Practically all automotive shows have been put on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic – all but the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show, which is taking place these days and has hosted a number of debuts.
One of the automakers that have already caught our attention is Great Wall thanks to their Porsche-looking ORA Lightning Cat electric vehicle, but it wasn’t their only premiere, as they have also brought the Truck X Cannon to the show.

Said to have been built around the company’s latest version of their off-road platform, it features double wishbone suspension on both axles that can be upgraded to an optional air suspension. As we can see in the images, it has underbody protection, black beefy bumpers and plastic cladding on the lower parts of the body. It also has a flashy grille with a giant logo in the middle, squared headlamps, a bulky hood, vertical taillights with a light strip on the upper part of the tailgate, a bed cover and chunky rubber from BFGoodrich wrapped around the multi-spoke wheels.
The new double cab pickup truck is reportedly powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 engine coupled to a nine-speed automatic transmission with 4H mode. Chinese media also state that Great Wall will launch an optional hybrid powertrain for the Truck X Cannon in the near future, with an electric motor integrated into the transmission.
