GWM Cannon 2026

Our most recent review of the 2026 GWM Cannon resulted in a score of 8.1 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Contributing Journalist Mark Oastler had this to say at the time: It combines big payload and towing capabilities with a standard tray and luxury appointments not usually offered as standard equipment in a single cab-chassis 4x2. And all at a price that matches more basic alternatives from the major players. So, for tradies, farmers or fleets wanting more bang-for-buck style than the usual entry-level workhorse, this could be just what they're looking for.

GWM Cannon 2026 FAQs

Can I get a canopy and bullbar for the 2026 GWM Cannon Ultra?

GWM lists a canopy for the Ultra version of its Cannon Ute. And while it also lists a bullbar for the Cannon Ute, it doesn’t specifically mention whether it’s suitable for the Ultra. There may be some body or trim differences that make it unsuitable for the Ultra, so a check with your GWM dealer would be the next step.

The aftermarket also has lots of suppliers who offer both canopies and bull-bars for a huge range of makes and models, so there’s almost certainly something available there, too.
