Importers serving Russia and the CIS face a practical question in 2026: which GWM models offer the best combination of acquisition cost, durability, and resale value? This comparison looks at three GWM families that are actively exported from China to the region — the Haval H6, the Tank 300, and the GWM Cannon (Poer) pickup — across five dimensions: reference FOB price, real mileage availability, lead time, customization options, and destination fit. All data is drawn from current GWM Export stock and publicly available export documentation. GWM Export is an independent exporter and is not affiliated with Great Wall Motor.
Comparison table: Haval H6 vs Tank 300 vs GWM Cannon
| Dimension | Haval H6 | Tank 300 | GWM Cannon (Poer) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reference FOB price (used, 2021–2024) | $9,500–$14,500 | $14,200–$20,600 | $8,500–$18,000 |
| Typical real mileage available | 18,000–70,000 km | 21,500–28,000 km | 60,000–75,000 km |
| Lead time (Tianjin/Guangzhou yard to Moscow) | 25–35 days | 25–35 days | 25–35 days |
| Customization | Trim-level selection; LHD only | Trim-level selection; LHD only | Bed configuration; LHD only |
| Best destination fit | Kazakhstan, Russia (urban) | Russia, Kazakhstan (off-road) | Nigeria, Kenya, Russia (utility) |
All prices are reference FOB prices from Chinese yards and exclude freight, duty, and destination charges. Mileage figures reflect actual listings in GWM Export stock. Lead times assume RoRo or container shipment from Tianjin or Guangzhou.
Haval H6: the volume family SUV for Russia and Kazakhstan
The Haval H6 is the highest-volume GWM export model for good reason. In the used market, 2021–2024 H6 units with 18,000–70,000 km are widely available at reference FOB prices between $9,500 and $14,500. For Russia and Kazakhstan, where family SUVs dominate urban and suburban demand, the H6 offers a balance of parts availability and fuel economy that few other GWM models match.
A typical 2023 Haval H6 with 18,000 km might list at $14,500 FOB from a Tianjin yard. Add RoRo freight to Novorossiysk (approximately $1,200–$1,800 depending on season) and Russian customs duty (25% for used passenger cars, but subject to change — always verify with destination customs authorities), and the landed cost in Moscow can reach $19,000–$22,000. This is still competitive against local used SUV pricing, especially when the unit is left-hand drive, as all GWM Export stock is.
For importers, the H6's main advantage is predictability. The model has been in continuous production since 2011, so spare parts and service knowledge are widespread across CIS markets. GWM Export holds H6 stock across model years, and each listing includes real mileage, registration date, and photos. You can request a quote via WhatsApp for any unit.
Tank 300: the off-road choice for Russian and Kazakh buyers
The Tank 300 is a body-on-frame off-roader that has gained a following in Russia and Kazakhstan for its combination of off-road capability and modern interior. Used 2023–2024 Tank 300 units with 21,500–28,000 km list at reference FOB prices between $14,200 and $20,600. That is a higher entry point than the H6, but the Tank 300 holds value better in markets where off-road ability is a priority.
Consider a 2024 Tank 300 2.0T four-wheel-drive with 21,500 km at $14,200 FOB. Shipping to St. Petersburg via container (more protection than RoRo for high-value units) might cost $2,000–$2,500. Russian duty and VAT would apply. The landed cost could reach $20,000–$24,000. For an importer targeting the Ural or Siberian regions, where road conditions favor a true 4x4, the Tank 300 is often easier to resell than a comparable crossover.
GWM Export stocks Tank 300 units at both the Tianjin and Guangzhou yards. Transit time from either port to Russian Black Sea ports is typically 25–35 days. Because the Tank 300 is left-hand drive, it registers without modification in Russia, Kazakhstan, and most CIS countries. If your market requires right-hand drive, you would need to look elsewhere; GWM Export specializes in LHD only.
GWM Cannon (Poer): the workhorse pickup for Russia and Africa
The GWM Cannon, also known as the Poer, is a diesel or gasoline pickup that serves dual duty as a commercial and personal vehicle. In Russia and the CIS, pickups have a niche but loyal following, especially in rural areas and among tradespeople. Used Cannon units with 60,000–75,000 km are available at reference FOB prices from $8,500 to $18,000, making it the lowest-cost entry point among the three models compared here.
A 2020 Cannon with 60,000 km might list at $9,500 FOB from Guangzhou. Shipping to a Russian Far East port (Vladivostok) via RoRo could cost $800–$1,200. Russian duty on used pickups differs from passenger cars — often lower — but you must confirm the current rate with Russian customs. The Cannon's payload and towing capacity make it a practical choice for importers who need a vehicle that works as hard as it drives.
For CIS markets like Kazakhstan, where pickups are less common, the Cannon can still find buyers in the agricultural and construction sectors. GWM Export holds Cannon stock across multiple years, and each listing includes real mileage, photos, and a reference price. You can request the full export document set — invoice, bill of lading, certificate of origin — before committing.
Lead time and logistics: what to expect from Chinese yards
Lead time for any of these models depends on the shipping method and destination. GWM Export holds stock at two yards: Tianjin and Guangzhou. From Tianjin, RoRo to Novorossiysk or St. Petersburg typically takes 25–35 days. From Guangzhou, transit to the same ports may be slightly longer due to routing. Container shipping adds a few days for loading but offers better protection for high-value units like the Tank 300.
For importers in Russia and the CIS, the key documents you will receive include a commercial invoice, bill of lading, certificate of origin, and export declaration. Your customs broker in the destination country will need these to clear the vehicle. GWM Export provides these documents as part of every export. You can verify the process by contacting us on WhatsApp for a current stock list and a sample document set.
Customs duty and landed cost: a note on Russia and CIS
Landed cost is not just FOB price plus freight. Russia applies a duty on used passenger cars that varies by engine size and age, plus VAT. Kazakhstan has its own duty schedule under the Eurasian Economic Union. You should always verify current rates with the destination country customs authority before finalizing a purchase. As a reference, a 2023 Haval H6 at $14,500 FOB might land in Moscow at $19,000–$22,000 all-in, while a 2024 Tank 300 at $14,200 FOB might land at $20,000–$24,000. These figures are estimates and depend on freight rates, duty rates, and exchange rates at the time of shipment.
GWM Export does not provide customs brokerage in destination countries, but we can recommend brokers and provide the documents you need. Our focus is on transparent FOB pricing and real vehicle data. Every listing on our site includes real mileage, registration date, and photos. We do not fabricate specifications or case numbers.
Who should pick what
If your market is Russia or Kazakhstan and you need a family SUV with broad parts availability and predictable resale, the Haval H6 is the safest choice. If you are targeting buyers who prioritize off-road capability and you can accept a higher entry price, the Tank 300 is the stronger option. If you need a low-cost workhorse for rural or commercial use, the GWM Cannon offers the lowest FOB entry point. All three are left-hand drive and available from GWM Export stock at Tianjin and Guangzhou.
