Engine
Under the hood, the POER300 features GWM’s 2.4-liter turbodiesel engine, delivering 183 hp and 480 Nm of torque. Paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and 4×4 low-range all-wheel-drive system, the model promises solid performance both on and off-road. Combined fuel economy is rated at 32.7 mpg.
Designed for heavy-duty work, the pickup offers a towing capacity of up to 3,500 kg and a payload of 1,000 kg, making it ideal for farmers, contractors, and commercial users across the UK.
Modern design and tech-filled interior
The POER300 impresses with its bold appearance, featuring an aggressive front, roof rails, integrated side steps, and embossed “GWM” lettering on the tailgate. Inside, highlights include premium materials, a streamlined center console, and a 12.3” infotainment touchscreen compatible with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There’s also a 7” digital driver display and a wireless smartphone charger.
Geared toward off-road adventures, the pickup offers multiple off-road driving modes (Normal, Eco, Sport, Snow, Mud, Sand), electronic rear differential lock, 230 mm of ground clearance, and approach and departure angles of 27° and 25°, respectively.
Three trims for different needs
GWM UK will offer the POER300 in three trim levels (subject to final confirmation):
- Lux: 18” alloy wheels, synthetic leather seats, keyless entry, and rear parking sensors.
- Ultra: ventilated and heated seats, ambient lighting, sunroof, tinted windows, 360° camera, and more.
- Vanta: blacked-out exterior finish, black wheels and wheel arches.
All versions will come with a 5-year or 125,000-mile warranty and will be available across the brand’s UK dealer network.
According to Toby Marshall, Managing Director of GWM UK, “with the POER300, we are delivering exceptional utility, power, and technology at an extremely competitive price. We believe this model will win over entrepreneurs, rural residents, and professionals who need a true work partner.”
In Australia, where the model is known as the Cannon Ute, it already ranks among the top ten best-selling pickups, earning a reputation for its durability and great value for money.
