GWM Cannon ute gets longer capped-price servicing coverage
GWM has overhauled its capped-price servicing program for Cannon ute models equipped with its 2.4-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine.
It now requires servicing every 12 months or 15,000km, up from 12 months or 10,000km and aligning it with the service schedule previously confirmed for the related Tank 300 diesel SUV – not to mention various ute rivals.
The change sees the Cannon now offer capped-price servicing for five years or 70,000km, up from 45,000km.

The first scheduled visit to a GWM service centre is also now required at 12 months or 10,000km, instead of six months or 5000km. The following visit is now at 24 months or 25,000km, instead of 18 months or 15,000km.
GWM says some owners may receive a service reminder indicating a first scheduled service at 5000km, as seen in the original service book. However, it will retrospectively issue revised service/warranty booklets with the new service schedule.
The Cannon continues to be backed by a seven-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty, with five years of roadside assistance and capped-price servicing.

Here's a guide to service pricing:
That results in a total service cost over five years of $2530, up from $2065 though with a greater mileage allowance.
'After extensive collaboration with our factory and R&D teams, we have successfully optimised the service schedule for these models — improving owner convenience while also lowering overall maintenance costs,' said GWM Australia and New Zealand chief operating officer John Kett.
GWM hasn't outlined any changes to the service schedules for Cannons equipped with the 2.0-litre turbo-diesel four.

2026 Audi RS6: V8 to live on alongside new EV
The 2026 Audi RS6 won't ditch its V8 engine but it will gain a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) system and be sold alongside the electric RS6 e-tron, marking the first time the Audi Sport division has offered both electric and combustion-powered RS6s. According to Autocar, the next RS6 is expected in European showrooms in 2026 with Australia following shortly after, and Audi has been testing a V8 PHEV powertrain – much like that employed by the rival BMW M5. The move comes after a previous decision to make the next RS6 full-electric only was reversed after slower than anticipated sales for electric vehicles (EVs) saw the company ditch plans to sell only EVs by 2033. The strategic rethink also saw Audi confirm it would develop a new line of internal combustion engines to play a role in expanding its lineup of hybrid vehicles. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Instead of ditching the electric RS6 e-tron in favour of a hybrid version, however, Audi will offer customers both. The 2026 RS6 e-tron, like the A6 e-tron it's derived from, will sit on the Volkswagen Group's Premium Platform Electric (PPE) underpinnings, with the 2026 RS6 hybrid using the Premium Platform Combustion (PPC) architecture like the new-generation Audi A6 it's based on. The ability to produce both is helped by other brands within the Volkswagen Group, including Porsche, continuing to offer internal-combustion-engine hybrids alongside EVs, splitting development costs across more models. While the RS6 is a rival to the BMW i5 M60 and BMW M5 PHEV, given its similar size and price, the move more closely resembles the decision by BMW's M division to introduce both EV and hybrid models of the next BMW M3 on different platforms. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Further hedging its bets, Audi will offer the RS6 in sedan and wagon body styles – reintroducing the sedan for the first time since 2010 – according to Autocar. The next RS6 is set to be the most powerful RS6 yet with the hybrid version expected to use a further developed version of the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 – used by Porsche and Bentley – which makes 453kW/850Nm in the current RS6. Teamed with plug-in hybrid tech including an electric motor integrated into the transmission and a lithium-ion battery, power will jump to as much as 575kW/100Nm – the output the powertrain makes in the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid. This endows the Panamera with a 2.9-second 0-100km/h time and 325km/h top speed. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Those sorts of figures, if achieved in the RS6, would outmuscle the latest G90 BMW M5's performance, which sees 0-100km/h in 3.6 seconds and a 305km/h top speed from its 727kW V8 PHEV. The RS6 e-tron is expected to build on the current Audi S6 e-tron – due in Australia this year with a 405kW/856Nm dual-motor all-wheel drive powertrain – by some margin and will be offered with the same 94.8kWh battery as the standard A6 e-tron. Audi's current high-performance EV is the RS e-tron GT performance, which produces 680kW and does the 0-100km/h dash in 2.5 seconds. A source told Autocar, however, that the RS6 e-tron is unlikely to be as powerful though there will be a 'solid increase' over the S6 e-tron. Both petrol-hybrid and EV RS6s will look the part, with pumped-up body work, larger front air intakes as well as large alloy wheels housing high-performance brakes. More details are expected ahead of the 2026 Audi RS6's official unveiling, expected sometime later this year. MORE: Everything Audi

2025 Kia Tasman drive-away pricing detailed
After detailing recommended retail prices for its first ute in April, Kia has now published a list of drive-away prices for the all-new dual-cab range. The 2025 Kia Tasman lineup will open at $42,990 before on-road costs or $46,490 drive-away for the entry-level S 4×2 dual-cab pickup. The range tops out at $77,990 drive-away for the X-Pro 4×4. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Thus far, Kia has only published pricing for the dual-cab pickup, which will be the only body style available when customer deliveries begin in July. Dual-cab/chassis variants will follow in August, followed by single-cab/chassis versions in late 2025. Pricing, either with or without on-road costs, has yet to be announced for these derivatives. Compared to the most affordable single-turbo, dual-cab 4×2 pickup version of the top-selling Ford Ranger, the base dual-cab 4×2 Tasman pickup is more affordable. Based on a New South Wales post code, the Ranger XL Double Cab 4×2 pickup costs $49,734 drive-away. Likewise, the Toyota HiLux WorkMate 4×2 Hi-Rider dual-cab pickup is more expensive than the base Tasman at $49,988 drive-away in NSW, though you can get the popular ute with petrol power and a lower ride height for less than the base Tasman. However, a Ranger Wildtrak Double Cab 4×4 pickup with the 2.0-litre bi-turbo diesel four-cylinder engine is priced at $76,883 drive-away, which makes it more affordable than the flagship Tasman X-Pro. A Toyota HiLux Rogue can be had for $77,499 drive-away, also undercutting the top Tasman. You can also get a Ranger Sport with the optional turbo-diesel V6 for around $600 more in NSW than a four-cylinder Tasman X-Pro. There's only one other Korean ute available in Australia, the KGM Musso. Available only with four-wheel drive and a dual-cab pickup body style, the Musso is priced from $38,000 to $46,500 drive-away. All Tasmans are powered by a 2.2-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine producing 154kW of power and 440Nm of torque, mated with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
