Not so sure. The 500 petrol is a V6 while the hybrid will be demoted to a V4. Power will similar overall but then what is the point? Maybe slightly better fuel efficiency in town but I would expect lesser performance overall as will probably be heavier and with less storage space due to the battery pack
@@janndwighttonel9240 it’s pricey but fully loaded. Soon we are getting the phone app to control the car. I’m approaching 10k first service soon. Very happy. Go test drive. 👍
The hybrid is worth it for the extra power alone - full on exhilarating both I've test driven Some good deals going on earlier new 23 build cars - brings the hybrids price very near the std one
In the two different demo's I drove both had a massive problem with them when accelerating away from a stop while turning (for example turning right at an intersection) and they took off under electric power but halfway through the turn they engaged the petrol engine with a huge shunt that violently surged through the vehicle. It's as though the electric engine was spinning the drivetrain at the equivalent petrol engine speed of about 3000 rpm and then suddenly decided it didn't have enough grunt to continue and tried to engage the petrol engine from 0 to 3000 rpm instantly. Certainly not smooth and could reproduce it on both cars, multiple times.
Drove it today - great car. Zero issues and i was looking for them - i was driving sport and normal mode mostly. No time to test everything. But great car - its a beast ... see how it goes in a few years I guess... cant be worse then my on 2014 Jeep the POS!
I havent had this issue - but once in sport mode it was stuck in some gear (was in drive) and revs were at 3k ... wouldnt shift. Was going about 50kmh. Theres a few bugs that hopefully get patched soon. The 5-7 step process of turning of ELK in a pain in ass everytime - Hybrid wont allow you to add it to the slide down menu like the petrol version. Overall its a great car so far. People always comment on it.
You have wrong numbers for the payload. Payload is 440kg and in comparison jeep wrangler 4 door once converted tare weight to kerb weight its payload is 508kg and its braked towing capacity is 2495kg

I never appreciated how toyota is marketing reliability at the expense of technology or features. Cars are still so basic for the price they are asking.
@@nostradamus2642Jeez...looked fine you say😮. Still had massive nose dive under brakes...on wet roads or steering inputs under emergency braking would be bloody scary 🤔
Don't know about the hybrid but the Internal combustion engine type are build like 50s Russian military vehicles. The chassis, the suspension, everything underneath is a old Russian military vehicles with modern interior.
Pity about the annoying drivers alerts .. that has put me off buying these for company cars...I want a grab handle not my ex wife watching and correcting every move I make ..
@@louie125 I don't think he's hating but he has come to the realization as have many others that toyota is not nearly as reliable as it is made out to be. Toyota's 'golden era' was said to be the 70s, 80s, 90s and yes their vehicles were reliable but so too were Ford, Nissan, Mitsubishi, isuzu, Chevy and I could go on. So that whole saying of toyota being the most reliable is just fluff.
@@anthonyramdin1037 😂 They are still voted most reliable and Lexus. i own generations of Toyotas and Hondas.. No issue even the new ones. He is reviewing a Chinese brand which is unproven in quality and thinks it's a better choice. Purely illogical
@@louie125 I think you are missing the point. Reliability can't be proven as the vehicle is new and Matt has acknowledged that in the past with the cannon Ute but he is saying it can be a better choice for the price, features, performance, practicality. Regarding the first part of your comment, that's your experience and opinion. But many others have experienced and are of the opinion that toyota is nowhere near as reliable as it's made out to be. The current engine in the hilux, prado, fortuner were so much rubbish that toyota completely overhauled the entire engine 4-5 years after it was released. Remember the whole dpf thing too? The previous d4d engine had garbage pistons which were replaced by a new design and the injectors are rubbish quality and fail often along with the turbo. The previous 1kz are known for cracking heads. These are just a few examples and other people can talk about reliability nightmares of other brands but toyota is certainly not as reliable as it's made out to be. And that's a fact, not opinion
I seriously want one!!!! Brilliant suv!!! (Standard one )

You predicted that well
@@connorpallister6653Haha BYD Fanghengbao5 is even better.
@@SuperJames1412 i just looked, my god that looks bonkers
Getting DAB+ and wireless Apple CarPlay also a bonus for the Hybrid... Test drove one and was very impressed.
Correction it’s power is revised to 255kw @ 648nm check page 8 of brochure. I own one now.😊 cheers. Great review 😊
Why is it measured at 5500rpms not 2500rpm
@@kevintreacy8505because it dont have max power at 2500
What’s your verdict? Is it a good buy? Thanks

We want a review of the Tank 500 ! 🔥
0-100 in 6.5s is crazy
Car Expert tested this at 7.3secs using Race Logic...not 6.5secs as tested by the nuffs-nuffs at Car Sauce🤔

Kind of reminds me of the Territory Turbo Diesel… Lazy “shunt”.

are you guys reviewing tank 500 anytime soon?
ON ROAD OUR TANK 500 IN THAILAND DOES 6.1 LITERS PER 100 KMS AVERAGE
I like the shape of tank 300 than tank 700 but I believe 700 is more updated one.
What is the max speed you can drive in 4Low? Or does the AWD mode does all the job, specifically on loose sand / dessert?
The v6 3.0T is on the way
Does this one fly?
394Kg payload! That's a joke. That's me and my mum and a big bucket of KFC and we're over the limit.
I don't doubt that for a second.
It is 440KG
2023 vs 2024 ? Are they the same features for the hybrid?

How do u turn off the annoying assistance system?
In which speed the fuel injection will take place after hiypred ? Some toyota car speed 80 some of others 60 , what about tank 300 ? Tx
Does it now attract Jim’s new 33% tax?

Bro, is Luca Doncic your brother||||
Weighs the same as my 3.2 ford everest.
Maybe but the value of selling in future , it might plummet 😢. Question is how many km will last on this engine ?
Considered it come with 7 year factory warrenty, so most likly it will last much longer than that
I never appreciated how toyota is marketing reliability at the expense of technology or features. Cars are still so basic for the price they are asking.
Still waiting for the PHEV version...
Same 🤙
Hope it comes out early enough for the FBT exemption
From what I get off the net these things have a big problem when stopping hard ....
Paul Maric at CarExpert floored the brake in a couple of 100km/h to zero stop tests in his review. Looks fine.
this one is fine as it has extra weight and they are sorting out the standard ones anyway...
TH-cam search. Brake problems gvm tank gives you all you need know

Frankly, you're better off with the new GMW Cannon Alpha Ute 2.4 turbo diesel Ultra trim for 57K driveaway
Does anyone got the car for more than a year to tell us the full review
an unaware enough person could suggests its a G Wagon
Genuine question, does the car have Harman Kardon or B and O audio subwoofer system? Or is it a Chinese brand?
It's infinity
Keep saying pretty unusual at this price point. 60K worth of a car...
Permanent 4wd system .
SOLD .
Don't know about the hybrid but the Internal combustion engine type are build like 50s Russian military vehicles.
The chassis, the suspension, everything underneath is a old Russian military vehicles with modern interior.
So you're saying it's a great off road vehicle for camping but the payload is too low to carry any of your camping shit?
Sounds sensible.
BYD Bao5 will beat the shit out of it.

Lots of these with quality issues. So compare with Toyota when they are still on the road (working) 25 years from now.
hOW MUCH DID THEY PAY U TO promote this slave made car?

Never ever l would buy any Chinese crap
No value no re sale
How do you know that
Have you seen any recent stat's on used ones
Actually seems like a good car, but overpriced in my opinion.

I drove it yesterday and it feel shit , also the tec is so bad in it .
