Anyone who thinks the Chinese are not going to achieve mainstream sales are just kidding themselves. Give it 10 years and they will be dominating the car space.
what planet are you on in 10 years the gwm will have fallen to peices & the everest will still be going strong just check what existing gwm models are doing after a few years
!remind me 3650 days
100%, owned mine GWM Cannon for over 2 years now, ive thrashed its guts up offroad tracks and mud hills, not one issue. People just hate they got scammed by the mainstream brands.
Not in my garage space. I will walk before i buy a Chinese made vehicle.
@@tallboy49 Spoke like a true worker 🤷🏻♂️🙉
I bought the tank 500 lux and we do love it. I have driven a multitude of different brands and this does feel well built. Time will tell. But 7 year bumper to bumper warranty was the confidence I needed. If your a Toyota enthusiast the good news is these cars should help Toyota keep their pricing to affordable rates. The money I saved from buying this I have set aside for my kids so one day it helps buy a house. Win win situation.
Subscribed. Love Tank 500. It is a extremely safe beast！ ANCAP gave Tank 500one of the highest 5 star safety rating few weeks ago （Tank 500 got over 90 scores, in comparison, Toyota landcruiser only got 81 scores, but landcruiser is also 5 star）. I also like Tank 500 specs, so much more are included in the standard model. To impress you more, it provides 7year’s warranty！ My friend has been driving a GWM Cannon for 3 years travelled over 100,000km without any single issues, and there are still 4 years of warranty left, How confident GWM is！
Shhhhhhhh! 🤫🤫 You'll upset the mainstream car brand owners.
Toyota is much better. My 200 blew the engine at only 20000km and Toyota put a new engine for free. Can GWM do this ?
@@tranlee5622 that's what GWM's 7 year warranty is for. Can Toyota compare?
7 years of factory warranty for the GWM seems pretty good too.
do you honestly believe the gwm will last 7 years🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@DAMIANCOOK-lr9gzYour are still living in the 90‘s bro！
Do you honestly think any carmaker worth their salt especially one that has so much rousing on their reputation will give a 7 year warranty as a joke? Jokes on you.
@@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298 yes unfortunately some of the population are dumb enough to believe the marketing spin and buy those crap heaps
@@DAMIANCOOK-lr9gzgrow up
I test drove the Everest and the Tank 500 . I bought the Tank Ultra. To say the Everest handles better cornering on the Highway is a joke. Its the very reason I bought the Tank.
i have tank 500 in gold and loving it. have european cars, and this one is on par. but for value for money TANK wins. fact.
长城汽车公司确实是中国主流汽车品牌，但就目前中国汽车行业来说还没有完善，大部分汽车公司比谁的价格低，这种情况下会导致产品质量出现问题，价格太低会导致质量问题，价格太贵也对消费者没有好处，正常的行业不应该只比价格，应该比较哪家汽车公司的技术实力强
@@polar3553 大哥这不是中国市场，澳洲这里只有陆巡和霸道是主流的，问题是澳洲市场的车贵的要命。丰田那两辆车十多年的内饰惨不忍睹，当时买车时为情怀考虑了但是这车实在是太老了，最后同样价钱买了沃尔沃😂
@@polar3553 技术比不了，质量确实现在还不确定。反正等过两年搞一台看看
One doesn’t have to buy or like this or any other Chinese car. But the fact is that more choice in the market places pressure on the other established manufacturers to offer us a better value and service for our buck rather than resting on their laurels and upping their prices year on year, ad infinitum. My feeling is that the Tank 500 will offer an entry point to families who always wanted a bigger people-carrier like the Everest / Prado, etc, but could never get close to owning those due to affordability. That’s quite a gap in the market, so well done to them for spotting the gap.
Agree, but saying them as good as the more established brands is just not realistic. their electronics and interior quality might be attractive. But engines and mechanics are still some way to catch up.
@@bananabear009You are so out-dated. Ford can’t compete in China and eventually will be washed out of the market there like the French and Korean cars, even the Japanese are trying to survive. The best the non Chinese brands including the German are just not good enough in the intense market there.
