Entire 2021 Great Wall Cannon range detailed! Game-changing Chinese ute gets seven-year warranty and drive-away pricing to lure buyers from the Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger

The entire Great Wall Cannon range has at last been fully detailed, with the new GWM Ute family to arrive with range-wide drive-away pricing and a seven-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty in an effort to lure ute shoppers from vehicles like the Toyota HiLux, Ford Ranger and Isuzu D-Max.

We now have the full pricing and specification list for the three-tier ute family, all of which are 4x4 and powered by the brand's 2.0-litre turbo-diesel (120kW and 400Nm), which is paired with a ZF eight-speed automatic. The utes are also equipped with a rear differential lock, and the brand is understood to be targeting a three-tonne towing capacity.

The GWM Ute range will measure some 5410mm in length, 1934mm in height and 1886mm in width, and will ride on a 3230mm wheelbase. As standard, it will offer up 194mm of ground clearance, and approach, departure and ramp breakover angles of 27 degrees, 25 degrees and 21.1 degrees respectively.

2021 Great Wall Cannon pricing and specs detailed: Game-changing Chinese dual-cab seriously undercuts Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger

Impressively, all GWM Utes will be covered by a new seven-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty as well as five years of roadside assistance, shading its rivals like Ford, Toyota, Mazda and Isuzu in terms of ownership coverage. 

Great Wall is describing its new ute as "the most advanced vehicle built so far by the rapidly growing GWM".

"Newly designed and engineered from the ground-up, the GWM Ute has been conceived to break the mould of conventional Dual Cab utilities with a combination of style, safety, comfort, capability and value that Australian ute buyers will find hard to ignore," the brand says.

That story will begin with the Great Wall Cannon, which will cost $33,990 drive-away, and arrives with a long list of standard equipment.

The cheapest option in the GWM Ute range gets 18-inch alloy wheels, body-coloured bumpers, LED headlights with DRLs and active fog lamps, side steps, powered mirrors, keyless entry and a shark-fin antenna.

Step inside, and you'll find push-button start, Eco 'Leather' seats, air-conditioning and paddle shifters for the automatic gearbox. The tech stuff is handled by a 9.0-inch touchscreen that gets Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while a second 3.5-inch screen lives in the driver's binnacle. There's also a power outlet for a dash camera, three USB ports and a 12-volt power outlet.

Inside is a 9.0-inch touchscreen.

The safety story is a good one, too, with Forward Collision Warning and AEB with both pedestrian and cyclist detection, as well as lane keep-assist, lane change assist, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control and traffic-sign recognition. All of which is joined by an impressive seven airbags, including a front centre bag.

The rang then steps up to the Cannon-L, which is yours for $37,990 drive-away, and builds on the safety and equipment list.

This time you'll get a "premium" 18-inch alloys wheels, while in the back you get a spray-in tub liner, a sports bar, and easy-down-up tailgate, and a cargo ladder. Inside, the front seats are now heated, while the driver's chair is powered, and there's a leather steering wheel, as well as climate control with rear vents.

All Cannon variants wear 18-inch alloy wheels.

The safety list is bolstered with front parking sensors and a 360-degree camera, too, and there's a roof rack, electric folding mirrors and a 220v power outlet, too.

Finally, the range steps up to the Cannon-X, which is $40,990 drive-away. The top-spec model gets the most impressive equipment list, with leather seats that are powered for driver and passenger, wireless phones charging, voice recognition, and a 7.0-inch screen in the driver's binnacle. The rear seat splits 60:40, and there are new steering modes, too.

Expect the GWM Ute range to go on sale in Australia late in 2020 or early in 2021.
