Great Wall Cannon: pickups, engines and what to know before buying
Great Wall Cannon — the double-cab pickup launched in 2019, known as Poer in China. It's designed for both work and daily use. We look at what sets the Cannon apart, its engines, and what you need to know before buying.
Cannon in brief
Cannon — a modern double-cab pickup with a ladder-frame construction, open cargo bed, and four-door cab. It's offered as a versatile vehicle for both work and leisure.
In some markets, this model is sold as the Cannon or Ute, while in China, it's known as the Poer. It's not officially sold in Lithuania, so you'll only find the occasional imported example.
Versions and updates
The Cannon was designed as Great Wall's next-generation pickup. It's available in several versions, from basic workhorses to more equipped models with greater comfort.
The supply of used Cannon pickups in Lithuania is limited, so many examples are imported from other countries and may vary in equipment and headlights.
Engines and transmissions
The Cannon is equipped with 2.0-litre turbo engines — a diesel (around 160 hp) and a petrol. The transmission is an 8-speed automatic, with rear-wheel drive or optional four-wheel drive.
Exact power figures and engine codes vary by market and year, so refer to the specific vehicle's documentation.
What to check when buying a used Cannon
First things first — paperwork and registration: is the car legally registered in Europe and compliant with EU standards? Pickups have separate tax and category issues, so check those in advance.
Inspect the frame, cargo bed, suspension, and turbocharger; check the transmission operation and all-wheel drive engagement. Parts and service might be scarce in Lithuania.
Trim levels
Cannon trim names vary across markets; we'll describe them generally.
