GWM CannonVSToyota Hilux

Chinese value pickup vs the long-standing export benchmark — price, payload and resale trade-offs.

The GWM Cannon (formerly sold as the Poer) and the Toyota Hilux compete for the same double-cab pickup buyer across Africa, the Middle East and Latin America, but they trade off differently.

FactorGWM CannonToyota Hilux
FOB price (reference)$15,354–$35,354Typically 20–35% higher FOB
Powertrain options2.0T petrol / 2.4T diesel / 3.0T V6Diesel-led, market dependent
Torque (2.4T diesel)480 N·mComparable, model-year dependent
Parts network maturityGrowing, concentrated in newer export corridorsDecades-deep in most African/Middle-East markets
Resale valueLower at this stageStrong, well-established

For fleet buyers prioritising lowest landed cost per unit and willing to build parts relationships as volume grows, the Cannon is the more price-competitive choice. For buyers prioritising long-term resale and an already-mature service network, the Hilux remains the safer default. View GWM Cannon details.
