Meeting the expectations of UK pick-up users, the POER300 has a braked towing capacity of 3,500kg and can carry a payload of 1,000kg, ensuring the vehicle is capable of towing livestock trailers, generators, heavy equipment or a caravan. These attributes ensure the POER300 can be considered a true workhorse and suitable for business users and those working in the agricultural industry.
In Australia, the POER300, known in some global markets as the Cannon Ute, has established itself amongst its well-known and established rivals from Europe and Japan in a short space of time. The vehicle consistently ranks in the top 10 best-selling pickups and has quickly gained a reputation amongst owners for its overall performance and value for money.
Design & Capability
The GWM POER300 features a bold exterior design with sharp front fascia styling, side-integrated steps, roof rails, and bold embossed “GWM” badging on the tailgate. Inside, the cabin you are met with premium soft-touch materials, a simplified console layout, and a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This sits alongside a 7.0-inch digital driver's display and wireless charging area for a mobile device.
The vehicle offers multiple intelligent all-terrain modes (Normal, Eco, Sport, Snow, Mud, Sand), and an electronically activated rear differential lock (standard), for enhanced off-road capability. The GWM POER300 will have an off-road approach angle of 27°, departure angle of 25°, and an impressive 230mm ground clearance, which, together with the all-terrain technology, ensures the pick-up has exceptional off-road capability.
