GWM is looking to take the fight right to Toyota and Ford<\/a> in both the ute and SUV segment with a new 3.0-litre turbo diesel engine set to make its global debut by mid-2026.<\/p>\n

At the recent GWM Tech Day in Melbourne, GWM Chief Technology Officer Nicole Wu said that the 3.0-litre engine would join the company’s existing 2.0-litre and 2.4-litre turbo diesels, adding “and here’s the kicker; our 3.0-litre turbo diesel Tank and ute models will make their global debut right here in Australia by mid next year.”<\/p>\n

\nGWM Chief Technology Officer Nicole Wu announced that the new 3.0-litre engine would have its global debut in Australia next year.<\/p>\n

Unlike other 3.0-litre diesel engines in the segment, the GWM unit won’t be a six-cylinder, rather it will be a four-cylinder unit that could produce up to 170kW and 600Nm.<\/p>\n

This is slightly shy of the 184kW produced by the Ford 3.0-litre diesel V6 used in the Ranger<\/a>, Everest<\/a> and Volkswagen Amarok<\/a>, but right on it for torque.<\/p>\n

\nWhile the Cannon Alpha is in line for the larger engine, the smaller Cannon won’t see it in this current generation.<\/p>\n

The larger diesel engine will initially make its way into the Tank 500<\/a> and Cannon Alpha ute<\/a>, and could well see use in the larger Tank 700 which currently uses a 385kW\/850Nm plug-in hybrid V6 petrol engine and is being evaluated for release locally.<\/p>\n

While it won’t make it into the current generation of smaller Cannon utes<\/a>, it could be a possibility for the next-gen ute that is expected to grow slightly larger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"GWM is looking to take the fight right to Toyota and Ford in both the ute and SUV…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":67439,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[138,25754,54239,54243,54244,53038,54242,54240,54241,29220,111,43,139,69,14931,35538,54245],"class_list":["post-67438","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-cannon","tag-diesel","tag-does-the-cannon-alpha-ute-have-a-3-0-litre-engine","tag-does-the-tank-500-have-a-3-0-litre-diesel-engine","tag-gwm","tag-gwm-3-0-litre-turbo-diesel","tag-gwm-cannon-alpha","tag-gwm-tank-500","tag-large-suv","tag-new-zealand","tag-news","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-tank","tag-ute","tag-what-is-the-biggest-engine-gwm-makes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67438","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=67438"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67438\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/67439"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=67438"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=67438"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=67438"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
