Is the GWM Poer available in diesel or only petrol?

The GWM Poer — sold internationally as the GWM Cannon — is available in both petrol and diesel, not one or the other. Our current Cannon lineup spans three combustion powertrains plus hybrid and EV variants, so the right question is which engine best fits your duty cycle and destination.

The three Cannon combustion powertrains

Diesel is the default for our export buyers

The dedicated Cannon 2.4T 4x4 Diesel is our flagship pickup for African and Middle-East fleet work. Its real, factory-listed specification is worth knowing when you compare:

• Engine: 2.4-litre turbocharged diesel inline-four.
• Power / torque: 135 kW, with 480 N·m of torque — strong low-end pull for laden driving.
• Transmission: 9-speed automatic.
• Drivetrain: 4x4 with an electronic rear differential lock.
• Wading depth: 800 mm — genuinely useful on unpaved, flooded or monsoon-season routes.
• Towing: 3,500 kg (braked).
• Safety & warranty: 5-star ANCAP rating and a 7-year unlimited-kilometre manufacturer warranty.
• Wheels: 18-inch alloy with a full-size spare.

The petrol and premium ends of the range

• 2.0T petrol suits lighter usage and markets where petrol is cheaper or more available; the base GWM Cannon starts around $15,354.
• 3.0T V6 (in the Cannon Alpha) is the choice when you need the strongest towing and highway performance, up to roughly $46,431.
• Hybrid / EV: the Cannon Alpha PHEV and Cannon EV extend the range for markets with fuel-vehicle import sensitivity.
