GWM Tank 300 Review: hybrid 4WD off road test! Beats TOYOTA and has Mercedes G-Wagen interior!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 พ.ค. 2024
- The GWM Tank 300 is a new hybrid 4WD SUV from China. Yep, Toyota has been evicted as a leader in the 4x4 space with this new hybrid rival!
The 2023 GWM Tank 300 has a lot of firsts for the Australian market.
It's the first petrol-electric hybrid 4WD to be offered here, and it's also it's the first ladder-frame chassis SUV to offer that type of powertrain. That means it can run on electric power alone at times, or use its battery pack and motor to push the Tank 300 along in assistance to the 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine.
This model includes a locking rear diff, proper 4x4 with low-range, and it's a five-seater with a decent boot. Watch the video to see the interior, though - it is MINDBLOWING. Like a Mercedes G-Wagen but for those who don't have $400,000 to spend!!
It's also the first model under the new specialist off-road Tank sub-brand from Great Wall Motors (now GWM). This model line will include more off-road SUVs soon, but as a first offering in the market, this has a lot going for it.
It also has no direct rivals. There is not vehicle it clearly competes against on price (from $55,990 drive-away), because the Jeep Wrangler starts at more than eighty grand these days! Plus there is no other hybrid off-roader that can do what this thing can off-road... it's pretty accomplished!
I didn't get a chance to drive it on-road at the launch event (thanks to GWM for having me along), but let me know if you want a follow-up on-road review - I'll try to arrange it.

#tank #tank300 #review - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Hi everyone! A lot of you have called out the payload limitation of this vehicle - yep, I’ve confirmed it is 400kg payload for hybrid models. That’s a severe limitation on the usability of the vehicle for families or even adventurous buyers who want to accessorise their 4x4. For instance, my family would likely exceed the limits on our regular big trips to see family, as we have two dogs, a toddler and always take a boot full of stuff. We don’t camp, but I know how much camping gear can weigh!
I’ve learned that the petrol model, due soon, will have a slightly better payload capacity - more like 475kg - but still not as good as it should be, really.
Consider this, however - a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited four-door model has between 560kg and 570kg payload. That means all those heavily modified Wranglers you see are likely in excess of payload limits, especially if they have more than a couple of occupants.
Tell me your thoughts!
Don’t forget, Matt, the tare mass only includes 10ltr of fuel.
You need to take another 70kg off the payload if you’ve filled the tank.
I think this just reinforces the point that the Tank is a fun car rather than a workhorse/family hauler.
For me it’s a Jimny with most of the problems fixed.
how can 7 people even stay within the payload limit with no stuff?
@@veryaware it’s a 5 seat car.
But at an average of 80kg per person you are over if you fill the all the
passenger seats.
4 fat people and a full tank of fuel will do it too. 😂🤣
Wow that is lousy. Might stick to my troopy.
That's crazy, so technically you could be overweight with four large adults in the car? That's not very impressive at all.
Reliability is actually pretty good. I have a friend who's put over 100k kms on it and the only issue was a flat tire once. I guess the tire issue should not be counted as a problem of the car.
Holy, its matt from carsguide. Absolutely supporting the channel if he’s gone solo. Thats awesome.
Thanks!! Happy you’re into it. Should be fun, plenty more to come!
The most detailed review for this car so far. Good job!
Much appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment!
Best Oz review of this car so far
Thank you, Stizzy. Glad you got a lot from it - expect more of the same here!
Only review I have seen so far...Cadogan...?
Nice work, Matt. Great review! Awesome work getting on the launch 🤙🏼
Thanks Sam! Hopefully the first of many launches for The Right Car?!
