Owning a nice Chinese car in Australia is just a dream, as the US is pressuring its allied countries to ban or impose sanctions on Chinese products to maintain its global dominance. Sad news for costomers
In Russia, on the contrary, American, European and Japanese automakers closed their representative offices and gave the entire market to the Chinese. Now European and Japanese SUVs are “gray imports” that cost 50% more than before
It's been said many times before. When HSV's hit the 100k mark "Who'd pay 100K for a holden". Then "Who'd pay 100k for a Hyundai?" where a Genesis is almost 300 series money. People pay 80k for a dual cab ute. Idiots would pay 75k and up for a 79 series with creature comforts of an old Catholic church pew. So much is made in china they have a wealth of experience with exposure to high end manufacturing. I sell hydraulic components, you couldn't tell the difference between a Chinese or european made CETOP3 valve.
I think the thinking around "Chinese made" really will change fast. Unless global trade barriers are applied its suer bet Chinese vehicles will be the best for the consumer, quality and price and design.

Exactly... why would u want a SUV for 7 seaters!? They might just get the VAN or Commute for more seats. I want a large SUV with 5 seats only and big boot spaces where i can sleep comfortably and loading enough room.
@AH-mq9fn ranger is a glorified work ute. And a Range Rover is over priced. When I see one driving around its not oh look they must be famous or have lost of money. I think dam sorry to be them. They aren't good anymore.

$85KAUD Toyota Hilux feels like I'm sitting in a 1980s Mercedes taxi from Beirut, so yeah for $100kAUD to $150kAUD I will take this any day. My daily driver with 165,000kms Chinese car that I have owned now for almost 5years now with 0 problems yes Iam over the made in China scare. Yet at the same time my Mercedes E53 AMG has gone in for 7 expensive repairs at the same time ( I bought the two cars 1 month apart late 2019)
i currently own 6 cars, including a delica, a subaru outback, a g wagon professional, a dmax, a lc200 v8 and a byd seal. i am done with buying japanese cars. byd bao 8 will be my next new car..
I always wonder why people buy luxury Japanese cars or Japanese cars at all when they have enough money, lets say for example who have 6 cars😁 Japanese cars are reliable,cheap to maintenance, but deadly boring...
Mate, LC300 is soft too, but everyone choose to ignore that. By the way, Tank700 is A high end large SUV and off roader. What do you expect? like a Audi RS3 ?
Great looking both interior and outside. Chinese cars may not be your first option; but as soon as it can affecting some of the other brands; it is also a good sign
The thing with China is, you get what you pay for! I have bought budget chinese stuff with budget performance and expensive chinese stuff with exceptional performance. I guess its more of the perceived value. For so much features, the buyer needs to decide if they want to pay 30-100% more for other models or be content and settle with this! I just might 😊
you miss that you can lay down in quite a large degree at the second row and you can disconnect the sway bar like some really hard-core off-roader, such as Rubicon and bronco.
it's an experimental attempt from GWM to attack the real premium SUV segment and it's a strong start. GWM has all the factors available but it has room for improvement for sure. And I am sure the next one will be even a lot better
Price of the Tank 700 in China The price of the Tank 700 in China is approximately $59,000 to $96,000, and it currently sells more than 2,000 units per month in China.
So true. I do hope they are investing on suspension strong ane agile enough to compete with the Japanese made ones. Time will tell whether they can compete with the reliability too.
Wasnt a very convincing test drive thats for sure, stacked with features but ill hold off until they actually have proven longer term reliability and better handling on and off road.
No thank you. But, you can now honestly say. BMW, Mercedes and all the so called “luxury” German cars are well over priced if you get this high quality interior in a Chinese made vehicles.
Like the 300, The suspension setup seems to be on the soft side to appear more luxurious, but I'm not sure it holds up well and has the engineering integrity for a 100K car, just yet.
I dont care about luxury or bling but I do use my vehicles to tow heavy loads like 3.5 ton or more and carry a ton. And to be able to haul stuff 10000k on a trip. Which I do. This look like Toorak tractor not a serious work horse. And if its not a serious work horse what is the point of a mock 4wD.
Interesting, I had a LC200 before. When I bought it new, the last row of seats were removed and decked out with my own design storage and slide out kitchen. Just curious why would we need 7 seats for a 4WD? For transportation, a people mover will do the job. For off roading, who will carry 6 passengers😂
After owning two Chinese made cars, I would recommend people think twice before outlaying 100k on any Chinese car. They may look the real deal but their technology (or the way they implement it) just isn’t up to scratch. You end up turning off most of the sensors and gizmos after the novelty has worn off. In saying that, would seriously have a look at it if it was sub 70k.
GWM Tankl fanboys - keep dreaming that the world would choose this over a Landcrusier. There is a reason why the Landcrusier is the chosen vehicle and the Patrol. And also you are deluded if you think some air bag suspension is good for off-roading HAHAHHAHAHAHA
all good and well when new; problem with these cars is they age faster than anything else - how it holds up and looks in 3-5 years is the crucial element. old "great wall" cousins are all falling apart. for 100k that badge wouldn't get my consideration
This is not an alternative for land cruisers or Nissan patrols. It's not fair to look at their price this way. It's rather targeting a much higher segment like the G wagons and range rovers. Look at it this way and it makes much more sense. Bring it to the middle east and it'll sell like hot potatoes 🥔 😅.
Personally I think it's too good to have a chinese brand in Australian, look the Japanese cars and other brand ,far too expensive. Chinese car need to be good quality, then the market will buy it
Top model sold in China will cost you over 150k AUD, it will be well over 180k plus LCT and on Road cost if selling here. LC300 GR sounds a better option to me.
appreciate for the ambition, but GWM still have long way to go to prove the world that the consistent reliability and service, unfortunately this could mean a good 10-15 years 'testing' period by consumers as this is the minimum amount of time that toyota have spent over the years to prove their LC
Gwm should have waited about 10 to 20 years for their current lineup to prove their worth. Thays what all the oteher carmakers did. Huge reluctance for their 49k vehicles so a hundred k now is way too soon. Love it nonetheless and definitely gettingore for my money than a Gwagon.

Yeah, Europe already buckling under US pressure to increase tariffs on Chinese cars so i think Australia as US ally is also being pressured to follow
What US car, ice mustang? Almost everything comes from Asian countries and China. Ford Mach E is Chinese.

MAZDA have released the CX-70 which is a CX-90 Without the third row.
That is beyond LandCruiser luxury.
They'll be forced to upgrade with new Chinese competitors.

And people who own them deny their mechanical failures and still pretend high and mighty because of status.
Absolutely and now ford decided to put a V6 Diesel into their Ranger from a Land Rover lol

Gwm should bring the Haval Raptor into Australia. AU$ 33.5k whith Hi4-t hybrid 4w drive will make the suv market crazy.
They would have to change the name to Haval hungry jacks
sadly we don't get any chinese car here in north america because of politics...

Beautiful looking car. Only thing I'm wondering is how much is this better than the tank 500 or 400, both of which looks pretty good already.
700更大更高，也更豪华，视频里对于尺寸看不太出来。车顶大概有2米到2.1米的高度。另外，动力基本上一样的。
Do you understand the fact the people buy Landcruisers for reliability?
LC300 reliability hasn't been proven yet. Hot V may still be a killer.

The interior is amazing, but the exterior design is ugly though.

Not the ability but the reliability of Chinese cars matters.

From outside it looks less luxurious than the tank 500, but I need to see it myself to have a better judgment
Thanks for the video, great work. In general, I find some new vehicles to be excessively expensive. Its hard enough to try and justify $50,000+
