GWM Australia has confirmed that the value-packed new GWM Ute range will open with the Cannon Dual Cab 4x4 with a 2.0 litre Turbo Diesel engine and ZF 8-speed automatic transmission for a highly competitive $33,990 driveaway.
With extensive levels of standard equipment including a comprehensive list of safety features such as Lane Keep Assist, 7 airbags and Autonomous Emergency Braking with pedestrian detection, the Cannon puts itself firmly in the frame to be considered one of Australia's best value utes.
The GWM Ute line-up will be powered exclusively by GWMs own 4D20M 2.0L Turbo Diesel engine which produces 120kW and 400Nm. Mated to the ZF 8-Speed Automatic transmission, driveability is excellent and makes the new GWM Ute the perfect partner for work and play.
NVH levels are significantly improved over previous models to ensure in-cabin ambience and a smooth driving experience under all conditions.
GWM Australia Head of Marketing Steve Maciver said, "We firmly believe that the new GWM Ute offers a compelling all round package that will make Australian buyers think differently about their next ute. The $33,990 entry price point for the 4x4 Dual Cab Cannon AT is quite exceptional given the high level of features buyers can expect."
"We understand both the competitiveness and the opportunity in the ute segment and as such, it was important that we come in with a strong product offering and unbeatable value. The new GWM Ute firmly ticks those boxes and we expect to see increased customer interest in showrooms over the coming weeks." he said.
Initial shipments have already started arriving into Australia and will soon start making their way to GWM dealers ahead of the Ute's launch in November.
Full specifications, features and pricing will be disclosed in mid-November.