After some 18 million cars made and 43 years in business, it would be pretty bad from China's only private and most reputable car company to put some shabby cars on the road. In today's world you don't get to win over new customers with Chinese "shit". Truth is, China now not only has the world's second most active space program (because you need to have pretty good manufacturing and engineering standards to do that) but now they're producing not only world class, but often world leading vehicles. I don't personally like the look of this car, too much of a retro style (and it ain't bronco copy, coz it landed the same time as the Bronco on that market and it takes some 5 years to engineer and design a new car). Now if it had the Haval Dargo look, I'd be much more interested. My GWM Cannon is 2 years old now with over 35,000 km and haven't missed a bit and I don't think this Tank will either.
Yep, China has long been a small player for cars in Australia, but some of the established brands from Japan, Korea, the US and Europe need to be on notice. The Chinese brands aren’t mucking around.
Best of luck with the new channel. Your reviews have always been very informative.
Thanks Cheese Trumpet! I appreciate that. Glad you’re here for the journey, too!
Great to see you again, Matt. Best wishes for the new channel - I've hit the subscribe button and look forward to watching the channel grow. This has been the best review I've seen for the Tank thus far, so well done there. It is actually the first Chinese car that I would seriously consider owning - I hope you get to do an onroad review as well.
Thank you - I really value the feedback, and I'm hoping you enjoy the ride as much as I am.
You know what - I'm actually super excited to drive it on road. I hope it's good, because this thing is such a weapon. Forget choosing it in black, though. The hero Dusk Orange in the thumbnail, or the almost-greeney Fossil Grey would be my choice. What do you think?
Thanks!
The murderous, genocidal regime is certainly pumping out some good products, for a murderous, genocidal regime....
@@therightcar Yep, Dusk Orange for sure. I think that driving this car is a statement, especially to those who know their cars - basically you're saying that you're willing to put xenophobic and brand prejudices aside and pay decent cash (it's not particularly cheap) to give this one a go - you may as well go all the way and opt for the hero colour.
Ditto - best of luck with the channel Matt
Congratulations Matt, love your New Channel. You are by far the best vehicle reviewer in Australia. Glad to see you left those idiots at CG.
Thanks very much. I don't consider them idiots, though - some of my very favourite people are still there. The management (former management, now) who made the decision for me to leave... you can thank him for stoking the flames. This channel is going to be a lot of fun!
Matt, you and Cadogan are all we need. Yesss!
The price just shows that everyone else is ripping us off.
Sure does
It’s Chinese from a company controlled by the CCommunistParty as they all are. Built and exported specifically to cripple the economy of democratic countries. Not that Australia has any motor manufacturers left, because they have already been decimated along with the jobs that went with the industry.
@@hedydd2 当西方世界说自由贸易的时候，你就知道他们是多么虚伪。
@@hedydd2 Maybe that, if you can provide evidence. Or maybe they just handle the supply chain better, a company need to generate profit once they enter the civilian market, even if it state-owned. Healthy competitions are always good for us buyers, Toyota really needs to up their game if they want to remain their position.
@@hedydd2 just cos your country can't produce sh!t don't mean u should disparage other countries.
I WANT ONE.. I had a Toyota FJ Cruiser for 4 years it had the worst bloody seats in any car I have owned, glad I no longer have it.
This Tank 300 Hybrid is my next car provided the on road tests are as positive as those seen so far. I would like 7 year service plan to match the warranty.
I don't want 7 seats or tow anything.
Good on ya, Buncha. I’ll be sure to get one for an on-road test. Hopefully it’s as positive as the first impression I got from the car off-road.
I need space for my rifles, dogs and pig and kangaroo carcasses, as well as camping gear, supplies and generator. And piss. lots of piss.
@@carrisasteveinnes1596
Well this one's not for you.
Very great review Matt. Close one recommended this program and now will be a subscriber. All the points been discussed in your review. Thanks
Thanks very much!
I'd be interested in seeing an on the road review. All I have seen available so far have been the off road reviews. That said, good review. Thank you @The Right Car
Thanks Matt. Great review. One more subscriber signed up. 😎
I ordered one of the these the day they went on sale so i’m really hoping it’s as good as your review indicates. 🍻
Good on you, Harry. I hope it is, too!! Can’t wait to drive one on the road, and to see one that isn’t the black colour.
