We put our Chinese GWM Cannon-X Ute up to the ultimate test in Australia: can it keep up with a Toyota Hilux and Isuzu D-Max in the Australian Outback? We subject the Great Wall, Hilux and D-Max to hundreds of kilometres of harsh corrugations, dirt, dust and wildlife to see whether the Chinese-made GWM Ute is really up to the task!
In today’s episode of Chasing Cars, deputy editor Nathan Ponchard, photographer Alek Hoskins and journalist Zak Adkins head from Sydney to Adelaide over 2500km via the Outback to shake down our long-term GWM Ute Cannon-X against a Toyota Hilux Rogue 2.8 and Isuzu D-Max LS-U 3.0 diesel.

15 months with the Cannon X and 15k on the clock. It’s done the Flinders Rangers on L8-L9 tracks, towed a 2.5t caravan and is a city commuter. No issues with rusting or quality. Unlike previous GWM vehicles, this Ute has reputable parts from ZF, Borg Warner and Bosch. I don’t think anyone will say it’s a Ranger or Hilux but to be honest, who pushes their vehicles to that extreme. With 3t towing, 300kg ball weight, 1050kg in the tray, the only Ute to have a tailgate step, 7yr warranty and for $41k it’s fantastic.

At the end of the day they're all work utes and none of them are worth more than $25,000! How much they cost is a joke!

DONT FORGET........GWM cannon is the first Generation of this ute. Versus the 8th Generation of the Hilux and 3rd generation of the Isuzu. also the comment about climbing a hill the cannon couldn't do because seeing over the bonnet the 360 camera on the cannon can be turned on when climbing such hills.. After market Suspension upgrades incl 2 inch lift's our also available now.......... Cheers

Have had a Cannon X now for 14 months and absolutely love it - no faults at all. Great service from the 3 dealers I've used

The Japanese utes are getting really expensive and feel like rip-off!

Have loved the GWM from the day it was released, Yeah it is not a full on off roader but neither is most consumers, Sold my Pimped up Prado as I am not hard core and have ordered a GWM Canon L, Should have done it from the start.. Great value at the price and who cares about resale, Why sell it, All Diesel/Petrol vehicles will be worth nothing in 5-10 years anyway...Thanks for the great realistic review...

70k for a Hilux vs GWM Cannon with a camper trailer and spare cash left, very tempting.

Do not forget, buying parts for chinese utes are far much cheaper than the Japanese parts, Chinese ute and cars are taking over, Japanese car are too expensive

How fascinating that us nowadays are so obsessed with numbers peak power and torque etc etc. so the 2015- 2018 or even early hilux(apart from SR5 which is ?top model) have 360NM, but I think there are tons of people still drive them around the town, and still tow up to 3.2tons(hilux legal limit for that model), if you think 363NM is lower than 400NM, I’m just wondering how people drive a 2015-2018 mid range hilux feel? Slow or lack of power on towing?

Thanks. Great review. I probably wouldn't drive like you guys while on dirt, so the suspension is not such an issue, although better shocks may improve it somewhat. I'm most interested in towing a small van. I would never consider a new Hilux or D max. Way too expensive. The GWM is very appealing and I'm guessing that being driven carefully and steady by an old fart such as myself, it may just be perfect for my needs.

My Cannon-X is on dirt roads hauling a trailer every week. No problems at all and 400NM/120kW is enough in isolation (Hilux had less power up to 5 "minutes" ago)

@bling7724

Just did 102000 in my first Cannon just purchased my second one. Value, economy, comfort and style. I work in central qld and have had no issues on or off road.

In South Africa the D23 Navara equipped with the 140kw 450Nm YD25 was smoked by GWM in a 0-100. but as mentioned in the video at high speed, peak power speaks.

You really know how to communicate how a suspension's behaviour affects the driving experience. Top marks to you!

Good too see you guys doing the classic Aussie Outback test. These big outback drives have been missing for a while, could love to see you take an EV or any other new car on Broken Hill and back adventure.

Interesting review. I'm in the market again for a new ute and I'm seriously considering the GWM. I had from new an RX NP300 for 5 years and did 500k. The reason I bought the RX single turbo was because I couldn't hack the delay when accelerating. The RX had no delay and felt like a petrol off the line so I installed the wheels, chrome bars on the rear and nudge bar. The point being, this model produced 120Kw of power with 400Nm of torque. Never was an issue and I suspect same with GWM. I used to tow cars on trailer just over 2 tonne. No issues. Only complaint was that despite the average fuel of under 8 litres per 100, when it towed it really sucked the diesel. Was very poor on the economy under towing conditions. But other than that, it had plenty of power for me so I suspect the GWM is just fine. If you're a V6 diesel punter then you'll never be satisfied with the GWM. But from what I'm reading, the GWM is hard to pass up if you have a limited budget.
