2022 GWM Ute price and features: Great Wall Cannon adds 4x2 dual-cab and moves closer to Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger in price

GWM has updated the pricing and features of its Cannon dual-cab ute range, which now includes an entry-level 4x2 version.

The Ute range has driveaway pricing, which now kicks of at $33,490 for the base 4x2. Representing a $1000 price cut from the previous base 4x4, and a $2000 price cut on the new base 4x4, the base 4x2 includes 18-inch alloy wheels, synthetic leather seats, a 9.0-inch multimedia touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, basic air conditioning and a reversing camera, as well as a well-equipped safety suite including auto emergency braking, lane-keep assist and adaptive cruise control.

Meanwhile, the base 4x4 has a permanent all-wheel-drive system and wears a new driveaway starting price of $35,490 whist maintaining the same equipment levels as before. It is the second price rise for the Cannon range since it launched.

Next in the range is the 4x4-only Cannon-L that's now priced at $38,990 driveaway, a $1000 jump over the previous price. The Cannon L adds 18-inch alloys in a different design, a sports bar and tub liner, a 360-degree parking camera, heated front seats with power adjust for the driver, and single-zone climate control.

The top of the Ute range is the Cannon-X, now wearing a driveaway price of $41,990, again a $1000 increase over the previous price. The Cannon-X adds black-appointed interior, improved interior trim, a 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster, a wireless phone charger, as well as power adjust for the front passenger seat.

While the base 4x2 brings a slight reduction in costs for prospective buyers, there’s no word yet on a single-cab version, which has been spotted testing in the past, and has been previewed by a single-cab off-road special which launched in China earlier this year.

GWM’s local division has also been quiet thus far on the dual-cab off-road editions which sport new suspension and a long list of tough additions as seen overseas.

We know the brand has big ambitions Down Under, as recently demonstrated by its refreshed range of Haval SUVs, so stay tuned as we learn more about GWM’s 2022 plans.
