10 THINGS YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THE CHINESE GWM CANNON ALPHA PHEV UTE

EV Channels Review

John Cadogan provides an in-depth look at the GWM Cannon Alpha PHEV ute, focusing on its strengths. He highlights the vehicle's exceptional value for money, especially when compared to its competitors like the Ranger and Hilux, with pricing significantly lower for comparable features. The powertrain is lauded for its impressive 300kW/750Nm output, offering staggering acceleration and a unique multi-speed transmission that allows for true off-road capability with low range and diff locks, differentiating it from other PHEVs. Cadogan also praises the premium and feature-rich interior, comparing it favorably to European SUVs, and commends the excellent reversing and surround camera system. The innovative split-fold tailgate is another positive, offering practical access to the load space. While acknowledging potential drawbacks (detailed in a separate video), Cadogan concludes that the Cannon Alpha offers a compelling package of performance, off-road prowess, and value, making it a strong contender in the ute market.
