GWM Philippines recently hosted a dynamic test drive event highlighting the capabilities and standout features of the new GWM Cannon, simulating real-world driving conditions.
Attended by members of the motoring media and content creators, participants were able to test the Cannon under various driving conditions — from performance runs to technical challenges — which showcased the full capabilities of its upgraded engine and Level 2 Advanced Driver Assist System (ADAS). These features were put through their paces, reinforcing how the Cannon merges power, precision, and smart safety in a commanding yet refined package.
“The GWM Cannon represents the next evolution of pickups in our market — capable, refined, and packed with features that today’s drivers value,” said Mr. Dax Avenido, Brand Head and Marketing Director of GWM Philippines. “This event allowed our guests to experience that firsthand, and to see just how much engineering and innovation went into this vehicle.”
The event comes as GWM Philippines continues to gain momentum in the local automotive scene. From April to June, the brand overshot its sales targets, achieving 124% of its goals in April and sustaining a strong average growth rate in the second quarter at 39%. This solid second-quarter performance reflects growing market confidence in GWM’s offerings, particularly with the Cannon leading the way.
Available in 4×4 configurations, the GWM Cannon is built for versatility — delivering the toughness of a workhorse with the comfort and tech of a modern-day daily driver. With advanced safety systems, elevated styling, and a performance-driven engine upgrade, the Cannon is poised to make a strong impact in the highly competitive pickup segment.
As the brand moves into the second half of 2025, GWM Philippines is set to expand its footprint through new product rollouts and nationwide activations, with the Cannon playing a central role in driving growth and customer engagement.
