GWM Philippines proudly unveils the New GWM Cannon at the 2025 Manila International Auto Show (MIAS), introducing a stronger, smarter, and more capable version of the brand’s flagship pickup. Building on GWM’s legacy as the No. 1 Pickup Truck brand in China, with an impressive 50% market share, the New GWM Cannon is poised to set a new standard for pickups in the Philippine market.
Designed to meet the evolving demands of Filipino motorists, the New GWM Cannon features an upgraded 2.4-liter turbo diesel engine paired with a refined 9-speed automatic transmission. With a 13% increase in power (now at 181 hp) and 20% more torque (480 Nm), drivers can expect smoother acceleration, enhanced towing capability, and more responsive handling. Fuel efficiency has been optimized as well, with a 10% improvement in consumption, making it an ideal choice for both work and leisure.
Among its advanced features is the Torque On Demand (TOD) Intelligent Permanent 4×4 System, which provides maximum traction across various terrains. The vehicle’s high-strength steel frame ensures structural durability and safety. With a focus on family well-being, the New GWM Cannon proudly carries a 5-star ANCAP safety rating, making it one of the safest pickups in its class—a smart choice for Filipino families and business owners alike.
Initially available in 2 variants and with all the significant enhancements, GWM Philippines is retaining the price range from the previous lineup delivering greater value to customers. The New GWM Cannon LUX 4X4 variant will retail at PHP 1.348 million, while the top-of-the-line New GWM Cannon SLUX 4×4 variant is priced at PHP 1.498 million—a strategic move that underscores GWM’s commitment to providing premium technology at accessible pricing.
With its all-new interior design, the New GWM Cannon comes equipped with voice control, wireless CarPlay, Android Auto, and seat ventilation for added comfort.
The New GWM Cannon will also be available in the same popular color options: Atlantis Blue, Pittsburgh Silver, Scarlet Red, Iceberg White, and Midnight Black.
As the only Chinese pickup truck brand in the Philippines offering a 7-year warranty, GWM continues to elevate customer confidence, service assurance, and product durability.
In celebration of the launch, GWM Philippines is offering an exclusive reward to the first 100 customers who make a reservation starting at the Manila International Auto Show: a FREE 5-Year Periodic Maintenance Service (PMS) package, ensuring worry-free ownership and exceptional value. Unit releases are scheduled to begin in June, allowing early buyers to be among the first to drive the enhanced GWM Cannon on Philippine roads.
“Filipino consumers deserve vehicles that offer outstanding performance, comfort, and long-term reliability
at a very competitive price tag,” said Mr Dax Avenido, Brand Head and Marketing Director of GWM
Philippines. “The New GWM Cannon is a reflection of our promise to deliver global innovation tailored for
the needs of the local market.”
The New GWM Cannon is available for viewing and test drives at the GWM Philippines booth at the 2025 Manila International Auto Show, alongside other vehicles from the brand’s expanding portfolio.
