The GWM Vanta makes a move on the ute market

THE GWM UTE RANGE WELCOMES a new member with the addition of the stylish new Cannon Vanta.

Sitting at the head of the GWM Ute range, the Cannon Vanta adds a number of styling enhancements to make it stand out from the crowd.

The 18-inch alloy wheels now come finished in black as do the exterior mirrors and door handles while the signature GWM front grille is now also black creating a bold front look that means business.

In addition, a new black sports bar has been introduced which now extends further down the side of the rear tray to further enhance the tough new look of the Cannon Vanta.

Blacked-out badging completes the look.

Dark and moody

The Cannon Vanta is available in a selection of five exterior colours – Pearl White, Crystal Black, Blue Sapphire, Scarlet Red and Pittsburgh Silver.

With the exception of roof rails, the Cannon Vanta adopts all other features of the Cannon-X, on which it is based, including heated (front) leather seats, wireless phone charging, 360-degree camera, 7-inch colour instrument cluster, automatic anti-glare rear view mirror and three selectable power assist steering modes.

In keeping with the GWM Ute’s 5-star ANCAP rating the full array of available safety technology has been made standard on the Cannon Vanta. This includes Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) with pedestrian and bicycle detection, Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Lane Keep Assist (LKA), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Traffic Sign Recognition.

The Cannon Vanta is available now at $46,490 Driveaway and comes with a 7-year, unlimited km warranty, 5 years roadside assist and 5-years Capped Price Servicing.
