The Lux is the new entry-level version of the facelifted GWM Cannon ute range, a facelift that has added plenty of zing. Pricing starts at $40,490 which is a pretty sharp proposition in the dual-cab ute world.
It’s a dual-cab with permanent four-wheel-drive, a transfer-case and uses body-on-frame construction. The big news is the new 2.4-litre engine (up from 2.0-litres) with more power and torque than before.
Interestingly, even though the new Cannon has more power and torque, it actually uses less fuel than the old version. A full litre per 100km less, in fact, for a combined official figure of 8.4 litres per 100km.
Standard equipment runs to alloy wheels, single-zone climate control, synthetic leather upholstery, wireless phone charging, plenty of connectivity, LED lights including auto headlights, keyless entry and a sprayed-on bedliner.

Safety levels are high for this price-point with auto emergency braking (AEB) that works at all speeds and can identify pedestrians and cyclists, seven airbags including a centre bag, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and a less-than-perfect version of active lane-keeping assistance.
The bigger engine and other changes mean the entire Cannon range can now tow 3500kg on a braked trailer.
