GWM launches tray-back Cannon-CC ute

GWM has announced an addition to its popular utility range this month with the arrival of the Cannon-CC, or cab-chassis, body style.

 

Adopting the same dual-cab styling as the current GWM Ute range, the Cannon-CC features an aluminium tray in place of the pick-up-style tub, which the importer says will make it a popular choice among trade and agricultural buyers.

 

Power continues to be delivered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine producing 120kW and 400Nm. It is mated as standard to an eight-speed automatic transmission and in conjunction with two- and four-wheel drive formats.

 

Combined cycle fuel economy for the duo is listed at 8.4- and 9.4 litres per 100km respectively.

 

The 2023 GWM Ute Cannon-CC measures up to the same width and height dimensions as its pick-up sibling, at 1934mm and 1886mm respectively, but its 101mm longer overall. The tray measures 1730mm in length, is 1855mm wide and 235mm deep.

 

GWM will offer the Cannon-CC in three variants, all available with “attractive ABN pricing” (see below).

 

Three paint colours are offered including Pearl White (NCO), Pittsburgh Silver ($595) and Slate Grey ($595).

 

For Cannon-CC 4x2 ($36,990 drive-away) and 4x4 ($39,990 drive-away) variants, the equipment list includes 18-inch alloy wheels, dusk-sensing LED head- and tail-lights, daytime running lights (DRLs), side steps, Comfort-Tek leather seats, air-conditioning, a 9.0-inch infotainment array with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, a 3.5-inch colour instrument cluster, various power outlets, keyless entry and ignition, paddle shifts, reversing sensors and camera, and passenger side (kerb) camera.

 

Safety features include seven airbags, hill-start control and hill-descent control, forward collision warning, AEB with pedestrian and cyclist detection, adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, overspeed warning and tyre pressure monitoring.

 

The flagship Cannon-CC L 4x4 ($43,490 drive-away) adds a chrome front grille, wing mirror caps and door handles, power adjustable electric folding wing mirrors with built-in indicator, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated front seats and powered driver’s seat adjustment, climate control, front parking sensors, an electrochromatic rear-view mirror and 360-degree camera system.

 

GWM Australia says first shipments of the Cannon-CC have begun to arrive in local dealerships and like their pick-up siblings are backed by the importer’s seven-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty, and five-year roadside assistance and capped-price servicing program.