Hey mate, how is it holding up? Loving it?
Great review Matt. Can't wait to see an on road test but it's hit the top of my list of contenders for my new car. The price point and safety specs certainly tip this in favour over a wrangler.
Thanks mate. I hope it’s as good as it should be.
I finally looked at one today.
Have to say I was super impressed and once the demo vehicle is registered I'll be in line for a test drive.
I've never so willingly provide my contact details to a vehicle dealership. Can't wait for the call.
Great video matt... One of the best auto journo in Australia
Thank you! That means a lot.
You should come to India and drive new Tata and Mahindra cars. They have improved a lot on safety and drivability perspective. Will love to have your views on it esp cars which might launch in Australia as well I.e Mahindra cars
Subbed, smart review . Sounds like a winner. Thanks!
Thanks! Cheers for joining along for the ride!
An on-road review will be important before considering this vehicle as most people will use this as day to day work commute and weekend warrior!
Will be waiting for your on-road review, Matt!
Good point! Thanks Ash, I'll be sure to give it a crack when the opportunity presents itself. Glad you enjoyed it.
Love the cap champ!!
I’ll get some of my own with the logo made soon. But until then, it’s a mix of Rabbitohs and the band Underoath. 😂
This is a fantastic car... And a great review, can't wait till it arrives if South Africa
Thank you!
Great review Matt, good luck with the channel. Be good to have the road review Hybrid and non Hybrid models.
Thanks, Gerard! Will hopefully have a chance to do both powertrains.
Can I ask how long they quote for delivery? I just ordered a Kluger Hybrid for wifey, and they are telling me August at the earliest! If stock is available sooner, I'll cancel with Toyota and opt for the Tank instead.
I’ve got a GWM Haval H6 4wd Vanta at the moment (coming from a 2016 Mazda BT50) and I absolutely love it.
I really do like this Tank 300 though and i’m seriously considering upgrading.
Thanks for the comment! Yes, the Tank is awesome. It is a little bit hamstrung by a low payload capacity, so be sure to check the figures and see if it’ll work for you before you trade up!
New subsciber here! Good job Matt
Thanks, Robert! Cheers for hitting that button!!
Good review, thanks. An on road review would be interesting 👍👍
I’ve done one! Check my channel
I like your review
Glad you enjoyed it
Great review Matt, hopefully GWM consider this same interior with the next gen ute with a little more storage.
Fingers crossed!
It’s amazing, I will definitely buy one
Cool! What colour though??
I'd go one in grey
It looks awesome.
Congrats for your new channel ,I used to prepare press cars for you @Erskine Park. Now looking for new job.
Thanks mate! Hope you find a job you love.
Some all terrains on these would make this a beast offroad!
Detailed review, love it, when does this tank come to NZ?
Thanks! It’s still under evaluation for NZ I believe.
Great review Matt! One question though. I take you were in the Ultra as it features the sunroof, yet the 4 large blanked off buttons around the gear selector which (from other markets) are for seat heat/cooling? Are these not featured in OZ?
Thanks for the comment. You can get the Ultra with heated and cooled seats. I am not sure the specification of the vehicles at the event I attended were as you would see it if you ordered one today. So, I think if you buy an Ultra spec, you get the blanks filled in!
The base model comes with a sunroof. Part of the reason I cancelled my Everest Sport order to get on of these.
The exterior and interior design has been nailed. Rather a turbo-diesel or even turbo-petrol, but design wise it's pretty cool.
Turbo petrol is going to be interesting for sure. Especially it’s $50k drive away as expected.
Hybrid on its way with 258kw
Just discovered your reviews today.. so far they have been pretty good with an even share on the pros and cons. Would you consider do a comparison?? i.e. I'm pondering a couple of different cars.. the Tank and the Mahindra Scorpio and maybe one or two others. Still haven't made up my mind.. but with your perspective would certainly be good.
