What most people forget is that GWM actually know the customer profile of the people who are actually buying the cars and not people who just have opinions. These cars are going to sell and do well in the segment, they wont be the top seller in the segment but they will take alot of customers who usually buy the top range bakkie and suv of the competitor. For example, Ranger Wildtrack or Platinum customers who aren't brand loyalists will consider the P500 and it offers more value for money than those
to be fair, you are right, i mean although the alternative bakkies/suvs come with diesel engines, the fact that they offer the comfort and luxury features make it way more desirable as people arent really going to worry about payload and towing capacity they want comfort
@Mr HowMuch, can you please consider reviewing these cars after a year or 2 of ownership so we can know if it can be better for us second-hand lovers. If possible, start with these Chinese brands like Haval
@@reubentshangela6661 why would you leave a Fortuner, MUX, Everest or even land cruiser all with time tested diesel engines for a Chinese 2L petrol engine
I saw this vehicle at Clearwater mall. The GWM Tank to be specific. It is BEAUTIFUL. Woodgrain interior, analogue clock, beautiful multifunctional steering wheel, sexy gear lever. It looks huge but let me tell you... It IS HUGE. Also, not shown, the sidestep is automatic and retracts when the doors close.
I would buy these cars for piece of mind safety wise and i love having lots of features. Obviously it will mean more things to go wrong. If you buy a Ranger, Hilux, Prado you will always be looking over your shoulder plus those are high risk cars. I will go for the alternative and currently owning a Chery Tiggo 7 Pro, it hasnt given me any headaches or issues for the past 18 months i have owned it having driven it for 33 000km, so with these vehicles, if they are still good quality wise, I would definitely still buy it instead of the usual cars
I hate to say this but I agree with u there. I want to buy a bakkie but I had to take out hiluc out of my list cos I want peice of mind shem. So this is not bad at all
Maaan! I love this vehicle. We are just not primed to be fair to open competition, yet! The Chinese just keep releasing real bombs. I am not fazed by the power output, because it means with the right tune (Race chip) then you are in the territories of BMW X5 M50d or 50i! 😍
MR HOW MUCH listened to me... I asked him to get a hold of these POWERFULL vehicles... Thanks my guy... Germans can have a nice day. CHINESE cars are the KING now... Im buying the TANK500 and P500 this week.. Praise the Lord😊
Well done GWM on the P500, i've always wanted a sunroof on a double cab Bakkie & great power as well (255KW) almost caught up with the Ford Raptor (292KW).
Not really. That power pushes 2.5 tons of weight. It's very slow compared to the raptor or even the 2.8 hilux. A lot of useless kilowatts. I think the 2.4 diesel should be a bit better.
The german brands are about to make a huge comeback because it seems as though the Chinese are now becoming as expensive as german cars, and if the consumer has to choose between Chinese and German, i have no doubt German Engineering will win hands down
The bakkies are gonna outsell the SUVs for sure. The Tank SUV needs a powerful diesel powerplant because those hybrids are not as efficient as advertised. Well, that's my take
If I have a million to spend on a car, a Chinese bakkie is the last thing on my mind. Plus reliability and depression are still a high risk with gwm’s unproven record
Incase you didn't know GWM has been selling the steed bakkie in SA for over 12 years now... I don't know anyone who will say a car brand that lasted him over 10 years is unreliable
Another great review once again from Mr. How Much. Keep up the excellent work! The pricing seems a bit on the aggressive side. GWM should recognize that a significant factor driving people to purchase their products is the affordability. South Africans still have strong brand loyalties and would often prefer to buy an inferior vehicle from a well-known brand. At a million rands, the target market is small, but competition is fierce from established brands. I’m not sure how large the P500 is, but this could be an opportunity for Toyota, Ford, and Nissan to introduce their larger American bakkies like the Tundra, F-150, F-250, and Titan to the South African market. Many would be willing to pay R1 million or more for these models.
The P500 is larger than all the competitors in size. Its similar to an F150 in size. Justified to be more expensive however i do feel like a V6 diesel with 200kw and 690NM was more suitable
Amazing video, I'm more in love with the p500, that car is worth the million, maybe not better than a ranger wildtrak x or the Amarok Aventura but definitely better than the Hilux
Hello everyone 🫡🫡🫡🫡 as I wait to see this interesting vehicle. Who knew GWM would be in the Premier League 💳💰? It's going to be interesting to watch the market.
Two minutes in and it's already a betrer out together first impressions show of the Tank than what the other guys did. Kumbi M and the other one from switch off South African. 😊
GWM and Chery did extensive research and realized there's a gap between luxury SUV and workhorse bakkies. Chery is about to release their own luxury bakkies
@@bonganigumede1 not really. This price is market related and it is well priced. This is a luxury car which competes with the top range of those cars and is better when it comes to luxury, comfort and feature aspect. The only thing the competitors have over it is being around for longer and being established brands. For the buyer that is interested in payloads and keeping a car for 20 years, this is not the car as it is not trying to be that.
@@sandisongwenya4667I disagree. The Chinese have created a reputation of being affordable, below their competitors. Tank and the p series might end up not selling
@@jay1900 If you look at the Tank spec for spec against it's competitors it is still cheap. Some of the competitors dont even offer some of the spec in the car. GWM knows the customer profile and it will sell. It wont topple the competition, however it will sell
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Kruger National Park! Thank you 😂😂😂😂 To be honest I don’t know what to think about the Tank but R1M? Aowa 😂😂😂😂 A used Everest XLT under 15000km goes for R780k with that awesome 2L Biturbo engine. 👍🏾 Nonetheless awesome Video 🫡 🤝🏾
Hi Brother, love the channel. Im a big sound guy and I never find any reviews of the sound of the sound system and the upgrades to sound that they offer. Is it clear? is it loud at speed? Something we'd have to trust you on as we cant hear it but useful nonetheless
I love them a lot and I feel like they need bigger engines at least V6 turbo diesel would make justice and as for pricing hey I never thought the price tag would be 7 figures. in this case i would go for a TOYOTA LAND-CRUISER
Oh my gosh that car is beautiful. I was dreaming about Landcruiser prado but I think I can settle for the Tanker. Plus the tsotsis are out to get the Toyotas.
Tank500 is a very nice SUV to drive. But it is competing with the beast of this series, Everest and Land Cruzer. Their price just says add few rands and get theoyota Land Cruiser Prado TX 2.8GD. Fun car to drive. Will be watching this market closely.

