HYBRID UTE tested!! GWM Cannon Alpha Ultra Hybrid 2024 review (inc off-road, fuel economy test)

This is a SIGNIFICANT moment for the ute market in Australia - the first hybrid pickup truck!

The GWM Cannon Alpha beats Toyota to the punch, and also becomes the first mainstream ute with a petrol-electric powertrain -- well ahead of the planned BYD Shark and Ford Ranger Plug-in Hybrid models which are due soon.

So is this ute the one to buy? Well, I've done a detailed review on the diesel version -- which is cheaper and arguably makes a lot more sense for a tradie ute buyer -- but this really is an important model for GWM as it is the 1st HEV pickup on the market.

In this review you'll find out all about the Cannon Alpha Ultra Hybrid ute, including the pricing specs and features, warranty cover, engine specs, towing and payload capacity, GCM and GVM considerations, and plenty more including a detailed interior breakdown and tub info. I even went off-road in it!!
