Power for the Malaysian-spec is expected to be derived from a turbodiesel 2.0-litre engine that does 163 PS and 400 Nm, mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission, the latter is sourced from ZF.

Two units of the GWM Cannon are on display, with varying equipment. The white Cannon is presumably the entry-level model, seeing that it gets halogen projector headlights, 17-inch dark silver alloy wheels, bulb-type tail lights, and analog instrument cluster.

When the GWM Cannon goes on sale in Malaysia later this year, it will be yet another Chinese pick-up truck contender, joining the likes of the Peugeot Landtrek, Maxus T70, and JMC Vigus Pro. Should the Mitsubishi Triton, Toyota Hilux, and Isuzu D-Max be worried?
