  • It is hard to choose a favourite car when you get to drive all of them. Not that I am complaining, obviously. When you do what I do, you can sometimes just get a bit, well, bored with many cars almost blurring into one another. But then something like the GWM Tank 300 comes along and you just go, "This is why I love what I do!" Check out the review.

    Have a look on how the Chinese people add accessories to the Tank 300 and soup it up. With metallic colors, matching wheels and new interior. It will sell like hot cakes here in SA. By the way Haval also has a “Jeep” that’s similar to Tank 300. Strong competition in China.

    Great video as always. Interesting car - I just wonder about the servicing of GWM? Would it be the same issues as experienced with Haval? Resale value might also be an issue. But cool car!

    • @julietmcguire

      I haven't had any complaints about GWM servicing, but that is not to say there aren't any. I am just not sure. But overall I have heard pretty good things. Resale is hard to call at this point obviously. But will be interesting for sure.

    Like all the other journos in SA, you have completely ignored the payload problem.
    It's kakker than kak.
    2155kg (kerb weight - car with a tank of fuel)
    2552kg (gross vehicle mass - max weight when loaded)
    That leaves 397KG for people, luggage and trailers.
    Install a tow bar (40kg at least....So that is 360kg left
    Mom, Dad, 2 teenagers = 300kg at 75kg PP. (Not too many 75kg humans in SA these days.)
    60KG left and you haven't put anything in the back.
    Bags, food, drinks for a little week away and that is it.
    You haven't but a bike rack on or a venter trailer (camper / caravans are a non-starter), and you are already over GVM.
    It's NOT a family touring vehicle to replace an Everest, Fortuner, Pajero Sport etc. Its a fancy wrangler in my view..
    Suspension is also VERY soft and braking at high speed (100kmh) looks to be a serious problem.

      I'm not even loading it on that example, it's VERY basic
      They hiding the weight issue. It's not on their SA spec sheets on the GWM website.
      Reading the marketing and sales talk on all their own documents.
      Tow rating is 2500kg.
      That puts 250kg on the tow ball, so the 400kg goes to 360 with the tow bar less 250, leaves 110KG left BEFORE you put a single person or bag in.
      It's a major problem.

    Worried about Chinese quality and service. Nuts and bolts are softer, platisics are worse for quality, cheap bearings and all over electronics can't be trusted. Not even close to Japanese cars for a start. All the features does not make it a better quality car, just more items that can brake down. By a Fronx rather.

And in fact every other manufacturer uses chinese made components. So whats the difference exactly? Apart from your racism.

      Hilux is boring and will get stolen. R500k is not that much for a vehicle nowadays but for you it must be a lot of money, I am sure. You should in a communist country where there is no competition. Toyota (Hilux) is what was the Lada equivalent in the USSR.
