The GWM Cannon Alpha PHEV has taken top honours as Best Electrified Ute in the inaugural 2025 CarExpert Choice Awards, standing out in a rapidly growing segment of electrified workhorses.

Delivering a combined 300kW and 750Nm, the Cannon Alpha PHEV pairs a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine with a powerful electric motor and a substantial 37.1kWh battery. It offers up to 115km of electric-only driving range (NEDC) and an impressive fuel consumption figure of just 1.7L/100km — all without compromising on serious 4WD credentials. These include front and rear locking differentials, a proper low-range four-wheel-drive system, and 3,500kg braked towing capacity.

The judges praised its balance of performance, innovation, and everyday usability. From smooth, near-silent electric driving to genuine off-road capability and SUV-like interior comfort, it demonstrates that going electric doesn’t mean giving up what Australians expect from their utes.

With premium features such as a panoramic sunroof, dual split tailgate, vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability, and front massaging seats*, the Cannon Alpha PHEV delivers a forward-thinking take on the dual-cab — making it a compelling choice for tradies, adventurers, and anyone wanting more from their next ute.
