Great Wall Motors' highly anticipated Shanhai Cannon Hi4-T has officially been launched recently, offering three configurations with an official guide price starting at 226,800 yuan. The new vehicle measures 5440/1991/1945mm in length, width, and height respectively, with a wheelbase of 3350mm and a cargo box size of 1500×1520×500mm. It is positioned as a plug-in hybrid pickup truck with hardcore off-road capabilities.
In terms of exterior design, the Shanhai Cannon Hi4-T adopts a rather rugged style. The front face features a polygonal air intake grille with a horizontal bar structure inside. The blackened headlight clusters are connected to the grille and integrate matrix LED light sources. The lower surround uses thick black trim panels, with a winch and tow hook integrated in the center. The right A-pillar is equipped with a snorkel, providing a maximum wading depth of 900mm.
The side profile features a standard double-cab pickup shape with a flat roofline and roof rails. The贯穿-style waistline adds layering, while the wheel arches and side skirts both use thick black protective panels. The wheels feature a two-tone multi-spoke design. At the rear, the vertically arranged blackened taillights have a strong three-dimensional effect. The lower surround is also made of thick black trim panels, integrating fog lights and reserving space for a tow hook, with the exhaust pipe adopting a hidden design.
The interior continues Great Wall's family design, equipped with a three-spoke multi-function steering wheel, a fully digital instrument cluster, a floating central control screen, and an electronic gear shifter. A grab handle is set in front of the passenger seat, emphasizing the vehicle's hardcore character.
The Shanhai Cannon Hi4-T is powered by a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 2.0T engine and an electric motor, with a combined maximum system power of 300kW and a combined peak torque of 750N·m, paired with a 9AT transmission. Its battery pack capacity is 37.1kWh, providing an NEDC pure electric range of up to 115 kilometers and a combined range exceeding 1000 kilometers, and it supports 50kW fast charging. The equipped mechanical four-wheel-drive system with three differential locks supports multiple driving modes including AWD, 2H, 4H, and 4L, while also offering crawl mode and tank turn functionality.
Overall, the Shanhai Cannon Hi4-T combines the exterior, payload capacity, and off-road equipment of a hardcore pickup with the power performance, pure electric range, and long-distance driving capability brought by the plug-in hybrid system, making it a new option in this segment. As for its actual on-road driving, off-road performance, and energy consumption economy, we can wait for subsequent real-vehicle experience.
