    A good friend of mine ordered one of these but after driving went and purchased the cannon x, he is very happy with it and does a lot of towing
    Keep up the good work, your reviews are very good👍

    Considering even in expensive mainstream utes, lifestyle users will upgrade the tyres and suspension almost straight away, the ride and tyre issues can be tailored to the user and the cost still be below the purchase price of a base mainstream.

    I think your review is pretty non-biased. Also as well as other of your videos, always have an open view. Gives both pros and cons in a neutral non exaggeration way, unlike other auto reviewers. I Like it.

    it is coil rear suspension in China, which feels as comfort as a Tank 500…but GWM changes to leaf springs to get 3.5T towing rating for Australia…

    Great review, I love it! I think the Ultra Diesel would be my pick, but the Hybrid is somewhat tempting too for the power alone (despite the issues you mentioned in your other review). Would have to test both and see which is most liveable.

    When you review these vehicles, what tyre pressure do you set? Just so all the comparisons between vehicles are consistent. I’ve recently collected an empty ute from a dealer and it rode like crap and was also losing traction too much. A quick stop at a servo…they’d set it to 45psi. I changed to 34psi and it made a WORLD of difference to how rough it felt.

    i still prefer the name King Kong Cannon 😊. Still this is a unit,the comprables are spot on ,anyone looking for something of this size in this price range would also look at something like a Musso. I like that the isofix is where it is which is just the best when fitting in child seats in a ute(also loving all those storage compartments in the back,makes a very good case for being family friendly). Finally I dont see this ute not getting 5 stars from ANCAP and the car its based on(Tank 500) has a 5 start rating,for what thats worth these days.

      Not getting V6 has NOTHING to do with Government policies. How do we know this? Because Nissan will be bringing into Australia the new Patrol with a twin turbo V6. Arriving 2026/27...! If Nissan can do it, so could GWM if they wanted to. Simple as that. The only ones to blame if we don't get the V6 is GWM themselves.
      If they did bring in the V6, I would go and buy one in a heartbeat.

    Well given the Ranger and the Amarok are pretty much engineering time bombs... gonna say the chinese ute is far and away more likely to still be running in 10 years. Ford and VW reliability is just there long term anymore, nor has it for a decade. I see great wall utes from 15 years ago still running with 300km on the clock; the only rangers and amaroks whom get that are fleet buys that rack up those miles in a few years before time becomes a factor and are chucked.

    Just saw the news today. GWM starts to fit this 2.4 diesel into normal canon(not alpha) for off-road purpose. But I really am interested in this new haval H9, hopefully by the time I went back to China next month, I can test drive the new diesel H9. if they not going to bring the diesel h9 to Australia, then I’m not going to buy the potty 2L petrol version.

    @bernardpeel7133 7 месяцев назад

    Great review, as always.
    The one question i was hoping might be answered directly is whether you see enough value to jump from spending, say, the mid forty thousands on Cannon X..to potentially in the low sixty thousands for an Alpha. Or whether the Alpha just points to the X being really good value for what it is. Keen to know how your spending decision would play out..

    • @therightcar
      @therightcar  7 месяцев назад

      The practicality is not THAT much better for the Alpha, despite it being much nicer inside and with more street presence.
      If budget is the most important thing, the Cannon X is the go. It ticks the boxes well enough for the money.
