1 GWM Cannon Alpha Demo & Near New Car For Sale in Western NSW, New South Wales

Australia's second plug-in hybrid ute goes about things in a different way, and brings a stronger punch to the core responsibilities of the segment. But, such capability brings compromises elsewhere.

It's a new dawn for the four-wheel-drive ute as it steps into an increasingly electrified future. Does this new breed dominate diesel?

Is the BYD Shark still the apex predator of plug-in hybrid utes? Or is the GWM now the Alpha dog in the pack? We pin them head-to-head.

A software update for the Cannon Alpha's driver assist tech transforms the way this luxe ute behaves on-road.

GWM's new 3.0-litre turbo-diesel engine, coming to the Tank 500 and Cannon Alpha this year, has commenced testing in Australia.

BYD Shark 6 ute and other new plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) entrants drove a 130.9 per cent sales increase in Australia in 2025.

The fault could cause reduced vehicle performance and affect the cooling operation of its hybrid system.

Despite 85 per cent of sales being the PHEV last month, the GWM Cannon Alpha diesel will remain available in Australia.
