      Hi Paul I watch your every videos and follow your ig cuz I think you are one of the best car reviewers in Australia and the reason for that is because you seem less bias and very informative. But this video had me questioning as to why this specific car had received more than 1 dedicated review video in such a short period of time? Is it an ad? And they weren't happy with the first one?

    • @CarExpertAus
      @CarExpertAus  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      @@ishoman.alxndr Typically there are only a limited amount of vehicles to review and a brand like GWM will loan the same vehicle to a number of outlets. To ensure each outlet has time to edit their video they set a date when they are all allowed to be published. That's why you'll see lots of them go live at the same time.

      I have noticed a trend with reviewers where they apparently leave the driving mode in normal i.e. tarmac and then drive over moguls or deep water and roll their eyes when the wheels spin or park distance sensors beep. Just choose the appropriate drive mode and then see what happens. It's not like this is a series one Landrover. If the vehicle has drive modes that tailor the traction control then use them, otherwise it gives the impression that they are trying to find problems where they don't exist.

The GWM brand has been a real winner for me . I noticed the tech, screens and software appear the same as the Tank and that bloody lane keeping is infuriating. Must shuffle through the menus and be turned off at every start up otherwise it chirps away like a pokie jackpot and aggresively steers the car when you least expect it.

    I wish the tests done on a bunch of SUVs and Pickup were in a previous episode...that any future SUV will test, Cylinder Test 10%, Wheelbase Endurance Test, Airlift Tire Torque Distribution Test, Easier Testing To climb a hill, try to climb a hill full of small stones... I hope there will be a test to climb a sandy hill... These tests will be great and be a reference for many people, and let's see how car companies improve their weaknesses in these trials

    Hi Paul, and from the outset, thankyou thankyou thankyou!
    I've been a tad critical of you not testing vehicles in correct modes off road in the past, but I do understand you can't obviously learn every feature on every vehicle in detail in the timeframe you have, I accept that. Pothole mode would have assisted cross axle traction problem you experienced.
    I've been perusing your site for a while now waiting this review as like you, I'm really impressed by this vehicle.
    The crawl feature, the turn feature both Toyota derived features implemented now in a vehicle half the cost, unsure about the petrol version but the hybrid version (as tested in Oz) has under vehicle view, a LR Defender feature.
    An oversite of a feature is, the rear cargo floor lifts out and that shiny aluminium package stored under it are fold out legs that clip into the base of the cargo floor turning the floor into a roadside picnic table.
    Also, rear door has moulded hooks for hanging items off, someone really thought out practical options for a off road vehicle here, congrats GWM.
    Whats it missing?
    Luggage/storage for distant outback touring & payload to suit also.
    GWM will have to lift their game though, as I've been to two dealers in NSW, neither could explain the "Expert Mode" button, one saying "the button that looks like a blue bottle", don't know.
    The other describe it as a haval H6, well basically it's the same vehicle, WHAT!!!!
    How do they expect to sell them if staff are so oblivious?
    Not able to test drive in NSW at either dealer, as there is an issue registering "The Tank" with NSW RMS. One dealer has my details, he'll notify me as soon as one is registered for road use, amazingly we don't live in a country as covid demonstrated, we live in seperate states, approved by everyone except NSW RMS.
    Ineous Grenadier has recently shaken up the 4WD industry, well now its GWM making headway, this is an awesome truck. Much talk of a 5 door Jimny coming, truly Suzuki, its too late, this tank will dominate the compact 4WD segment IMHO.

The flashing headlights is really bad. For the Active cruise, the steering struggles on the narrow road, but works very good on the highway.

    @ronniehayes4199 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Just curious, but did you notice any thudding in the front suspension when doing the corrugation section? I have an H6 3rd gen, and if you go over a traffic calming bump too fast (20km/h), it sounds like something is going to break in the front suspension, particularly on the left hand side wheel. My vehicle has done 15000km, and an independent check revealed that all four shocks on my SUV need replacing. The dealer then took the same model vehicle with only 2000km on the clock, and it's front shocks were also needing replacement as they failed the test. Would love some comments regarding this. Another issue I have is that there is no motion sensor in the vehicle, so anyone can break a window and steal whatever they want, and no warning will be given.
    PS. Glad to see they have added a light to the cubby hole.😇

    I just got my Fossil Grey Tank 300 delivered to me 2 weeks ago. I have nothing but good things to say about the car. I'm still not able to understand why people are going crazy about the wheel leaving ground for a fraction of a second, its the case with any Jeep as well or any car with such a boxy design. Like mentioned in the video, this car is not meant for racing so this won't be an issue for normal driving anyways. My car drives so smooth and perfect through the city and many people already approached me asking my thoughts regarding the car as they are concerned about the payload. While I agree the payload is low, I'm not someone who used to tow caravans or trailers anyways, so it doesn't really bother me.
    I did my research not just based on YT videos, but also the internet and compared this car with other in the similar category in the market and this one really had a lot more to offer for the price. If I had to buy a Toyota Hilux or a Ford Raptor or a Land Cruiser in 2023 for nearly double the price, I would expect some advanced tech and looks/modern design especially in the interior. These Toyota cars look like their interiors were designed in 2015. I test drove all these cars and I honestly couldn't feel any difference in terms of driving capability and comfort but I loved what GWM have done with the Tank's interior (for the fraction of the price). You can call it a copy of Mercedes G-Wagon, but hell, which brand doesn't copy design/tech/or anything in today's market.
    I know Toyota have been well established in the Australian market since decades but that doesn't mean other manufacturers cars are not worthy enough. I would give this car a 9/10 today, 9 only because you guys who tow trailers and caravans know that this is not for you. Apart from that I would say, you gotta be in it to feel it. I'm least concerned about the resale value as I'll own this car for maybe 6-7 years as soon as the warranty expires, I'll sell it and buy something else. For me, how much money I spend out of my pocket TODAY is more important than what I may get back in 6-7 years back. Also market is changing, used vehicles value keeps going up and down. With the quality of cars GWM is throwing at the market today, I personally believe that their cars are going to substantially create a huge presence in the market in next 5-6 years and the value MAY increase. (Again this is just my personal opinion, I may be wrong as well, but who cares). I'm definitely happy with my Tank. Thanks GWM.

  • @shizenjapan
    @shizenjapan 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Actually looks really nice. It looks like a cross between a bronco and a wrangler. Not sure how the resale value will be or the reliability of it. But if both of them stack up ok, then I think it will be a winner in the countries that its available. Not available here in 🗾, and doubt it will be. I have a new Toyota Land cruiser prado diesel, so not likely to be changing my car anytime soon. They need a diesel in that car not that underpowered petrol. But for the money this company are on to a winner. I think if they can iron out the kinks such as improve the 4wd system, stiffen the suspension just a little while maintaining the same amount of articulation, change those stupid low profile car wheels for some proper 4wd wheels then its going to be hard to beat in a year or two. Yep I'm quite impressed with this car. But reliability needs to be proven, then it will be a game changer for many people.
