BYD SHARK VS GWM CANNON ALPHA PHEV: ULTIMATE OFF-ROAD AND TOWING COMPARISON REVIEW!

EV Channels Review

The BYD Shark and GWM Cannon Alpha PHEV are compared in a rigorous off-road and towing test. While both offer significant value for their price point, the GWM Cannon Alpha emerges as the superior vehicle, particularly for those needing robust towing and off-road capabilities. The Cannon Alpha excels with its front and rear diff locks, low-range transfer case, and a more powerful 2.0L engine, making it a true all-rounder. The BYD Shark, despite its impressive acceleration and premium interior feel, struggles significantly in off-road scenarios due to a lack of reduction gears and differential locks. Its towing performance, especially when the battery is depleted, is also a concern, though software updates have improved its usability. The reviewer concludes that the Cannon Alpha is the better choice for demanding tasks, while the Shark is more suited for city driving and lighter use, with potential for improvement if BYD addresses its hardware limitations.
