    Cost of ownership

    What is the running and servicing costs of a GWM Ute?

    All GWM Ute’s need servicing every 12 Months months or 10,000km km, whichever comes first.

    How does the 2024 GWM Ute drive?

    Our expert take on GWM Ute drivability.

    Under the bonnet is a reworked 2.0-litre turbo-diesel produced and developed in-house. Its outputs are 120kW of power and 400Nm of torque – a little below core rivals bar the LDV T60.

    All versions come standard with an eight-speed automatic developed by ZF. There’s no manual option, but GWM now offers a choice of 4×2 and 4×4 models in the base Cannon.

    The mid-range L and X models are still 4×4-only.

    As is common for the ute class, the front and rear suspension make-up comprises double wishbones at the front and leaf springs at the back.

    2024 GWM Ute Warranty

    The Ute Cannon-X is covered by a seven-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty.

    Should you buy the 2024 GWM Ute

    Is this the right car for you? Out experts buy or not guide.

    All the good things about the lower-end Cannon range carry over here.

    It’s still a solid performer on and off the road, and still represents great value compared to a HiLux or Ranger. It’s not a class-leader in any particular area, but it doesn’t need to be with a sticker price around $40,000 drive-away.

    The addition of a five-star ANCAP safety rating hasn’t hurt its case, either.

    Should you bother with the Cannon-X? It’s not essential. The Cannon-L is already loaded with standard kit, and the extras on the X are nice to have rather than absolutely critical.

    Given value is one of the key draws of opting for a GWM, we’d be saving the extra $3000 and sticking with the mid-range model.