@@johnjong423 Yeah, Chinese market is really a cut throat market there. Even BMW I3 now sold for RMB170K. Guess all foreign brands will leave eventually, but not because they make worse cars, just not cheap enough, LOL
@@bananabear009the top trim 2.3T petrol Ford Ranger is priced at around 55K AUD in China, way cheaper than Tank 500 there, and way cheaper than what it asking in AU market… not to mention, it has more features than AU market.
@@jeremyyang9895 Yup, very competitive, perhaps even brutal market there
That driver monitoring systems are coming for all new cars (if they want a 5 star rating that is) so it's not really fair to blame the annoyance on the manufacturer. And it should be said in these reviews that you can turn it off quite easily, even if it needs to be done every time you start the car.
I would go with Gwm all day. Just wait until the tank 700 comes out
"...it can tow just 3000kg". As if you really want to tow more than that with this size vehicle.
He kept repeating 500kg more towing. It seems this is only point worth knowing.😂
Just give the GWM Tank 500 a few years to prove its Reliability capability, and if it turns out good, then it's by far such a good value-purchase, so much car for its price...unlike the main stream brands (prado's, fortuners. everests etc) which nowadays seem to be racing ever higher to be the more expensive brands.
No need, 7years warranty is peace of mind unless GWM wants to bankrupt.
@toddliu3439 whenever a vehicle manufacturer is trying to penetrate the market, they give such deals...i remember Kia used to have 7yr warranty if I'm not too wrong, don't know if they still do🤔
Anyway, as a millenial, brand loyalty is something of the past, if something works and works well, while being cost considerate, then it's very much a viable option😆
@@TheJoker-qn6vw yes, I know the new comers will always offer more generously. However, if you look at this from the consumer perspective, the established brands ask more offer less, which is purely a rapping off?
In China, I'm pretty sure the Tank 500 comes with a lifetime warranty for the first owner, Amazing!
I think price as tested would have been appropriate given the pricing shown for the Tank was drive way and the Everest most certainly was not
I bought brand new Toyota Kluger in Jan 24. I must say the built quality was cheap as, the centre console was wobbly and infotainment screen was big but without any apps and features. Now I bought Tank 500 in Gold and I must say there is a huge difference between Toyota and so called Chinese built SUV. I have done 2000 kms so far and I must say the ride quality is far better than toyota. And the road presence is incomparable, its huge beast yet so quick 225 Kw is impressive. Loving it...........
$15 different, that's a lot and towing 3.5 tonne is for a small truck not an SUV, 3's plenty. It's a banger!
👍exactly
And who would want to tow 3,500 kgs when you only weigh roughly 2,000 kgs. Tail wagging the dog
They said side steps were better in Ford yet tank is retractable which is much better for off roading.
He complained fingerprints are in the tank500 screen yet didn’t complain about that in the Ford which is even worse
And also he said he loved tank because more buttons yet did not complain that Ford have left most functions hiding through many levels of menus .
Have driven the Ford and the seats are not more supportive than the tank so not sure why reviewers make that false comment
So much of this review was biased to Ford . The only negative comments about tank were so small it was not worth mentioning .
The review is quite fair. When it comes to the screen the Tank 500's is mounted higher, so it picks up reflections more easily than the Ford, which would probably highlight fingerprints. Even the instrument panel on the Tank 500 picks up reflections, because it is not deeply recessed like the Ford's. (Look at 7:22 vs 10:40 in the video). The Ford has more practical interior space, and a usable boot even when the third row is in use. That said, the Ford's Payload capacity is lower by around 100kg. I've driven a Tank 500 and found the suspension to be too soft for me - it wallows over the road when you change direction.
I've noticed a few youtube channels/reviewers, especially the Aussie ones that are either biased towards Ford or Toyota and even Isuzu!! After spending some time test driving the Fortuner, Everest, and both Tank models, I have to say, I absolutely love the Tank 500. It's a solid, well-built car. Now, how it holds up over time is another question, but with a 7-year warranty, it's got some serious backing. Honestly, for the price, I think the Tank 500 beats out all the competition.