Good idea 💡
The tank 500 and P500 needs a 3.0L turbo diesel ⛽ engine
Would be a killer vehicle if it was equipped with the legendary N57 3.0d bmw engine
Their extremely ambitious with their pricing
Disrespectful 😂
My thoughts too.

GWM is pulling a "Huawei" on us with that pricing!🤣😂good luck. Once again, great review Mr HowMuch🤝
Yes, ots pulling a Huawei on us, then I'd rather go with Samsung, I mean Land Cruiser for that price
I've been Huawei loyal since 2012... Then I'll definitely buy me a GWM 😊
I think Huawei's pricing is actually extremely good.
Lol why mara
That "Kruger National PAAAAAAAAARK" was unexpected 😂Great review👍🏾💯

You did exactly what I thought u might do, reviewing both vehicles. I’m always at awe with your vlogs. Wena you can sell an ice to an Eskimo 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
The grill on the Tank looks like the grill on a Dodge Ram (Not the TRX, But it's still looks like a premium car!💯

Been waiting for this one
Nice thing about this car you don't have to worry about being hijacked, unlike land cruiser or these German cars
The T500 looks incredible and has class. I love and would consider it... if I were rich, because there's no way I'm jumping over the Everest
I think they should consider the Pricing but overall the P500 bakkie is Super amazing 👏🏽
You deserve a channel on dstv...I love your work❤❤
The P500 is larger than all the competitors in size. Its similar to an F150 in size. Justified to be more expensive however i do feel like a V6 diesel with 200kw and 690NM was more suitable
i love the TANK +park+vehicle view .
Amazing video, I'm more in love with the p500, that car is worth the million, maybe not better than a ranger wildtrak x or the Amarok Aventura but definitely better than the Hilux
in terms of looks and tech yes but in terms of reliability, toughness and power toyota is far beyond imagination
I like the bakkie
I never knew this beauty existed 😮thank u
Because of you. I've bought P series
Best car after make a proper video each❤❤
They lost me on the price and lack of diesel option. Great review my guy
The pricing is a bit off. Why go toe-to-toe with the Land Cruiser Prado?
To be honest we are just diehard fans for Toyota and not looking at the real facts that these cars are 10 times better than the Prado
@@tshegongwaile9800I trust a Toyota to last ten years. The gwm might not last 5
@@citizen1lI know people who've had gwm Steed for 15 years and are drill happy. Gwm warranty is longer than Toyota.
@@citizen1l that was then, now is different. GWM offers more value than Toyota
@@Buhles I agree the initial value is better with gwm but Landcruisers don't lose value as fast
These cars are are fire, I love the p500 it's really amazing, top spec car. Please do the GR sport
Does Tank and P500 have an electrically deployable towbar
Having a fire extinguisher could it mean it burns quick
That's the requirement for all Chinese cars.
No, the law in china requires one for all cars produced there...
I was also concerned about that 🤔 but again Ferrari’s also come with Extinguishers 😂
It’s a legal requirement for all cars made there (including Tesla, BMW, Audi, VW, Ford, etc, etc who all have factories there).
Patiently wait for TCR update😅
Not a fan of big cars but it looks comfortable
I love big cars
Pricing needs to be strategic with these alternate brands, they are up against stiff competition and brand recognition
Thanks for the review Mr How Much.
Danco Mrhowmuch 😊 for the amazing review and the effort you put into this ❤🎉
