I did have a 2022 GWM Cannon 4x2 I now have a 2023 GWM Cannon X. In which time I have learned by shifting the control from Normal or Eco to Sport (its fast) solves the lag when pulling into traffic. I find I can flick through the controls while on the open road with ease for a quick burst when over taking or drop to normal for steep gradients. Basically I manipulate the gear changing as if I were driving a manual .
Best thing I ever did to my D5 Delica 2.4L Diesel. I took it back to the company that put it in, the next day and told the guy I watched his offsider fit the TC but I didn't notice the other two guys pull the 4 cylinder out and drop in the V8🤣. Thanks for sharing this as i am just about to buy an X which has a TC fitted so it should already go like the powers.
Here’s a Quick tip put your Cannon in Sports mode when you use cruise control it will sort the gearshifts out so much better on the freeway. In standard mode it won’t shift down when coming to a hill and it’s frustrating But keep it in Sport and it’s bloody fantastic works perfectly and there’s no difference in fuel consumption. Hope this one helps
You can tell the difference with them, my wifes car isuzu mux has terrible throttle lag, we got a hikeit throttle controller its a completely different car.... glad its made the xsr better
I have a 2021 H6 Ultra, and the throttle lag is the same for this model. It uses the 7 speed from ZF. Facebook groups say that the throttle controller is the immediate fixfor it. I personally don't care much as the missus drives it 90% of the time, while I ride my motorcycles and thrash my little 1998 Grand Vitara while on fishing trips (bought it for $4k so I literally dont care if I write it off). I'm thinking of getting either the Cannon X or XSR when my fishing rig does eventually die, so I'll get a throttle controller for it when I make the purchase.
Hi mate, great info and love your honesty in your vids. Did the throttle controller help with any other issues that you mentioned in your previous "WORST" video?
savage tech just released one, about to get my xsr so will see. I do tend to put my foot all the way down when the light hit green on any car but will see how the xsr does and if i should get it.
…does she over-rev in beast mode?…we had the idrive TC installed on our cannon & I prefer to use sport mode only because she over-revs too much with TC on
@@AussieDadzso you get sports mode through the throttle controller? Looking at getting an xsr 2023 model. Idc about cruise control I've never used it and I used to DIDO 11 hours upto north qld from brissy to the mines. Would getting it tuned low-key without gwm knowing void the warranty? Heard good things about the cannon as I was about to go with the t60 max luxe. Now I'm stuck on the fence, wouldn't mind the cannon and throwing some money at it to up the power and then lift kit with bigger/better tyres, then if I'm being picky( try and ceramic coat an good buff on paint to bring a better finish, or a aftermarket bar, wheel guard flares to something more tuff, but that's a big reach in saying that) Would honestly want to do all the intercooler piping and piping going to compressor housing on the turbo. Would only really change the snorkel if it didn't keep up with the mods or could sound alot better with an aftermarket snorkel. Are the interiors the same when it comes to normal cannon x vs xsr? Or is the xsr nicer inside? Cheers mate for your time if you respond, i kmow theres alot of shit there in this comment 😂😂🤙🏼
@dylankelly5230 hey mate, look all in all the xsr is an awesome car. I wouldn't touch the Luxe thats a whole other episode lol. Mate the xsr is amazing. Paint work, car features etc. The interiors are essentially the same mate, unless you buy the cheapest one, which is slightly differant. hard to beat for the money BUT some little things had me depart eith the car. 1 the cruise issue for the ks I do. 2 the centre console tech would go crazy every other day. Like literally the phone would start ringing although no phone was actually ringing. It was the phone noise coming through speakers. So I would stop the car turn it off etc, but nothing I did stopped the extremely loud ghost calling through the speakers. It was Insane. I would disconnect battery...just nuts. Gwm said they can't fix those issues, so I had to grin and bare it or get rid of it. Due to the frequency of the ghost calling, I had to trade it. Would I buy it again......hmmmm mate it depends. I would if I needed a ute and for whatever reason I didn't want to spend much BUT if the coin allows for it, I'd buy a different make which is what I'm in process of doing now. Soz couldn't be more help
