GWM King Kong Cannon

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.

The Hi4-T is GWM's off-road-oriented plug-in hybrid architecture. It pairs a 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine with an electric motor and a battery pack in a series-parallel layout, routing power through a low-range transfer case so the hybrid system still delivers genuine off-road capability — not just on-road efficiency.

How Hi4-T works

• Combined output: roughly 300 kW and 750 N·m across the petrol engine and electric motor.
• Low-range 4WD: the electric motor works with a mechanical low-range box, preserving rock-crawling and hill-descent behaviour.
• Electric-only: short pure-electric running for town and crawl situations.

The Tank 500 we currently list is petrol — not the hybrid

The Tank 500 unit we actually list is the 3.0T V6 petrol variant at $54,615–$55,846 FOB — a large-capacity petrol 4x4, not the hybrid. Its full factory specification:

• Engine: 3.0-litre turbocharged petrol V6 (E30Z) with a 48V mild-hybrid assist.
• Power / torque: 265 kW / 360 hp, with 500 N·m.
• Transmission: 9-speed automatic.
• Drivetrain: 4x4 with a two-speed transfer case and front, centre and rear locking differentials.
• Ground clearance: 224 mm; approach/departure angles 29.6°/24°.
• Body: body-on-frame, 5-door, 5-seat SUV.

The smaller, diesel-capable sibling

If you want a Tank at a lower price point with a diesel option, the Tank 300 is the alternative: 2.0T petrol (167 kW / 227 hp, 387 N·m) or a 2.4T diesel (135 kW, 480 N·m), 8- or 9-speed automatic, part-time 4x4 with an electronic rear diff lock, 224 mm clearance and 700 mm wading depth, at $27,750–$33,500.

Why buyers ask about Hi4-T

The hybrid matters most in markets with fuel-vehicle import sensitivity — Ethiopia's 2024 ICE restriction is the obvious example, where a plug-in hybrid can clear where a pure-ICE vehicle may not. If you need the Hi4-T hybrid specifically, tell us your destination and target spec and we will confirm availability and a sourced price.

Our lineup splits into two categories — pickups and 4x4 SUVs — and the practical difference is what each body is built to carry, not just looks. Pickups are load-first with an open bed; 4x4 SUVs are passenger-first with an enclosed, off-road-capable cabin.

Pickups: load-first, open bed

• Open cargo bed carries loose, bulky or tall loads that won't fit in a cabin.
• Payload-first chassis tuned for carrying weight over long distances.
• Real examples from our line:

4x4 SUVs: passenger-first, enclosed

• Enclosed cabin with rear seats for passengers, security and all-weather comfort.
• Body-on-frame + locking diffs + low range on our off-road models for rough terrain.

We publish price ranges rather than a single fixed price because a vehicle's final FOB price varies by trim, powertrain, options and current factory/export pricing — and because hiding that spread behind one number would mislead you.

What drives the range

• Trim level: base work-spec versus premium trim change the price meaningfully.
• Powertrain: a 2.0T petrol and a 2.4T diesel or 3.0T V6 in the same model sit at very different price points.
• Drive configuration: 4x2 versus 4x4 changes the chassis price.
• Live export pricing: factory and export pricing moves week to week; a range stays honest as the market shifts.

Real examples of why a single number won't work

Notice the Tank 500 has a narrow range precisely because we list one specific configuration, while the Cannon has a wide range because it spans three powertrains. The width of the range is itself useful signal about how many configurations a model covers.

How to get your exact number

The range is the headline; your quote is the specific number. Tell us the model, powertrain, drive configuration and quantity, and we return a fixed FOB price for that exact configuration — with the full landed-cost breakdown for your destination.

Send your target spec via the contact form or WhatsApp and we will lock the number for you.

Yes — volume discounts apply, and most of our vehicles carry a tiered MOQ (minimum order quantity) structure that lowers the unit FOB price as your order size grows. Here is the real tiering on several of our current models, so you can see the actual per-unit savings.

Real MOQ tiers (current listings)

How the tiers work

• 1 unit: list FOB price; freight is the biggest per-unit cost.
• 5–9 units: discounted unit price; freight amortises across units.
• 20+ units: best unit price + lowest per-unit freight, because a full container is the cheapest way to move vehicles.

Why freight rewards larger orders

A single RoRo slot costs more per vehicle than a shared or full container. Consolidating several units into one container — typically three to four pickups — cuts the freight portion of each unit's landed cost sharply, which is where the real bulk saving sits. On a 20+ unit order the savings compound twice: a lower unit FOB and a lower per-unit freight.

How to see your tier

Each vehicle page lists its MOQ tiers. When you request a quote, tell us the quantity and destination and we will return the tiered unit price plus the consolidated freight for that volume. For a concrete starting point, open GWM Cannon or JAC T9 and check the listed tiers.

FOB prices for Chinese pickup trucks from RuggedRides Export depend on the model, trim, and whether you choose new factory-direct or used LHD-evergreen units. With 98 models in stock across brands like GWM, JAC, Foton, and Zhengzhou Nissan, prices typically range from $8,000 for used base models to $25,000+ for new top-spec 4x4s. We do not publish a single flat FOB price because customization (e.g., AC, rear diff lock, or bed liners) affects cost.