I will definitely get a tank when the phev version comes.
How much EV range does it need, do you think?
Not much it's a HEV so small battery but uses braking regeneration should provide good economy around stop start driving
Fantastic review Matt, this car definitely looks like a very rugged 4WD, however there was an issue with payload capacity being very low when I checked some online sources. I was thinking mayb a Hybrid Australian variant might have a different payload. Do you happen to know about its Payload capacity now? Thanks
I’ll get in touch with GWM to clarify, but if the numbers on Redbook are anything to go by, you’re bang on. The listed kerb weight there is 2313kg (fatty!) and gross vehicle mass / GVM is 2725kg. Meaning 412kg payload. Yikes. Wouldn’t want a heavy family.
I’ll see if I can find out more and come back to you if I do!
@@therightcar That’s only 50kg less than a Wrangler 🤷🏻♂
@@Harrychambers1 I think I'd prefer this to wrangler, as Jeep has lost it's way, but what of warranty length and Km travelled? Id hope for at least 7 years/unlimited Km at the least.
@@carrisasteveinnes1596 you’re in luck. The Tank 300 comes with a 7 year, unlimited km warranty and 5 years road side assist.
Hey Matt, please do a full review. The petrol version is out in dealerships now
You bet. Got the car in a few weeks, review will be live in July. :D
I'm looking for a local dealer in Perth to place an order - specifically due to this video! My only gripe is that it is not in diesel (yet?) and that it looks too much like Hummer H3, with its ridiculous pushrod 3.6 Commodore engine. This would be superb with a 3.0 diesel to accompany the impressive electric plant. Price is good too.
Hi! There are a few dealers in Perth - Wanneroo, Osborne Park, Burswood, Morley, Attadale and Mandurah. So a few options!!
And I’m really happy to hear your thoughts. I also reckon a diesel would be a great fit. There won’t be one, though. Not part of the plans.
If a plug-in hybrid would appeal, then that MIGHT eventuate at some point. But there is a 2.0L turbo petrol with ZF eight speed auto due here soon, probably around $50k drive-away. Bargain.
If they sold this model in the UK it would decimate Land Rover defender sales !!!
You think? Would it need to be EV or PHEV to do so?
U-8 is the only serious contender of Land Rover Defender. Tank 300 takes on Ford Bronco.
Jl wrangler 4XE came out 2 years ago with a proper hybrid with 2.0 turbo petrol. It just doesn’t come to australia like lots of models.
You’re right. It was supposed to be offered here. But it hasn’t been yet. It’s also plug-in, if that’s what you mean by “proper”.
Nice review, good detail.
Thanks, Shaun! Glad you got something out of it.
Good first effort by GWM ... 👍👍👍
I reckon!
Hi Matt, great review. Though can you please change that horrible electric break sound that comes on in each chapter change it’s really annoying. Other then that, great review :)
Ha! Thanks mate, I appreciate the (mostly) kind words. I'll see if I can find a less grating chapter marker noise. You're not the first to mention it, but others have asked me to dob in the car that the sound recording comes from (for reference, it's the central locking unlocking, and the electric folding mirrors folding out)... Any guesses??
@@therightcar oh I wouldn’t have a clue but please do tell as I’ll make sure not to buy it lol. :)
Anytime new cars come out, especially in Australia, I wonder about servicing, dealer networks, outback and rural support for breakdowns etc. Also no diesel? Will need at least 12-24 months in country before we start to see reliability and support network in action.
The reliability of this powertrain is certainly something of an unknown quantity. But the Tank 300 will be sold and serviced through GWM’s already pretty-extensive network. The brand has more than 80 locations for sales or service across Australia, which - admittedly - is no Toyota (200-plus), but is good for a brand that is on a growth trajectory.
Diesel - yeah. It would fit nicely with this vehicle. But don’t bank on it.
Had to laugh when chasing cars decided a VW was the best tow car to go around Australia, the scary reliability aside that some drivers experience, imagine trying to get it fixed and parts etc if there is an issue
Great stuff mate
Thanks, Scott!