No as the change is before the ecu and at the throttle. It doesn't change the mechanics of your vehicle at all, it just takes some lag out of the throttle. Most gmw suppliers will allow you to option this through their after market teams prior to you collecting the vehicle. Hope this helps
Not at all mate as it's a superficial mod at best which occurs before the ecu. All it does is remove some of the throttle lag, that's all. It removes in my opinion a solid second or 2, and is worth every penny.
@@AussieDadz ah ok cheers mate. Got an LDV van for work and it’s exactly the same, roundabouts can genuinely be sketchy sometimes. Good to know there’s a solution without voiding warranty if I get the GWM!
Mate the gwm is a solid car tbh. Yes slight lag needs Improving and tbh you will never get rid of all the lag, but you can address the delay component caused by the throttle, by getting the throttle controller. Honest, it takes 10 min to install, makes a world of difference and only costs approx 200 bucks ish......I drove the xr6 turbo for work as a copper back in 2011, and they had a 1sec lag, and this is ford that have been going at it for donkeys, so im certain gwm will find the Improvement in the future, but at this stage, for the current models available, I'd say all you need is that throttle controller. But that's just my honest opinion mate. The bigger ticket issue if you do lots of ks is that the cruise control in the xsr is useless, so as long as your grabbing a variant below that spec, you'll be laughing while your saving a tonne!!!!
@@AussieDadz yep na that’s good to hear that! I use cruise control literally everyday so that is a bit of a kicker tbh. The models below the XSR like the Vanta don’t have better cruise control do they though? It’s the only thing which makes me lean towards an LDV T-60 after watching your video
@benwarnock The vanta has sports mode as.does all the models below the xsr, and all models below the xsr have less weight, so the cruise on them actually works alot better for sure. Best of luck with the decision, mate. Either way, you'll save a tonne compared to the competitor prices and with a 7yr warranty.....win win. Cheers bud.
Hi there. Joondalup boy here. Which cannon would you recommend?? X vanta or L? Best value? And will get a throttle controller in wangara place you mentioned when I get one. Any other Ute you would get instead of this? I am deciding between this and the Musso. Paul
Mirror effect that happens on the phone mate when you use selfie mode. Im sure there's a way I can fix it somehow on the settings but I've no clue how to do it. Yeah I'm def in Perth wa, aussie all the way. Cheers mate
Mate, I have the phone in selfie mode and haven't changed the settings on the camera which corrects the mirror effect in the video. Your welcome to give wanneroo gmw a call and ask John, if Shannon from aussie dadz, purchased the vehicle there👍 best of luck
No, they say on the description they don't. Just unplug it before a claim if you are worried about that but mines been mint since new. I doubt you will ever need to claim on the warranty

Mate the xsr doesn't have sports mode ergo the issue. Cheers anyway
Awesome review cobba. You just got yourself a new subscriber. Just wondering what model throttle controller did you install. Thanks in advance.

Bloody oath mate world of difference

thats great news about the lag fix anymore news on the cruise control whats the dealer say can it be fixed
Mate just added a new vid. Not good news 😔
Looking at buying a cannon XSR, now with the throlle issues gone and lag.
Is it the cruze controller which is the biggest issue?
Hi .I need the information
Where can buy
Thanks
I brought mine feom opposite lock in wangara mate and they fitted for free. Great bunch. If your not in Perth, then try any 4wd shop
What brand and model controller is it..
…does she over-rev in beast mode?…we had the idrive TC installed on our cannon & I prefer to use sport mode only because she over-revs too much with TC on
Mate yeah it did over rev hard in beast mode so I used sport aswell bud.

@@AussieDadz thanks for the reply mate, what did you end up getting?
@dylankelly5230 holding out a few more months for a ranger either raptor or wildtrack. I'll make some vidz once I've sorted out a new rig!!!!
