More Cannons! 2023 GWM Ute Cannon cab-chassis variants added to range as more options for rival to Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger dual-cabs

The cab-chassis versions of the Ute Cannon equate to three of the existing variants, but are slightly more expensive.

Tradies who favour trays have a new option in the dual-cab ute market as GWM has added three new cab-chassis variants of its Ute Cannon to its line-up.

Available with drive-away pricing at $1000 more than the regular pick-up versions, the Ute Cannon-CC starts from $36,990 in 4x2 specification drive-away, or $39,990 for the 4x4 version.

The cab-chassis is also available in Cannon-L specification - which brings more comfort features like heated seats, parking sensors and an electric adjustable seat for the driver - for $43,490 drive-away.

Each variant is also available, like the rest of the GWM ute range, with a lower drive-away price for buyers with ABNs, each $1500 less than the standard DA price.

Pearl white paintwork is standard and free, but two other body-colour options (Pittsburgh Silver and Slate Grey) are $595 each.

A couple of other specification changes result from the tray replacing the tub, including a payload increase of 80kg up to 1130kg, as well as a slightly longer ute overall by 101mm. Braked towing capacity remains the same at 3000kg.

The CC variants are still powered by a 120kW/400Nm 2.0-litre turbo-diesel engine, with an eight-speed automatic gearbox.

Each GWM Ute Cannon benefits from the brand’s seven-year/unlimited kilometre warranty, with five-year roadside assistance and five years of capped-price servicing.

Racing video games, car-spotting on road trips, and helping wash the family VL Calais Turbo as a kid were all early indicators that an interest in cars would stay present in Chris’ life, but loading up his 1990 VW Golf GTI Mk2 and moving from hometown Brisbane to work in automotive publishing in Melbourne ensured cars would be a constant. With a few years as MOTOR Magazine’s first digital journalist under his belt, followed by a stint as a staff journalist for Wheels Magazine, Chris’ career already speaks to a passion for anything with four wheels, especially the 1989 Mazda MX-5 he currently owns. From spending entire weeks dissecting the dynamic abilities of sports cars to weighing up the practical options for car buyers from all walks of life, Chris’ love for writing and talking about cars means if you’ve got a motoring question, he can give you an answer.
