As the second step on the GWM Cannon ute ladder, the Ultra represents the best value of the line-up.
With a starting price of $43,490, it adds to the base-model’s already good level of kit with an electric sunroof, leather-accented seating, heated and ventilated front seats, ambient lighting and tinted windows.
As with the other Cannon model grades, the Ultra features permanent four-wheel drive and the now familiar dual-cab ute layout. The vehicle uses body-on-frame construction in deference to its genuine off-road abilities.
Mechanically, the Ultra uses the same 2.4-litre 135kW/480Nm turbo–diesel engine as the rest of the range, and pairs that with a nine-speed automatic transmission, high and low gear ratios and a locking rear differential.
The switch to the new engine has actually seen fuel consumption fall; down from 9.4 litres per 100km to 8.4 which should give a comfortable range of at least 750km.
Safety levels are high with the latest driver aids including auto emergency braking (AEB), rear-cross traffic assist and lots more. Passive safety includes seven airbags including a centre airbag.
The Cannon Ultra can tow 3.5 tonnes on a braked trailer.

Morley’s attentions turned to cars and motoring fairly early on in his life. The realisation that the most complex motor vehicle was easier to both understand and control than the simplest human-being, set his career in motion. Growing up in the country gave the young Morley a form of motoring freedom unmatched these days, as well as many trees to dodge. With a background in newspapers, the move to motoring journalism was no less logical than Clive Palmer’s move into politics, and at times, at least as funny.