No mention of the size of the fuel tank, I imagine small given the space for two motors and battery. Would be a consideration for a long trip.
Thanks for the comment. It’s a 75 litre tank.
nice!
Bella macchina!
This is one sweet off-roader. Too bad will never get it in Canada!
Better move Down Under?
Unless we assemble it in Canada, this is the business I want to invest in.
Yes road review. I live in South Africa.we have 6 - 10 hours blackouts per day. I want fast charger and must run my home and office tools aswell..but as is I am in.
Thanks for the comment. But this isn’t a plug-in, and doesn’t offer vehicle-to-load (V2L). There may be a plug-in at some point, but until then, you might be better off buying a Honda. A Honda generator, I mean.
@@therightcar Or the Mitsubishi outlander PHEV
get on it matt!
its no green VL but its pretty good I guess
Nothing lives up to a green VL!
Released to yards for sale today, so hopefully you can get a drive soon on road. I am thinking of this, just the petrol version or the scorpio n.
Hey Wayne - funny you should mention that. Got a petrol one booked for a review soon. Will publish the video next month (Tues 11 July, 4pm to be exact).
@@therightcar Cool, although a different car, this and the Scorpio N will be the closest competitors price wise but I will wait until after your review. I liked the Scorpio a lot for it's quietness inside. I have not driven the Tank as of yet
This would compete in USA with the wrangler 4xe is suspect. Would be great to see it a plug in hybrid.
Keen to know how far it will drive on electric or at what point (speed/power need) the petrol cuts in.
Great review, your are 1st to show the 360 camera. Thanks also on the rear seat view and luggage space. Well done. I keen for a road review. I have booked a test drive, just waiting for them to be available.
I hope gem review that load limit, or allow some pre rego uplift
Thanks! Great feedback. I’m hoping to drive one on-road in the coming months. Stay tuned!
This is going to be a little game changing in the oz 4x4 scene, please do an inroad review bro
Thanks! I reckon it will have a serious impact, this rig.
Happy to get an on-road review done, when the car is available. Likely in a couple of months. Stay tuned!
Has very comforting Jeep Commander vibes, and I owned one and liked it. In fact, I gave it sister in-law, who still has it as the family bus. Great 3.0 diesel.
Hi Matt can you review ssangyong rexton or compare with toyota fortuner as well?
Hey Devit, thanks for commenting. I can try and get a Rexton to review, but I don't have scope to do comparisons just yet. If you spread the word and help me get to a few hundred thousand subs in the next few months, then maybe I can do comparisons! :D
These Chinese car companies should do full scale global marketing of their cars... We like them, they are sexy
Sexy? That might be a far. Hahaa!
I wonder if it will come to the UK? The steering wheel is already on the correct side.
I’d imagine it will but as a PHEV
Ive heard its carry weight capacity is very low. That carrying 5 adults would put it over its legal limit, meaning carrying anything is pointless. Can you confirm this? Perhaps they need to strengthen the frame.
I’ve asked the question mate. Will update when I know more!
Just bought the 300 HEV in South Africa, it has all these features, but does have a handle on the drivers front pillar, and does not have that annoying little camera on that pillar. Interesting, still has driver fatigue monitoring, so not sure what that camera on the pillar in Oz does?
Oh sh*t it’s a spy camera
How's the rust protection? Or just don't park anywhere near the coast?
No corrosion details listed in the GWM warranty documentation. That would suggest that you could argue it has the same level of rust cover as the new-car warranty (7 years).
She's a beauty! Only if fuel consumption is below 8L/100km. And maybe a tan interior for me ..
I think the fuel consumption should be closer to 8L/100km once rehomologated. We will see!
10L plus is too high for a Hybrid. If it were diesel it should get down to 7L or so.
Can you go electric on water crossings to lessen the chances of the engine sucking water in?
Great question! I’ll see if I can get an answer.
