GWM Cannon Alpha review

AutoExec Summary
The GWM Cannon Alpha is a groundbreaking hybrid ute that promises to change the pick-up class. It features a turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine with hybrid assistance, offering V8-level power. The ute incorporates luxury car technology, including camera-based see-through bonnet tech and voice-activated commands. The extensive equipment list includes a head-up display, panoramic sunroof, and wireless smartphone mirroring. Priced at $64,990 drive-away, it offers a 7-year warranty and 3500kg towing capacity. However, the ute’s high fuel consumption, inconsistent power delivery, and nagging driver monitoring system detract from its appeal. Despite its flaws, the GWM Cannon Alpha is Australia’s first hybrid ute with potential for improvement.
