towing. Tows like anything else really.

No. There was a software update that fixed that.

240mm unloaded and 190mm fully loaded from memory mate

Did you sort it out what was it?

Easily fixed with a black out kit by savage tech

Al works really well. As with most newer vehicles Lane assist is on by default which I which they would change.

It's a brand new model. Ask this question in 4 years time.

I'd say alot.

not accusing but do you only do short trips and city driving, DPF's will not function correctly in these settings they require long drives to achieve the correct burn offs

You should try the new Hilux's, I drive one every day and it's a heap of sh!t constant DPF's are a pain in the arse, I don't see how the cannon could be any worse

there is lift brackets on the market and takes 5 mins to install

like the 300 series landcruiser behind the right hand rear wheel

Hideous grilles seem to be all the rage these days. This one is actually pretty tame compared to the ridiculousness BMW and Lexus are giving us.

Can get the black out kit 💯

@@danmccarthy4700 haha ...and the toilet seat 9n the grill😂😂

That Google maps icon on the front is a bit much, but looking past all of that it seems to be good value.

You can buy a few substitute grills too if it isn't your thing.

I don't know what are you complaining about, I got the same condition from Ford. 5 years or 100 000 kilometers, 8 years protection against rust, and as for breakdown or road assist, you got it even better, here in Europe (Bosnia and Herzegovina) we can only call for official state owned company tilt tray truck that is going to pick up a car and it's only 5 miles free of charge, after that, they apply expenses per mile even though we have to pay annually for a "road state service". So for anything over 5 miles, it's best to call private company and get the deal done, otherwise they are going to skin you alive. And fuel prices and everything else in Europe is DOUBLE THE PRICE compared to what Australia and U.S. are having.

@@adrianshephard224 gees Adrian that's hard. Here in Aust they revised it all in Writing now. 7 yrs full mech and body warranty, unlimited km. And 5 yrs full roadside assist unlimited km ,, as was told when purchasing. Their reputation was so poor no one would give them a try , so they went all out. Plenty on the road now and haven't had a single owner that I've talked to say they've had anything other than teething problems. I'm at 65000 without incident. Would suggest you acquaint yourself with the manual dpf cle aging as that can catch you out.

@@bandlfishingandcruisespl2841 Here we don't have any Chinese brands whatsoever. Some dude did tried to import few Geeley's but they were based on some old Citroen or whatever. And due to the fact that Citroen has bad rep as well, nobody bothered to even give it a try. Since then no Chinese car ever came to the country at least that I know of! Because Germany is so close, we are dumping ground for Germany's used cars. You can get a Mercedes or BMW easy, problem is not buying problem is maintaining these cars. If you go to Mercedes official dealership, just for them to plug in laptop and scan problems, which takes about 5 minutes, they charge 150 euros. And the spare parts costs an arm and a leg. Most guys just go to the junkyard and try to acquire spare parts themselves. It's much cheaper however it's labor intensive and for some things, you indeed do need specialized tools. Most spare parts is plastic fantastic. I can't fathom how can a BMW charge 300 euros for a plastic stupid pipe that connects to the radiator. It shouldn't cost more than 15 Euros, but because it's marked with BMW, they want to skin you alive. European car producers are INSANE. They are all owned by same guys and they do what they please. We need some healthy competition. Hope Chinese manufacturers decide to come into Europe big time.

Yes, I also think we should tax people who have no clue at all, what you reckon?

I've got one - extremely happy - Thailand or China Built doesn't phase me (did you know GWM Haval owns the old Colorado factory in Thailand?) - I guarantee many of the components on the major brands tech wise are Chinese manufactured anyway. A touch over $40k drive away with the warranty and roadside assist. Great comfort, great ride, excellent tech and large cabin for heaps of space. I saved $20k to invest!

I am waiting for the Haval H6 hybrid

To get the equivalent in Toyota SR5 your looking about 65k

You have the choice of Thai, Argentinian (soon to be Thai), Indian, Korean and Chinese, the only difference is price and the Thai ones are not on the right end of that.

$40k 7 year unlimited

....as much as your words....

Yep.... Would be worth noting at trade in... And isn't even cheap!... These halfwits could get a mitsubishi or Navara for nearly the same price if they actually looked

@@chriswording8638 meanwhile,China continues the trade war against Australian goods but we blindly keep promoting their products.

The ccp is in trade war with us, not gwm.

@@paulf490 in all my time as a consumer I've never heard anyone say they are happy that something is made in China.. Might be ok for now but let's see how it is in a few years

Sorry Simon Stone, you are unable to but ANY ute where there is NO component that is not built in China!

Why not?