I have a response: Tank can’t be configured to run purely on EV on 4x4.
@@therightcar thank you. Good luck with the channel. I do enjoy seeing what we don’t get in UK, get a bit of envy.
Is this a self charging hybrid or a PHEV? This would be awesome in the UK if it was PHEV.
It’s a self-charging. Battery (1.75kWh) and electric motor.
There is a PHEV possible. The brand told me the platform is capable of a 20kWh battery pack with plug in charging, possibly good for more than 60 miles or 100km EV range.
@@therightcar thanks for your reply. That was an excellent review and very informative for someone that knows nothing of that particular brand. I love what they’ve done with the internal and external design. A 60 mile all electric PHEV range would be game changing. I think the Ora Cat is a GWM vehicle which has just gone on sale in the UK so I hope the tank will be along soon.
China has been paying attention
Does it have Front Diff Locks as well as Rear ?
Yep, front and rear.
On road review please 👍👍😀
Coming VERY soon. Driving it in a couple of weeks!
@@therightcar nice! 👍😀
So will we be getting the Tank 500 eventually?
You bet. End of 2023 or early 2024.
My on-road driving review of the Tank 300 is coming in early July. Stay tuned!!
@@therightcar Kool thanks alot.
Paint the bumpers and side guards black put black 22 inch wheels slight lowering and you have got yourself a cheaper g wagon that doesnt sound like its got a hole in the exhaust and will be a lot more reliable then a g wagon.
Would be good to see how it goes offroad (i mean beyond a dirt road a Ford Laser could tackle).
Did you watch the driving bit??
@@therightcar yeah I won’t to see some proper off-road not something my Volvo XC60 could do minus the water.
You can find a lot of off-road videos about this car in other channels. It will definitely exceed your expectations.
Hi from uk matt
Hi from Australia! 😂
Hey Matt. What happened to the other channel. ?
CarsGuide? Sadly I was made redundant. So I took it as my push to go solo!
I personally think this setup, if refined over time could be some real competition for the diesels. This thing wil tow much more than the spec suggest but is set for a softer suspension in my opinion.
i was looking for matt on carsguide and he was missing i knew he is up to something
Thanks, I am excited to have my own platform to help people find the right car for their needs.

Nice review cue all the tank jokes
Thanks. I mean, they've also got a Cannon. Should we be worried??
@@therightcar Sadly BYD is only sending Australia the cute ocean animal cars, such as the Dolphin and Seal, when BYD could be sending its other "ocean" cars, namely the Destroyer, Frigate, and upcoming Landing Ship!
The Biac is a tight competitor not the ones you've mentioned
Thanks! Assume your commenting from South Africa? We don’t get those here in Aus, but you’re right. Good competitor for this, probably not as polished…. But then again, I’ve never driven a BAIC!
哇，澳洲已经有混动了，中国什么时候有？
I have a Ford Everest but am wanting to replace the diesel with a hybrid. The Tank really does seem to fit the bill. Our caravan is 1500 tare so this car should manage to pull it ok. But I'd love to see an onroad test for it... including a towing test.
Cool - hopefully when the hybrid arrives in a few months I can oblige! 😉
Jeep Wrangler 4xe has it beat for first hybrid true off roader. Electric has way more low end torque than diesel if that car can be run in electric only in 4 low that would be awesome
Yep, Wrangler was first on a global level, but this thing is her in Australia now, ready to buy. Where’s the Jeep? Feels like it’s been on its way for 18 months now…
I can’t say specifically if the system allows EV driving in 4L. Let me check and get back to you.
I’m looking at the front and I can see an old international truck. Like 1960 to 1970 ish.
My pop owns an old International… I can’t say I see it. Haha
As much as I welcome competition (especially the price), my research on Chinese forum shows that these cars later will be plagued with oil leaks.... dont know how the car will hold up when toyota introduces the hybrid prados
What forum was it? Focused on the petrol ones specifically?