@@al3z275 You made the right decision, well done!
mate I've had multiple 4WD and I know for a fact stock for stock the tank 500 is more capable than that top spec Everest. And 18 inch wheel vs 21 inch, yeah nah it's not even close. In a lot of ways the tank 500 is far more superior than Everest inside and out and more equipped. And the value for money tank 500 is touchable. Other reviews also have shown its capability is even greater than the LC 300 series.
The disappointing sound made this review hard to follow.
I needed to replay lots of this review to catch important points. Side-by-side specs would be more helpful.
i test drive both, im going for tank 500. Love the interior, just another level. great job GWM
How come no TH-camrs mention the GWM 50m memory drive that can pull you out of a sticky situation without you driving it
i like that tank, it would suit people who don't need a tow vehicle
3ton is more than enough unless you it as your workhorse. How many people need to tow a 3.5ton caravan everyday?
If you want a tow vehicle you would buy the cannon alpha Ute with 3500kg towing
If the Tank has more modern designed front grille, im interested!
Nothing modern about the Ford or Toyota similar cars lol
Paint it black, looks sick!
My next car will be tank 500, I will sell my old Benz GL350 soon
Only time will tell how these chinese brands will stand the test of time. Otherwise they offer so much for less compared to the well established brands. Making us feel like we being ripped off cash. Hope other brands learn from this.
Welcome to the world of GWM & China for that matter
Does Chinese even sleep? On how much they do development
They work bloody hard, there's a concept in China "996" - work from 9am to 9pm 6 days a week, they have really good work ethic.
@@rauri1077 damn that must be really hard for the competition but extremely hard to people have to work that kind of days
@@protonjicari5990
That's why the younger generation is opting out of this lifestyle through the Lie Flat "Tang Ping" and Let it Rot " Bai Lan " movements 😅😂.
@@wosamosman9814 And not buying Japanese vehicles, why would you...
Tank 500 cabin makes the Everest cabin look slightly dated and plasticky. The price diffence is astonishing and if the viral videos of how tough Tanks are are anything to go by it's well worth the savings.
Tank exterior is hideous though.
@@farzana6676 I like the back and the side. I like the headlights. The grill is 😬😬.
As you mentioned the towing capacity it would be great to include a towing comparison of the tow vehicles.
Thanks for sharing well done
Very informative review, well done mate.
Much appreciated!
Why do the small LED fog lights keep turning in and off
Like your Speedmaster 😉
Have to say, the interior of the ford looks real low rent compared to the tank.
Ford looks like au falcon with a screen 🤣
@@SavageTechAustralia lol
Should’ve included a few other SUVs like the Fortuner, Pajero Sport, MU-X etc etc…
pajero is old and getting a redesign , fortuner is a joke.
May have not included them on purpose because It would become a circus with Fortuner and it's terribly plasticky cabin.
Those cars feel like they are at least 10 years older
Great review. Also nice seeing a bloke my height fit inside vehicles. I have left GWM off my list in the past, but looks like a few of their products are now on point. Reliability & resale value still worry me a bit, but almost worth a punt now. In 2 or 3 years, easy decision, until the prices go up like Hyundai & Kia. I love the comfort features, others like Ford & Toyota, could learn from this.
Tank 500 all day every day for me.
Give the Tank bigger Wheels and Tires and it will look like a beast. Inside You will have luxury pure and the electric side steps is next level in this class…
In Chinese market, the standard wheel is 19in and optional 20s, which do look a lot better.
@@hardycui7088 Interesting. Actually a little bit more negative offset would also better for Tank 300 and 500
I you watch Everest on re driven you will be astounded at all the issues
Cheaper with front rear diff lock more compliance suspension modern interior better sound proofing.....😀
That ford interior looks nasty.
GWM started making cars in 1984 and is the number 1 car maker in china. Decent enough
is the number 1 car maker in china -- BYD is the No. 1 now
@@liuyangyang Not really. By volume, SAIC is the number one, at home and abroad.
That ford looks a whole generation behind. Absolutely no reason to buy the Ford over the GWM.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
A Chinese reason.
Same comment I made. While the exterior is okay the cabin looks a little outdated and plasticky juxtapposed with the Tank's fresh design. And you can't beat a 7 year warranty.
