GWM Cannon Alpha 2026

GWM Cannon Alpha 2026

FROM $50,490

The 2026 GWM Cannon Alpha range of configurations is currently priced from $50,490.

Our most recent review of the 2026 GWM Cannon Alpha resulted in a score of 8.5 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Contributing Journalist Mark Oastler had this to say at the time: The Cannon Alpha Ultra PHEV combines five-star safety, a confident warranty, lavish luxury and short-haul electric driving for a competitive price. However, from a pure workhorse perspective, its class-benchmark 3500kg tow rating is offset by a modest payload limit, plus an awkward spare tyre location which could be a deal-breaker for some tradies as it compromises working floor space and the securing of loads.
