FOLLOWING THE RECENT GWM CANNON 2.4-litre launch, GWM has announced the introduction of a new grade, Premium, which will be positioned as the entry- grade specification, available with the 2.0-litre powertrain in either Single Cab Chassis with tray (4×2) or Dual Cab utility (4×4).
A Dual Cab Chassis with tray (4×4) will also be offered in Lux with the larger 2.4-litre engine.
These additions not only position Cannon more competitively in the segment but provide increased versatility and robust design tailored for both work and lifestyle purposes.
The 2.0-litre turbo diesel, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, is a direct carryover from the previous model. It continues to deliver a robust 120kW and 400Nm while maintaining a maximum braked towing capacity of 3,200kg. Fuel efficiency remains a key focus, with recertified and improved consumption figures of 7.6L/100km for the Single Cab Chassis and 8.1L/100km for the Dual Cab.
The Single Cab Chassis variant features an extended wheelbase of 240mm, improving load distribution and vehicle dynamics. Additionally, a higher payload capacity of 1150kg ensures suitability for both commercial and fleet operators needing a customizable and capable utility vehicle.
“These additions further strengthen the Cannon’s appeal by offering greater flexibility for commercial, fleet, and private buyers seeking a robust and adaptable workhorse, whilst ensuring GWM’s strong value position remains” said Steve Maciver, GWM’s Head of Marketing & Communications.
The new Cannon variants are backed by GWM Care, which includes a seven-year/unlimited km warranty,
Five years of roadside assistance, and five years of Capped Price Servicing, reinforcing GWM’s commitment to reliability and long-term customer confidence.
