Lifestyle trucks, or so they're termed, have made owning a pick-up truck a really enticing and valid option among the sea of SUVs. They balance between style and actual off-road/load carrying substance, and the GWM Cannon is one of the better ones in our market today.
Made by Great Wall Motor - one of China's largest carmakers - the Cannon is one value-minded buyers should pay attention to. With provisional prices set at RM 127,800 (official prices to be announced soon), it's pretty well equipped to fight the stalwarts in its segment that are usually priced way higher, especially to get the same level of kit.

There's power; 163 PS/400 Nm comes from a 2.0-litre turbodiesel mill paired to a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission, there's tech; a digital instrument readout and a 9-inch infotainment with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay take centrestage, and there's comfort too, courtesy of ample room and leather seats for all.
Safety also sits right up there with the familiar names - Level 2 Autonomous driving assistance is equipped with the Cannon, and that means adaptive cruise control (ACC), autonomous emergency braking (AEB), lane-keeping assist (LKA), as well as blind-spot detection (BSD).
We've also got a first drive of sorts with the car a few months back, and the early impressions are promising.
