Welcome to the GWM Haval Cannon Ute Vs Toyota Hilux comparison. It is inevitable that we compare the Hilux against the Haval Cannon Ute. It is tough for use as after owning two Hiluxii that did were eventually replaced due to mileage rather than anything wrong represents the expected image of owing a Hilux. The Haval Cannon Ute does not have any sort of reputation to live up to except the rusting issue of course. So how do they compare?
GWM Haval Cannon Ute Vs Toyota Hilux exterior comparison: It needs to be said the the Hilux design is mostly it’s own design language. In comparison the Haval Cannon Ute is a combination of many different brands we’ve seen over the years but it is a decent looking car although a little dated. It is physically bigger than the Hilux if that is important to you.
GWM Haval Cannon Ute Vs Toyota Hilux interior comparison: Once again the interior of the Hilux is an individual design that is also recognisably a Hilux interior. While it stays true to it’s commercial origins and that most are used as actual commercial vehicles it feels solid and more than good enough for non-commercial buyers. It gets better the higher model grade you buy but it’s not a luxury car ambience. In comparison the Cannon Ute has moved towards non-commercial buyers as it’s interior does resemble a SUV in design and materials. It’s a nice an larger interior and a nice place to be in.
GWM Haval Cannon Ute Vs Toyota Hilux engine and technology comparison: There is nothing new or class leading about either vehicle. We know that Hilux engines and tech are durable and if something does go wrong there are plenty of solutions on offer. We know very little about the Cannon Ute engine to it’s detriment but its seems OK although underpowered compared to the Hilux or another other competitor brands in the class.
The winner of the GWM Haval Cannon Ute Vs Toyota Hilux comparison is neither. The reason why ‘neither’ is that the Hilux is expensive. There is also really no reason why it should be that expensive even taking into account inflation because it has been like that for the past 10 years. So when a new competitor comes along at $10000-20000 less does make you wonder if the Hilux is worth it. Clearly the low price of the Cannon Ute is deliberate but will rise quickly as it drops because that’s how the brand works Ie. price and numbers over branding. Yes, excessive stock in it’s Chinese home market and it’s ability to ignore market pricing means it can be called dumping but the ability to get rid of competition is detrimental in the long run. However a lot of people make purchasing decision based purely on purchase price especially in 2024.