On road please 😊
What are you talkin about the new Sequoia TRD Pro is an off-road hybrid SUV
I’m clearly talking about a midsize SUV in Australia. Not a large (by our standards) SUV in the US.
@The Right Car? oh well next year there most likely going to change the 4Runner and get rid of the trustee reliable for L V6 that they've been making forever and they're going to go to a 2.4 liter twin turbo hybrid system so that should affect your Land Cruiser Prado so you'll have that
My next car i dont car the price is amazing for options it have
Yep, very good value.
Surprised by the quality of this review,,, the tank seems decent too,,, I assume there will be movement on the dealer floor…
I hope positively surprised by the quality? Haha!
10/100 for Hybrid
well, looks like the engine need more improvement
New channel, familiar face.
Very kind. Happy to be back, and really happy to be making all the decisions (and mistakes) myself :D
Are you sure this is only 400L boot?
As told to me by GWM Australia. The figure might only be to the window line. But that hasn’t been confirmed.
@@therightcar thanks Matt, it does seem to be a bit bigger than 400L to me
Funny how the tech overload can make your holidays to finish on the spot. How that thing applied the emergency break by itself during a water crossing? lol. Imagine you get that in the middle of a water crossing prone to tides on an isolated place and the emergency break decided not to release. Those are the litthe things that will make this sort of vehicle a headache with reliability in the long run. Just my opinion.
I hear you. It did concern me that the AEB kicked in through a river crossing. But I guess you could turn all that safety stuff off when you’re in the bush.
@@therightcar Yes, turning all those features off might do the trick when you are in the bush, hopefully you don't have to press 10 different buttons on a touch screen everytime you turn the car off/on :) good review mate!
nice review. nice car i'm sure. but i'll probably just wait til they brought the ford bronco over to Australia.
You think they actually will??
i think ordinary hybrid is a waist of money & a lot of parts. if oem's want to do a good hybrid they should do what huawei called "range extender" by makeing their suv a "full ev" plus a small petrol electric generator! that would be way efficient & less parts, & regenerative breaking would make it even better
by the way awesmoe video & love this suv but waiting to ev version or at least ev with range extender
There MIGHT be a plug in hybrid. Maybe. But no EV or range extender.
在中国这辆混动的tank300还没有路试，澳大利亚竟然有了，
Thanks for your comment! Yep, Australia managed to have a pretty big international event for this model - Thailand, UK, Europe and South Africa attended.
谁说没有？你到底知道国内啥？你在国内？或者看国内网络视频？这辆车是老车了出来已经几年了现在才出口。
@@user-hc5cg3jc3i 人家说的是混动版tank300，去年上的车展，国内根本就没有试驾活动好吧
From my reading, the payload for the hybrid is 394Kg. So that's going to be a problem if you want to go off road in it. Even if you have no luggage, and you are a solid family where mum & dad are 100Kg and the kids are 60Kg or 70Kg each, then you have approximately zero Kgs left for anything else. How's that going to work? Only usable by skinny couples with no kids?
I’ve got a call in with GWM for clarification.
@@therightcar Will be interested to hear what they say officially. The 394Kg figure is from a couple of websites I read, but potentially could be wrong.
Wouldn't the Grenadier be a competitor?
It’s going to be roughly $50k more on the road… and it’s larger.
No, they've not beaten Toyota in the hybrid 4X4 segment, you just don't get that Toyota model in Australia. It's called the Sequioa, and it's a North America only model. It's about the size of the 300 series Land Cruiser though.
Thanks - yeah, I figured it was pretty clear I was talking about Australia since I mentioned it, oh, like, four times. 😎
I know about the Sequoia, and you’re right - it’s a bigger vehicle than this.
But wait! GWM has Tank 500, targeting Sequoia and Land Cruiser.
@@hansyang1697 waiting for that!!! on my list.
Tank 300/400 Vs Scorpio?
Scorpio doesn’t come close
Just the price alone is worth considering. 🤣
Looks like Force Gurkha
