Welcome to the GWM Haval Cannon Ute Vs SAIC LDV T60 comparison for 2024. This is the comparison of the cheapest 4×4 utes in Australia that you have been waiting for…or maybe not. Natural competitors in their home market of China  and various export markets. The numbers are small but at these prices both could be enticing to the financially challenged and those who only buy the cheapest or even those who are happy to take an chance on unknown or supported brands.

GWM Haval Cannon Ute Vs SAIC LDV T60 exterior comparison: The T60 has older styling language typical of the ute class. It has squared off panels and a blocky look of a generic commercial vehicle from 20 years ago. The last update saw a even more squared off front end. The higher the model grade the more squared it gets. The Haval Cannon Ute exterior is a more updated design with curves from 10 years ago! Both are quite large but the LDV T60 has the Mega Tub variant which is even bigger than the Cannon Ute.

GWM Haval Cannon Ute Vs SAIC LDV T60 interior comparison: The LDV T60 interior is like its exterior and the basics look and feels a little old. It harks back to the design over 20 years old. That said the interior has just been updated and by all accounts looks much better. The Haval Cannon Ute interior has also just received an updated interior and more in line with current SUV interiors. However the materials haven’t improve just redesigned. Both are nice enough for the price though.

GWM Haval Cannon Ute Vs SAIC LDV T60 engine and technology comparison: The LDV T60 thankfully has something interesting to write about in the tech department. It has a twin turbo charged diesel engine and class average power. Of note is the Millennial like model grade names – To60 Max, T60 Max Pro, T60 Max Pro Luxe, Max Luxe Mega Tub and Max Plus Mega Tub. The Cannon Ute is underpowered compared to the T60 regardless of model grade. All the other tech and safety are pretty much equal dependent on model grades between the two brands. However the engines and tech have dubious reliability.

The winner of the GWM Haval Cannon Ute Vs SAIC LDV T60 comparison is the LDV T60. Being a comparison against the cheapest 4×4 dual cab utes in Australia the winner is the LDV T60 series. The simple reasons why it wins is due to the engine, it has got more power than Cannon Ute and it is even bigger if you buy the Max Plus Mega Tub version. Of course if you manage get one that comes without rust or any other multitude of small problems or drastic failures.
