Cannon Alpha News Today

Introducing the Cannon Alpha Hybrid.

The GWM Cannon Alpha is a bigger and bolder ute than the regular Cannon, with an impressive list...

We’ve become desensitised to ubiquitous ‘Made in China’ stickers on all manner of household products but there’s something about a whole car that incites extra scrutiny.

LDV has launched a new version of its affordable T60 dual-cab ute, bringing significant updates to its array of safety equipment and interior features. Dubbed the T60 Max Plus, the new variant sits atop the T60 range and brings a new dashboard design featuring dual 12.3-inch screens for the instrument cluster and multimedia display as well as a lockable tailgate, heated power folding side mirrors, electric park brake, and multi-link rear suspension.

GWM has officially confirmed pricing for long-rumoured 2024 Cannon Alpha ute with the dual-cab only 4x4 pick-up priced from $51,990 drive-away. The Cannon Alpha becomes the first ever ute sold in Australia with a ‘proper’ hybrid option, priced at $64,990 drive-away.

GWM’s line-up in Australia is growing rapidly, but the company still has an entire luxury sub-brand it says it won’t be bringing Down Under. At least not yet.

Some of the mostly hotly anticipated new vehicles due in the next 12 months are utes, but have they already missed the boat? Ute sales surpassed 200,000 in 2023 but how much more growth can our market sustain, especially with the spectre of the Federal Government's New Vehicle Emissions Standard (NVES) hanging over the market.

As part of a GWM new product blitz, the tough-looking Haval H9 large SUV has been revealed at the Beijing motor show, and the local GWM division confirms it is also on its radar for an Australian launch.

GWM revealed that it is strongly considering its Tank 700 for the Australian market to sit as its halo model, priced as high as $100,000, at an event in its hometown of Baoding, China.

Australia’s New Vehicle Emissions Standards (NVES) has killed off GWM's thumping 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6-powered Cannon Alpha variant locally. If you were hoping for a more powerful version of GWM’s incoming Cannon Alpha ute, you’ll have to wait for more hybrid versions.
