Absolute awesome review guys!! So happy I could help and thanks so much for the shoutout!!! Loved it!!! NOW EVERYONE GO BUY A BLOODY GWM Cannon BEAST! hahaha 🎉🎉
9:24 sunglasses holder is above the driver side window
After driving a Hilux for a few months for work, really makes me wonder why people don't buy more of these 😵💫
Hmm. I've had to tow a grand total of one. And it still drove on and off the truck. It was about 10,000km overdue for service. And a roadside assistance call on another, had to put it into manual dpf burn mode, turns out that owner regularly turned it off while doing the automatic regeneration cycles.
Glad to see you review a Chinese vehicle
Jesus Jim, how long is it gonna take to repair that poor old Pajero? 😂
It is good to see ReDriven review this ute. I have followed some Canon Youtube adventurers travelling around Oz, and the Canon owners FB page, so I have been interested in ReDriven opinion.
Firstly, GWM released a tune update for the 2.0 (just after Adam asked the community for feedback) which has made night and day difference to the driving experience (mainly the turbo lag and gear change issues Adam talks about) Have the XSR off road model. The thing is amazing and can take a beating. Bash plates, front/rear lockers, even a winch cradle from factory! And for emergency repairs in the bush, a few parts are interchangeable with the Tank models and even some of the front suspension components off a N70 Hilux (its a carbon copy of the hilux front end)
I’m Ute hunting now, GWM seem to be way ahead.
In South Africa, we got the GWM P-Series, in LS, LT and LTD models, the LTD were top spec AUS variants originally, which featured different wheels and a two tone paint job. Later LTD variants had aluminium bumpers which looked more offroady but weren't as durable. The 2025 update changed the P-series name to the P300 where as the Australian cannon alpha would take on the P500 designation. Both features the 2.4 diesel engines. Shared with the Tank 300
I’ve had one for four years absolutely solid reliable vehicle
Love the Cannon, bought my 1st in May 2021 (Cannon X), then traded it August 2025 for a new Cannon Vanta 2.4L. Both have been faultless.
Redriven is it true that Jim has a ‘Cannon’? According to his ex-girlfriend he does.
Awesome video and it can double that they're fantastic not just for the price, but in general. They're all over construction sites and I habe one too, all reports a generally very positive. A few issues in the video. 1. Sunglasses holder is above the driver's door 2. The warranty is 7yrs unlimited kms! 3. Only the first series has no central locking tub, 2023 onwards has locking tub. Great video love the channel mate 👍
5:40 you thought we missed it but we saw it. You got fooled by the left hand indicator. Good review. Good car.
My dealer on the central coast has definitely been inconsistent. They dont seem interested in the brand. I take mine to my own mechanic now.
Ahhhh the ChiLux....bought the 2026 2.4 a little over 2 months ago and already done 10k and first service. Been a pleasure thus far.
I really want to see a video on the Tank 300
9:42 GWM, who did you steal these seats off 😆
