The 2026 GWM Cannon Premium is a diesel 4WD ute designed for buyers wanting practical payload capacity and towing ability, with its 3500kg towing limit and 1975kg kerb weight making it suitable for both work and weekend adventures. Its standout strength is the combination of a 5-star ANCAP safety rating and impressive seven-year warranty, offering genuine peace of mind that's rare in the budget ute segment. One thing to consider: with fuel consumption at 8L/100km and estimated annual running costs around $3160, you'll want to calculate whether the lower purchase price offsets higher fuel costs compared to petrol alternatives.

The 2026 GWM Cannon Lux is a compact diesel ute that suits buyers wanting practical 4WD capability without the size or running costs of larger rivals, backed by a reassuring 7-year warranty and 5-star ANCAP rating. Its standout strength is efficiency-the 2.0-litre diesel returns a respectable 8.4L/100km combined, keeping annual running costs around $3283 while delivering 480Nm of torque for genuine work duties and 3500kg towing capacity. One consideration is that at 1998kg, the Cannon Lux sits at the lighter end of the ute spectrum, so you'll want to verify payload capacity matches your typical load requirements before committing.

The 2026 GWM Cannon XSR is a practical dual-cab ute designed for tradies and families seeking affordable 4WD capability, backed by a lengthy seven-year warranty that sets it apart in a competitive segment. Its 2.4-litre diesel engine delivers respectable torque of 480Nm with a claimed 9.4L/100km consumption, while the 3500kg towing capacity and 5-star ANCAP safety rating provide genuine work and family credentials. The main consideration is that at 2060kg kerb weight, it's on the heavier side for its class, which combined with running costs around $3591 annually, means fuel economy in real-world conditions may exceed the official figures-particularly for owners doing heavy towing.

2027 GWM Tank 300 Revealed: Bigger Body, 260mm Longer Wheelbase and a 200km-Range Hi4-Z PHEV

GWM reveals the next-generation Tank 300 for China and it has grown up. Length up 126mm to 4,886mm, wheelbase stretched a full 260mm to 3,010mm for more rear-seat and cargo room, with a pushed-forward front axle behind that longer bonnet. And no, that nose is not hiding a V8, it is packaging not power, GWM's V8 plug-in hybrid lives in the bigger Tank 700 and Tank 800. The powertrain headline is a new Hi4-Z plug-in hybrid: a 2.0L turbo petrol four paired with a 59.6kWh battery for a claimed 200km of electric range, a pack bigger than some full EVs carry, which blurs the line into extended-range EV territory. The China range also keeps a 2.0T petrol, a 3.0L V6 petrol and the existing Hi4-T PHEV (37.1kWh, 105km), with a new 3.0L four-cylinder diesel reportedly in development. New roof LiDAR and Tank badging, though the new China cabin may not reach every market. GWM Australia says it sees potential for the Hi4-Z locally but has not confirmed the new car, its timing or pricing. The current Tank 300 stays on sale here from $49,990.