@@tallboy49 only to America
Surely there's a volume knob on the steering wheel. There is on mine. And surely thats enough
Small touch screen more buttons imo
I like how the Ford is priced at 81k. Where are you buying one that cheap?
Everest is that boxy is reminds of a P38….and like my neighbors (base) Everest it even has the same reliability 😂
All the Tank components will be main stream items that they build for others like the front suspension toyota
Only time will
Tell
Which is better and last the Australian environment , not this reporter
He needs to take a breather between his mono speel.
should add new Santa fe in this comparison
Completely different market segment. Santa Fe can go barely go over a pavement.
Shall we add the corolla too?
Make sure it hybrid 😅
looks like the Toyota Sequoia!!
15k less and just as good, its a win for the Tank 500.. unless you just love the ford badge for 15k
This is definitely one of the best reviews between these two cars. The price difference is exclaimed adequately. And the flaws of the GWM are called out. The premium you pay for the Everest can to a certain extent be justified. But it's nice to see how well the Tank stacks up against the Everest.
There's nothing perium about Everest especially when you're comparing it to The Tank 500. For me Tank 500 is a better option on-road or off-road.
there's no justification for the premium in the Everest.
I think problem was the multiple flaws of the Ford were not mentioned . No justification for rip off proves yet cheap quality fit and finish in the Ford
everest sport is still $81k so hardly a bargain
Damn how tall is this guy!
Quite tall but he's white remember so no African size where it matters.
U should compared it with everest biturbo 4x4 price 4cylinder deisel difference not much in.price. Not a fair comparison. If u did that most will choose Everest.
Why should i buy a car that has no long term support and can vanish anytime
The Ford is 10 years behind in both interior and exterior design. Its just ugly tbh
Mitsubishi tank amour bullet proof
Tank looks like a RAM front end and a old Pajero rear
CHINA vs USA
lol
I love them all, but only by a Toyota for the resale value which is much higher % for longer.
haha I like how the Tanks lower daytime running lights are already not working
Wrong. Because the headlights were on and the parking sensors were detecting obstacles due to the terrain, it uses the DRLs to momentarily illuminate the front corner where the obstacle is detected. Lots of vehicles do this.
@@stephenstephen5753 ok, not sure how you'd see it though. Chinese novalties
What you are referring to is fog lights, not daytime running lights which are inside the headlights. If you look at the tank 500 spec sheet, there is feature called "Front fog lamp with steering auto light", so as you steer, that light will light up to the direction you going to, It's very handy at night, normally a luxury car feature, but more cars has it now.
Ncaw! May your unknowledgeable mind be blessed.
@@heyheyguesswhonot a novelty , most modern premium off road vehicle have many of the features found in the tank
Good luck when electronics, engine and other parts fail on the tank.
Like the Everest has had gearbox failures.
More evidence of more failures faults and recalls on fords in general
@@wcrash9361 they produce more cars. Mainly on new models. Gmw tank been around five minutes compared to ford. Just remember all those cheap garden machines in the hardware made in china lasted a month.
@@philmelb1022 will stick with the feedback from friends who have owned GWM cars for years with no issue and living their cars
@@philmelb1022hello 中黑😅
Chinese car with a monitoring camera...hmmmm
Don’t put your iPhone in your front pockets, it’s has cameras on both sides 😂
Yes the Chinese really need to find out how you are cheating on your wife
all cars need it for a 5 star safety rating
All new cars have them
Ford has self parking. Plus all the safety features tank doesnt have.
gwm haval h6 has autoparking both vertical and parallel.
Okay. Is that why Tank 500 scored higher in ANCAP?
That’s false, the tank 500 scored the highest score on ancap test than any other . They scored 91 when Toyota and fords have never gotten more than 80
Tank 500 has self parking feature and the one I like most is reverse tracking. Its a breeze reversing from long driveways. Just hit the button and the vehicle reverses out itself. I havent seen this feature in any of the premium cars....set aside ford & toyota.
whatever the Chinese are making, to be honest they don't last long.
Yes, your mother country's made Vehicle can drive 1 million miles without service, and also overweight drive every day
They give u 8 yr warranty unless they are stupid it would be the fastest way to bankrupt the company.
